Her fatal blow is damn useless. Easily interruptible, just finding it difficult to pull off. Do you need full Kameo bar to pull it off too? The game will absolutely NOT let me use it whilst I have enemies frozen with Frosts freeze.

I really have some Black Canary vibes from Inj 2 playing her. And I love it. I'm starting to understand how to use her lantern the best way, and it's a great tool.

43 into fatal blow works from freeze.

All fatal blows are like that. They aren’t an emergency button anymore. You actually have to think to use it.

And yes, you need Kameo to do it. You can still combo into fatal blow after freezing. You most likely didn’t have a Kameo available

Lantern is fun, even if you don't go for specific setups the hitbox is pretty big, I'll occasionally get random lanterns that can be converted to 20-25% at least. I was watching Dink play yesterday and he threw out a lantern, landed a F3, and that knocked them into the lantern radius. Flashkicking people into lanterns as they try to jump is also fun

While she’s way better than Kitana imo, I’m having the issues with Li Mei as Kitana which is the lack of mids/fast advancing normals. B2 is so bad all around, B3 is decent but on a slow side. I had a very long set with decent Sub from whom I managed to take 30-0 streak but daaam I was completely locked down in neutral, no idea what to press. His advancing mid beat all my pokes and other normals. Not to mention his clone. Is this a bad matchup or do I just suck. He neutralizes your lantern with a slide threat as well…

If you suck, I guess we both do. I’ve been struggling the most against Sub and to a lesser extent Liu Kang, but the latter is much more manageable. Maybe I’m just salty, but Sub seems completely and utterly braindead with little-to-no weaknesses.

frost assist does the magic. li mei needs that counterzoning buff from her low freeze.

If you have meter, you can blow right thru his ice clone with her armor. Everything into ice clone gets beaten by it

Frost is a great option against sub. Shut down his neutral with the low freeze, and you win every trade. Ice ball helps alot too

Sub is still annoying af tho lol. His mid is godlike

Yeah I am using Frost and I am using armor but so is he and when we run out, he is far superior.

Hoping Pig recorded his sets against some Li Mei who's apparently the best person he's played so far
