Great Lao's combos

Time Warrior
ALL COMBOS FOR ORBITING HAT + OMEGA HAT

(Will add more as I go, none of this is optimised, I'm just messing around and finding stuff)

MIDSCREEN STUFF

BEST MIDSCREEN BNB SO FAR

21212 xx df1, f4 xx bf2 (simple meterless combo, 283 damage)

alternatively

21212 xx df1, f12 (splat, 244 damage, still goes quite far so oki hard to enforce)


starter xx df1, ji3 xx d4 (ex d4 for more damage, not bad for no resources if you choose not to, depending on your starter)

f4 xx db1, f1 xx df1, f12 (splat for oki)

f4 xx db1, f1 xx df1, ji3 xx d4 (damage, ex d4 for more)

21212 xx df1, f1 xx db1, f12 (splat for oki)

f4 xx db1, f1 xx df1, f1 xx df1 ex, ji3 xx d4

21212 xx df1, ji3 xx d4

21212 xx df1, f1 xx db1, f1 xx df1 ex, ji3 xx d4

21212 xx df1, 121 (Swaps sides, timing is a little tricky, need to delay slightly or the side swap won't happen)

CORNER STUFF

BEST CORNER BNB SO FAR


21212 xx df1, f4 xx db1, f12 (splat for oki, does 320 damage, 1 A/D bar each, hat not back in time for hat spin)

alternatively if you want hat spin for oki

21212 xx df1, f4 xx df1 ex, f12 (since no hat used you have it for oki, you'll have to delay your f12 somewhat to get the splat, 318 damage, 1 A bar)

OTHER STUFF I'M EXPERIMENTING WITH


21212 xx df1, 21 xx df1, d1 xx df1 ex, f12 (f12 gives a 21 MKX style splat)

21212 xx df1, f4 xx df1, d1 xx df1 ex, f12 (f12 gives a 21 MKX style splat, more damage than above)

21212 xx db1, 12 xx df1, ji3 xx d4 (ex d4 for more damage)

21212 xx db1, 121 xx df1, ji3 xx d4 (ex d4 for more damage, swaps sides for slightly more damage)

the splat allows a free hat spin MKX style so that's nice

the combos that going into db1 and moves that launch like f4 or standing 4 (standing 4 doesn't launch very high though so you may need to adjust your combo with 12 instead of f4 into spin)

F4 IS THE GOD DAMAGE BUTTON

f4 xx db1, f4 xx df1, f4 xx df1, d1 xx df1 is almost 400 damage

ji3, f4 xx db1, f4 xx df1, ji3 xx d4 (HARD MODE COMBO)

ji3, f4 xx df1, f4 xx df1, d1 xx df1 ex, f12

"Game... Blouses."
Playing him in story mode and I have to admit, he's the most natural character for me so far. I've always wanted to play Kung Lao cause he was my main back in the MK2 days.

Cory, Trevor, smokes. Let's go.
Check out Hish's Kung Lao Combo & Set-up Guide on YouTube (I'm not sure what the rules are about posting videos that aren't yours and not sure about how he feels about his video being posted here). All the combos in the video are using the Lotus Fists variation so it's ranked/tournament viable. Pretty awesome stuff in there.

Not sure if 100% optimal but this is what i came up with for mid screen combos in the Lotus Fist tournament variation.

Meterless

Starter xx df1 xx 12 xx f12

Starter xx df1 xx j3 d4

1 bar offense 1 bar defense

These require certain strings after db1. Standing 2 gives more damage but will only work on some characters and f1 will work on all characters.

F21xxdb1xx2xxdf1xx12xxf12

121 or 12xxdb1xx2xxdf1xx12xxf12 (121 does a side switch)

B3xxdb1xxf1xxdf1xxj3xxd4 (must do f1 here will not connect with anything else)

When's Mahvel
Anyone manage to find anything that ends with 121?
If we could get that as a combo ender that would be sooooo sexy

1 bar bnb that starts with f13. Good for punishing strings outside of 21212 range & hit confirming. will have to use f1 instead of 121 to connect on characters with smaller hitboxes

will sometimes trade/rearly beat out up+3

Some combos using orbiting hat:

1 defensive and 1 offensive bar:

35%
f4db1 dash forward 12df1 forward jump3 d4


1 defensive and 2 offensive bars:

40%
f4db1 dash forward f4mbdf1 f1df1 forward jump3 d4


fatal blow combo 1 defensive and 2 offensive bars

55%
f4db1 dash forward f4mbdf1 f1df1 f4-RT+LT


If ur able to spend bars these are pretty decent combos that aint too difficult to do

Work Hard Play Hard
You can connect F1 after db1.

This is useful because Lao's F1 can be safely hit confirmed if you do F1 db1 F1 df1 amp

You can also optimize F21 like this
F21 db1 F1 df1 F4 df1 amp j3 d4.
