MKXL Top 8 at Combo Breaker 2016 Set

Lao never has to teleport. Lao should almost literally never teleport. I agree Lao is a very meh character now, but with his standing 2, hats, insane run speed, and j2 (which is still decent), it's hard to say Lao "has" to teleport. I really think PL just has a really hard time shaking off the MK9 muscle memory when he plays with him and just teleports a lot.
If you want to get super technical, Lao never has to do anything. Lao doesn't even need to be selected.

Wait, how is saying that Lao doesn't need to teleport because he's got other good tools that are far less risky "technical"? Also, that's a ridiculous statement you made. Lao has to use his F2, hats, b3, etc... He absolutely HAS to. But he doesn't have to teleport, and in fact, he shouldn't teleport. It is not the same at all.

Lol sorry man. I'm just messing around at this point. Wasn't trying to spark a serious debate.

Edit: I don't mean that in a condescending way either, like saying that you're being too serious. I'm just being a goofball atm. Downplaying Kung Lao with an Ismael tone.

I feel like this applies to Pig's Kenshi too
