actually armor doesn't work because the 2nd ball jails into the MB. I use f2 to punish HLs.

does it jails? if the 3rd hit whiffs you can run up punish
If you don't have long-reaching armor I can easily condition you to block the 3rd Hell Spark and not punish me even if I don't MB it. You're a Shinnok player and this is kind of a big deal of his game play you should know this lol.
If the 3rd spark whiffs yeah Shinnok is fucked.
dude we are talking about when the 3rd spark whiffs. (unless they are blocking low)
im for both.
why not both man? buff AAs and destroy JIs. plus I'd nerf jump frames.
Except good players are hitconfirming it. Good lao players rarely do 112124 into hatspin on block
There's plenty examples of Foxy and King and other Lao players doing it on block.
Not to shit on other lao players, but I really think the way foxy plays kung lao is the most effective way to play it. Most of the time you dont want to cancel 112124 into hat spin on block because it removes the threat of armor and his other moves that require the hat like jump back 2. You just do it sometimes when people keep mashing buttons after 11212 and sometimes you just mess up your confirms.
Yeah I understand , make them to where it requires execution, but where its possible to win trades all times once timed correctly.... I think MK9 AA system but too easy in this games wth universal jumps
Hold up. Lao hat spin shouldn't even be compared to what raiden had with the OS b2. That's an unfair comparison.
In this game hat spin not being safe is huge. I mean, think about Cage's f3 for a second. It's a fast advancing mid that leads to a full combo on hit and is plus a billion on block due to run cancels. I'd argue that's way better than hat spin being safe. Not to say Cage's entire game is as good as Lao's, but tools shouldn't be assessed in isolation to the game.
I didn't say anything about 12124 specifically, I'm just saying Lao can just throw hat spin out and be safe after anything then hitconfirm into a combo. No risk whatsoever.
Why is hat spin not being safe huge? I think Cage's F3~SKRC is ridiculously good but that's the nature of run cancels. Lao is not run cancelling.
I agree, I just wanted to make an analogy everyone would understand. Being able to make everything -3 is stupid though and that's what I wanted to get across.
But what does it matter if you're run canceling or not? I mean, yeah I guess run cancels require some stamina (in Cage's case it's not even that much), and a minimal amount of execution (if someone can't do f3~run cancel, then they're kinda hopeless), but that's about it. The result is what counts. You're still having access to a safe mid launcher that is super plus on block. And I'd argue that this isn't really the nature of run canceling for everyone (see: Pion, Scor).
Why buff like 23 characters when you can just nerf about 3? Especially since if you happen to miss the mark on one of those characters and go over slightly which will inevitably happen, you'd have to buff all the rest again if we too, this approach. The power creep is silly as is we don't need 24 Summoner level characters during it out, there is a healthy balance for the majority of the cast atm, doesn't need to be completely thrown out, just tone up or down a couple of major weights from each end
Isn't F3 RC pretty much the same thing for Scorp?
