Match-up Discussion Kung Lao Match-Up Chart December 2012

[ShanxterX]

lao sonya is 5.5/6 - 4. no way is even
i play showtime's sonya . she takes away pretty much all of lao's options

showtime's sonya pretty much 3-0ed all top laos with ease..including cdj , forever king and more

so dont tell me this match is even. it is not very bad but slight advantage sonya

 

[TargetAudience]

In my opinion KL vs Sonnya is 7-3 on sonnyas favor. KL all risk decent reward and sonnya 0 risk big reward. she out pokes him, she outzones him and she has bigger damage combos etc etc.

Plus standing resets for more brain-dead pressure with retarded safe mix ups and massive chip damage.

this is supposed to be a number based on equal skill

and when you disagree with something you generally say why and how

 

[Qwark28]

Agreed with Cage and Kabal. Pretty accurate overall.

But Ermac doesn't have any disadvantage against Lao. At least I don't feel it. Kung Lao's mobility is kinda diminished because EVERY teleport can get at least lifted for full combo. Ermac can zone with TKP confortably, and eventually Kung has to commit himself to get something going. This is not me, but I'm pretty much sure that the whole Ermac community sees it as 5-5 or even 6-4 Ermac.

then you dont fight good kls.

teleport gets punished by full combo, thats not ermac exclusive

tkp is -11, free roll.

macs d3 is -2 on standing and kls d3 is so slow he doesnt have to poke with it

any normal of ermacs except d1 is slower than kls 21

 

[ForeverKing]

I agree with this list for 90% and the rest of the 10% im not even sure about myself. why do you think lao wins 6-4? I feel it is a 5-5 but it is more in the direction of kung lao, if you had to pick a side.

Against who?

I feel that ermac vs KL could be 5-5

Ermac can be annoying for Kung Lao yes. But I have pretty much fought the best of the best of Ermacs, Kung Lao has a slight advantage. Ermac is generally all about zoning and Lao is one of hardest characters in the game to zone.
Dat Mobility
Also up close once Kung gets in, his normals are all faster than Ermacs' and they are safe on block. Ermac has to guess when to poke out and possibly eat a spin. All of Ermac's normals are full combo punish on block

 

[ForeverKing]

I'll chime in and suggest 5 - 5 for Quan Chi. STB Shujinkydink may even say 6 - 4 Quan's favor, but I don't know if I'd go that far. I'd like Insuperable 's opinion.

This is one of the very questionable match-ups, I'm not sure to be honest. I did give it some thought for sure. It is either 5-5 or 6-4 in Kung Lao's favor, I wouldn't go so far as to say Quan's favor though

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

Sonya Lao is extremely interesting MU

My blood tells me its 6-4 sonya but Im willing to listen to Death and Perfect Legend and FOREVER KING on the reasoning

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

@Perfect Legend and @FOREVER KING

Awesome work

Im willing to come back a little and say Kenshi 3-7 against lao ......maybe

 

[Under_The_Mayo]

@Perfect Legend and @FOREVER KING

And you'll have support from every corner of the Kenshi community on that one. No doubt.

I was thinking between 8-2 and 7-3, but Sheeva vs Kung Lao is 8-2. Kenshi does not have as hard of a time that Sheeva does lmao

how do u do vs pl?

 

[Blind_Ducky]

how do u do vs pl?

never played him, although i had a chance at anaheim but i didnt know it was him and hed probably kick my ass, but not because its 8-2 because hes a better player

 

[Under_The_Mayo]

go die "8-2 lao" -____-

Fuck it. 10 - 0 Lao. Just go take a bathroom break for that match. * It's 10 - 0 due to the fact that the Lao player is essentially causing the Kenshi player to dehydrate from exhaustion and prematurely age. No matter how good you start doing at some point, you're dying inside and can't keep it up for long.

[Deity]

macs d3 is -2 on standing and kls d3 is so slow he doesnt have to poke with it

any normal of ermacs except d1 is slower than kls 21

tkp is -17 on block, just letting you know.

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

i wanna stream u vs PL

 

[Blind_Ducky]

FOREVER KING why do you think sub vs lao is 6-4 lao? I feel like its a little worse than that but it might be because I have no idea how to fight lao with sub

 

[o forever villain o]

@Perfect Legend and @FOREVER KING

Awesome work

Im willing to come back a little and say Kenshi 3-7 against lao ......maybe

I use kenshi as well and I must agree, kenshi is dog shit against Lao. Don't think I've ever beaten anybody with a credible kung Lao when I used kenshi :/

 

[Qwark28]

tkp is -17 on block, just letting you know.

thanks thats useful

 

[Blind_Ducky]

i wanna stream u vs PL

It'll end with me losing, still saying its 7-3 lao. PL will beat me. Still doesn't mean its a 8-2 mu, means pl is a better player

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

I use kenshi as well and I must agree, kenshi is dog shit against Lao. Don't think I've ever beaten anybody with a credible kung Lao when I used kenshi :/

Ive beaten every lao but Pl
forever king, djt, curbo, pboardplayer, dab, mezmerize, etc

it takes insane discipline

 

[CptXecution]

FOREVER KING I second the Sub Lao MU to be 7-3. One of the biggest problems in this MU is Subs corner game is basically useless since you can dk right out. Anyone with a get out of ”jail” free card will always give Sub problems, BIG problems.
