I feel bad for Kung Lao. He's a cool character and a very strong fighter in his own right and yet everywhere you look, people compare him to Liu Kang or say he's not worthy of being the Great Kung Lao's heir. I mean, seriously- he's beaten Bi-Han, Goro, Kintaro, and Shang Tsung and Quan Chi at the same time.
I like how Sheeva is very conveniently forgetting that _two_ of Great Kung Lao's descendants have defeated Goro. I'd say his death is more than avenged.
The hat exchange with Erron Black is my favorite, and it also highlights an issue with his character. Every other MK character with an iconic weapon gets at least some focus on a secondary weapon in 11 except him. He's all hats.
you can say the same with liu kang with his fire. but he has martial arts. kung lao also pairs his hat abilities with martial arts. if he doesn't have his hat he still have his skills. And also doesn't Lao have some spiritual powers too?
It's especially bad because Kung Lao more than any other character loses a majority of his combo strings and certain special moves without his hat-like if he has his orbiting hats equipped and has them orbit him or his opponent, he will lose a lot of moves and have some altered. Fujin has the right of it.
Kung Lao honestly reminds me of Crane from Kung Fu Panda Lots of confidence Constantly mocked and underplayed Cool hat Wind attacks Trained by two masters Friends with the chosen one/dragon warrior Turned into an undead slave of evil Plus Kung Lao ironically knows Mantis style kung fu Kung Lao VS Crane for Death Battle anyone?
@@justsomeguy6336 that’s not the same thing as calling Liu Kang his better, saying they prefer him, calling Liu Kang his superior, or saying he’s just the wingman.
@@numa2k147 either way it’s annoying to deal with. It’s especially annoying because literally half of these people knew Kung Lao in MK9 and still treat him like shit. Like Jade and Kitana….as if Kung Lao wasn’t the one who came up with a way for both him and Liu Kang to rescue Kitana or Kung Lao helping Jade to walk after she was injured by Skarlet.
Kung Lao gets special credit as a character for me, because to this day, of all Mortal Kombat characters, he is the only one that has successfully given me nightmares (I started playing this when I was 9 years old with MK9, and it had a certain fatality, so yeah. I’m a guy. There’s the hint for you.). Which is cool, because of the two of the Shaolin, they’re both so amazing, but I think he just slightly edges out Liu Kang as my favorite of them both.
I'm an old-timer from the late 80's, so I was a little kid when MKII came out and Baraka gave me nightmares (creepy monster with blades in his arms.) Also the Dead Pool stage because a character would always drift away as a skeleton after the stage fatality.
Note: This is reupload because i made a mistake with using wrong intros with Noob Saibot and Cristopher Lambert. Also some of the dialogues may be missing (Geras, D'Vorah, Kotal Kahn) because the dialogues seem to be bugged.
Deadpool: Oh my God, it's Kung Lao! Can you do that fatality where you slice your opponent down the middle? Kung Lao: You want me to do that to you? Deapool: Trust me, I've come back from worse. * Kung Lao: What exactly is a Netherealm Studio? Deadpool: The guys who I threatened to sue for using my name on that acid stage unless they put me in this game. Kung Lao: Start making sense, loudmouth. * Deadpool: If I win, I get your hat. Kung Lao: And when I win, I get your swords. Deapool: Hah! Might as well call me Pool-Lao right now!
Might be thinking of Liu Kang. Don't recall if it was ever brought up in the story, but one of the intro dialogues between Liu Kang and Kung Jin goes like: Kung Jin: You never could accept me. Liu Kang: I am aware of your proclivities. Kung Jin: Wow, thanks for the vote of confidence! (Much like a lot of the cast, Liu Kang was kind of a dick in MKX.)
And there's something funny about Kung Lao in this game: I watched a cartoon called the Casagrandes (a spin-off of The Loud House) and i've heard Par has Kung Lao's voice in this game, that's crazy, uh? 🚚🍎🍇🎸
Tetsuo Shinozuka: I came all this way to fight you? Kung Lao: You have the honor of fighting a great master! Tetsuo Shinozuka: You're just a blabbermouth liar.
I hated the whole overconfident with a fragile ego they made him in this one. Honestly, NRS can't stick to one idea or design, seriously, have you noticed how characters changed personalities and even outfit in every game? They can't commit to something and it only results in weak stories and weak characters, the end result, full on retcon ex-machina.
MKX Kung Lao is not _nearly_ as witty. As a matter of fact, Most of the dialogue for the pre fight scenes in that game are bland and uninspired. You learn a lot more about the characters individual personalities in 11.
@@vanquished1805 Distorted isn't the correct word. More like just focused on one aspect of his personality. Speaking of which, previous timeline Kung Lao barely had a personality and was almost humble to the point of self-loathing.

Definitely one of the more impressive win-loss ratios.
And they act like that never happened.
@@byronmeir1240 To be fair, Kronika f---ed up the timeline
to be fair they know hes strong... hes just very ignorant lol
@@SnowyWolborg too bad he died in both MK armageddon and in MK9
I like how everyone shits on him, but he almost never caves and reverses the dis that he gets into a short "I'm great" quip.
He handles all the shittalking fairly well and can lay it back at them
Respect
"I'll take your hat and your head."
"You must be an evil imposter!"
Kung Lao with the 5000 IQ.
I like how Sheeva is very conveniently forgetting that _two_ of Great Kung Lao's descendants have defeated Goro. I'd say his death is more than avenged.
I thought all this time that Kung Lao was bald but nope...
At 37:22 she's sorta forced to admit that yeah Goro and Kintaro kinda suck. Ain't no way she beating the greatest earthrealm warrior

Don’t fix what’s not broken.
It isn't an issue, what are you talking about?
Would've been funnier if the intro was like this:
Frost{ You face the greatest Lin Kuei
Kung Lao{ You're not Sub Zero.
Poor Kung Lao. He's a great fighter, all the guy wants is a little respect but everyone treats him like a joke. Like he's Dan Hibiki or something.
Right. Then they complain that he's overconfident. Not like anyone's trying to help it.
Kung Lao: Skarlet, D,Vorah, you. Hmmm....I can't choose.
Millena: Choose what, Human?
Kung Lao: WHO IS THE CREEPIEST WOMAN IN OUTWORLD? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
42:24
Alternate intro:
Shao Khan: How is your neck Kung Lao?
Kung Lao: It’s fine, thanks. How’s your chest?
Shao Khan: Touché earthrealmer.
The utter disrespect and bitching out that Netherrealm Studios constantly does to Kung Lao is unforgivable.
@@Tribrid-zv3nq No, he’s right.

Kung Lao honestly reminds me of Crane from Kung Fu Panda
Lots of confidence
Constantly mocked and underplayed
Cool hat
Wind attacks
Trained by two masters
Friends with the chosen one/dragon warrior
Turned into an undead slave of evil
Plus Kung Lao ironically knows Mantis style kung fu
Kung Lao VS Crane for Death Battle anyone?
Getting real sick of everyone treating him like he’s so inferior to Liu Kang……
Well even Liu Kang calls him lazy.

They talk like he won't slap them silly
real
One of my favourite characters!!!
All Ik is y’all better stop disrespecting my guy Lao like this!
Real
Blame netherrealm Studio. They started the trend of kung lao slander.
47:50 - the best victory pose for me 👍
Mines too, epitomie of badass
Kung Lao: Now I avenge the great Kung Lao.
Shang Tsung: His greatest legacy was a failure.
Kung Lao: His greatest legacy is me.
0:08
self own?? LOL
cant help but love the arrogant monk trope
Robotboy: Your hat, is weapon?
Kung Lao: Only when I weld it Robotboy.
Robotboy: try me.
I will always love kunglao
Kung lao is my favorite mk fighter
Of course a better come back would have been you like Liu Kang wonder what Kitana would say about that in that Jax banter
Kung lao is liu kang equal, but he's treated like he's not. Kung lao can literally beat most of them himself. He is that great of a fighter.
29:32
Kung Lao's moves are so elegant
6:33 I love that johnny genuinely sounds like he feels bad for calling him kung pao 😂

Kung lao intros aka 48+ mins of people dissing kung lao for no damn reason. Cept johnny cage who actually respects him genuinely. Smfh.
Goro: **LIU KAAAANG??!?! RAAAAAAAAAWR!!**
Kung Lao: **YOU HAD YOUR MATCH WITH LIU KANG...... NOW YOU FACE ME!**
Shao Khan appeared out of nowhere: *(Neck snapping noises)*
Oh 👀 it’s the *Shaolin Spin 👨⚕️* cometh
4:20 Yeah, you keep telling yourself that...
kung lao is so goofy sometimes, and I love it
10:50 Ironic that they are at the deadpool now.
Jax: remember the time at the Deadpool
Kung Lao: Wait, are you talking about a place or the Merc with a mouth?
Jax: It's a place, not a person
Deadpool: Oh my God, it's Kung Lao! Can you do that fatality where you slice your opponent down the middle?
Kung Lao: You want me to do that to you?

Shaolin Spin doctors got quote the fighting words!
Even in intros Kung Lao gets did wrong 😢😂
Sonja-I prefer lui Kang to you
Kung lou-Same goes for Johnny Cage
Sonja-toche
Narcissism can be deadly, kid.
Haha the Balls on this guy 🤣🤣🤣
Would love to see them
I love how Sheeva says Earthrealmers are so weak when all she's done in the NRS era is lose to Earthrealmers.
"Skarlet we hardly know each other 😏" is the best one
MKX Kung Lao: is a homophobe
MK11 Kung Lao: hates that Kung Jin is discriminated by his family
Character growth
A HOMOPHOBE WHAT
He doesn't discriminates kun jin in MKX
When the hell does he discriminate against Kung Jin in MKX???
I think he was talking about something else in mkx
Might be thinking of Liu Kang. Don't recall if it was ever brought up in the story, but one of the intro dialogues between Liu Kang and Kung Jin goes like:
Kung Jin: You never could accept me.
Liu Kang: I am aware of your proclivities.
Kung Jin: Wow, thanks for the vote of confidence!

What if how lui kang died he killed him because he was so jealous that would be quite a story
Kung Lao is the MK universe's punching bag 😂
Me: "Thinking about snapping neck out of his league"
Shao: "How is your neck Kung Lao?"
Me: "AIN'T NO WAY"
I want him
2:10 Ayo ? Pause ⏸️
Did Kung Lao get shat on this bad in the older games?
No
When it comes to kung lao he always a showoff but still i like him
Kung Lao is strong, but only one step behind of Liu Kang
“Nay aka ratakka tahar kombat.!”
All I understood from that was Kombat
Then you understand enough
Kung Lao, The Maidenless
2:10 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tetsuo Shinozuka: I came all this way to fight you?

Tetsuo Shinozuka: You're just a blabbermouth liar.
He would always be a sidekick
