LAO
YOUR NEW WEAPON IS BIRD FRIGGIN' LAO
A F0xy Grampa WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE
YOU'VE CREATED A MONSTER AND DAMNED US ALL
TOO MANY BIRDS
I should've made Mileena's extra big and added a of me screaming behind her. Lao's the reason I dropped her ages ago.Lt. Box Rofl. Almost spit out some sushi.
I don't think Bird Lao is bulletproof. Far from it. And it's useless in some match-ups (Kitana or even Mileena), but Kung Lao is a mobility character, and jumping around the screen like a maniac actually seems like a better idea than playing footsies with mediocre pokes and standing normals that can be poked out of. I mean whether it was exact "Bird Lao'ing" or not, that's kinda what the EVO champ did two years in a row and it paid off.I'll say this about "Bird Lao". At least the MKC is done pretending the fabled "footsies Lao" is good.
Y'know what the Regular Lao V Bird Lao debate reminds me of?I don't think Bird Lao is bulletproof. Far from it.

I actually think it works very well against Cage. But Ermac, Kitana, Kabal, Meleena...not so much. Though in fairness, he doesn't need to do anything against Mileena.Y'know what the Regular Lao V Bird Lao debate reminds me of?
The old wars of words and giant debates during the Tom Brady V Denzell feud over rushdown Sub V Brady Style Sub.
The goal isn't to decide which way is better, because it's impossible to pinpoint.
The goal is to take the best of both sides of the coin, lay them in an egg, and make them one.
Although right now, Bird Lao is looking pretty damn good...even though as you put, there are certain matchups like the Princesses, Cage, even Ermac and Rain to an extent, that such a playstyle would almost certainly hinder him in.
(I still think that was MK's best feud ever, along with Junior VS Tyrant and Curbo VS The World.)
I only say Cage because if Johnny blocks a Dive Kick, it's gonna HURT for Lao with the right amount of bars and luck.I actually think it works very well against Cage. Ermac, Kitana, Kabal, Meleena...not so much. Though in fairness, he doesn't need to do anything against Mileena.
That matchup is insane.so then how does lao play the kit matchup then if birding won't help much?
What should lao do against Mileena????I actually think it works very well against Cage. But Ermac, Kitana, Kabal, Meleena...not so much. Though in fairness, he doesn't need to do anything against Mileena.
React. I know it sounds simplistic, but don't jump, don't teleport, don't do much. Just throw hats, roll, pressure her with low hats, you can even cancel roll into low hat (she can't full combo punish it), and punish her hard for block teleports, rolls, or ex teles. The second hit of ex tele should be blocked low, then you can punish with 2 into ex hat for 42%, or D1 into meterless combo. Roll should be punished with jk/dk into f3 spin.What should lao do against Mileena????
I can not beat her for the life of me...
It's making me so angry...
3 frame, yes. Not sure about 2.i wonder...is it possible to activate EX teleport within a minimum 2frame window? or maybe 3-4?
