this > 1 frame link means Cage = Kung LaoKung lao vs cage is 4-6?
LOL. What a joke. Kung lao is the only character in the game than can punish cages block strings without some sort of armor. Kung lao forces cage to jump with his safe low hat strings that are not only safe, but build retarded amounts of meter for his xray which punishes you into a 50%+ combo, which happens to be un-punishable on block. If you block, you're eating hardcore chip and letting him build hardcore meter, if you jump, you get spun on reaction into a 30%+ combo that knocks you away from him so you're forced to try to get in again. One guess spin completely destroys your pressure. One wrong guess on a d1 and you're eating spin or x-ray. Your best wakeup is punished for free against lao, one of the few characters that can.
Granted, johnny cage is good up close, and it can give kung lao SOME problems, but oh no, god forbid that happens! I swear, the MK community wants a win button, they don't want to level up their game at all. If you have an unfavorable matchup or a matchup you don't know, kung lao is automatically not high tier or the other character is broken? Lmao...Honestly, Kung lao has no bad matchups as far as I am concerned. Safe strings into low hat for a bar of meter, completely safe pressure into guessing situations, he has every single option available to him, a 6 frame "get out of jail free" punisher, great low attacks, low starters, half screen roll thats safe and can be canceled into a special Herp a derp combos into over 30% each. Best xray in the game. Yet people wanna nerf mileena for down fucking 4? Lmao....I swear this community is a joke. Thats why you guys get laughed at all the time, and thats why its considered a joke to most outside the community. Its not the game, there have been shitter games taken more seriously, its the community.
Teleport isn't that useful of a tool from what I can tell, he doesn't even fucking need it, zoners are scared to zone him, rushers are scared to rush, turtlers are scared to turtle. You are afraid to do really anything because he has every option available to him, and probably out preforms you at said area. Don't jump, don't crouch, don't stand block, don't low block, don't zone, don't rush, don't wakeup. He has the best answers in the game for every single one of those options, and out plays the entire cast on almost every entire level. Kitana and Kabal are not a bad matchup for him.
Kitana- She can punish spin hard, big deal, good laos aren't going to throw out spin like that, they use it to AA more than anything. She throws fans all day and you can't get in? ... bullshit, just because you try to spam teleport and and lose doesn't mean he can't get in. Same situation with kabal. God forbid kung lao has to play normal for once and actually think to get in...wowwww must be a bad matchup. I give it 5-5 at best.
I see all this shit about nerfing this and buffing that, but you're keeping this piece of crap character the same, which is more or less completely ruining the game and INTELLIGENT peoples outlook on it. I'm not talking about casual players who know nothing about fighting game mechanics at all, and are just mk fans who happen to play the game online/offline. I'm talking about people who know how shitty that crap is, and how absurd it is compared to the rest of the casts options, then sit here on Testyourscrub.com and look at posts enabling kung lao, by people with fucking kung lao avatars...are you serious??
I would be happy as hell if my character was broken too, but lets get real for fucking once, and stand up against shit like this instead of crying about mileenas d4 which you can't jump punch and when it hits you leads to 3%. Uh...you can't jump in on lao or you're eating a 6 frame reaction spin into 30%+ but thats fine? Seriously, remove the head from your asses.
