STRATEGY:
Liu Kang's strategy is simple and to the point, safe 50/50s
*use+ and + as a 50/50. when you connect, you have advantage and can follow up with +, throw, +/+
*you can use+ to kind of force your way in. you can also approach with + or +. all 3 options are fast and advance forward so they are great tools to bulldog in with.
*the+ string allows for juggles in open space with dash cancel. it is possible to xray off of this giving Liu Kang a safe way to combo in xray off of a low.
*use+ as a fast punisher vs unsafe attacks.
*the+ string has great range and gives advantage.
*Liu Kang's+ uppercut is one of the faster uppercuts in the game. GREAT anti air.
*Liu Kang's parry and :en parry is good on wake up to get ppl off you. you can also use :en parry as an anti air and get a juggle. works great vs cross up jump ins.
*Liu Kang has pretty good zoning and meter building by abusing instant air fireball. basically from range you want to abuse instant air fireball without mercy. when instant air fireball anti airs Liu Kang gets a guaranteed flying kick.
