I mean it's not just that simple tho, just take her D4 away lol. She always has it. She can punish every KL does and her low hitbox helps too. It at least has to be 5-5, I don't think KL blows her up. You can't fight her the same as Jax, the is like a better Jax with better options and less interuptable strings
ya if you take away all of KL's normals and his spin and teleport he isn't that tough.
lol yeah. KL is good but I think people are giving him too much credit. He good, but some talk him up like he is so good he might be near Kabal's level. I hate when people compare him to Kabal, he is nowhere near Kabal's level.
No its not
I'm just telling you guys what I was told regarding Kung Lao vs Smoke. I use Kabal vs Smoke so I can't comment much on the match-up. But PL was telling me some things that were rather convincing.
eh?. you dont believe me do you?.
im not saying he is bad or has a bad style he is just unaware of certain things that he could be doing to make smoke alot scarier. im going to post everything i know about smoke soon.
What I am saying is that you don't know he doesn't know about it. He was in the heat of a match so you really need more before you blow someone up. Some of the stuff I saw seemed like it was more for style than practical. He gave up damage during some combos for the swag, but it was hidden because he connected on corner resets and the damage was there.
can't count you guys when i have no idea how strong your competition is and have know idea if you where playing your best at Evo or not
Smoke's damage is an important factor on why it's 5-5 with KL. With a character that is taking risks 24/7 like Kung Lao, one wrong teleport, dive kick, or spin can result in death combos for the round.
OK maybe not blowing him up but I am just saying I don't think the limited amount of matches you have seen can be enough to make any determination one way or the other I suppose. I am going to move this discussion to the Smoke forum when I get a chance because we are way off topic here.
rufus as a character has done more than akuma...justin wong and ricky ortiz body people with rufus. rufus was 2nd at evo2010. who are the best akuma players? tokido and infriltration, tokido has always been godlike but infriltration wasnt always on that level, he used to lose to the top of the top players.
