Liu Kang combo, Overpowered or just spammy?

So I recently had been playing many liukangs that have always used a particular combo.

It is a punch-punch-kick that sets up a juggle but they continue the same move at LEAST 3 times UNLESS they combo toward you to the wall which it seems they can extend more.

A combo-breaker saves you but as long as he can get a single hit on you then you are screwed, you'd have to play like you were trying to flawless victory them everytime you fight a liukang. I won a couple, but definitely not as much as i have lost to these.

I dont know whether to believe it is overpowered or spammy. Because unlike other combos, the third combo hit does not send the character across the stage to give some breathing room, it just slowly bounces less the person that is hit which is still enough to finish the combo.

Like Mileena overhead kick, i can do it twice but the third time instead of bouncing the character it sends them sliding at the end of stage of scorpions spear which will drag a person instead so they cannot be spammed with it if used more than once.

I may be just frustrated with it, so I'd like to hear your judgement on it. I just miss getting bicycled kicked in the face every once and a while, vary it some!


What do you guys think, any useful counters or thoughts considering this combo that is solely used the entire match?

All of his combos are blockable from the start, his mix-up game is phenomenal though. Liu Kang, in my personal opinion, doesn't have huge damage inputs so I'll say it's just spammy and a nuisance. Good luck though.

That's nothing. I played this kid yesterday who has a 25 hit combo mastered for Kitana. 25 HITS!!!. 68% damage...Same thing to, if he lands one hit on you you're screwed, match over. He'd just spam that combo lol, and I didn't even know what the hell he was doing, and I thought I was good at Kitana wow

I too like to mix it up.

And the Liu combo in question here is his BP, FP, FK combo (or 2, 1, 3, for those of you who like that notation). It really can't be strung together that effectively unless you find yourself with your opponent against the wall, so against Liu Kang, stay out of the corners. You can actually land his X-Ray, do this combo three times to continue the juggle, and then end with an uppercut for 47% damage. It's a nice combo to have in your repertoire because it's very easy to do and can work in a pinch.

Spammers "If I spam then why can't you beat me?" It's honestly, for me, to beat someone who sucks at the game. It's weird, but when they spam the same move and do the same 3 hit combo it's hard for me to get away. I've fucked some people up, just when people spam, not even a good spam, it's hard to beat them. Like Raiden's downkick juggle to the superman.

The second fight I ever had online was against a Kung Lao player that did 82% damage against me in the corner. 82%.

Holy crap.

Thankfully, I haven't seen anything NEAR that extreme since.

Can anyone spell out these mythical super combos that everyone seems to be talking about?

My 16-hit combo with X-Ray comes to only 42%.

Standard combo 12 hits only comes to 30%. sad

Dealing with Kitana I could break away from the combo I've noticed, Mr.Kang on the other hand, gets annoying but mad props for someone who can do it lol.

I will have to agree that the Liu Kang combo juggle can go on way too long. If it is started you end up in the corner and then goes on even longer. There is a ranked player that does it over and over and he never once used xray move. It seems impossible to block, but Johnny Cage has one also. Havent seen any of the ninjas with that ability. So you gotta learn to block and stay away from them or its over quick. Its one thing to link a couple combos with a juggle but that Liu Kang one is sick !
