Lau unpopular?

I wish I knew who that Eileen was but I do feel for that Lau. That one guy said it best in the comments for the video...

"dammit lau"

hehehe

insane costume
ok it says version b vf5 where i got this vid. So is that hat available on ps3? The hat + the mask makes him look like a demon if i can get it is it a tournament item, an orb disk item or a rank item ?

 

I sure hope you find a creative way of playing with him. Quite frankly, I've seen enough 2-string, double-dutch Laus online. It would be refreshing to see someone actually use his movelist.

 

All of the Lau players I encounter online just spam his /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.

I end up performing a pedigree on all of them.

I had a look through his dojo mode and he has quite a few options that I rarely see being used online.

 

using Lau as something else than a gimmick characters isn't that easy tough. IMO you need to have a really strong sense of whats coming. All of his staple moves are very situation specific. Like his 8+K and his6+P+K. All the tiger stance entrys must be entered at the right time and you must carefully plan what move you will use depending on the conditions you entered the stance.

All this to say that Lau is the kind of character that in order to be efficient you must understand the system of Vf really well. His moves are very situational and you need to use a predictable move list in an unpredictable way. But when used in that way Lau is an incredible powerhouse delivering insane pressure on the opponents.

At least thats the way i play him. i think of my match as a series of minigame that i have to play. or a quiz with a lot of different questions that needs a right solution. Starting to get crazy now. LOOOSIIINNG MY MIND!!! DAMN YOU VIRTUA :S

 

I think a friend of mine summed it up for me.

"He's not Pai."

Apparently because people would much rather play her since she has boobs and she isn't old, yadda yadda.

Yet he's a Lau player. xD

 

/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif I picked up Lau partially 'cause I figured he's unpopular. It's paying off.. lol 1PP2P "wtf, that stuns me?!" mash 3PPP2K

 

I agree totally. Once I see /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif come out I just duck. Then either you duck under /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif you block /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif low and /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif doesn't seem to do much damage so I'm willing to eat it. Him and Pai's favorite cheap move is definitley /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif. The little low poke into the high circular kick. I feel like most Lau and Pai players start the round off with that move. It combos on counter when you try to attack high right from the start of the round. I like to duck and /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif against Lau, seems to open him up for a lot of counters...

 

I love you sometimes...

But only sometimes. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

 

/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif sucks like hell Dont abuse this move and hit check it cause if you do the whole string without the first hit being a counter, you will get hurt badly. Especially if your Pai since she floats like a feather in a breeze of wind.

All of those gimmick moves that seem to be efficient online are newbie traps that once youll get to the real competition you will have a lot of difficulty not to use them. Lau and Pai have a lot of newbie traps like that but dont fall for it cause against experienced players you will get pawned for doing these moves

P.S. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif doesn't suck like hell but spammimg it does /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

 

I know it's not exactly a note about Lau's popularity but Krsjin seems to have the NUMBER 2 command list time in the world for Lau?!?!? What's that all about?

Did you see the play for the #1 guy? He does all Lau's moves in less that 1:20 seconds. It's incredible!

Check it out on XBox Live if you have it.
