General/Other - Tempest Kung Lao Tempest Variation General Discussion

what do you think of liu kang dragon fire, i find his strings easy on my hand eye coordination to perform, have tried all player and variants and he suites me

Dragons fire is very difficult to play for me but it's rewarding to say the least.

 

[kencheese]

would you consider him in that variant a strong character scott r

 

[just_2swift]

Yes he just has no range

Go to Liu kang threads, keep the tempest thread focused on talking about tempest.

Does ex hat spin have any use?

Also what is the max damage combo you can do from a raw ex spin? Corner + midscreen?

I said it somewhere else, but Ex hat spin gives you on so much frame advantage that you can nap, go to France, meet your future spouse, get married, have kids, send them to college, grow old in the alps, and come back and still be at an advantage. So really ending any string in ex hat will guarantee your opponent has to block your next move.
And for any combo involving raw ex spin, you should be able to get 30-35+ midscreen and corner. check out ETC McFly's combo video

Nice to see tempest receive no damage nerfs in the latest update

kung Lao Tempest 50% wall combo

50%? Gimme! how many bars?!

 

[Invincible Salads]

Active frames dont really matter because both spins have more than enough active frames. buzzsaw spin has 3 hits of armor...Also they are both 7 frames now so no cyclone is not faster. Both spins beat njp clean in that regard they both get the job done just as good.

one thing i've realized though is that, In tempest you can't combo off of b22 midscreen, where as you can with buzzsaw. i find that to be a rather big turn off for this variation. as much as i like it. What do you think?

b2 hat spin

 

[The PantyChrist]

You will be better off doing b2 hat spin than b22 ex spin

 

[Invincible Salads]

.....your right, i don't know why i overlooked the fact that you can hitconfirm b2~hatspin in this variation.

@Just2Swift are you gonna tell us the combo?

Only one I'll be posting more tempest tech on my channel I got more stuff I haven't posted

Which one the 50?

 

[Invincible Salads]

Duh!

B2xx hat spin 44 4xx spin jk-Tele/Tele 3xx Ex spin njp d2 grab

 

[Byites]

i find linking 4,4 after hat spin is hard

 

[MK_Al]

Stance specific (open stance) and after J1 only:

J1 4xxspin NJP JK DK f14
Super easy combo with 31% damage but hardly hit confirmable

Tempest stance specific (open stance):
4xxhatspin 44 run b312xxspin JK DK f14
Seems to be a 2 frame link between hatspin and 44, but will be rewarded with 46% damage meterless

 

[Byites]

What do you mean open stance...

 

[MK_Al]

What do you mean open stance...

You can switch stance with L2 (PS4). Open means both characters face the same direction

 

[Byites]

Strange that stance affects combos. Talk about micro management

Not necessarily. Don't mash it out. For me I use visual cues. When you do b2 hat spin watch kung Lao back heel. When he kicks it up then puts it down that's when you hit 44 or watch his torso when you see it go back to neutral that's your cue to hit confirm

 

[just_2swift]

Or set the dummy to jump
