How do I stop Kung Lao?

Kabal? No problem. H.Smoke? No problem.

Kung Lao...big fucking, shit-faced, fuck-me-my-ass-problem.

This dude, Kung...I don't know why, but I just can't beat him. Let me start off by saying I use C.Sub, so that could be an issue. Anyways, whenever I fight a good Kung Lao, I'm seriously helpless. He always teleports (which I have a hard time anticipating) that deals a lot of damage, as well as chip damage. It's hard to recover because obviously, the horrible recovery time after the combo. So, for those times I do anticipate a teleport, I rush him down only to get DEMOLISHED by his spin move. Oh what's that, one spin move = INFINITE OR 70%+ DAMAGE 90% OF THE TIME, yeah, fuck that. On top of that, he's got flying kick which is beyond annoying. Hat spin? Can't duck under it.

Pretty much the entire match I'm sitting there crouch blocking or glitch jabbing continuously getting chipped by that massive combo. I never know what a Kung Lao is going to do, ever. Every single of his specials have no downside.

HELP MEEEEE.

Divk kick and spin are full combo punishable on block by the entire cast. With practice, you can uppercut Lao out of his teleports,even slow ones like Sheeva's can be utilized. Some characters can get a full combo if they walk back and make tele whiff, but I don't know CSZ's options.

I don't think Lao still has 70% combos...at least high level Laos don't do them that I see...


Bait his spins, don't jump too much, that's a recipe for diaster, make your jump unpredictable and make him whiff his specials and normals to punish him.

Try to get a feel for your opponent's style of play as well, that helps a ton.

Are you kidding? He has the easiest corner infinite in the game. And his full-screen infinite I've seen done every time I play Kung Lao...the guy is just a cheap character, and unfortunately people find it fun to be a douche, I guess. I understand dive kick and spin are punishable...when you anticipate them. I'm saying Kung Lao has SO many tricks up his sleeves you don't what's coming, and they're all very painful.

Do you play on Kaillera ever? I've been making this kid (who goes by a million different names) rage quit vs my Kung Lao lately. His corner infinite is cheap, his mid-screens are harder, on Kaillera I don't see many Lao players, let alone ones doing his mid-screens. Every now and then you'll see one, and its refreshing to see in a way.

I'm learning how to throw in some teleports during his corner infinite, at least so its not as lame looking.
