Any tips for fighting kung-lao? The fucker actively triggers me every time I have to fight him. It's not even the teleport that bothers me, its his endless strings that he can delay and the fact that if you dare to jump you're basically dead. He clips you once and its 1/3 of your life gone.
How do you guys fight him? I use blood drive as my primary variation.
Couple things I've noticed:
whenever he starts his jumping around nonsense I use dash forward and keep and eye for the down jump. If you block the down jump always use your fullest combo. Don't immediately fall back on d2. (a mistake I kept making). It's fine the first time because it gives a KB, but after that your full string is way more damage.
Lab out how to respond to his teleport with yours. If you time it right, he should be doing his grab the opposite direction of where you teleport, and you get to punish with your full string.
For combos you have to play footsie and make him scared. use your back dashes to get into position to parry when he whiffs the first attack after you dash back. Most of his strings will fall right into the parry. Once he's scared, don't use get-up attacks, use rolls immediately into parry.
Also, STAY DOWN. Hold that button and don't stand up right away. Let him whiff a string, and every time you stand up, wait a different amount of time. Keep him guessing so he can't just jail you into blocking as soon as you stand.
We Skarlets don't get a lot of quick ways to interrupt his strings. So we have to be more technical.
