I've always thought bicycle kick is dumb.
When it comes to every other move in the game, if you block a high, you're locked into blocking, you can't just "let go" and be good to go. Liu Kang's bicycle is 100% useless because of the properties of him travelling over the opponent. Bicycle should work the same as every other high in this game, you can neutral duck it at the start, but if you block it at the start you're locked in to take the full move on block.
I'd like to see that changed and honestly I don't think it'd be much of a buff since bicycle is already unsafe on block and the EX has a gap in it, more a quality of life change. If that doesn't change, I'd like to see him have the ability to EX bicycle kick on whiff, providing him with the option to do his weird reversal flip shit to blow up people that try neutral ducking it post blocking.
I don't agree with the DB2 change, but I would like to see his D1 changed to 8 frames. There is a huge difference between an 8 frame D1 and 9 frame D1 for Liu... Basically every poke but D3 is terrible and D3 is nothing short of broken in comparison (super low profiles, + on block, etc..). I'd be willing to see D3 taken down a notch (making it -2 or something instead of +1) to have more value given to his D4 and D1.
Overall though, lets be honest here, Liu Kang doesn't need buffs. I just feel like he could use some quality of life changes and value those higher than some other things that I'd personally be willing to get nerfed.
