Li mei, Liu kang, Kung lao were purposely designed with the best unpunishable wakeups. I think they were giving this advantage to the martial art heavy chars. Even Raidens lightning superman wakeup is not in their league.

It's seems pretty random that Kung Lao can get combos from safe armor but at the same time it is the only thing he has going for him. Without it he would be trash tier. They probably need to rework him.

Li Mei wakeup is punishable, Liu Kang's too but its pretty hard. But yeah, Lao wakeup is just stupid. Theres 0 risk and 0 point to not spam it every time.

With Goro and 30 minutes of practice you can easily get 30% damage from his wakeup. Its not hard at all.

Never said it was hard. And you can get combos off of it easy with way more cameos than just Goro.

Li Mei And Liu Kang are Actually the few that got the easiest punishable wake ups....if u block kung lao wake, just stay blocking or try to poke. the only 2 options to punish lao wake up - 1 mind game him then distance so you can punish it or 2 - jump it, but that won't work if u jump it wrong vs goro soooo nrs need to nerf this nonsense. if u block any armored wake up, it should be punishable, point blank period.

why did you make the assumption that it wasn't punishable ? Lao's wake up doesn't need a nerf you can stop him from waking up and make him waste bar for even trying if you meaty on knockdown. He can't even wake up on you its a gimmick.

We're not talking about stopping his wake up, it's about punishing it on block. i think people know you can stop it before his armored kicks in or breaking it if using baraka that's easy, but can you punish it on block though ? no
