ok spin doesn't suck but isn't that good either. pushback on paper yeah but the spin gets easily punished with full combo's. low hat pressure was, it was his pressure.
No disrespect. You're not a bad player from what I've seen, but your opponent had absolutely zero idea how to play against Kung Lao. You were teleporting like crazy and he didn't punish it with a single Ex Dash, which is the most obvious and straightforward way to punish the tele.
Spin is 6 frames, it's the best anti air in the game, and you can always get a full combo off of it. How the hell is not "that good"? Because it's punishable if your opponent blocks?
I don't think not being Brady or Reo takes away from the guy's credibility. Saying Kung Lao's spin "is not that good" however, most certainly does.
lots of things in the game are full combo punishable on block, especially the move that are too damn good. I do agree that kung lao should have kept his hat pressure, but oh well, regarless he's still top tier. I've been working on different grind hat setups and his normal movement as well.
Not being brady or reo really means not being a high lvl player who knows the game inside out and plays good players.
dude wtf are u angry about? and what u just said.... forgetaboutit
2,1 string is your friend. Try using it more.
thats why i usually try to spin at the last possible second. also another thing i've been working on is spinning pokes on block, its pretty effective if u get the timing down.
loll first u was in silent mode for like 15 minutes and now u felt like replying...
d4 low hat might not be that good, but i still think 24 low hat is useful occasionally, mostly because low hat on hit puts you at decent footsie range, which could be a good thing against someone like Cage.
stop stalking me and being under the illusion im mad at someone over an online game
thanx for the kind advice. but this footage is from 03/20/2012 and i stopped playing (competitive) MK since im working on my own games. it was my first tournament and i was kinda nervous xD.
yeah i try'd it too, but that increases the chance to get hit. maybe it helps if u first back dash and than spin, never thought about it before xD if u can punish a poke with a spin that would be very good, but its hard
the only one thats stalking u is that kid beneath u... u know ur sig
you'll only get hit if you suck at it, im pretty good at it, and im working on the punishing blocked pokes stuff now too as well as grindhat setups. I've also found that walking is just as useful as dashing if not more so in certain situations.
to be honest i really don't care what others think... as for saying why, i already sad so. u say, i say shit thats proven wrong like, having broken combo's is not what brings a character in a top tier list? (cyrax) or having insane pressure like cage has isn't what makes him that good char? cause thats what i basically said in other words.
In this matchup if kabal decides to do instant air fireballs you teleport its simple as that, pl and cd jr both do it. But only if he instant air fireballs, if you do it while kabal isnt really doing anything you will get punished.
I didn't want to get into this but you don't even know that 21 hits mid on the second hit, you keep saying it is high. you say a lot of stuff like ex dive kick on block and grinding hat tech but kung lao doesnt even need that stuff and it doesnt even really play a factor in why kung lao is really good, thats all theory fighting.
Please tell me why kung lao is top 5, I believe he is between 4-7 but I want to hear you say why he is good because none of you have said anything significant about kung lao, and please dont just say mobility, please describe how he uses his mobility in situations, how he uses his pressure etc. I'm pretty tired of people talking about kung lao while they don't really know why he is actually good.
he might not need it, but its still useful nonetheless
