Question - Kung Lao How do I do the 11212 and 112124 strings?

[EndofGameBoss]

The string is much easier to execute via stick. However, sliding your thumb across 212 does the trick with some practice.

Damn this sucks, guess it will still happen every now and then, gonna be hard to never press 1+2 accidentally.

turn off easy inputs in your options. easy inputs are a bill anyway.

This string is so simple if using the correct pattern, easy as fuck. I'll go over it... Tilde/roll/slide/plink, all the same thing. What ever term you use, I use Tilde.

It is actually three simple steps. Just think of it as three inputs, being... 1, 1 tilde 2, 1 tilde 2. I play claw so I hit 1 with my index finger, the 1 tilde 2 with my index to middle finger two separate times. If using your thumb, simply hit 1, then slide your finger from left to right across 1 and 2 two times. Should never have a problem with this string ever again.

Step 1. 1

Step 2. 1~2

Step 3. 1~2

Alot of people over complicate the string, I would get it like 99% of the time on pad.

I never could get used to the slide. I've settled on 1,1,2+1,2. Easier to me.

Actually, 1,1,2+1,2+1 is even simpler for the base string. But then you can't cancel into 4 or any special.

I agree.

Use my method and you will get it 100% of the time on pad.

I'm on stick now breh

I'm on stick now breh

So you got it down then? Didn't know if you were the one having an issue with the string. Will be happy to break it down in layman's terms for anyone who did not understand my first post. Would like to help anyone out with this, as it's way easier than it seems.

 

[I GOT HANDS]

Theres actually a feature in the game that serves no other purpose than helping u practice this string btw



Go to Single Player > Towers > Test Your Might Tower


Button bashing your way through competitive play all day

Thanks but I already had it down on pad and on stick it's easier

You need to plink 212 in a 3 frames window after you press 11, a lot of ppl fuck this up because they think the animation happens as you press the button.

however the 3 jabs flurry will only come out if you complete the plink sequence, if you do 1121, only 11 will come out.

So the trick is 11 (light pause), plink (212) (slight pause) 4

The light pause is not really needed, but if you're following a rythm code, this one helped me to comprehend this string much easier.

So its 4:14am in TX and I'm wide awake - still hype from earlier I guess. Mileena, bae, was giving me a headache. I'm getting ate up online as everyone is pretty much on her go big or go home mentality - or at least the guys I was facing. So I go in practice to learn Kung Lao and come across this string. At first I just thought maybe my fingers fell asleep or my brain isn't hitting the buttons quick enough but goddamn - I can't get this string for the life of me. Granted I'm 10 minutes into trying to learn him but I'm glad its a tough string to input at first because I almost turned the PS3 on and played SFIV haha.

Takeda and Kung Jin are probably the two characters in the game this string whiffs on the most. If it's happening too much go for 11212~ex hat, without the 4. Though they can armor out. If they start doing that, go back to doing 112124~ex hat and you'll blow them up.

I would not mind a break down. I get it when I do the 112-1-2 (slide) method but not consistent. Maybe I need muscle memory.

 

[Icy_warlord]

Just press 1x3 then 1 and 2 at the same time. Works like a charm

If you are using your thumb... Press 1 then slide your thumb from 1 to 2 immediately after, followed by another 1 to 2 thumb slide. The tighter window is between the first 1 to the first 1 to 2 thumb slide so do that fast, you have a little more time to do the second 1 to 2 thumb slide into 4 or something else. If using claw this is even easier. Just 1~1plink2 1plink2.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, I have been getting it, but cannot use it in matches yet, also the addition of '4' and the ex hat spin as been erratic with my execution, just need to practice I think, and a blister on my thumb lol.

Really wish I had known about this before I bought high quality stick for the sole purpose of this string. I've seen a lot of methods suggested, this one actually works incredibly well I picked it up quicker than I did on the stick

 

[Tweedy]

Yeah, I don't play claw, but I press 1 and wipe my thumb over 12 twice. I could never do 11 and then slide 212.

Basically what Widowpuppy said.

 

[Prinz]

This will help

lol wtf lol great video lol

 

[Eddy Wang]

lol wtf lol great video lol

Should've done this for the other characters as well

 

[Haou Shoukou Ken]

just mash your face on to your pad, voila

 

[Parasurama]

Getting it with Widow puppy's method more consistently 1, 1-2,1-2. Not sure about the 1x3 the 1 and 2 thing though, what does that mean, and how does the string come out? And if it comes out can you cancel into ex hat spin on block which is what I really want for pressure or normal hat spin on hit for combo.

1.is it still cancelable into a special or the 4 afterwards?
2.what are your controller settings?

 

[FluffyKittenPops]

Decided to pick up lao and this string is annoying. i can only get it with 11, 1+2,1+2
