I really wish someone could find anything for this. I honestly can't lol. He seems so useless with his hat just watching him. It's like jax putting his arms in the ground to watch him kick the opponent.

 

[F4tal]

what the hell does his hat specials even do when its off his head?

 

[Wasted]

Can't you call the hat back ala Ronin Takeda's sword?

You can but you get I think like 5% damage from it and they just immediately fall down so theres not a lot of juggle potential :/

Nothing. He can't even spin lol

 

[Big Pampering]

Nothing. He can't even spin lol

When it is in range you can spin. When he is far away you can divekick in and then spin.

 

[Raga54]

You can do a brutality lol. For me that's about it. The other variations seem more viable to me.

 

[ridianfable]

If he had that access to the cancelable overhead...Sheesh

 

[Voodoo]

He gets a hat-a-rang. That's pretty cool, I guess.

When you spin when it's in range do you get the hat back like normal? Or do you still have that long wait?

prperties on spin dont change

I don't understand so when his hats off he can spin near it?

 

[Invincible Salads]

you can't spin when your hat is floating.

at first i thought hat trick was garbage, i realise now though what its meant for, the frame data is a huge lie, the hat return is actually plus on block, its meant to pressure and okizeme!

Yes I noticed this as well especially MB Hat return

 

[just_2swift]

His b1 2 wiffs at a certain range on raiden. Haven't tested anyone else.

 

[just_2swift]

What is the difference in low hat return and normal hat return in terms of frame advantage on block? In the air as well.

 

[YOMI DJT]

I think this variation will be the most technical to learn. Finding hat setups because the hat call back is plus on block. He can call it back anywhere on the screen even when you don't see it on the screen.

Kung Lao seems turtley/ footsie based in this, like a patience char.

Yeah its extremely strong. I think he is the best in the game right now

 

[Reauxbot]

Yeah its extremely strong. I think he is the best in the game right now

What actually makes him the best right now.? Besides that.
A patient Scorpion is the scariest. Its like fighting a wolverine that can block.

 

[just_2swift]

His f2 is God like

yeah it is basically a better version of sektors f2 in mk9.

He can punish moves in this game that no other character in the game can punish. That is extremely strong for high level play in my opinion. A move like Jax's dash punch which is only -6 in this game can be punished by Kung Lao's 4f ex spin.

I want you try it out for yourself in training mode. He can punish so many things on block it is insane.

Im trying him out.i just have a hard time builing meter with Kung Lao. And Cassie as well :/
Do you always have to use ex to punish moves?
