121 is now +10 on hit.

I thought I'd like the 3rd variation, seems like a zoner not combos.....

 

[HiddenSelectCounterPick]

Can get reliable combos midscreen in the 3rd variation, I hope one of you prove me wrong. Midscreen looks like you have to do String-DB42 -string.

Vortex doesn't work well midscreen.

This is a better jade maybe

21212 DB4 2 F1 DF1 JI3 Dive Kick is a little tight but is a 314 damage meterless combo.

The Starter-Df1amp-IAJ2~d4~string combo from lotusfist is way easier than that combo im not trying to be picky though or annoying, that is a TIGHT link.

I guess instead you can do f4 for oki after db4 2

I like the 3rd variation but with a few tweaks to vortex he will be fine

Recovery on hit reduced a bit and increase the range a tad so he can combo off his f4

ORRRRRRRRR

Give him regular spin, then amplified becomes vortex (much like tempest)

Some glorious meterless damage

How are you connecting Low spirit in the corner so consistently. It's so hard to get.

It's mad difficult. I am pretty sure I spent hours missing it just to get to a mildly consistent level. It's definitely doable tho.

Did Lao get a stealth damage nerf? This combo I swear hit for like 380 something is now 367 or so.

I heard this might be a bug or something but idk

Yes I noticed that as well I thought they sped up the start up of teleport depending on the distance it looked faster to me Also ending a combo with s4 stance puts them in the perfect distance for spirit 1 crushing blow as well.

Oh oh, i never thought about distance. I would test it.

I just wrote this down

Would it be cheap if King Lao had back-to-back Krushing blow combos?

Would it be cheap if King Lao had back-to-back Krushing blow combos?

Would it be cheap to have chain fist on his 12 like how Johnny has f3 444 and s2 444?

Would it be cheap to have his wake up up2 actually work?

Would it be cheap to have his 3rd variation Land consistent combos? Vortex to have 15 frame start up so f4 vortex can work?

 

[RM_Jago]

Would it be cheap if you answered my question? lmao don’t feel like swimming in unnecessary questions. But nah, deadass would it be worth it bro I’m just curious.

Already aware of the issues, yet I’ve seen people pull off some shit so I’ll remain hopeful even though I don’t main him.

If it's exclusive to him that would be very entertaining.

What does this patch mean for Lao? I'm in the lab and vortex is still trash

 

[just_2swift]

Kung Lao - (Air) Vortex can now be performed as a 2in1 cancelled from a Jump Attack


What does this mean?

 

[fluffybunbunkittens]

That you can jump attack and cancel it into the vortex while in the air..?

Edit: And nope, I thought it'd be an Order of Light thing, but that's not what it does. I have no idea what else that could mean.

Trying to figure it out.

 

[just_2swift]

Make f4 into 2 hits that can be staggered. Example: make the input f43 make it -4 and -7 respectfully. Imagine mentally pittbulling ppl with the first hit of f4 and they are afraid of the second hit opening up mind games like f4 f4 grab f4 f43 or f4 jump or short hop. Make s3 a mid. Add chain fist to his 12 string. Much like how Johnny has 2 444 and f3 444. Lao stagger with 12 would be great for example 12 into grab 12 chain (+1) or 12 into 12. Man I hope nrs hear this.
