There is a mechanic in MK1 that came from MK11 to keep JIK from being overhead before the character is fall downward. So his JIK from Kung Lao Teleport and jump ins if timed right is a MID meaning it's not UpBlockable.
You can do this from full screen after they throw a projectile or are in some kind of recovery or on a read.
His JIK is +3 to +7 but you can consistently make it +5 and this makes it very scary for your opponent since Geras has tick throws. This baits UpBlock and punishes hard, this can loop and if you time it right on their wakeup you can repeat Lao teleport into JIK/body splash jump in and many Armor wakeups will go past you allowing punish on their recovery.
This creates a Respect my JIK or else situation where there is counters for but it's scary for opponent to make those reads:
His F1 is 11f MID that can be ticked on F1 and F12
Now off the JIK you can jail the Tick essentially since it's a 11f MID and your +5 to +6 consistently making it a 5-6f window for them to do something against F1 and much less time for your D1/D3/D4 tick:
And to further complicate it for your opponent, you can go from JIK linked to his F12 with no gap between JIK into F1 and have multiple ways to Mix so they never know when your doing the tick and if you're doing Lao Hat or if you're continuing pressure or wave dashing into Lao hat HTB setup:
If you hit on F12 you can do a Kombo into setup or just cash out with whatever F12 combo you have:
So think JIK-TickThrow the counter is duck CMD Grab but they have to guess between JIKtick and JIKF1, then they can Armor F1(gap)2 but you can mix F1 into block baiting Armor or just do JIKTick and if they UpBlock the mid kick it's over
It's a situational thing but I feel it's very strong and it's as good as any 50/50
Anyone else got some Geras Tech?
