General/Other - Tempest Kung Lao Tempest Variation General Discussion

[Wasted]

Hat spin has always been a rotating hitbox; that was one of the initial complaints. If the hat is behind him, he can be hit.

i didn't go over some things but maybe in another vid

Anyone have any DK combos using db1 in tempest? trying to get it to work but nothing i do seems cionsistent yet.

If your on psn then yes I can help you @stormthegates lemme know your psn is

 

[A F0xy Grampa]

i cant do it ONLINE. prolly do to the shit servers and lag. offline yes. and I never said he is worthless, just he is so much better on paper.

but if you are such a master of mk cmmon hit me up and go kl tempest against me.

Wha?

Sorry for the quality share factory isn't allowing me to up load anything.

 

[Zephyrus]

I'm doing these combos online:
b+2, db+1, 44, run, b+321, df+1, f+1, ex-df+1, f+4. Does around 46 to 48%. Not entirely sure

and

f+23, db+1, f+23, df+1, njp, f+1, ex-df+1, f+4 or grab. Goes for 38% if I'm not mistaken.

what's even better is that these are pretty safe since hat spin is awesome as fuck

swaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag with the in combo tele3

 

[Afro_physicist]

Has anyone found his most damaging chip strings? I pulled of b321 EX db1, b321 xx EXdb1, b321 EX db1, b321 db1 at the end of a scrub match online to take the game. Did around 20%. Anyone find anything else?

 

[just_2swift]

52% wall combo tempest Lao has arrived!

 

[kruderf]

Could someone tell me if it's possible to punish Kung Jin's Bo Spin with anything other than x-ray in Tempest?

 

[just_2swift]

Run xx f2

 

[kruderf]

Thanks dude, I didn't even consider run cancelling! The blockstun from Bo Spin makes it a little tricky but with practice it shouldn't be a problem.

How is it working for you

 

[Afro_physicist]

I've been able to get an instant air dive kick to be my consistent punisher. Never tried f2

 

[The PantyChrist]

Is anyone using f3 in this variation? F3 hat spin seems solid when people whiff far shit. I guess f3 low hat would work in buzzsaw as well

I was messing with this earlier to be honest it's a little slow though probably good for a hard read.

 

[The PantyChrist]

I agree. Not sure how it compares to just running in and f2 but still could be useful. I think it's like 21f, safe on block and a combo starter

F3 is unsafe on block according to the in-game framedata. Pretty sure you have to commit to the F34 string to keep it safe.

Oops I should have clarified. I meant f3 cancelled into hat spin

Lol I've just done this and it's most satisfying.

How is it working for you

Offline, it's absolutely the best punish available. Considering my execution online, I'll probably be using @Afro_physicist's suggestion of instant air dive kick just for consistency lol

I have another quick question. Something I've noticed is that if you do any string into hat spin on block it takes time for the hat to respawn. What do you guys do to maintain pressure long enough for the hat to return?

You don't have enough + on hat spin block to do b2 or b3, so go for a d1 to see if they're mashing buttons. If you end your block string in EX spin well you can contemplate the fate of the universe before you decide to do anything, but I usually throw out a b321 string

Here is a Tempest combo video I made. Annotations are in the video description on youtube.

 

[mrtom]

Are there any practical uses for holding and directing the spin?

Yes. Trolling and catching people trying to punish spin. I've gotten fools online who see me spin, try a jump in, and get caught with my moving spin. Free 25%
