General/Other - Liu Kang Liu Kang Dragon's Fire & Flame Fist General Discussion

i can't d1 after i block his d3 because its plus on block tho, and i get beat by his d1. its a dumb guessing game because even if i decide to block both pokes, it pushes me back to where i can't counter poke, and the weird hit boxes of his moves will allow him to beat my advancing mids. do i just back dash after some of these pokes on a read or what?
I'll go lab
 
so what did u find? what options does lasher have?
OK so this whole time I was reading your questions wrong. I thought you were asking what options lk have against takeda.
1. If you block a d3 by lk your best bet is to block. You won't beat him with your button unless the lk player does a slow normal on purpose.
2.With lasher you have to stay in a range where you can punish my fireballs with his jump normals. Full screen is useless.

3. F12 string is good but only do it to get chip and push him away. Trying to pressure him with your gaps won't work.

4.Df4(That long low whip normal) is very good, mix that up with b2 and the low whip special.

5.jb2 or your special jump normal is also very good. Just know that the kang player can punish on reaction with armor or read it and do a fj1 against you

Don't poke after f213 fbrc... you can try armor option selecting. But feel free to poke after most other things. It is your turn after db2.
