Kung Lao Guide | How to Play Kung Lao In Mortal Kombat 1

[@NickyJ_58]

Hey guys. This was my first guide so I tried to explain as much as I could without making the video to long. There was a few things I forgot to go over and I think I got my numbers mixed up for some of the buttons but I hope you guys still enjoyed the video and found it helpful!

Preciate you fam. I picked up Kung after watching some of your vids. Preciate you taking the time out

[@greatkunglajos8287]

Best Kung Lao introduction ever.Good work bro.

[@NickyJ_58]

Thank you bro

[@Zimmer8000Gaming]

Lets go, I was looking forward to this. One small note, I think you've got your kick notation of 3 and 4 mixed up. 3 is front kick (the overhead axe kick) and 4 is the back kick (anti-air spin kick).

[@NickyJ_58]

Yea bro I realized it when I was editing 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@hambobanjo]

You’re super fun to watch and I love a Lao player. Earned a sub my guy, and you should have more!

[@NickyJ_58]

Thank you bro I really appreciate it!

[@NickyJ_58]

I win the game and they reward me by making me stare at goro ugly ah 💀

[@RetroRonin03]

Great guide! Scorpion main here trying to learn Lao, it’s tough going from a more defensive playstyle to an aggressive one 😭 He’s hella fun though

[@NickyJ_58]

I’m a scorpion main to so I know exactly what you’re going through. Say goodbye to whiff punishing cause you’re not gonna be doing much of that anymore 😂

[@tomacheteful]

Bro I'm so hype for this! Thank you so much 🔥🔥🔥

[@mudgepeeman3508]

Nah, now my kung lao about to start cooking

[@eddyyvanez101]

Subbed 4 videos ago this is by far my favorite. Time to hit the lab🫡

[@rdr.erased]

My biggest problem with him is the low range, and when I try to get close with the dive kick and end up hitting people on block 😂

[@NickyJ_58]

Yes bruh the low range be having me tight cause sometimes it really is pathetic 😂. If you’re mid range with him try jumping back and getting the dive quick as quick as possible so you don’t go to far tho

[@rdr.erased]

@@NickyJ_58 there were so many times that I d1 ghosts looking like a bot, or not having range to punish after block, and then using f2 but since it takes years the enemy has time to block it. I will try d3 dash 212 more (does have a gap if I do this?)

[@NickyJ_58]

@@rdr.erased I messed up my notations but yea. Down 4 is his longest reaching poke and if it connects you have time to dash up and continue your pressure with his 212 string. And if they try to just duck or mash then they’ll get hit.

thanks for guide

[@Soms_Exo]

Best Lao vid

[@bussinbussin7998]

Ngl I miss when nobody played kung Lao now I got hella mirror matches😂😂

[@NickyJ_58]

I’ve noticed it to 😂. The good thing is that king Lao can actually punish his reversal with his 6 frame startup attack 👀

[@Jokage1314]

Great guide only thing Is your 3 and 4 are backwards Xbox 3 is A and B is 4

[@NickyJ_58]

Yea I know bro. I realized when I was editing smh

@@NickyJ_58 😂 all good bro btw your kung Lao is very good after watching your videos I started playing Kung Lao scorpion the combo with the buzz saw into kameo is fire

[@NickyJ_58]

@@Jokage1314 yessir, it’s a super fun combination

[@2Hander]

I’m having a hard time getting the timing down on the standard bnb into hat throw scorpion assist any tips

[@NickyJ_58]

Try calling scorpion as soon as you finish the input for the hat toss

[@2Hander]

@@NickyJ_58 I can’t get the timing for the hat toss 😭

[@NickyJ_58]

@@2Hander ah I get you, yea it can be a little weird. I usually start the input for the hat toss after I press 2 from the 1 2 1 string. Thats what works for me tho. It may be more comfortable for you start the input later during the string

[@2Hander]

@@NickyJ_58 I’ll try that out, I think I have problems with having enough height on the 121

[@JC.IsCrazy]

Another day me being late to the show 😢

[@NickyJ_58]

[@MrBKFBeatz03]

@@NickyJ_58 aye you play Xbox?

[@Mxdy_]

Y do u use scorpion instead of Goro?

[@NickyJ_58]

Just cause Goros ugly and scorpion looks cool. That’s all

[@Mxdy_]

@@NickyJ_58 makes sense 😂

[@Mohaking_Og]

You don’t play kung lao jus because you don’t like how he looks? Lmao it’s a video game bro and goro is Laos best kameo. No hate good video though

[@aChentoid]

Forward 4 is unusable at high level? Its kinda the work thing in his kit, under tornado spin You could use it with a jump in 2, but it’s not even optimal. Looks cool tho

[@NickyJ_58]

Yea there's literally no point in using it. all the hits are high and the full string only leaves you plus 1. It can add a little more damage to combos but its so insignificant it's not even worth mentioning.
