I main Lui and I find him painfully simple as a character despite my undying love for his womanly screeches. I've been trying to figure out something to make him slightly more interesting. Here's what I've come up with.
______________________________________________
B312 b312 F24 bike kick = 34% standard bnb.
______________________________________________
Kang's bread and butter is going to leave you at about jumping distance on even terms with your opponent. Most people from what I've found, aren't going to even attempt a wake up attack after your combo, unless you're consistently throwing out fireballs for them to run into when they stand up.
______________________________________________
B312 b312 F12 F121 bike kick(wiff) = 32% pressure mixup/wall carry
______________________________________________
If your opponent doesn't roll, this combo leaves you right on top of them. And, if they're expecting a standard Bnb, they're probably not going to be ready to wake up in time. F121 on hit gives you 44 frames of knockdown advantage, the wiffed bike kick is 42 frames. You will have time to make a choice on blocking a wake up attack or restarting your pressure game.
Your oppoent can tech roll and wake up, but Kang has time to dash forward and block before getting hit by any wake up attack. This holds true for all characters, even those with fast advancing specials like Raiden and reptile.
_______________________________________________
B312 b312 F12 F121 = 32% zoning set up
_______________________________________________
F121 literally throws your opponent across the entire screen on hit. If you want to set yourself up for IAF/low fireballs, you should probably end your combos with it. Whether or not you do this should be based on the match-up you are in. Johnny Cage, Sonya, Jax..
_______________________________________________
B312 B312 F43 Bike bick (wiff) = 30% cross up (Might be only 28%, I forget)
_______________________________________________
F34 doesn't give you as much advantage as F121 because it doesn't send your opponent flying as far. Your wiffed bicycle kick will make you float over their head if they don't tech roll on wake up, thus crossing up their wake up inputs. If your opponent decides to roll and wake up, you're not going to be able to block in time. This mix-up is a risk, don't do it against characters with wake up attacks that lead to a full combo. Ermac, lao, kabal, etc.
I'm not the best kang around, and I don't play offline that often. I don't know how useful any of this is or could be, but give it a try and decide for yourself.
I'm just sick of seeing F24 bicycle kick, lol.
