    The most natural looking ones are mk9 followed by mk x
    In mk9 he looks like he’s using the bodies for more momentum and the movement of the upper body is just the icing of the cake
    While mkx went back to the weird stiff movement, there actually seems to be momentum at play because liu kang starts to lose air and lower into the ground as the attack finishes, making it seem as if it’s a super long winded leap.
    MK1 is just perfection, nothing could top that

      don’t you see the way he slows down before the animation ends?

      @SimpleRikc I’m talking about IF we get a Liu Kang Cameo. Similarly to how we got Sub Zero (Kuai Liang) and Scorpion (Hanzo) as cameos which are radically different than Liu’s new timeline Sub Zero (Bi Han) and Scorpion (Kuai) playable characters. Another example would be Kung Lao kameo and Kung Lao the playable character. Both are Kung Laos but the Kung Lao kameo’s the classic/OG version whereas the playable one is the one forged by Liu Kang’s timeline meddling.

  • @nayr5483
    @nayr5483 Рік тому +19

    I can clearly see that the NRS actually decided to make Liu's bicycle kick to looks more realistic since MK9 onward
    MK9 bicycle kick travels too far, so they decided to nerf the air jump distance while keeping the "more realistic motion" of BK up to MK11
    And on MK1, they just decided to replace it with aerial spinning kicks, they probably went "who cares? Liu is a god now, we can make him looks badass, even make him fly higher as he kicks"
    And they proceed to nerf Raiden's electric fly with electric spear to make it more realistic (since he's no longer a god)

    I was so pissed that Liu got nerfed so hard in MK3. Liu Kang was almost unstoppable in MK 2. One of the best characters next to Scorpion, Baraka, and Kitana.
    He had speed, power, range, and his bicycle kick was slightly stronger than an uppercut. Liu's high kick could knock almost anyone out of the air, and hjs flying kick was wicked fast. Liu was the MK champ, and he proved it.
    In the hands of an expert (like me) Liu was deadly. Especially at the arcades.
    In MK3, all that was taken away. Oh, Liu had the speed, but lost all the power and range. That fireball was a joke. You might as well not even use the bicycle kick, and his flying kick was the only reliable weapon. Everyone got an upgrade but Liu, and that was bullshit.
    MK4 Liu was slightly better, but not by much.
    After that, things improved for mah boi. Until MK1. Fire God Liu is cool, but the game is shit.
    I just wish Boon would see these MK Mugen videos and take some cues from them. Look how they VASTLY improved on his MK designs. We need a 2d kollector's edition, STAT.
    Ok, rant over. I've wanted to say that for a long time.
