INCASE you guys didn't realize yet this doesn't exactly work , for one after the b321 ex df1 you aren't plus enough to hit a f1 so cassie for example can just do b12 or something and it'll beat yours , also if you just crouch f14 the ex df1 won't even hit , it'll go behind them

Ok captain killjoy, it's just an combo video

Buzzsaw may be 2nd fun to play KL after HT.

 

[Big Pampering]

11212 spin doesnt combo on ermac anymore...

 

[just_2swift]

Me talking shit about his up saw frames paid off now we don't have to spend bar to convert. I can covert off anything now with buzz saw. Also is it me or 21 hardknock is different? Feels funny

It hasn't for awhile. His 4 still whiffs a bit in 112124, F21 xx orbiting hat doesn't combo midscreen on males. A lot of bugs still going on.

New Brutal off of tele 1. Not sure if there are special requirements.

Well, that shows you how often I end games with the Teleport.

It still did combo when I played it. Which was before the new dlc came out.

Yeah um I just said so because that could've been legit and i thought it was so I tested. What's wrong with spreading info? Not everyone knows

 

[Smascer]

Was it possible before?

 

[Captain l2ed]

Was it possible before?

No sir. Could not connect off of non-ex grinder.

I'm feeling really lost with Tempest guys, what do I do now?

 

[Captain l2ed]

I'm feeling really lost with Tempest guys, what do I do now?

I play him the same my man. Hit confirming into tele is the money maker now imo. B12 is so much better now, swap it with f23, I try to save ex spin for aas

 

[Jaku2011]

B12 is great but it's a high and has no range I've been having so many issues against my friend doing b1 staggers all day with Flame fist. Not to mention ex teleport moves wiff all the damn time

 

[Captain l2ed]

Use b12 as a punisher and it's 0 on block so it's safe but not a great stagger. And the whiff like a mutha but try hit confirming, do f23 hat spin f23 ex tele OH b321 spin. Don't forget lao has 7f poke now as well. Hat spin is even better now because of the overall loss of armor.

 

[Frizen]

Tempest is ridiculous now again. What i got so far:
1. B12 jails after d4 hits. (!!!)
2. Because of general armor nerfs, when u do for example f+2,hatspin, the gap in it is not that dangerous anymore. And even when opponent backdash his gaps before hatspin, kung lao still stays with hat around him.
3.Regular spin works great as aa.
4. f+3 in the corner puts u on block with +1 and kl stays so close that even 1,1 doesnt whiff on crouch blocking opponent. (use f3 with hatspin)
5. Thanks to change to air moves (hurtbox gets bigger 1 frame before hitbox appears) when u are standing with hatspin on, opponent is getting hit by it when trying to perform air move very often.
6. Ex teleport with hatspin is insane.
7. +8 after blocked hatspin is very good because of the armor nerfs.
8. b22~extele, 3,f21,spin works allowing tempest to combo after b22 for 1 bar (wasnt possible before)
9. He finally got decent fallowup after divekick. divekick,b12,spin works great, and allows for few % more because it launches higher.

Nothing broken, he is just really solid again WITH OPTIONS

 

[Harlequin969]

Is it weird that Lao can't do MB throw after a regular teleport considering someone like Pred got the same option. Not a thing he needs just wondering if anyone else has thought about that.

I've always thought the same thing. He definitely doesn't need it. But as a long time lao loyalist, I'd love it.

 

[Amplified$hotz]

What do you guys think about Lao's wakeup situation?

 

[mkl]

What do you guys think about Lao's wakeup situation?

Feeling like:

 

[Amplified$hotz]

Feeling like:

Lmao I'm glad I'm not the only one. Ex tele is not a good wakeup. I guess that why we got faster normals but it's a nightmare against Quan, cryomancer, Kitana, etc in the corner

 

[Amplified$hotz]

Gonna try to not get knocked down I guess and get better at counter poking. But it's not easy with this walk speed.
