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
@NickyJ_58 Жыл бұрын
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

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

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.

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

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

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.
