I'm platinum mad!
I dont know why the hell you would think that.
Im just smart, and ive wisened up.
I dont know why the hell you would think that.
It's easily 6-4 in Kung Lao's favor.
it is in kitanas favor but at the same time people say kl vs sub is 6-4 and that matchup is a lot worse than kung lao vs kitana. so how are both these matches 6-4 they have a huge difference in how bad the matchup is.
After watching first hand at CoCo I def think you are right and I thought it was a huge mistake for Carl to switch from Kabal. A Kung Lao that can't abuse the air and do whatever he wants is a sad Kung Lao. Kung Lao can definitely beat Kitana but against a top Kitana like yourself they are in for a rough go.I have played all the Kung Lao's. She wins. I said this 8 months ago, got blown up for it, then have since beaten all the Kung Lao's. Don't worry about Carl not punishing d+1~cutter. She wins because she has superior footsies, controls the air and does mega damage.
BTW Sage once said I was delusional for saying it and now it's aparently obvious.
No one ever listens to my kitana mu numbers.
I think just because two match-ups have similar numbers, doesn't mean they're totally similar. Two matches that are 5-5's are not alike, and one can be slightly harder than the other (but not enough to warrant a 6-4), if that makes any sense. And yeah, Kitana beats Kung Lao. It's not a horrible match for him or anything, but she's got better pokes, controls the footsies (for the most part), out-damages him, and controls the air. She wins.
that is why we need .5 matchups. how is it accurate to only be able to rate bad matchups in 6-4, 7-3, 8-2, 9-1. thats 4 levels of bad matchups and I think fighting games are too complicated to rate in just 4 levels of bad matchups.
I play both, reptile can't do shit about Lao bouncing all over the screen, its infuriating haha. Also uppercut is really his most reliable Tele punish so its not a huge deterrent.
d4 xx forceball works. d4 is more reliable in general in comparison to uppercut.
I can get this sometimes, but if the delay the Tele 3 does it screw with the timing ?
uppercut is a lot easier to blow up by teleport than d4, if you whiff the uppercut while I dive kick over you instead of teleport there is a good amount of time I can whiff punish it with 21 spin.
I'm pretty sure there's a consistent timing. In my experiences with it, 9/10 I duck under tele3.
the tele 3 kick comes out at 5 frames, so once he is low enough to hit you neutral crouching youre in trouble if youre not blocking or armoring through it. basically do it before he is low enough to kick you at neutral crouch state after he reappears on the other side.
wish I had an offline Lao to play.
When he do the force ball i cant catch him with tp3 and if i timed it he can uppercut but sometimes it works i think its kinda 5-5. Not 6-4
Just dive kick over it. The only thing reptile has going for him is a low hit box and a good d4. Plus he can.punish 241+2.
Exactly. How can I. Risk with the dive ? I'll get full combo on block so that's why I thnk it is even
Jax beats Lao 6-4. Easily.
