I’m glad you made this vid. A lot of people should learn this and enjoy Liu Kang as much as you do.

My 🐐 for the franchise

Man being a liu lang main since mk10 find your channel and seeing your tips and how you play with liu has def helped me out fam.

Ive watched a few of your vids This is the one that earned the sub... Excellent video..this was by far one fo the simplest character guides to digest...as one who aspires to main Lui, this was extremely helpful.

Another Liu Kang Kameo that is great for him is Scorpion. It gives you an overhead that will catch out people who duck or block low, and he gives you great combo damage once you learn the combos and timing of Scorpions fire breath to extend them. The armored spear that pulls you bacj to zoning range is a good extra tool to switch up your playstyle and stay relatively safe as well. His best Kameos are Kung Lao(safety, throw loops, decent combos), Scorpion (overhead mix, good combos), Sereena (safety, good combos), Cyrax (safety, chip, good combos), and Sub Zero (if playing against a high zoning/projectile character for the ice armor)

thank you for this! i just clicked on the video but i already know it will be loaded with gems and knowledge. Im a kang player who watched your vids and studies so im so hyped for this! thank you!

Yes sirrrr!!!!! we here for this one 💯💯

fantastic guide

Great vid! I need to hire this guy as my MK1 personal trainer lol

YESSIRRR been waiting for this

Great video and presentation, I'm a fan now.

Best guide I've seen

Liu Kang is my main, he’s easy to learn but hard to win with it, if that make sense. He has no overhead so you can just defend low, and it seems like you can’t punish anything, especially with certain charters who’s safe on everything

I told you we was gone get em right I love using him now i found my style with him kung lao fits me perfect Great Vid💯🔥🔥

thank you for this

Thanks bro!

really helpful

I love your stuff, you are very good at teaching overall gameplan. I have one request, or thought for improvement. Its likely that this issure is mine because i am a really new player, but you use a lot of "game speech" when talking about your combo strings, and it can be hard fore me to keep up with b/c i need to decode what inputs you are talking about before i can process your point or lesson. It would be helpful if you would put the combo notations somewhere on the screen, so that the new folks you are teaching have an easier time keeping up.

perfect explanation! you shoud be teacher or coach💪

Been picking up liu he’s pretty good

My boi dropping bangerssss!!!!🔥🔥

Perfect timing. Cause I’m starting to see more Kangs online

I been watching you and basically my gameplay of you but when I pick a kameo I always go to kung lao idk I just been winning with him more but man you are amazing

Nah cause I just gotta say thank you for knowing how to actually explain the game and the character. I havent played MK seriouslly since like MK 9 so this helps ah lot, good looking!

I watch alot of fighting game content and guides. This has got to me up there with my faves I've watched - straight to the point, clearly explained and easy to understand. Love it , got a sub here mate.

It’s crazy how a lot of these tips apply to my main Tanya as well. She has absolutely no mix and I’m trying to find the perfect assist.

i wouldn’t be surprised if one of these highs get turned to a mid in a future patch, imagine if they gave us the dragon parry for the mind games

Being a hardcore MKX liu main, i just wish they do our boy justice and bring his parry back at least, liu feels boring already.

Deff gonna use this for my counter play strategy lmao

So they just nerfed Liu Kang, the FIRE GOD HIMSELF? The God that made the entire NEW ERA in the new game? The one we saw in the trailer saying “You have chose to defy peace, THEN YOU’VE CHOSEN WAR WITH A GOD” with such an epic voice and glowing eyes? The one that literally WON AGAINST BOTH KRONIKA AND TIME KEEPER SHANG TSUNG in the last game? They literally just NERFED this character like that? What a way to waste his full potentials, ngl. I was actually looking forward to a broken Liu Kang in this game, but even Johnny Cage or Mileena kinda like steal his spotlight in terms of skills and playability. Too bad.

Hey man, how did you get your full video on the short if that makes sense?

I miss my mk11 command grab it was so good🥲

🔥

I’m a liu main too me I hope they change that standing 2 is a high they turn that starter to a mid his stagger game will be great same for his standing 1 they chnage that to a mid he will up there his stagger are great but using f4 is really Annoying since it’s the only nice one b2 is good too if you can shimmy them and bait them. He’s easy to pick up but hard to win with I’ve come to figure out striker motaro and Lao are good to use with him

I love Liu Kang the conqueror💯

i would like to see General shao. I do have trouble with poking and some pressure.

I love using DB4 it’s good for Anti air since it’s Invul

You ever thought abt joining tournaments? I would love to see you in a tournament

I see a lot of changes coming if NRS really wants this game to be all about variety. It ain’t just Liu, either, now that I’ve been playing more. Most strings on alot of characters are practically useless. I don’t think that was their intention. Also think (almost) every character should have extendable air routes since this was such a big returning feature. Only a handful of characters can extend from the air. Wouldn’t be surprised to see one of Liu’s air strings bounce an opponent. Lastly - there is no way that 5 high starters was intentional. I see standing 3 becoming a mid, and I also see his 12 string getting more range. He’s the stubbiest character on the roster by far.

liu kang is very strong in mk1 for sure

i just use Kung Lao with Liu Kang usually finish combos with back kameo for a hard to block mixup pretty mcuh a 50/50 online so in turn i end up getting 60-70% if it works if not they end up facing pressure to an eventual grab for 22% 😂

I’m new here what is the number system he talking bout cause I’m lost

At least you stuck with Liu Kang. Ninjakilla doesn't rate him in this game 😂 but I know he'll eventually figure out new combos. Its just Liu doesn't have a lot of 50 50s

I would give everything I have, to Go back to MKX Liu Kang, the fun and potential was limitless, why couldn't they stick to that somewhat?

Does sareenas kameo mid flip kick call in fill in the gap?

What’s this theme?

Besides db4 what other anti air options would work best

Mortal kombat brothers

Cancel dash into F4 or F1

I Think Your Liu Kang Should Go Against Ninjakiller Lui Kang

So where do you think liu kang is at on a tier list ? I just think he’s bland compare to all the other characters with 50/50s and hella overheads

Would like you to rub fades with ninja killa 212

I don’t understand shit except that this mf knows his shit like for real real staggers strings f 4 3 mixed i need a mk for dummies tutorial brother lol

You miss the best thing about liu S1 IS 6 fram no one has this

Yeah i hate onlike mode his so toxic i can't rank and i ragequit on switch

No use for air fireball the fuq are you talking about you can iafb that

Idk what the F**K my problem is but I just can’t play Lui Kang. I’ve never had this problem in mk. I just can’t do it.

Bro you need to play a real player cause you probably getting washed especially if you say his air fireball is useless

What monitor do you play on?

Liu kang entirely relies on stagger pressure Kinda boring lol I mean u pay 100 dollars just to press the same buttons until ur oppononent finally lets go of block coz he got bored too
