Together with the Ermac reveal NetherRealm has finally shown off all The Kung Lao variations.So without further ado here are the different variations:
Tempest: Gain an Orbiting Hat Shield for offense and defense.
As a tempest Kung Lao’s knife on the border of his hat glows blue.
He can spin his hat around him as a defensive shield (kinda like Rose’s Soul satellite but horizontal), and can block projectiles but only if the hat is in front of him.
He can slighty change the direction of his hat up or down.
Kung Lao’s enhanced spin attack actually works like a vortex and pulls enemies towards him.
Buzz Saw: Gains multiple Hat Grinder special attacks.
It’s a bit hard to see but the Buzz saw variation of Kung Lao’s hat has jagged edges.
His hat toss is way slower which alow for defensive play or quick follow-ups.
He can also throw his hat up to catch jumping opponents and let his hat grind on the ground allowing for low/high mix-ups.
His enhanced hat toss can be stalled by holding the button and when you release his hat goes forward.
Hat Trick:Gains the ability to place Hat Traps that can be recalled.
The Hat Trick version can be recognised by his dragon emblem and crotch thing glowing bright blue.
You can set up the hat somewhere in the background in any direction and then call it back(kinda like Darkstalkers Donovan’s Killshread Plant) allowing for easy mix-ups unless you get hit in which case the hat just returns to you.
So use your hat to set up traps for your opponent.
And that’s it, next week I will go over the variations of Kitana and my favorite Reptile.
