What have you done again? I dont remember your name being on any majors top16.Lol, funny thing is I was at Evo this year and either Pig or Claude "Forgot" to put me in the bracket. I hear you though, should've spent tuition money on plane tickets to go play videogames with strangers. My bad
Kitana gives him more trouble than Sonya IMO. Forever King thought so too. Idk if he still does thoKL loses to sonnya badly lets just leave it at that.
He loses to jc, kitana, reptile, kabal, cyrax and a few others too.
Idk I have more issues vs Sonnyas but that might be just me.Kitana gives him more trouble than Sonya IMO. Forever King thought so too. Idk if he still does tho
lol at losing to reptile....not even close, thats a 6-4 to lao, and he doesnt lose badly to sonya at all, worst it could be is a 4-6.KL loses to sonnya badly lets just leave it at that.
He loses to jc, kitana, reptile, kabal, cyrax and a few others too.
He's not top 5.Idk I have more issues vs Sonnyas but that might be just me.
Also I dont think a char with that many bad MUs( and most are top tiers) could be considered a top5 char IMO.

please don't throw cage up theresmoke is not top 5,
Kabal, Kenshi, Sonya, Cyrax, Freddy/Lao/Cage? in that order.
lao has some tricks that make it difficult to pin down the sonya mu as a losing one. One of them being them birdlao shenanigans, which actually kinda work on her.
Kung Lao's hard match ups
- Ermac, Sektor, Sonya, Cyrax, Cage and depending how you play it Kitana.
top 5:
Kabal (who I feel is overrated)
Sonya
Cyrax
Smoke (I think smoke beats everyone in the top 5 other than Kabal)
Kenshi
well...i did put a question mark next to him.please don't throw cage up there
I misread that it was in order, i think smoke is better than cagewell...i did put a question mark next to him.
i don't see how. Smoke is only good at playing keep away (as in staying away, not zoning) and having massive damage with his resets if he catches u. as well as playing footsies with is b2. he has no low starter so he has no mixup potential. Which means the only way he can really get u is by making u whiff in the neutral game. He's good, but not top 5 good.I misread that it was in order, i think smoke is better than cage
What if you won EVO twice with Kung Lao? Would that make him the character for you?. If you break so much that you fear taking around 30% of your opponents life bar maybe Lao isn't the character for you.
Can't see these questions being constructive, if you seriously believe he wouldn't take the damage and wanna talk about it pm me. Otherwise go antagonize somebody who cares enough to indulge a pointless discussion.What if you won EVO twice with Kung Lao? Would that make him the character for you?
That's not the point at all. I offered plenty of constructive discussion in this thread, but I can't help but point out that telling the two time EVO champ "maybe Kung Lao is not the character for you" is incredibly presumptuous, douchey, and flat out ridiculous.Can't see these questions being constructive, if you seriously believe he wouldn't take the damage and wanna talk about it pm me.

try playing cage against kenshi freddy sonya and kabali don't see how.

Do you still play MK9? My fundamentals and over all gameplay has gotten much better since the last we played.He's not top 5.
Because I'm FUCKING GODLIKE!So how did PL beat Sonic Fox at TFC?
stay out of her D4 range, play the dive kick game and convert everytime, be persistent on the teleport, ex tele , 2 4 + psychic spin (aka "making reads")

wut?KL loses to sonnya badly lets just leave it at that.
He loses to jc, kitana, reptile, kabal, cyrax and a few others too.
I was just going to say that as well. Reptile struggles in that match.wut?
I think you misused the word presumptuous here, I didn't presume anything. Douchey is subjective, i'll hold that. Out of context it could sound ridiculous, but it's not. You mean to tell me the same dude who will use a bar on a BnB for 8% more damage isn't gonna use a bar for 30% damage because "He might need it to break."That's not the point at all.

Actually no. You told PL "maybe Kung Lao is not the character for you." To stick with your Jordan analogy, this would be like telling him "perhaps shooting guard is not the position for you."I'm not gonna concede common sense because this dude won a tournament. If Jordan said "Putting a bag of milk in your socks makes you jump higher", I'd ask him first where the hell he found bagged milk, and second how that makes any sense whatsoever. If his only backing is "I have 6 rings" he can blow me... PL's tenure is respectable, but facts are facts. I wanna hear factually how what I said was misinformed.
"If you break so much that you fear taking around 30% of your opponents life bar maybe Lao isn't the character for you" <- Damn you're right, flagged for "inappropriate, non-pertinent and un-permitted" conversation. Infractionpresumptuous

I didn't say your argument about the Ermac match-up is invalid. I said telling PL Kung Lao might not be the character for him is ridiculous. That's the statement I took issue with, which is clear given that it's the part I quoted.
