Mortal Kombat 1 Liu Kang Guide {Combos, Strings & Tips} 

Xombat 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥(pin this)

Liu has so many staggers and plus frames I swear it will feel like he always has a turn. Then add throws, fireballs, and godly movement.

Thank you so much! I think your character breakdowns are the best!

What an amazing and complete video! with button on screen! Big thx to you men

THE type of Liu Kang guide I was looking for! Subbed and excited for future guides 💪🏽

This is by far the best character guide I have ever seen. Your Lao guide is money also

Everybody needed a good Liu guide. Thanks bro 🙏 much love from aus

much love for this guide bro! i remember asking for this during your stream 🐐

Johnny, Raiden and Liu Kang all my mains covered!! Thank you!🤘👍

Man you're good and u got my main covered. Thanks a tonne brother 👌🏼

"we had 3k subs like 3 days ago, and now we're like 4.2 or something, things are going crazy, we're about to hit 5k soon" ... and now we're at 12.5K subs :D keep up the good work man! and remember that the sub count has almost tripled in 3 months! :)

great video, thank you so much for taking the time to do this.

Soon as I was lookin for a tutorial this got uploaded😭👏🏾

Hello, fellow liu kang main here. Think another liu kombo i find very fun and easy to use is B23, J 134, bf1. That does exactly 30% without spending bar and kameo meter. Reason why u love to spam this combo is because the distance you get from the combo is insane. Liu kang flourishes from fullscreen so after both you and ur opponent land, you can just spam projectiles. Repeat 3 times in the match and you win. Im not even kidding. Other than that, i found this video helpful :D

Sick bro. Appreciate you!

I was looking for a guide and I couldn’t be happier this is the one I’m finding

sat down and learned lui kang thanks

Thanks for the video. Big help for me!

Thank you for this Guide 🎉

You still got the best guides brother

Thank you for the help! Much appreciated

Best guides hands down let’s go

Sonya is pretty underrated for liu imo. Back r1 gives a free side switch launcher and is guarunteed confirmed off f43. The normal r1 air extends and will give an easy 35% from whiff punishing a high with a 7f uppercut. If you catch them in the corner with b23 you'll get 40٪+ meterless. But dont get me wrong kung lao is goated for liu fr

The beginning 🔥🔥🔥

Great guide man 👍

What a great guide 👍

nice guide kung lao kameo definitely feels like it's being slept on for the general cast, low hat is crazy safe and the kameo bar regenerates extremely fast after using it

With Motaro teleport, you can actually get 40% meterless on his standing projectile. I imagine kung lao is similar since he has an ambush teleport as well

great guide, ty!

Yo Xombat luv the videos gang!! iSee u coming up broski keep up the good work nokap!

Much needed. Great guide fasho.

They did the clash thing in MKX with Tanya Pyro and Sub Zero Ex projectiles.

Thank you.

Everything was good with this video, only thing i wish you couldve shown were air combos but everything else helped out a lot

Glad I finally watched this. Switched from Sub and I throw back 2s all the time. Also have a hard time opening people up with him. Thanks dad

Xombat the Xombie!!

Thx a lot!! I hope in a scorpion guide now:)

29:00 combos start

Super nice video it really helps to understand things ,also would you make a guide like this for kung lao iam a little bit disapointed with him as he lacks few iconic tools but what do you think about him,and lastly it it just me or is comboing into fatal blow way harder it seems like a need to cut the combo short to be able to hit it

Great guide. I just wish Liu had a tad more range. Really miss his B34 from MK11 which would give him a low starter, add range, and combo off teleport all at once. Would also like to see them give him like an air bounce or something flashy in the air. For all the hype air combat got leading to launch, there’s only a few characters that can cook in the air. Too many empty air strings if you’re just gonna do 134 into air fireball 🤷🏼‍♂️

Broo i feel like ive stumbled upon a goldmine this is some good guides. You planning to do any guides for the rest of the cast?

Awesome explanation! What controller are you using by the way? I‘m thinking about switching to leverless. Any thoughts?

I once knew a kid in high school named Louie kang. Cool guy

Regarding fireball clashing, they actually have had it before. In Injustice 2 if you meter burned Sub-Zero projectile, it would eat the opponents projectile and freeze them if it landed

Do havik next , I feel like u doing all the main characters we’ve seen but havik would be a good start to characters we haven’t seen in awhile

Thanks my man for showing a Liu corner fata blow combo, I've tried many variations and they all end up whiffing haha

Am I the only who avoid Liu Kang just because doing dash into B2 does not feel good, and its the core of all his combos? Great guide tho! Keep up with the Kontent! I can really see you becoming one of the greatest MK1 youtubers!

Great video! Please do a Raiden guide would love to learn him !

Lui kang looks like an interesting character to pick up🔥🔥🔥 God bless y'all God loves y'all ❤ Verse of the day Mark 8: 34 - 38

Motaro is good too. Reflect and motaro let you combo off the throw

Can anyone give any tips on the 12 bf3ex dash b23 combo sequence? It seems near impossible.

Will you ever make more Johnny guides in the future? Looking to learn more about how to play neutral and open up the opponent when im plus. I feel like i just spam f1 and try to read a crouch jab or neutral duck to land the f3.

Xombat do you plan on doinbg a coaching stream for mk1 ? Would love to see or participate

Nice guide. Mileena or scorpion next? Would like to know a good kameo with them

Can u make a Nitara guide? I want to main her but I'd like to learn her optimal stuff

I’m having trouble doing 1,2 into enhanced dragon kick routes online I get them consistently in training mode. Should I have my input window on short long or medium ? I also put input lag for training mode and I still get the combos down easily it’s just online matches

Write that down ✍️

I’m struggling to continue combo with ex dragon kick, simply have no time enough to make next move (dash and 333 or b2). Can you give me some tips that may help?

Thanks xombat for this will there also be a kung lao later down the line?

for someone reason i can’t follow up with the special move and im doing the right inputs thoughts?

tbh I really don't see liu staying in this broken state for long. He has soo many good stuff that it is insane. Pairing him with lao kameo just takes it overboard

hey , I have found out something very frustrating this evening that maybe you can help me with, I have only 41h on MK1, I wish so much to main Liu Kang and this evening I am so frustrated, so 1. I don't understand how am I not converting a F43 full hit, I hit them with F43 and then when I try to start the B23 B23 333 combo they just simply block it, my first hit, so I can't even start it, and 2. what is the timing on the grab and kung lao teleport I need to hit, maybe you can tell me when in the animation I need to hit teleport because the same they just get up in time, and block.

Hi Xombat, can you do ashrah guide next? 🥺

I love how you explained everything except the minus 45, add 2, plus 6, divide by 9 🤣 that shit lost me but watching you combo def makes me wanna recreate 💯🔥 I’m new to fighting games kinda, so maybe theirs other like me who don’t understand either, but I just felt like it was pokemon for a second with priority and this move out speed others so you wanna equip quick attack and quick silver sash on Liu Kang is all I picked up on 😭😭🤣

You need to blur out the fatal blow Xombat!

What stage is this? I've never seen it before? And I've had the game day 1....

Great guide dude. Sidenote, as the game gets explored I have been seeing a lot of different things with kameos. I have started seeing Johnny use lao for the hat a lot. What do you think of this? The low hat itself is so strong, it is so quick and plus 2. If you hold the hat timing wise you can do stuff like something super unsafe like shadow kick into hat. Any string into hat. 21 is amazing into hat because of 212 or 213 hat etc. I know cyrax is all the rage but the Lao hat is unreal good and I think liu, Lao himself, Lao as kameo for Johnny, all being slept on I am just amazed at how quick lao hat kameo comes back. It feels like a legit true projectile not just some kameo help

How to unlock Hanging Garden night Variant...? Please someone tell me...

Need a proper Fatal Blow combo for neutral though and one for the wall that doesnt cost as much EX... everything whiffs :(

Needed this. I get washed by Liu.

Can someone plz help... I m a complete beginner in this game... In my combo bf3 just dont work... Combo is b23 b23 333 bf3

Can you do scorpion next?

Does liu kang have a get up ability to get people off of you?

Fuego Guido

leave the notations in the description for combos

"Ahuuuuhmmm"

U turn up my gameplay cuz I’m very good mk player but never knew how all the frames work I just worked off trial n error so for u to crank out the details of the character gives me a easy speed coarse

I can’t be the only one that can’t change this stage from day to night online?? It has to be a glitch This is one of the best stages in the game 🔥

Great guide keep them coming! I came here so I know how to counter him online 😏

Kung lao is his best kameo no competition

Comment section how do you get that stage?!

Reptile guide

Bro how do i get good at dashing !? 😢

What guide u doin next???

''Im pretty sure he nots playing him, i dont know'' Lost some brain cell

How does Stryker help? I run Kung Lao

I think im just bad at the game, cause i cant do any of this, meanwhile i can make combos for raiden like its no issue

Does any one have tips on 333 into dragon tails idk y its so hard for me lol

I was about to say « this video would have been so much better if the basics had been covered first « then i rea « advanced « in the title 😢

Time stamps

“Lui the best character in the game” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bros a professional yapper how bout u cut ur guide times in half
