Combo List - Liu Kang The New and Improved Liu Kang Combo Thread

[Black Chapters]

I hate to be that guy, but can we authenticate these new combos with the "does it work on Cassie" rule? Nobody wants to learn these and lose a tournament set because they didn't know that they don't make contact with her bulimic hitbox.

At least then if we know they work on her, they work on everyone.

Some of the combos in previous vids actually do miss her. So these are some good universal combos that'll hit everybody.

Brilliant work here man, there's even quite a few conversions here that are better than the universal ones I was using.

I made a video of combos in Liu Kang's all variations. ^^
Check it out:

What do you after a njp midscreen? (I play DF)

In the corner I do njp, iafb x 4, f213~bicycle kicks for 40%. You can do 5 fireballs for 42 I think, but it's sorta hard.

Also, got any tips on f44 fbrc combos? I'm awful at those right now

Simplest conversion is probably NJP B34 F213 bicycle kicks uppercut

For the NJP midscreen if you wanna spend a meter you can do a MB iafb, run, f44 xx bicycle kick for decent damage.

Also I felt your pain on the f44 fbc's for the longest time. If it wasn't for YouTube I would have chalked it up to not doable haha but now it's like my go to string when I start off with a f44.

Best tip I can give is to do both your fireball cancel and f44 faster. What I so for the fbc (hard to explain bear with me) is press bf1 and hold 1 as soon as I input f44. That way you basically have the fireball ready to go when the f44 finishes. Then (and this WILL take practice so don't get discouraged) as SOON as f44 finishes and you see Liu start to bring his hands back press forward, forward+block as fast as you can.

Now when Liu cancels you have to then do another f44 literally in the next frame for it to continue the combo. Keep forward held down after the fbc so you really only need to hit 44 xx fbf4. I always do the second f44 as soon as Liu takes a step in his fbc. Then you gotta train your fingers to be able to rip off fbf4 after the second f44 to boot lol

Confusing I know sorry. Watch people like Rm_Atk and Burritos on YouTube to supplement what I described above. Once you do it the first time you'll see what it takes for timing and then it becomes second nature.

Inspired me to play Roo Kang. That guy is awesome.

My go to corner combo for flame fist:
113,b34, b12, f12, windmill punches--- 31%--- 41% with buff

I like to set up my buff with f33 ex jazz hands then go into full combo.

Wow, you can do 4 iafbs but can't do F44 FBC's?

In the opposite to you, FBC's are easy while iafbs are impossible for me.

Haha, I dunno man. Iafbs are easy. There's obvious visual clues, it's one repeated motion, and it doesn't happen nearly as fast. The run cancels require hitting so many buttons so fast that my brain can't keep up with where my fingers need to be.
I guess it helps that I've play characters with iafbs before. I don't feel comfortable with the run system in general yet and doing any sort of link is new too me as well.

You should input the fireball & then do the run cancel on its own, when you have that motion down, start trying 112, 113 or F44 after the RC, & again after you get that down it should be easy to do it all during a combo.

That's The method I used for every1s FBCs.

On another note, if you want it even easier, choose Predator, his RCs are the easiest in the game, you don't have to press the run button at all.

Haha to your point - Predator confused THE FUCK out of me when I first tried his HQT variation and learned about his Plasma Cancels. Soon as I tried one I was like naw that shit's broke...until I realized I didn't need to run lol

I second this for some reason i find the f44 fbc f44 the easiest thing , but for some reason i can never do iafbs , its my first day learning liu though , any tips on landing it on a ps4 pad?

Took a quick glance at OP:
F44~Windmill punches~Jazz hands, Ex Windmill punches, F12~Windmill punches~fireball
If link into ex-windmill is that hard, maybe it makes sense to use a string before it instead? Even if it scales combo, it will do additional damage from burn which can maybe offset it. What's the problem here? Sorry, I'm new to this stuff.

 

[mVp_Ryon]

From fullscreen to corner (dragons fire) ex iafb run 113 ex iafb, iafb×4 f213xxfbf4 d2 - 62%

 

[XSeregantmajor]

• Nothing that anybody hasn't seen before but I love flame fist Liu in the corner . I normally wouldn't like using 2 bars but Liu kang is a character that builds meter like crazy so it's totally worth it.

 

[Train]

I would like to see It also. I hate the iafb. I can only hit two of those suckers.

Two bars

 

[mVp_Ryon]

Wall anti air standing 1: 1 ex iafb×2 iafb f213xxfbf4

No bar 46 wall 113 iafb×4 f213xxfbf4

Note: only play these combos when u want unbreakables or a life lead. 2 bars for no reason is bad meter management.
