Damn Kung Lao seems pretty cool, I could see myself pocketing him. I can already imagine what M2dave is thinking:

"I bet you mediocre Batman players are celebrating the fact that there's yet another character that can nullify the opponent's footsies, to mask the distinct lack of their own. These fools wouldn't last a day with General Zod, who requires strict execution and impeccable fundamentals".

Every variation looks rediculous.

He now has multiple mid hitting strings, a low crush cartwheel.
Tempest looks siiiiiick, hope the hat doesnt absorb projectiles if the player is blocking.

Did you guys saw how incredibly low the dive kick can be performed?

So @colt want to normalize Bird Lao, i think he missed the part that tele wasn't a stapple or as foxy said not that much relevant in the bird lao tatic, dive kick was, anyway i think he changed the dive kick trajectory a bit so maybe he can no longer go over peoples head from a blocked instant air kick and wait the reaction on the oposite side with standing 2.

Well, i'm sure we will still bird if that dive kick height restriction sustain until the final version of the game.

what really annoys me as a Raiden main is that hat trick is basically a better version of master of storms...hopefully they buff master of storms Raiden otherwise it'll be a rather useless variation compared to hat trick especially considering raiden loses his teleport whereas kung lao always retains his

Spammer. Crouch walk hater.
I have to admit, not having the old fast low hat projectile is really a breath of fresh assair.

Well i must say that i really like the new kung lao since it looks like he takes alot of skill and has a lot of good strategies.
Well if you have watched the stream lately then you must have seen that Lao can actually place his hat some where in mid air. That probably gives him the potential to uppercut the opponent into the hat so can pull out huge damaging combos if i am not mistaking.
Also his slow groundsaw hat is a great pressure tool since it reminds me of K´Dashes EX Trigger in KOFXIII. It is slow and allows you to get in easily so you can put the opponent into huge blockpressure or maybe 50-50s? well too soon to say that but the potential of a slow prjectile is just amazing.

For example imagine the slow ground projectile comming at you and Lao suddenly teleporting . You can try to jump out of it you might get caugth by laos telekick like MK9. The other thing you can do is to block and get huge block pressure. using an Armour move might help but still all speculations.
I am just so impressed by his tools that i think of all kind of scenarios. What i can say now is that LAO is surely going to be one of the most if not the most fun char in MKX(so far). And this time he will be damn hard to use if you think about the strategy it takes to destroz the opponent. I really hope he gets like Bryan in Tekken6 (streanght wise) where he is the strongest only if you use his hardest shit ^^

Wow did not intend to make it that long haha but i could even go on since Lao impressed me that much.

Nah, I just care about balance. Players like you won't admit when KL is broken or your fav character is OP because you use them...

I use mid tiers in general and against KL, I bet you just whore KL right? Given your username kind of a give away.

@Evil Eddy Wang lol yeah, of course but remember what Paulo said. A key component to bird lao was his teleport going up then coming from the ground so he had that pressure in MK9, MK X he goes down into the ground then comes up from such so he won't dominate the air as much lol :)

I also noticed his ground hat is a lot slower now. He looks good but I don't think he'll be quite as top as he was in MK 9. As long as we can punish the dive kick when blocked(which we can) I'm good lol. Just thought, with Ermac I bet we can do the woowoo lol when KL teleports making him dodge it? hmmm or Raiden's displacer could perhaps avoid it. Already thinking of ideas lol

Just play who you like and enjoy. Don't base it off a list which is subjective anyway.

Consider raiden only has superman and shitty projectile cross variation, sub ice ball and slide, etc. but low is going to have projectiles spin dive kick and tele cross variation you just wonder if someone at nrs has a Lao boner. Hard to believe he won't be pretty good in one or two variations to say the least
