He’s cooler than Liu kang
>>
>>12342239
Cool story, shitposting spamming sega system McGee.
>Stay REEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>
I know you really trying to hype ya boi.
But really.
The true argument here is simply that liu kang is just not cool.
>>
Kung Lao has no personality whatsoever until Shaolin Monks.
And the games haven't been kind to Kung Lao after the reboot either.
>>
I like his hat
That about sums it up
>>
>>12342239
Maybe on Planet Retard
>>
I always translated his grab move's shout as 'Stick it, don't lick it'
>>
>>12342550
By the other way around newfag.
>>
>>12342586
he doesn't say that shit
>>
>>12342239
Man, they really royally fucked up the lore and universe with MK1. They took everything everyone loved about the series, the lore, and just took a huge shit on it, and expected people not to be upset.
>>
>>12342239
Nope, Liu kang is simply cooler, which is why he came before kung lao, even had to have the inverse of his name because he comes 2nd.
>>
>>12342239
Low bar,
Baraka, Scorpion, Sub zero were all cooler than Liu Kang and that's just off the top of my head an accounting for the first 2 games.
>>
>>12343769
MK12's story was okay. the extended cast was better utilized and fleshed out as oppose to only existing as jobbers & mooks for the big bad like in 9, 10 & 11.

where it fucked up and jumped the shark was doing all the multiverse shit in the third act and later doubling down on it with khaos reigns.

the nu-timeline should've been a straight retelling of the 3D era with 12 being deadly alliance, 13 being deception and 14 being armageddon where they could do all the multiverse shit.
>>
>>12342239
They both suck. Shujinko was the chink protag done right. It helps he's also the biggedt retard in mk history.

>>12343940
The 3d era is too kino for those shit dc reject writers.
>>
>>12343940
Need to go back to OG first three games story. It was somewhat coherent.
>>
>>12342239
Kung Lao should have become the main character when Liu Kang died.
>>
>>12344137
He tried to beat the Deadly Alliance but failed horribly.
>>
>chinese guy with a razor brim hat is cooler than a generic chinese guy
>>
>>12344049
DA and deception had good stories but they never figured out how to resolve Onaga which is a genuine disappointment that they still sidestep to this day. Armageddon was when they gave up completely before the reboots
>>
>>12344379
>He comes back in armageddon with zero explanation
>Hotaru and havik NEVER interact in both
games once
>Dariouh and Darius were clearly meant to be one character
Much as I like the 3d era, those always bothered me.
>>
>>12344278
That's because he didn't have the power of protagonism. Would have been cool to see him and Raiden fight side by side against Shang and Quan Chi and become the new hero of the Shaolin.
>>
>>12342239
I rate MK characters on their creampieable levels. He gets a 6.5/10. Hed like it but be too proud to admit it. And I want him to liggyalickit
>>
I liked him in DA
>>
>>12342239
All he has is the hat gimmick but you're technically right since Liu Kang doesn't even have that.
>>
>>12344278
two against one, that was quite dumb of him.
>>
Liu Kang bicycle kick is more over than the entirety of this character.
>>
>>12342247
Yeah but he's got a knife hat
>>
>>12346092
doesn't stop Shao Kahn from raping his ass like a little bitch in every fucking game
>>
>>12344047
>>12344379
>>12344390
3D era MK are the star wars prequels of mortal kombat. they weren't really considered good until the generation of fans who grew up with those games got old enough to be vocal about them.

now we have people unironically asking about guys like taven, kai & hsu hao.
>>
>>12347346
you're really gonna diss my boi Deception like that
>>
>>12347346
>taven
I mean his mode is cool and important lore character.
Just needs a redesign.
>>
>>12347346
DA and Deception literally saved MK.
>>
>>12347804
Got nothing on the backswing

they ain't gonna do that shit for this fag in a hat
>>
>>12348401
This.
It was gangbusters.
>>
>>12342239
Yeah. Speed, Point Break, John Wick, Hardball, Bill and Ted, Johnny Mnemonic, the fucking Matrix. I like him, half of those movies would have been complete dogshit without him. Meanwhile Liu Kang is maybe top 5 coolest human character in his games.

>>12348401
TRVKE
