No body is playing him because they took away his spin which was his main Kombo starter/ender and keep away tool...he plays like L Kang in mk11 which is not what KL mains want
Good shit, bro. I'd love to play you in MK1 one of these days. And I'm so happy to say that I cracked the code with Reptile. He has so much more going for him than even I gave him credit for originally. I need a lot of practice to get to that level, but I genuinely believe a fully optimized Reptile is top 5 minimum and low-key busted. Real shit
Bruh the funny thing is right after we had that conversation about reptile being kinda bad and people not figuring him out yet that day like 5 minutes later I played the best reptile ever 😂. I honestly think everyone in this game when paired up with the right assist is busted. Reptile def not too 5 tho buddy cmon. I do know his game plan now tho and think he is slept on
@@NickyJ_58 Was that Reptile using Sub-Zero to get a guaranteed invisibility? I'm pretty sure my gameplan with Reptile is something you haven't seen before, but IDK. I wish I could see that set. Reptile has dirt and I mean solo dirt that's honestly BS if they know what they're doing. I stand by my opinion that he's top 5 if fully optimized. I just need to put in the work to show that
@@NickyJ_58 I promise that I'll do my best to show off what Reptile is truly capable of. Execution and good neutral permitting, lol. And I like that assist/strategy. Motaro is good for Reptile. I personally use Goro
What i love about kung lao is his playstyle, I am aware of his flaws but at the same time he just a fun character to use, i use Kung lao kameo for good zoning and pressure, so i can anti-air but i always prefer dropping the combo, mainly because of the risk of not relying on aerial combos as much, But overall i love his character, I pray for a good skin, even a god skin perhaps 😂 Currently just make look like titan kung lao
Yea he’s tons of fun bro, and I’ve actually been wanting to learn him with Kung Lao as a kameo to help when I get zoned out. And I actually like some of his skins 😭
after seeing this, I wonder if scorpion is actually better than goro for lao? You get a side switch on wakeup reversal, and the combo extensions are kinda nice
Not at all bro. Scorpion gives you a few more combo routes but Goro gives you combo routes to, but it’s the fact he does that AND keeps you safe. I think kung Lao and goro are better assist for Lao.
@@NickyJ_58 Gotcha. Both make kung Lao super fun to play. If there’s one bad thing about playing Lao though, I think it’s that his d1 has terrible range. You can’t punish most blocked d1’s with a d1 with Lao
Bruh it’s so annoying! Everytime that happens or I press standing 1 to anti air and they don’t even face the right way i he wanting to throw my Xbox out the window
That whiff @1:05 ish, wasn't your fault. That was the P2 bug that's going on right now. In case you didn't know. P2 has a slightly smaller hitbox so combos that should work as P1 don't work as P2. They're patching it next week, but it's been a huge issue. Loved the video though. It's good to see people playing Kung Lao. It's been surprisingly hard to find fellow KL mains on YT XD
Thank god it’s getting patched soon 😂. Yea it’s weird that even people that were known for playing Kung Lao in the past aren’t playing him even tho he’s good lol
I'm doing pretty good with laos mix ups and block strings but some people punish my shimmy after my cameo with long buttons I need a new option for that
If you mean shimmy buy walking forward then back trying to bait a throw tech then just gets up in their face and use you 2 1 string. It’s an auto shimmy.
Just started playin lao so I’m watching your videos.. have you tried Lao with Lao kameo? Gives you some nasty mix. I’m new to MK you’re way better than me but curious
this is my first fighting game and I love it, I really enjoy how diverse combos can get but unfortunately i am not that good :( thanks for the kung lao gameplay i think I might try him he looks fun
Give a go Don't worry about W/L ratio It just a number if just play heaps you will get there, I was also hesitated of using kung lao but for me he is a fun character to play, majority of the game is experimentation. Besides the more lost ratio the more matches, everyone has a ego for wins/lost so just have fun my friend
Love kung Lao but he’s so punishable with every move 😭and on top of that there is some glitch with one of the wake ups where the opponent will phase through you
Bro that glitch be pissing me off 😂. Yea you gotta pair him up with like goro or Kung Lao to keep him safe. It’s funny that people think he’s top 5 even though he’s he’s really not
@@NickyJ_58 bro that’s what I’m saying. Kung Lao isn’t but if there is a good Kung Lao that mf really good at the game. I always find myself maiming him even though I be wanting to use other characters
Complete trash. I could vent about it for days bro. To keep it short. The startup isn’t that fast so you can get hit out if it and it’s super punishable on block. I have no idea why he even has it. I thought maybe it had extra hits if armor to actually give you a reason to use it over his other reversal but it’s the same. And unrelated but ima keep complaining. His anti airs are trash and now he can’t even use spin to anti air like he could in the other mk’s smh
@@NickyJ_58 damn thats crazy, i love using lao in 9,X and 11 and was just abt to pick him up. Safe armour launcher is godly but that spin needs some changes it seems. I think it would be great if it was a quick reversal like it was in X, and similar to lie mei's kick. Keep up the solid content bro
I think when paired up with the right kameo he’s an absolutely AMAZING character. But him on his own he has a few problems. Terrible range on his buttons, punishable on his strings and overheads, and no mix. But when you play him with a kameo that can either keep him safe or keep him safe and give him combos he’s easily top ten.
Yup, DB 1 is a mod so you can catch people neutral ducking sometimes. If you’re talking about why I do it in combos sometimes it’s just cause of a input error 😂.
Try to hit your standing three high up. It doesn’t have to be at the maximum height cause the recovery off your back 2 three is almost instant and it allows you to input 121 pretty much immediately after that string finishes

i need a tutorial from you bro, kung lao is my favorite and nobody plays him so there isnt much out there
I don’t know if I’m good enough with Lao to make one but I’ll see what I can do 😅
Same😂
No body is playing him because they took away his spin which was his main Kombo starter/ender and keep away tool...he plays like L Kang in mk11 which is not what KL mains want
he actually still has his spin btw@@Skybar23

Haha thanks man. Scorpion and Lao have a lot of sauce
I love your videos!
Can you please show us how you that full combo with scorpion?
I've been practicing it hundreds of times and I just do it..
Thank you bro! There a king lap guide on my channel. If you skip to the end I go over his combos and speak a little on the timing of them
Thanks so much🙏🏾

Yea bro, I’ve had a lot of request so I’m planning on doing one in the future
lol I went to college with the dude who was playing ashura
That hat is cold 🥶
Def my favorite one in the game so far
thas some dope gameplay brother, i picked up shang tsung i dont think im reaching elder god this szn lol, he execution heavy
Lmaooo. Thanks bro. Yea Shang is definitely difficult to pick up. But when you get him down it’s gonna feel so satisfying

That hat for kung lao is fire how did you get it?
I don’t remember exactly but I’m pretty sure I bought it from the store the first couple weeks the game was out
Nice Lao
I recently grinded to grandmaster with kung lao and it was a bitch i aint doin no more but glad to see kung lao kicking ass in kombat league
Lmao. Yea if you don’t play Kung Lao with the right kameo it can def make things a LOT more difficult
@@NickyJ_58 Sonya was pretty good
@@Striker2097 meh. The best asissts for kung lao are ones that either keep him safe or give him combos AND keep him safe

It’s super hard to get damage with sub after the nerfs.

@@izzaacmcintyre2608 thanks bro
Did this season 1 and 2, kunglao jax is my team.
Why there is so much darkness 😵
Kung lao good but man his strings have little to no fucking range bro . Shit be pissing me off

Is there a point in using the DB 1 hat throw? Because i think the RL 1 hat throw is better

Lol it’s always nice getting those freebie players to level up
How you get that skin lol it’s cool
Just gotta level up lao’s character level. You get it pretty early on
Shit, didn't know I reached demi god but bam here I am! I am so good I should make a channel ;)!
Dude how you get that combo at 9:11 to land? I stay dropping it

Hamburger or hotdogs ?
Hamburgers for sure
How do I get that lao hat
Tbh I think I got lucky opening up chests in invasions. I haven’t seen it for sale anywhere throughout mk
I think I have that hat for him and I believe I got it from the seasonal store but I'm unsure tbh
1v1 me Nicky 😂
Another day being last again 😢
That’s good bro the more comments the merrier
