I have no quarrel with you. I will tear your flesh. I now have a quarrel with you. Yes, sir. Kung Lao, descendant of the Great Kung Lao of Old, this Shalyn warrior trained to be one of Earthrealms' most skilled defenders. He would approve himself and to restore honor to his family. Kung Lao enforces the Iron Fist of the Shalyn across three variations. You face the Shalyn warrior. In the Tempest variation, Kung Lao exhibits a high pressure playstyle with new special attacks. Hat Spin, Downback X, is a great combo extender that can be enhanced to lock down opponents. His special attack Cyclone, Downward X plus right trigger, is a quick armored special that engulfs his opponents in a whirlwind, allowing Kung Lao to follow up for a combo. A simple metaphor, Shalyn. In a Hat Trek variation, Kung Lao can place his hat on the battlefield that can be recalled to pressure opponents. Because the long startup of Hat Trap, use it after a hard knockdown. On Hit, choose between another knockdown trap or go for a spin and cash out the damage. Hat Arain, Back Forward Y plus right trigger, is a reliable way to combo and carry your opponent to the corner. Be mindful that your special attacks in this variation are very unsafe. You have found your demise. In the Buzzsaw variation, Kung Lao gains new slow moving hat projectiles. Enhanced, how-related special moves, like Buzzsaw, Back Forward Y plus right trigger, can be held in order to pressure your opponent on wake up, or create mix-ups and apply offensive pressure. EX Spin, Downward X plus right trigger, is a fast multi-hitting attack that can crush your opponent's armor. Kung Lao relies on solid pressure to force mistakes from his opponents. Graceful Cat, Forward YA, is an excellent low opener that can be canceled into a special. Use Chain Fist, another safe combo string, to keep up the famous Shalyn pressure. Forward is not always the best direction. Mix up teleports to keep your opponent guessing. Die kicks are a powerful tool to extend combos, and keep the momentum in your favor. Perfect your legend with this X-ray combo. And unleash Shalyn Fury with a brutality. Re-touch. Learn from this. Kung Lao wins. Enjoy the dive, kick and hat thrown, Shalyn, Kung Lao, and tune into the ESL Mortal Kombat X Pro League, presented by Xbox.
