But just keep blocking high and watch out for f23 and kung lao can't open U up.

People said the same thing about Black adam in Injustice, and he turned out just fine. Lao has way better offensive options/mobility too :O I think it's alright that he doesn't have a low

I'll just tele throw you to death.

 

[Clark L.]

The KL downplaying needs to stop lmao. He's not midtier. He's freakishly good. Tempest just got better too. End any block string in hat. And if you open someone up they're eating 40% meter less and 48% with 1 bar.

 

[VengeanceIsMine]

Someone who knows KLs frame traps in tempest and his data and someone who isn't just gonna throw out moves to get whiffed punished how is he gonna open them up besides a teleport? I'm just curious. This is why I prefer Buzzsaw granted it doesn't have a low opener but it atleast makes u respect low because of hat.

Throw

Throw

Rely on about 8 throws to take a life bar? I'll keep my low hat

Unless your opponent in tourney is a cyborg from skynet who's reads and instinct are perfect 100%. Then you might have problems. Now us humans, tend to make mistakes and will get opened up. Whether it be whiff, punish, Etc etc

Please refer me to this fighting game guru who can never get whiff punished. Play footsies bro.

kung lao does have an low opener from mid to full screen with the low hat.

I assume he meant low starter, i.e. something to start combos with. Not like it matters anyway, Lao definitely doesn't need a low starter.

yeah you can actually start a combo from a low hat when you throw it out from a far to mid far range.
and their are setups for it also.

Kung lao has been my fav char since launch. In my opinion with the newest patch tempest looks to be the best spec. It is also the most fun. I feel more aggressive players should use tempest, as buzzsaw players end in low hat (leaving you at even frames) us tempest players should be ending in teleports and creating a constant string of pressure. I don't think there is match ups that come to mind where you should choose one over the other. At the end of the day tempest does more damage hands down. And buzz saw always has the option to end with hat instead of teleport. I would like to have an input on hat trick but it is not as useful at the moment.

Ex teleport is better in tempest also.

His hat shield is sick and had been buffed to allow for it to be used more often and more damage. I have been working on sick set ups with it also and it has a lot of potential.

YOU CAN MOVE WHILE SPINNING AROUND IN CIRCLES WITH THE REGULAR TEMPEST SPIN DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW COOL THAT IS ?!?!



@VengeanceIsMine If you want to choose buzzsaw for one thing ( the low hat) go for it, but your missing out.

My style if play is a ton of high and low mixups or make u think im gonna throw a hat then I just grab. The mind games and mixups in Buzzsaw are just to good for my style. Kung Lao to me is the sabre wulf , batman, and wolverine character of this game to me. It's how I play him. I will learn tempest eventually because I am going to be a kung lao specialist but Buzzsaw will always be my main.

Great video Clark. Nice combos. I will check this out for sure when Xbox drops the damn update. I want to he a KL specialist so I need to. I want to finish perfecting my buzz saw rushdown first before I mess with tempest. Tempest should be a nice 2ndary I can finally drop scrubzero.

Clark do you have any ex buzz saw setups with videos?

no videos with actual setups yet. I have some videos showing off using it. like Ill throw an ex buzzsaw out and either tele or run in and they don't know what to do usually, but I am going to try something a little more full proof for sure

i didnt see it

 

[lordspinalkillerinstinct]

i didnt see it

the combo setup starts at 0:40 and I end my combo with a low hat and start it with a low hat and then i run up to him and do forward 2,3 spin back 2 into xray when i hit forward 2 you will see 2 hits
watch closely mate the other guy saw it you can or will see it ttoo

 

[BLOOD CAPTAIN X]

Hey guys I got a new combo that I haven't seen posted its only for buzz saw and hat trick

44 > f3 > EX spin > Jump 2 > jump kick > dive kick.
31%

This combo is useful online yes it costs meter but it's really easy to do.

You can swap out the F3 with F2 or B2 they will still connect after the raw 44.

I've come up with ways to connect this off a teleport for extra damage but I'll let you guys get creative and tweak it for more damage. Have fun.

 

[Notez4]

a meaty 4xxEXSpin beats out some armored wake ups. (Still testing) really easy to time off of a 21 hard knock down. So my question, is it possible to option select the 4xxEXSpin to do 44 on block? Right now this is beating out subs slide as well as erron blacks.

 

[Byites]

So i assume everyone knows about kung loas broken teleport? If you do it on wakeup you get 1 bar of meter.

Seriously if that's true that needs to be removed he's my character but that's unfair

 

[supernumian]

What are KL best anti-air options?
It seems that I can't use spin to anti-air some jump-in punch hitboxes like Kotal's.
And I suck when they cross me up. I can't react and forced to guess 50/50s.

Any advice?
