What do people not understand about a wakeup attack not being invinsible. On top of that there is a certain timing to it. First of all I wouldn't even use this garbage and second of all are you guys really talking about the chance of kung lao winning because he can gain 1 bar by getting full combo punished.
Once again, if you already have a bar of meter you can wakeup tele as an option select. If you get punished, break if you hit, full combo and a free bar of meter.

Just keep a bar of meter at all times and you're fine.

I think its more so the fact that this wake up becomes safe with only 1 bar of meter unless the punish is an unbreakable punish. Again downplaying the bug, it might not be the most detrimental bug but it could still turn the table of a match or cause something to happen in laos favor that shouldn't of. There's so many possibilities and scenarios you have to account for.

"You can use Kung Lao but you are not allowed to use the meter gain glitch."

Satisfies KL mains that travelled in to compete. Satisfies KL opponents that are worried about losing to this.

Seems like this is the only reasonable decision given the fact that no hotfix is coming.
Oh, and D'Vorah gives zero fucks about this. So it doesn't matter.

So in the end youre still using 1 bar (the one you had originally) and you get with a little damage and lose your stamina for 8 seconds. So if anything it is a bad option to go for.

Again ban it if you want, but this could only benefit the kl player in a time out and this game barely ends in time outs and most games don' t even pass the 40 second mark from what I have seen.

Kung Lao should definitely not be banned.

A) That would be extremely inconsiderate to the Lao players spending a shit ton of money to travel. I mean talk about a slap in the face, that shit would be a fucking shoryuken.

B) It's either a non-invincible wakeup that can be punished, or an invincible one that when punished can be broken yes, however they lose their stamina for 8 seconds so it's not exactly a win/win.

Ermac's meter gain glitch had no possible repercussions as it could be done in combo. If Lao could teleport 3 times in a combo and build 3 bars then sure, ban it. If not, then let it be until the next patch.

Simply make a gentlemen's agreement that the Lao player won't use this glitch and it's all good.

We have to also take into consideration that this tournament will have more travelers, Kung Lao is more popular than Ermac, and it happens across all 3 variations. Banning the character as a whole within days of the tournament would cause serious problems. My idea is to have a gentlemen's agreement in place where the KL player doesn't break combos or use EX moves if he was under the meter requirement prior to the wake up teleport. Doing this will result in a forfeiture of the match.


I have contacted the TO and he is currently creating a response to this thread.
Or how about this? "Kung Lao players cannot wakeup teleport."

No, it benefits the KL player any time he has a bar of meter and gets knocked down.

You act like breaking combos is bad. It's not. If KL has a bar of meter, getting knocked down is in his favor.

If I were KL at combo breaker, I'd always hold on to a bar of meter just in case.

It would be breaking point in the scenario, where Lao being cornered with 1 bar, teleports, breaks and now Lao cornering opponent. Since the last patch Tempest can 40% meterless from a single 8 frame jab, that's a problem.

Yeah, I mean it's not like using breaker midscreen isn't safe or anything.

Ohhhh god... yeah this might be bad.

Arguments in favor of allowing the glitch make it sond like you guys are fine with it just staying in the game all together.

Banning the entire character is the wrong choice. It wouldn't make sense. But yeah... if wakeup hat does it too... this could be really bad for KL mains.
