LOL no that's not what this is about. How big is his hit box for that damn spin? It gets me everytime I'm not even touching the blue whirly sh*t. Sometimes I'm a little further than grabbing range an it still catches me. Just curious if anybody know.
 
It sucks, his hat is on his head, but he hits you no matter where you hit him :?

Why isn't Baraka's spin like this :mad:
 
Good point with the Baraka spin. Kung Lao is just annoying, from his Spin to his jump back Air Kick.
 
It has stupid range you have to be completely out of grab range. block it and dash in to punish it. But it's a bit werid on the dash but doable. I see you like to troll other characters. But it's a known fact how crazy good Kung Loa is.
 
I used to play with Kung Lao until I realized how easy this was. It's not even a challenge. And it's faster than most moves so you can counter quickly with it. Rocked playing OL until I saw how it felt for the other side when I played this kid that kept spamming it. Honestly, NRS needs to either get rid of this or even out Baraka's spin.
 
If you are near the spin, block it, and put a projectile close, Kung Lao still can hit you, if , for example, the projectile animation is inside the spin range ?

No not really a troll. I don't like them and I noticed things playing today. Sheeva does have a big hitbox and I'm not even anywhere NEAR him and it hits me. Seems a little weird.

it also cancels projectiles it won't knock them back but if ur mid spin it will not hit him it happened to me with kano's knife's.

and if ur in the corner he can low kick in to the spin and even if u block it 'it' will hit u. and as u try to get up it hits u and even if u wait on the ground it hits u.

im not making any of this up it's happened to me both online and offline in training so idk what u guys think.

fair or unfair

it happened to me thats how i lost he just kept doing it i couldn't even throw choke or down ball or kinfe throw i could block but the chip damage was just to much to come back from.

it was online so it could have been the lag but even the lag would have had it hit him?

right?

i wish i could show u guys what i'm saying cuse it's easier to show then to tell.

LOL.. I got to laugh because I know what your talking about. However what is most likely happening is your wiffing a normal as he is doing the spin and he is hitting your pinking due to you being to spammy. I assure you a bit more safer. play his spin hits your block and he eats a combo. try dash blocking when going in. The range is insane. Do I think it needs to be toned down. yes am I going to cry if it doesn't no I am just going to play better. try experimenting with a friend in practice mode it helps. or put the computer on hard in practice mode it tends to get spammy and goes for it alot.
 
I actually kinda feel bad for Kung lao, even his own players dont try to defend him anymore, they know they can never win the argument





nah just ****ing around, I hate king lao's guts
 
I think they should atleast makes us able to sweep him out of it, His spinning shoes hitting my leg is NOT going to send me back 5 metres. Make sweep work VS the spin and all the Kung Lao spin lovers will think twice in future. The recovery time on block is still a ***** especially online.

All I ask for is to be able to sweep him!
 
The hit box for spin is all over KL (from head to toe and both sides). Moves don't trade and you can't hit him with anything apart from certain projectiles either, which makes spin the single most brain dead move in the entire game. Apart from enhanced spin that is.

If you could sweep him at least, it wouldn't be so bad. As is, you can't really punish a whiffed spin (you have to block it and then go for a punish) - very annoying. Especially considering just how much of the screen KL actually has control over outside of that move.

I can agree, a sweep or atleast a low poke would be nice. I never understood why his shoes would launch me in the air, but then again I dont know where Kabals buzzsaw comes from.

Now that I think of it, is there another move in the game that you absolutely have to block? I believe everyone else can be hit out of a normal special, ducked (no block), or jump over it.

Another question, would he be as good without the spin? Its the one move that you have to constantly be afraid of, without it I doubt KL would be a strong player.

I use Kung quite a bit and I agree with most of this, it really needs toned down, Baraka's behaving the same would be a bonus also (I don't use him). Also, I love how Kung Lao's hat spin > Jax or Kano's grab X-Ray :)
