They see me zonin', they hatin'
Liu Kang changes that I have noticed untill now:

1,1 was HIGH,MID, now it is HIGH,HIGH [nerf]
D2 has better hitbox [buff] (the best D2 in the game)
D1 was 9f startup, now it is 8f [buff]
Dragon's Roar and Dragon's Wrath has better hitbox [buff]
B4 was -13 on block, now it has more pushback and it is -9 on block [buff] (Kang's B4 is the best B4 in the game I think)
(Dragon's Fire) Dragon Kick MB was +2 on block, now it is 0 on block [nerf]
(Dragon's Fire) His cancels got delayed in 2-3 frames [nerf]
(Dualist) Yin boost damage now stays on hit [buff]
(Dualist) Orbs has slightly better hitbox [buff]

6 buffs and 3 nerfs. Liu Kang still is a very good character - In Dragon's Fire we gotta relearn his cancels again, but that's ok, it still is very good. In Flame Fist he got more affected because of the universal chip damage nerf and meter building nerf, but Flame Fist still is very good. And Dualist is more viable.
