Match vs Liu Kang

[Evrain]

Hey again guys,

So I just had a match vs a guy called ppmoney (those of you on the EU server may of played him) who used Liu Kang. I knew he is pretty good at him, so I decided to play it safe and try keep some distance with ias and throwing in a random tele kick/ball rolls when I saw the opportunity to whilst also utilising d4. On the second match that I won he just ragequitted and told me that "i dont do combos and i power fight".

Why is it that people think huge flashy combos are everything? I mean, I could of attempted to do a big combo, but I didn't want to get too close to a rushdown character like Liu Kang as his low starter combos are quite annoying and quite punishing. Most of my small combos were follow ups from tele kick -> ball roll or just ball roll which I think did good enough for me. Or maybe I am wrong?

Ignore people like that. They're irrelevant. ♡

ppmoney is a known idiot in the eu servers.

could some with some knowledge explain the proper way to play the vs liu kang match?

zoning and then when he starts doing the same telekick and then jump punch+combo
i never lose to liu.s
or zoning when ur meter is ok do an enhanced telekick which is pretty much safe.then airsai and back do the same

mileena zoining is better but i find it a bit risky against kung
if i sai he low fireballs, same if i iasai, it misses him ,i might dogde the low or get hit on way down
or we trade iasai for iafireball
he knows how to punish both teles even with a added sai
or i mess up 1 roll or tele im eatin a 38% combo that leaves me in the corner,to be raped by mixup

if i play the pressure game, i find only really my sweeps,d4,d3 and sweep to roll are useful as the u4 game is stopped by parry

im talking offline by the way,

i also main baraka and play reptile?(mileena my 2nd main) would they serve my better against kang?
