Scorpion 🗣🔥

[@Garrettsamuel98]

Underdawg that music that comes on at the end of your videos is absolutely Atrocious! I love your videos very much, but when I start hearing that ending music come on, I either have to exit right away or cut my ears off! Honeybee also has Atrocious music at the end of his videos...

[@renethomsen6636]

You forgot to mention he can combo off throw with Kung lao Also I hate him because every single player just walks back all day

[@KYB3X_nexus]

The main point of the EX air fireball is he falls down to the ground faster meaning less recovery

[@jaidora]

That sounds really good for the corner, like really good

[@IamAyOG]

I think it comes out faster too no?

[@bng_FGC]

also becomes a mid if low enough, not available for the reg version

The thing with LK is that despite a ton of safe strings, he also has a ton of flawless block gaps

Yeah but flawless block isn’t some simple thing to consistently pull off for the majority of people, especially online.

Chun-Li's 2nd Super Art in 3rd Strike isn't that good. Just parry it.

[@puchatektv]

Liu is a god now, so it makes sense

[@xavierochoa7937]

The reason why the amplified air fireballs do less damage is because it has a very fast recovery. Your opponent can punish the regular air fireballs, but when amplified it’s safe. The recovery is so fast you can still get up in your opponents face if they block it and can continue your pressure

[@deuxonyx]

god bless u❤

[@ReganADHD]

I was disappointed too about the Bicycle kick being changed, but you do see it in all its glory on LK's Fatal Blow. Dunno why the change, but satisfying to hear that when landing the Fatal Blow

[@albodadon7285]

the change is so good though and it looks cool as hell especially if ex

[@13TxAxK60]

I think it would be cool if they made his ex air fire balls a single hit but with decent damage and be able to combo after it like in MKX and instant air it low enough to hit a standing opponent. It'll pay some homage to his MKX version.

[@mrbigtip84]

What nether realm really fails to do is realize that like with subzero you can Nerf his damage but if the character has so many utility tools that getting a hit is almost guaranteed, it doesn’t matter. There’s some characters in this game with a plethora of utility smoke subzero Liu Kang, just to name a few and then there’s characters that have almost none were very situational utility abilities.

[@DropoutJerome]

Liu's ex fireball doesn't beat Kameo projectiles, which is annoying lol. Also you can just throw out the non-ex dragon kick projectile without Liu kicking afterwards, no idea how to do it but I've done it a couple of times without the kick and I wish I could figure out how to do it consistently. Also, i use the ex air fireball for fast recovery, he falls faster. I never use the dancing dragon other than as a wake-up, I use Kung as a Kameo, but I'm gunna be learning scorpion here soon, didn't know you could combo off the ex dancing dragon, being able to combo off a wake-up would be pretty good. Unsure if it'll be better than being able to combo off a grab though, maybe so because using the armored dancing dragon in gaps of opponent's strings then comboing off that ex dancing dragon... Yeah, scorpion may be the best Kameo for Liu.

[@BraxWind]

If oponent duck on non-ex dragoncick Liu won't fly. Scorpion alows you to do 42 combo for 2 cameo or cameo and the meter. Also it allows you to do combo fron ex dragondance on 22-26. But Kung Lao allow you to do combo from back throw on 22 and give you +3 hat.

[@shai310]

Lui can honestly work with any kameo imo. I think he's one of the few who can actually utilize Shujinko to great effect since he has zoning tools so you can charge Shujinko in the back and as seen in the video he also has tools to push the opponent back which also protects Shujinko. Stryker is another good one since he makes up for Lui Kang's lack of mix ups so you can trick your opponent very easily with Stryker.

[@TreehouseClubExoticz]

@@BraxWindI get 46% 1 kameo from scorpion I can upload combo if interested

[@geomanciie]

i was in a school tournament and i got defeated so hard by a liu kang. like i thought i had it in the bag cause my previous opponent got bodied so hard he rage quitted.

[@immortalls9689]

I knew early on liu would be one of my faves, he’s flashy, fun, has plenty of combo choices especially with Lao assist, but getting duck blocked all the time can be frustrating and his faster attacks are pretty stumpy so you take the bad with the good

[@jaidora]

Guess he wanted to show off what he picked up from MK 11. In all seriousness he’s fun and I like the flashy strings you can pull up, even his FB is an overhead so he can be even deadlier with that F14 into EX dragon breath. I only wish his dragon’s breath was a brutality because it’s the perfect animation for the classic dragon bite.

[@glassofwater281]

Liu Kang's been my boy since Armageddon (ironically I began at the end), imagine my surprise when I played MK9 and he was the protagonist, and MK1 where he became a god.

[@cleberoabatedor5389]

Literally me

[@shawziiz5031]

Damn you kinda late to the party. Liu Kang was the primary protagonist for the whole franchise. He started big, ass whooping all the main villain from the first MK until MK4. It was MKDA (the time when John Tobias left the team), Midway/NRS ruined Liu Kang's character until they redeem him back in MK11 (in MK9, he is just semi-redeem because his role in that game is a co-protagonist since the main protagonist goes to Raiden)

[@glassofwater281]

@@shawziiz5031 Yeah I was born just a year before Armageddon came out, it was the first one I got to play. Over the years I started learning more about the story and going back to play some of the classics

standing 1 is a great anti-air aswell if you think they’re going to empty jump or it catches alot of people jumping over you

I knew the second i started the game i was choosing LK and i realized he was a zoner but i love playing him cause it just feels good to juggle enemies every second

[@jamesanderson8177]

Also you can use his 12 string into low fireball with sector missile for the mixup & and king Lao from you back throw if you use his cameo when you get behind the opponent you can get a full combo

[@pineapple_sauce2222]

I loved Liu since MKX and im so happy with how he turned out in MK1

[@SagexReii]

forgot to mention that the last hit of eternal light has a flawless block gap

[@jamesanderson8177]

[@andrewcreel7]

U forgot to mention he’s also one of the characters that can combo after his back throw with kung Lao or motaro and gets an ez 20 percent combo off of it

So basically Liu Kang is the character TrueUnderdawg will play when Peacekeeper is added to the game.

[@MediaWindowsMaker]

Nice

[@loweyethan]

Hey underdawg how did you pin the moves? Ive been trying since the game came out, and i cant figure it out for some reason😅

[@DarkXSatan666]

Not surprised. This dude and scorpion have always been OP

[@BlazeJahaze]

Burning desire is a great combo extender in the corner with a kameo, i use sonya to keep it going and it does really easy but really high damage

[@BlazeJahaze]

I do two launchers then burning desire then use sonya

[@Burning_the_toast]

the revival arc of TUDG remember you from mkx days

[@StimJunkiesIrescass]

As a liu kang enjoyer, I have a question. Did they stop dragons tail from being input after holding back? I used to have a weird corner combo with that in mind but now no matter when or how i input dragons tail it doesn't want to come out after holding back. I havent played in a bit so idk whats happening

Liu Kang really took a wording that if you need to defeat someone, you need to think and act as one to the heart

The low fireball is like LK splashing water from a lake or something.

its too fun catching people with liu kangs Back 2, 3 launcher.....so satisfying catching people trying to hit u. i like to just repeat the same thing everytime i catch em with it lol..combo be like .b2,3.....b2,3.....333 flyingkick (about 40 percent) Or in the corner b2,3 b2,3 333 (amp fire) 333 (amp fire) 1 , flying kick (round 44 percent). the mans combos are devastating the damage is ridiculous

lui kangs bf3 can catch kameos and punish like if you have someone you think is gonna call frost for the freeze you can hit her even if they are ducking and blocking and the kick connects

[@DJ9905]

He my day 1 main and I haven’t changed

[@doncushilinie9558]

You can duck alot of liu strings cause they are highs down block if u not risky subzero cameo takes Away his zoning or motaro deflects them his forward 4 last hit can be flawless blocked the 1 overhead combo he has u can see it coming a mile away . I main liu/motaro trust me he's very beatable

[@mr.m4302]

9:00-Liu Kang just became a alternative version of Guile with a Spinning Bird Kick when turn God.

[@m0rdecai_13]

You also forgot to mention that his throw is combo-able with certain Kameos. He really has a little bit of everything, honestly, and he's definitely a top 5 imo.

[@5612.J]

can you best characters ending in mortal kombat

[@innocenceUnknown]

I playe d Kang tonight and though I ruined the guy, they showed me some wld stuff he can do. He can use Kung Lao to interrupt his throw and combo off it. I also looked at him in the lab as well and I honetsly think he is a very under appreciated character and I think we are gonna see more Kangs online soon BC of it

[@corywertz9268]

Yeah it's pretty trippy to see Kung Lao kidnap Liu Kang during his throw XD

Hello thereeeee, Liu Kang main here… the point of the enhanced air cosmic flames is that it actually makes the attack plus on block, and actually plus on perfect block so you can actually combo from your air cosmic flames. To see and example I just uploaded a light combo starting with that move with no kameo required

Whats a good mixup kameo for him? Scorpion does seem cool

[@hugoruda9049]

Stryker is ur guy

[@EliTheGleason]

​@hugoruda9049 ooooh good to know. I've been using sonya, which doesn't give mixups, but I like it. Best throw means you've got the basic mindgame (sorta makes up for no overheads), the charged projectile can seriously gum up the screen when combined with liu's projectiles, and finally the air attack is an excellent way to cover the air while you spam projectiles, forcing them to block

[@Shyannloll]

I mean I expect this dude to be overpowered he can literally summon a black hole and destroy timelines if he’s not overpowered what kind of titan is he lol

Im so happy bicycle kick isnt a special, shit was so goofy and the new one rules, but its fine even if you like it because he does it in the fatal blow! In fact, i think its the best version of it ever because hes doing it up into the air which makes it seem more plausible than ever before

Bruce Lee sendups tend to be joke characters so it's nice to see NRS put respect on the name, making the tribute character a literal kung fu god.

[@aguywhodoesmusicandmemes2069]

In before Liu Kang mains say "HES NOT OP HES LORE ACCURATE"

[@Meysamkm]

I think your video tonight its about new trailer omni man

[@pureloser2526]

People who think Liu Kang is OP cannot play this game at a remotely high level. Just duck, half the time they will try to grab then you get a full combo. If they don’t they miss that 6 frame high attack. Like just duck people and you win against him. The zoning is annoying but there are ways to beat it.

[@TheinvisibleTV19]

Even more so with kameos such as sub or motaro that can deflect/negate any kind o projectiles and for what I learned from the comments it's that those projectiles aren't as strong as the normal projectiles you could throw if you use ones from your kameos, so even more options like Sareena or even Cyrax, so... Yeah

[@ryenmoore4606]

I mean yeah you can duck but you're expecting a grab which can get you in a combo yourself cause you're not blocking or they can throw a special out. What you're suggesting would end up having a decent liu kang player thinking you don't know how to block.
