Men who scream like women: Liu Kang and Raiden Kombo Videos
By StarvingGamer 16 Comments
Wtf Liu Kang, I'd have to take him online to be sure but he seems like an absolute pressure monster. Two quick strings lead to over 1/3 life combos either starting in a low or ending in an overhead. And one combo is all it takes to take the opponent across 2/3 of the stage and into the corner. I've been avoiding corner combos in my previous videos to try and keep things simple, but with Liu Kang you really have to know when your opponent will and will not end in the corner because if you do the wrong ender, you will whiff. Wattah!
Raiden was far less interesting. He has no real way to combo off of a low or out of the air, so there wasn't much for me to explore. However, the timings of his best combos were so tight that this video actually took me the longest to complete.
Is it just me or does it seem like his Torpedo scream isn't as long as it used to be. I remember when I was a kid playing MK1 in the arcade that it sounded like "alibabakah" or something. We may know that a Ryu says "Tatsumaki Senpu Kyaku" when he does a Hurricane Kick but Raiden remains a mystery. As a character he seems a bit mehhh. No great speed, no great strength, limited options. Maybe Torpedo spam is king of laggy online play.
I know I've been extra prolific today but don't expect me to keep up this pace. It just happens that I stayed up waaay too late last night watching the GSL and Mondays are my day off. I'll probably throw up another one or two videos before the end of the week. Again if you haven't yet, take a peek at the Whiskey Media fighting game community channel and show us some love.
