Dude I feel yer pain on the Sonya MU, that character is the reason I have been knocked out of like 3 out of my last 5 tournies, and I FUCKING HATE HER lol. I am juggling a lot of characters atm to see how well I do against her, I just don't know if I can handle the Reptile/Sonya MU anymore, it's way too infuriating.
Well besides Blake a few months ago online, I never fought a high level sonya online or offline. I went by what I saw from videos but it wasn't enough to take the set. Its heavily in kabal's advantage so I don't know how hard you have it lol
Well waaaay to be a dick about it!
i'm not saying you're wrong in any way. noone knows kenshi like you do, BUT did you seriously just name Tom Brady as a TRUE lao player...lol just asking, if so then hell ya i've beaten a true lao with nightwolf.
Not really. Don't get me wrong, Smoke loses decisively to Kung Lao. I think it's a solid 6-4. Look at how Perfect Legend makes it look free against Wafflez. And yes, a lot of that should be attributed to PL's skill, but it also shows how Kung Lao can jump all over the screen and do whatever he wants against Smoke.
I was quoting someone who understands the game at a different level than most
Tom will be the first to say his Kung Lao isn't good, but he plays the Kenshi match-up very well. In fact, by his own admission, his Kung Lao is designed to beat Mileena and Kenshi.
My tech works only against poor Laos
what prevents you from reacting to delayed 3 and then using EX RK or EX SC?
i couldnt agree more,while smoke vs lao is without question in lao's favor i will never believe that smoke loses to anyone worse than 6-4,no character that can get 70% from 1bar or 1 mistake loses to any character 7-3.
I love Pig, but even he will tell you that in the heat of the moment, his anti-tele 3 tech isn't always super viable and it would take very good reactions and self control. Also, Kenshi cannot armor out of tele 3 every single time, since against KL he doesn't build meter the way he does against other characters where he can just touch them everywhere on the screen. In fact, given KL's mobility, late tele 3, and cross overs, Kenshi will be eating a lot of combos and will waste that meter on breaking.
Kung Lao has no reason to ever use meter against Smoke and he's building it like crazy becuase of all the free blockstrings he gets on Smoke. It's not uncommon for Laos to break twice a round vs. me from all that fucking meter they get.
yeah lol ive heard him say that on multiple occasions. brady may not be a TRUE LAO player but he is a TRUE MK player. i've always thought this since the days of the Silent1 tom brady shows. he knew his stuff back then and he still knows his stuff now. which is part of what makes him such an excellent commentary.
What prevents him is the 12013015 other options KL has once he's airborn. So you always have to make the right read.
So you're complaining that Kenshi cannot just barf something out, he actually has to make a read for once in his life? No other character in the game ever has to do that.
you make a good point but i still dont think its as bad as 7-3.
I'm not complaining about shit. I'm a Lao player, so the last thing I'll complain about is the Kenshi match-up. And I was merely answering your question that asked "what can stop you from reacting to late tele 3?"
Well first off ex rk works 30% of the time, usually they're in a position inside of its hitbox you waste one bar to get punished for 42%
