Kung Lao, actually. If you think about it you'll figure out why but I'll
explain. You know that I tend to like characters who dash in, do solid
damage and dash away again. In this game I opted for characters that are
good with rushdown, but can also play keepaway. Kung Lao fits that bill, as
the combination of his hat, teleport and teleport attacks and his close
range combos make him ideal for my style. I have to pick up one more, and
that's the one I can't figure out. lol.
