i never had issues inside of combos with that though.
That's an interesting pair. I don't think I've ever touched this version of Lao, but Air Hat is a very interesting tool in a world with like five good projectile attacks across the board.

Correct, but the timing is tricky while damage output/cooldown is not worth the trouble.
her throw is bugged. You can't call kameos during it if they were blocking when you threw them
If you don't like her offense then get on Sektor/Tremor. That's the woke shit right now
I'm ready to tremble like the Earth. Seems like he's good for a lot more than the full bar Ground Pound now.
not really sure about that. strong counterzoners pretty much annihilate her base kit. but then others cant really do much. its really all over the place, as you say.
What counter zoners kill her?
There are no counter zoners in MK1, except for kameo sub zero and (maybe) Geras with the snap. That said, Sektor is very quickly taken care of by characters with fast advancing specials or normals with little recovery - likd Nitara and Reptile. Mileena can ball roll and teleport if she tries the air missiles thing. Scorpion and Smoke can teleport and punish her and I guess Kitana can win the zoning war with the air upward arc fan too.
everyone with a teleport, armored advancing move like slide or sth like that. everyone that can easily shut down her iaf game. its only really tough for conan, shao and the likes.
She literally beats scorp, smoke, and nitara lol. And she's not struggling with anyone's normals in neutral since she has F4 which is one of the best buttons in the game
Instant air rocket recovers fast enough that you can't punish it on reactions with a tele. They just react to your jump but you can bait it with an up air dash. Also even the characters that deal with zoning ok still have to contest with her great buttons and armor
F433 from nitara beats most of her gameplan of jumping back and firing rockets - with sonya and ferra, you're looking at 48% lost for trying a major part of Sektor's gameplan. Scorpion's ex teleport and Smoke's teleport/air knife also give her hell. She is good, but not the hottest shit in town
You can bait smoke and scorp tele and those characters get rolled by her midscreen. Plus no character with safe launching armor is losing to smoke lol. I have no idea what you're talking about with nitara f433. There's no world where you should be letting her just f4 through your zoning.
Smoke can also bait your armor (and upblocks as well). Not entirely sure about Scorpion as I actually don't play him, but on paper it looks like an ok matchup for him.
Sure smoke can bait my armor but it's still safe on block so I don't really care if he does.
Be aware that this is probably going to be a match with 190+ ping. Still, playing people from TYM and figuring out tech and matchups is the best shit in this site. Maybe Sektor has indeed some advantage vs Nitara, I'm eager to know it
that boils down to the point where you rely on hard reads in neutral and that is not the material of true top tiers. she also doesnt have a single safe oki string, aside one from a situational corner rocket setup.
I promise you do not have make hard reads in neutral. F4 is an 11 frame advancing mid you can os. Literally just press the button without thinking about it and shoot rockets. Also what the hell is an oki string lol. She has safe stuff to meaty with like b34 and she has safe jump setups.
b34 can be anti-aired after delayed wakeup. technically the 4 hits as gapless mid, but if the b3 whiffs its a punish. there is no timing to cover both wakeup options.
