hat disappears forever once whiffed
ex tele into ex grab now requires 3 bars
when hit by an option select hammer, kung lao automatically disintegrates

Just add those to the op:

General
212 part of the 11212 string needs a more consistent hitbox
4 part of the 112124 string needs a more consistent hitbox

Hat Trick
call back to be -5 on block
better hitbox on call back to prevent whiffing
Call back(standing or crouching) now +21 on hit for guaranteed hit instead of launching (would fix the juggle issue)
Ex Call back/EX Low Call back has armor, its +26 on hit and stuns for guaranteed hit instead of launching

This:

And this

I 110% agree with low ex hcb to stun. That would be fukn great to connect a 44.

Also yes the 112124 issue i agree it need fixing.

Hattrick needs it most buffs. I hope they buff him i will be labbing 24/7

Perfect thats what he needs.
 
Yall just tryna make him like pre patch. He doesn't need all those buffs, what would be sensible is:
Universal:
Hitboxes for strings were corrected to connect more consistently.

Tempest:
N/A

BuzzSaw: Hat to be recovered faster if whiffed (Instead of the hat taking 3 seconds to come back it's now like 1-2 secs)

ExDb2/BF2/DF2 to have less damage scaling.

Hat Trick:
Hat Call Back hitbox to hit more consistently.

Hat Throw Out recovery reduced.

Pre patch would be a dream but he does need some universal fixes.

Buzzsaw: ability to use ex spin and spin twice in a combo similar to tempest.
Universal: teleport goes up instead of down like mk9;)
He needs faster normals imo because he's living in a game where 50/50s reign supreme and he has a lack thereof

Universal

112124 hitbox fixes (no more random gaps in that string)
F2 and b3 true mids
F23 gap removed
7f d1 and 7f s1
Teleport 2 fixed hitbox
Jump in 2 hitbox fixed so it doesn't ghost sometimes
General more safety on his useless strings and gaps removed (forgot the inputs lol)

Tempest

Ex orbiting hat plus 12 again - it has pushback already so no blockstrings a but it would massively help his pressure of he has the d4 jail mixup again.

112124 orbiting hat works on males midscreen

11212 orbiting hat into 44 works on females midscreen.

(A personal hopeful buff)- orbiting hat hit adv increased by 3 frames for easier 44 follow up. But that's just me lol.

Buzz saw and HT- I'll let the other experts handle this but one buff I think they both need is Ex spin relaunches for a combo after regular spin like tempest. It would help their damage a lot.

HT call back hitbox massively fixed
Hatarang is a mid on the way back and doesn't ghost when Lao is hit

Universal:
- Better walk back speed would be nice
- I love the b12 2+4 string; giving either b1 better startup or reducing the frames on block would be nice
- Reduce the startup of f3 to 16f and make it a high
- Back dash needs faster recovery; right now it's borderline useless
- Fix the hitbox of 112124


Buzzsaw:
- Make EX bf2 an OH
- Reduce scaling on EX bf1

Tempest
- Make EX db1 +12 again

Hatrick
- Ask @Eddy Wang :)

Give him a longer ranged high as his standing 1, like Mileena's standing 2.

Faster top end walk speed.

Everything else is cool besides fixes, like to his jump 2, teleport 2, 112124.

A 7 frame button is not needed at this point, if the top tiers are getting nerfed. I'd much rather have a longer standing 1 so that intercepting people with it in the neutral actually works when you make the right read.

All my opinion of course.

KL doesn't need longer range normals, what he needs is better frame data and hitboxes on some of his normals, i compare him to MKX scorpion who had terrible buttons and terrible strings, his other variations such as tempest and buzzsaw makes up for them with hat spin and the low grinder, hat trick just sucks.

That is of course in general, his backdash needs improving as well, besides being slow traveling it takes forever to recovery, it doesn't even escape when players want to regain space and keep getting caught by random strings.

I excuse to repeat myself over, over and over again, specially about hat trick, anything needed for changing its on the thread, the trap design its flawed on its current status, giving him better hitbox on call backs doesn't solve his issues.
Long range highs won't solve his issues.
Call back from teleports or dive kicks won't solve his issues, the holes are just too big and those buffs won't even fix whats its in need of fixing.

@A F0xy Grampa as been saying this for ages and i know he agrees, Hat Trick needs more than just fixes, he needs the ronin treatment.
