    Welp. On one friend it was about 50/50 after the staggers after/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/u.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif. The other would block it and rock me each time haha. I must say though. If the whole thing connects, it's a grip of damage. So it's worth tossing out occasionally, especially if you have life to risk. Otherwise, it's not the safest.

    Your fastest move (with good damage potential) after /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/u.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif connects is /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif (w//forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif follow-up). If your opponent can struggle out of that, give him /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif or /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif to punish him. If he is very quick as a struggler and can struggle out of it and hit /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif to stop throw and duck under /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, hit him with /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/uf.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif or another /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/u.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif (maybe the funniest option).

    Yeah, those are the ones I've been using. Though, against the wall I really like /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, then maybe go into tiger stance depending on how they got hit, or just continue wall pressure with more /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, or /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+ /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif, maybe a full spinning if I predict a sidestep. Lau's wall game seems fairly easy for how devistating it can be.

    DissMaster - I will try more of the /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif stuff. I really should use that a lot more but for some reason I 'learned' my Lau with non of the craziness. I am only now getting the hang of /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/u.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif and /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/uf.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif and when to really use them for massive slammage.

    Is it just me or does Lau just not get as much play as some of the other characters.

    KrsJin - Dude - I'd love to play your Lau - maybe you can teach me some stuff man!

    I started playing him in VF3. I liked his look and I loved doing /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/uf.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif. There were other games with air juggles, but the superior VF physics made them a lot more satisfying to execute.

    I think that people use him less because he is so straight forward with his moves and he has been in the game so long without undergoing crazy changes. Most people have seen his moves and he really is one of the least deceptive characters; when fighting against Lau you are less likely to be confused about when you have frame advantage or whether a move hits high or mid. He has no combos that hit low at weird times or anything. They have actually given him more moves with wacky properties recently, but still...

    I think Lau gots mad flavor. That's why I have his face tatooed on my ass.
