All hail emperor Liucifer Kang!
Excelent work man, I believe EX fbrcs will be used frequently in the meta now,and I think DF might be the best RC character in the game currently.

How do you preform ex cancel, somehow its so hard for me, but can f44 cancel f44 be poked?
I don't know how to explain it... just practice a lot. F44 cancel F44 cannot be poked because F44 cancel is +5, F4 is 10 start-up frames. So, 10-5 = 5 frames will be Kang's F4 ;)

Pick up & kill it & kill it & kill it!
I'm actually confused with the current special cancels video. Is it showing that the + advantages are not plus & the - advantages are stronger? Or just to in general force a bait? I'm seeing him get hit on some of the + frame moves.

There are so many easier characters to play in this game that still do so well that I struggle to see how this character is worth the execution barrier.
I just wanted to play Liu Kang before the game came out... then he comes out and some ppl find doing fbf stuff difficult and quit him- if they only knew all the other stuff LK players had to learn after that from Shaolin flame cancels and ia fireballs to Dragon Fire Run cancels.... overall though it made me a better player I think, so I can do other instant air moves and cancels with other characters.

Is it just me or does the advantage on the switch to light and dark stance differ a lot? like stance switches to light seem to be more minus since I usually poke out of it with ease while switch to dark stance is more plus. can someone confirm with me?

How do you guys handle the FBRC delays on block? As I'm checking the patch notes Liu's delay is at least 2 frames less at 3 compared to Johnny's 5, but still. Going by feel and that's it?
