genuinely curious what do you do when your going against omni man with kung lao and all they do is spam low hat and as omni man they hit high at the same time ? I block low but immediately get hit from a high from omni man. I block high and get hit with the hat. Just asking for help what do I do?

Honestly all the cameos that make unsafe stuff safe are kinda laming the game out. Once they nerf Kung Lao, Stryker will just take his place.

Tbh it sounds like an endless cycle at that point. Especially once there's more dlc cameos.

mf is infinite supply. You always have that hat throwing skill.

pick Kung Lao with kameo Kung Lao for double hats :D

I play Ashrah and Omni-Man and have always refused to pick Lao Kameo. It's just so cheap. Setups like Lao hat should not exist in fighting games; it's clearly unfair. What's worse is that the hat is plus and also regenerates so fast. Honestly, I like this game but Lao hat makes me not want to play since most KL run it. Also doubtful it will get nurfed since they already "nurfed" it, apparently. I think they should remove the ambush ability of the low hat, then it will still be good but no unblockable setups.

went against a different johnnycage/kunglao duo 5 times in a row in kl today, genuinely if you couldnt see their names you'd think it was all the same person given how identical they all play

Yeah, honestly this game should be removed from stores and be released when it's finished. Sony did that to Cyberpunk and even though the state of both games are comparable I don't mind having a single player game with issues but a competitive multiplayer game? This shouldn't be accepted.

Better to make characters and Kameos stronger, in order to balance out the Kung Lao spams; than to nerf everything, and then have other things inevitably crop up to become the "new Kung Lao", that itself is the "new Cyrax".

Nerfing stuff inherently makes a game more boring, because it serves to drag characters closer together; rather than set them apart form one another -- the very purpose of a fighting game that isn't Mr. Karate Fighter Man vs. Mr. Karate Fighter Man. Strengthening that which is comparatively weak, makes those erstwhile weak things attractive, which then promotes diversity in char. selection and play style. Even the damage nerfs to combos have been for the worse; as now damage output is even more homogenised across the roster (30~40% optimal), and any character who was opted previous opted for because of their damage potential, is now overlooked for whoever works best with Kung Lao... Boooooooooooooooooorinnnnnnnnnnnnnnng 😴

In the end, the Kameo system is bullshoot, and cannot be "fixed" as such. I'd wager 1,000 Vietnamese dong that most would play the game without Kameos, if they were to add a non-Kameo game mode... The gimmick really is that on-the-nose for most players; as was predicted before the game was even released.
