ignorance is runnin rampant in this thread. totally embarrassing.
When I first saw this post I thought there was a 'bieber' tacked on after justin. I was losing my shitAnyone see justin last night he kicked ass at the tournament with kung lao.
Remember back in those Umk3 days when people lost they were still having fun. Now its "BROKEN BROKEN" I am calling a Trollin`. If you think this spin is broke then I guess Scorpion's spear and Sub-Zero's Ice is broke to right? No it is just Kung Lao is an easy pick up character. Stop hating the player and the game on this one and just get good<---
i agree with you about kung lao being broken. pretty much noob, smoke, scorp, kung, and more are just waaay 2 powerful. even ed says it needs some balancing so all of you who say we are just whining, don't you feel stupid. the freakin creator even admitted it. its just the truth. you love it because your always winning with these unbalanced fighters. but for those of us who play other fighters in MK, we lose not because of a lack of skill, but because your spamming these moves where we can barely move. thats not skill, it's spamming. And YES i know you can uppercut a teleport and combo into it, but trying doing that online, yeah it doesnt always work because of the horrible netcode. this is something ed says he DID NOT WANT in MK. He hates spammers too. but it's there and he is going to fix it. so original poster, your not alone and dont listen to these people. they are using these fighters who are broken and just disconnect when they lose. the game has so much potential, but to pro fighters like myself and an MK veteran, you cant overlook the obvious. the game is Broken!!
i didnt even attend the tournament because of this. Theres no refunds either for pdp tourney i tried.. theres 30 bucks ill never get back. but its pointless to drive 3 hours to vegas when its all kung lao, noob or smoke. if i would have been there, i would have given ed a talkin too. but i know alot of you have already and im sure hes sick of it lol. Glad he's patching this soon. i love him again
After over a year of playing this game every single day I finally decided to make an account an make a post.
Kung Lao is the most over powered character in any fighting game I have ever seen.
Many of you have seen me in the XBOX 360 Live Ranked Match games as I am now Ranked #17 and only really play one character...
Shang Tsung...
After mastering the Shang Tsung fireball bounce combo it was something I could not put down and love playing with. I can generally pull off the 46% damage combo with only one bar. Training every day with fireball placement has allowed me to get better and picking characters up from the different spots on the floor.
But...Playing many Kung Lao's...from pros to noobs....one thing is apparent....The charcter is unbalanced and way over powered.
I was going to complain about it earlier after the first Vegas Tournament and seeing how Kung Lao played online but I figured since so many people were already complaining on forums that it was just so obvious that Kung Lao needs reworking to be fair....
Over a year and the character is still the same overpowered tournament winning bullcrap of a character who outdoes every other character you can select in the tournament. Amazing how the characters you have to unlock suck more then Kung Lao....
Not only can Kung Lao fight faster then any character using spin tactics....
He is loaded with teleports that continue into brutal combos letting him fully abuse anyone...from anywhere....
He also gets a special throw that no other character gets...
Shang Tsung has almost no zoning and has to literally walk up to his opponent to get a decent combo off unless he some how skillfully lifts them up off the ground with a fireball (So much harder and requires pin point accuracy compared to just teleporting right into the face of your opponent every time)....
Except that's not his best combo. those do less than 30%. and if you get hit by a spin(grounded) that was your bad call. IF you call it out and block, you get a full combo on him instead. A good kung lao doesn't just throw out spins or he'll get blown up.I see so many Kung Lao players repeating the same easy combos and spamming teleport/spin. Even noob can even do 1 1 1 1 special throw combo over and over after a spin and its so annoying and lame.
I remember watching footage of Ed Boon explain how cool Mortal Kombat was going to be and it really psyched me up....
He was talking about how a character comes out and he even forgot the name of Kung Lao he was so excited talking about the Shaloin.
He basically was explaining Kung Lao and how he is so awesome before the game was even released.
I didn't realize how much he really was sucking on Kung Lao's you know what.....
Seriously give some love to the other characters....
Seriously look at all the easy moves/combos kung lao has...
Teleport combos allowing him to always be right on top of you.
Spin is the fastest move in the game to always take priority
Laggy players just abuse this character to the fullest online and its so apparent that he is faster and more annoying then any character in the entire line up.
Look at the tournaments that MK has held and how Kung Lao rises all the way to the top every single time.
Doesn't this give a red flag to the developers that Kung Lao is overpowered?
Why do they choose to ignore how they completely failed by giving so much firepower to one character over all the rest.
Probably because the MK team plays Kung Lao too and sucks his balls for all the moves they game him.
Look at how poor they made Shang Tsung....he can't even morph into any character anymore....
He can't zone at all.....
His moves are all slow as hell.....
His soul steal is slow as hell and hardly works if you simply duck or are low kicking.
The soul steal fails so many times its really amazing how they let this happen.
Also sometimes if you try to jump into your opponent after a combo with Shang he will hit an invisible wall as you try to jump toward the other character and not be able to jump....
Seriously netherrealm do some testing with Shang and see what I'm talking about.
The fact that I'm #17 on the xbox live ranked with Shang Tsung has gotten me a lot of praise from players saying I'm one of the best Shang Tsungs.....
I also get a lot of salty players telling me I'm spamming because I use my 46% combo twice in a match...
They think that means spam...
Spam is when Noob Saibot throws his projectile ninjas at you over and over....
Not skillfully completing a 46% 1 bar combo twice in a row because you practice every day.
But after playing for over a year, watching the tournaments, and learning about hitboxes and the overpoweredness they can add to characters like Kung Lao/Milleena/Kabal.....I now understand how these players are accomplishing such non-sense non-punishable moves in the online play....
I really hope injustice doesn't have one character that is as overpowered as Kung Lao...it really takes away from the fun of the game and getting people to choose different characters....
Ed Boon..you've built an army of noobs who only pick Kung Lao and talk so much crap online after they have taken advantage of the OP crap you allow to go on in this awesome tournament of a game.
For instance there is this guy who now calls him self "For the Shaolin"...hes clearly from Germany or some foreign country because hes laggy as hell and just abuses kung lao teleport over and over making it almost impossible to catch him and punish...
He's #1 on xbox live seriously? 23,793 wins and only 3,736 losses and kung lao is not overpowered???? really???
Most of the time these days I just quit the game when I see the player has 10,000 wins and like 500 losses and they are choosing kung lao every fight...
It's like...come on....Netherrealm wake the hell up and take your heads out of the DC world and concentrate on balancing out the MK tournament a bit...
Kung Lao doesn't deserve to rape the tournament for eternity...
This game should have some more balancing that makes it a more fun tournament where your not sure which character will win...
If you talk crap and you play Kung Lao you are nothing more then a scrub copy cat who likes to exploit the latest and greatest fail.
I enjoy playing people who change their character up or play lower tier characters and can show off amazing combos...
Not overpowered characters who have the advantage on every move...
OBEYURMASTER
If I were you, I'd worry more about Kabal
