Liu Kang Meter Building Data

[Aidan]

This is a continuation of my Meter Building project for all of the characters. Check out the General Meter Building Data Information.

For blocked normals and specials, they all build 8.996212121% (for simplicity 8.996%) of meter per hit. So if you hit someone with 334 on block you build 26.988% because they were hit by 3 normals.

For blocked specials, you build meter on the initial use of the special and the extra meter because it was blocked. For example, if you use Standing Fireball you build the initial 3.725% of meter, but if it hits a blocking opponent then you add 8.996% which results in 12.722% of meter build.

This applies to all characters so Sindel or Sub Zero for example build the same 8.996% on block.

There is no initial gain from EX attacks.

You also build meter by taking damage.​

It takes 48% damage to build one bar.​

This general information will tell you specifically how much build by the amount of damage you take.​

You don't build meter when taking block chip damage.​

Under the mayor jr.?

 

[Aidan]

Well he did inspire me to do this.

 

[Zyns]

Once again, impressive!

 

[Aidan]

Once again, impressive!

Just helping a fellow brony

 

[Squeaker101]

So would a blocked Bicycle Kick be one of the things that gain most meter in the game? (not that I'd ever do one just to gain meter)

It's second only to kung lao's 21212

 

[Squeaker101]

It's second only to kung lao's 21212

It's still the Shaolin.

Edit: Even with the initial gain from using a special move?

 

[Red X]

They should make liu kang's dragon stance cancel or not build meter and can block at any time during the dragon stance

 

[Aidan]

Yep

 

[Aidan]

Sonya's and Freddy's build meter, I don't see why he can't... NRS must be racist.

 

[XBlades]

I dont see f121 on here and liu kang supposedly has a first hit bonus evertime he gets a successful parry..

Fixed, and I'm not sure what you mean by the first hit thing. You mean if he gets one as first hit, all consecutive ones will do the same thing or what?

 

[Squeaker101]

I believe he was joking.
