It's even at best.Cyrax, Cyber Sub, Sektor
For lao i use all 3 of the robots. By far i have the easiest time dealing with KL with them, maybe im just gifted in fighting kung lao with the robots or every kung lao i have ever played sucks balls.
And none of this is based on theory, at the end of the day i do feel KL is a great character and is a character that is completely dependant on player skill so maybe i just have outplayed them all.
IKizzLE you dont agree that sektor fights KL pretty well?
6-4 In Kung Lao's favor. If Smoke isn't getting in your face, he's doing it right. He makes you screw up, and capitalizes on it.REO and other KL high level players I ask since Lao is one of my main characters, Is Smoke vs KL 5-5 ?
I feel like Smoke can give me a trouble if well played by the smoke player
i accept that lolIt's even at best.
kl blows up cyrax, has an advantage on csz, and goes toe to toe with sektor. sektor has the ability to make me mad. i offer no explanation, this is just my opinion.Cyrax, Cyber Sub, Sektor

It doesnt matter if smoke isn't in your face. Smoke can't run away from kung lao at all.6-4 In Kung Lao's favor. If Smoke isn't getting in your face, he's doing it right. He makes you screw up, and capitalizes on it.
This is the only match-up I truly know.
Oh i was just about to ask for one because like i said ive never had issues against kl with cyrax, theres too many unfavorable situations for KL. Teleport is useless and hats dont do shit vs full screen nets and bombs. Blocked anything equals death. I ran through a shit load of kung laos at mlg. Tournament and kasuals. And i dont see the advantage on CSZ other than trying to lame it out, the match i consider 5-5 at worst for CSZ.kl blows up cyrax, has an advantage on csz, and goes toe to toe with sektor. sektor has the ability to make me mad. i offer no explanation, this is just my opinion.
why are teleports useless?Oh i was just about to ask for one because like i said ive never had issues against kl with cyrax, theres too many unfavorable situations for KL.

Every teleport gets air grabbed, even instant 3. Armor teleport does as well unless you do the overhead for longer armor, but every character should just simply walk away once you see its an EX, then its just a waste of meter for KL. And if you feel balsy its pretty easy to d1 into full combo punish.why are teleports useless?
How many frames is air grab? I mean there are a lot of ways to set up the teleport and Kl shouldn't teleport too much anyway since cyrax punishes hard. But doesn't cyrax have trouble once Kl gets in? And Kl is the most meter building character imo, so it's not often he gets his combos fully in against kl.Every teleport gets air grabbed, even instant 3.

thats true for the most part the only thing is the air grab has invincibility on startup even without wakeup, cyrax doesnt really have a problem fighting kl up close especially beacause of one hit death scare. As far as meter goes most cyrax players do not utilize his unbreakable combos. even if KL has 3 meters, hes going to lose 30% into a guessing game easy without being able to break, and thats just with one meter. 3 Meters can land close to 70% unbreakable. Meter isnt really scary to cyrax anymore as long as cyrax has meter himself.How many frames is air grab?

I still firmly believe cyrax has advantage over kl for the most part. I do agree on kitana being 5-5 and sonya winning it. I think ive played cyrax vs kung more than anything in my life time lolI do think at the highest level of play KL only loses to Sonya 4-6. Characters like Cage, Jax, Sektor can feel tough but I think their 5-5. Kitana beating KL is a myth. That MU is 5-5 as well. I never thought or never will think its in Kitanas favor.
Kitana's matchup is tricky, it's 5-5 but it took me a long time to adjust, you can't poke that bitch back especially with those poor pokes kl has.I do think at the highest level of play KL only loses to Sonya 4-6.

Can you name some of the best Kl's you've ever played? or even the best kl?I still firmly believe cyrax has advantage over kl for the most part. I do agree on kitana being 5-5 and sonya winning it. I think ive played cyrax vs kung more than anything in my life time lol
Perfect legend (Online and Tourney)Can you name some of the best Kl's you've ever played? or even the best kl?
I think you misunderstood the post, Smoke is never supposed to rush down or get near Kung Lao.It doesnt matter if smoke isn't in your face. Smoke can't run away from kung lao at all.
i love when they start firing bombs at full distance, usually thats when i can counterzone, advance or teleport. same with full screen net. at full distance im waiting for the projectile because in my experience thats my window to get in and do some damage. i feel safe at full distance and i like to be in your face. mid screen is when im uneasy.Oh i was just about to ask for one because like i said ive never had issues against kl with cyrax, theres too many unfavorable situations for KL.

Kung Lao is one of those characters that is mainly based on player skill just like kabal. Any match is winnable but not guaranteed. Until I fight a Kung Lao that makes me feel helpless ill continue to play it out the way I have.i love when they start firing bombs at full distance, usually thats when i can counterzone, advance or teleport. same with full screen net. at full distance im waiting for the projectile because in my experience thats my window to get in and do some damage. i feel safe at full distance and i like to be in your face. mid screen is when im uneasy.
i hate fighting a good sektor because im afraid to zone because teleuppercut. its hard to get in because of flamethrower has such little recovery and b1.
czs is a good match for KL but if you have a good balance of defence and intelligent offense up close you can win, bait the parry, punish the dk, block the low strings
