    This Lao guide is amazing Rewind, simple explanation, one thing to note if you get the chance to punish with F33 into the BNB is more damage than starting with 212.

    "When you're in range to do this move(Armor Shaolin Shimmy) you do this move"
    I love Rewinds Guides 😂 it's always a pleasure and he puts you in the high level 1%er mindset. He doesn't realize it but most of the stagger/sweep into Armor are legit mixups thats lost on most. Most players only understand OH/Low mix and there is auto shimmy, hit/throw, frame trap mix, blockstring kameo pressure mix, plus strings into delayed kameo baits, -4ob into backdash for wiff punishing and high/overhead mix(HL players microduck highs on reads & Mid/Lows/OH's catch them unless they DuckOS.
    But even a competitive player like me who plays locally in tournaments learns so much from Rewinds guides!
    Much love

    Another great optimal corner combo no bar 43% b24 s4 b24 b24 121 bf2 and a nice 1 bar optimal is b24 s4 b24 f333 ex db2 jump 4 bf2. It does 46% you can also get 2 b24's with 212 Goro cameo or just Ex db4 only in the corner 42 without cameo

    A jump kick hitting a grounded opponent can combo into a mid hat toss (down back 1) which can combo into the far version of Goro ambush. This grants just over a throw's worth of damage and a bit of hit advantage.

    I know that goro is a pretty good launch that allows kung lao to continue a combo but scorpion is too and I actually prefer him because "up RB" bring your opponent bclose to kung lao allowing him to continue the combo

    • @BildSlash
      @BildSlash ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The problem with Scorpion is that paired with Kung Lao it's only a combo extender.
      Whereas Goro is not only a combo extender, also covers unsafe moves like f2 or db4, is a string extender, and helps with KL's zoning.
      Scorpion Kameo is just inferior in this case.

    • @BildSlash
      @BildSlash ปีที่แล้ว

      Not worth it, since Goro does what Sonya does and more.
      Sonya Kameo with Kung Lao is mostly a combo extender.
      The rest of her kit is either inferior or limited utility: her leg grab is a mid, Goro's grab is overhead; Ring Toss doesn't help with zoning, and charging it only works in oki but doesn't add anything KL can't do already in that situation.
