But most MU charts are based on player performance in tournaments and the way they play the MU. There tools people don't use or playstyles that people don't consider when playing MUs. And your statement is false, Pig has beaten many KLs yes, but if he played the top KL which is PL he most likely wouldn't win. My KL is good but not a top KL. Its only a KL made for killing Kabals.
Sektor and Mileena are debateable, Cage definitely wins this match-up tho.
Ok, so do you agree with this list for the most part except for Jax Rain CSZ Kano?
MU charts are based upon performance in tournament, yes. Remember though, tournament results are based on Characters and their tools. My point was, Kenshi vs Lao is terrible for Kenshi, yet Pig has very few problems in the Match-up. He would be ignorant to go around saying "Kenshi vs Lao is 5-5" because that fact that Lao has better tools in the MU isn't debatable.
Cmon man don't be a flame you know how crazy their KL's are especially F0xy, I know you've played his lao. Mileena and KL is 7-3 according to Tom and idk about Pig Of The Hut
You don't understand. Pig has beaten pocket Laos. I don't think he would choose Kenshi vs PL in a tournament because thats the one MU KL can rush the shit out of Kenshi and get away with it. PL loses to all these cages and I know the reason why.... HE RUSHES DOWN TO MUCH. Your not getting my point when I say they aren't playing the MU right or using the right tools dude. I've beaten PL in tournament I would know. Hes too aggressive at certain times and thats his problem. Thats most of the KL's in this community's problem. PL almost lost to REO last year at evo because he wasn't patient enough man. Like I said in a different post KL isn't all about being such a rushdown character but people play him like this for whatever reason Idk.
Which normals are you speaking of? Most of his strings are 0 or even plus on block. If your speaking about d1 and d3 then yeah lol Ermac gets the blunt end of the stick with them. I would very much like to run this match-up with you sometime.
reo knew a lot of stuff about kl but he didnt play kl enough to think like a kl player and you could see that. I do think Pl should implement like 30% of foxy's style of kl in his gameplay and he would be godlike. I think a kl player should understand kl footsies like foxy does but at the same time, kung lao needs to be played crazy sometimes, depending on the situation matchup and momentum.
my friend, im all ears how do you lame cage out. me thinks is 6-4 cage. btw completely agree with the mileena matchup, you kind of need to play it turtle style.
best way i think to play against cage is to use ur footsie tools in 21 and d4. when he's comming toward you, use 1 or 2 low hats to try and bait jump ins or red kicks and punish with a read punish Ex Hat toss or Ex Spin. Or if red kick, block and punish. And anytime you get the chance to throw him...do it. Make him think your gonna poke then just throw him. once he starts respecting the throw u can start spinning him. You gotta make him start playing your game before he starts making you play his.
I don't know what you meant by Sonya being 7-3 funny. But I have to say in that match-up it is 6-4 for Sonya. Kung Lao isn't helpless, but Sonya players still have an advantage.
Umm same with mileena. Except throw low hates from full screen and just jump over dive kick and run away. Cage can't catchup if your spacing is on point.
so youre basically going for the time outs? the cage player is going to catch you eventually and what if he gets the life lead first?
He can't catch you if your doing nothing but jump over divekick and so on. How will he get the lifelead if he can't reach you? Like I said throw hats from full screen so you can block the ex shadow kick and don't throw them from anywhere closer than full because cage can jump on reaction time or shadow kick. But KL's don't want to be patient like that. Thats something tom brady would do.
don't let him get the life lead? otherwise your forced to rush him down. Lao has to make an effort to constantly keep cage on guard while at the same time being cautious with the teleport.
Flip Kick
wont b3 be an option to catch kung lao from the air? also I didnt know you could block shadow kicks full screen wile throwing hats thanks.
Yeah he cant ex full screen because your recovery is too quick. If you dive kick over him cage cant really hit you because you go over him.
I agree completely 7-3 i've never agreed with that number vs sub and never will
according to the list, Cyrax seems KL's worst MU considering that PL says it's 3-7
