ii. History [102]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
*From Wikipedia*
Kung Lao is the last known descendant of the Great Kung Lao, a former Champion
of Mortal Kombat, who lost the title to Goro 500 years previous. Like his best
friend, Liu Kang, Kung Lao is also a member of the White Lotus Society. Kung
Lao was originally the one to represent the Temple of Light in the Mortal
Kombat tournament but declined knowing the consequences of becoming Mortal
Kombat champion. Liu Kang was then chosen to participate in the tournament, and
emerged as the winner.
When the Shaolin Temples were attacked by Baraka and his Tarkatan soldiers, Liu
Kang and Kung resolved to travel through the portal that brought the Tarkatas
to their temple and avenge their fallen Shaolin brothers, goaded every step of
the way by Shang Tsung. Although he joined his friend in his furious quest,
Kung Lao's ultimate goal was to rebuild the White Lotus Society at the Wu Shi
Academy, in order to train a new generation of warriors for the coming ages.
He, along with Liu Kang, ventured into Outworld to do battle with Outworld's
forces in a new tournament. During their adventures, they began to forge an
even stronger friendship with each other than the one they had before. While it
is unclear as to what matches took place, it is known that Liu Kang fought with
Shao Kahn himself, eventually overpowering the emperor. Afterwards, Kung Lao
traveled back to Earthrealm to rebuild the White Lotus Society.
When Shao Kahn's invasion of Earthrealm came, he had to temporarily scrap his
plans for reforming the Society. Kung Lao challenged Shao Kahn; He seemed to be
doing well against the emperor but was brutally beaten forcing him to retreat.
This enraged Liu Kang as he succeeded in defeating Shao Kahn for the second
time. With Outworld driven back, Kung Lao decided not to return to the Shaolin
Temples, instead allowing everyone to believe that he was dead and went on to
live a life of peace. Kung Lao would then find the tranquility and atonement he
had always wanted. This would not last long however, as he was drawn away from
his newfound peace to help fight against Shinnok's forces, when word reached
him that Goro, the Shokan warrior who had defeated the Great Kung Lao centuries
ago, was still alive. Confronting the giant, Kung Lao lashed out with a
ceremonial strike of revenge in honor of his long-lost ancestor that left
Goro's chest scarred. Considering the score settled, the two shook hands.
The next years were peaceful. This ended on a brutal note at the time of Mortal
Kombat: Deadly Alliance, when the sorcerers Quan Chi and Shang Tsung united and
murdered Liu Kang in a vicious attack (Tsung posing as Kung Lao to get close to
the champion). Kung Lao found the body of his longtime friend, and was told
immediately by Raiden that Tsung was the assassin, who had formed the Deadly
Alliance with Quan Chi. Enraged, Kung Lao vowed revenge upon the sorcerer, and
once again abandoned his pacifist Shaolin beliefs. He knew his current skills
were insuffcient to defeat Shang Tsung so after meeting with the other
Earthrealm warriors and travelling to Outworld, Kung Lao sought the advice of
the martial arts teacher Bo' Rai Cho. Bo' Rai Cho trained Kung Lao for a short
time, teaching him the 'whirlwind kick' maneuver. Together, they joined the
other warriors in the assault against the two sorcerers. Kung Lao would not
rest until Liu Kang was avenged, and Tsung had paid with his life.
But the assault did not end well. Along with Sonya, Jax, Johnny Cage, and
Kitana, Kung Lao was defeated in the assault against the Deadly Alliance.
Kung Lao was revived by Onaga as a slave during the events of Deception, but
was later returned to his normal self by Liu Kang.
Mortal Kombat Armageddon Ending
Kung Lao goes back in time after defeating Blaze. He meets his old ancestor,
and with his blessing, takes his place in the Mortal Kombat tournament. He
defeats Goro and becomes the MK Champion and was a legend. As a result, Liu
Kang never competed, and his and Kung Lao's rivalry never came to be.

iii. Notes [103]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Has some good combos and attacks
-Not the fastest or strongest
-Weak moves
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
iv. Strategies [104]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd recommend pummeling your opponent with Strong Monkey and Take It because
they're pretty easy to input and can cause some great damage. The only special
I really recommend using is his Hat Throw and maybe the Teleport every so often.

2. Movelist [200]
\-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=/
Moves will we listed with the combo needed to enter and then the name. Buttons
separated by commas are inserted after completing the first one and "+" mean
at the same time.
The Playstation 2 and the Xbox are the two systems that have this game so I
have to use a different key that encorporates both systems. There is a simple
key below, and you can expect Wii controls as it releases.
Yes, there are only two styles for Kung Lao but the number of moves per set is
greatly increased.

a. Specials [221]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Chest Kicks..................TH
Kung's throw isn't to special, it doesn't do much damage and can pretty tough
to execute. I don't recommend using it that much.
Whirlwind Kicks..............D,B+3
These kicks are pretty nice and should be used every once in awhile to stir up
some new combo.
Hat Throw....................B,F+1
Lao's signature move, the Hat Throw is a pretty nice special and should be used
a lot. Definitely try to use this to clear some space.
Wind Teleport................D,U+2
This teleport gets you behind your opponent and sets up one of the below
attacks for you to use.
Wind Teleport Hand Bash......D,U+2,1
The Hand Bash is a great move to use out of the teleport.
Wind Teleport Fist Smash.....D,U+2,2
The Fist Smash is also a great attack us use.
Wind Teleport Face Kick......D,U+2,3
The only attack I really don't recommend using is the Face Kick because it can
miss a lot of the time, really only use this when you're fighting a tall
opponent.
Wind Teleport Kick...........D,U+2,4
This kick on the other hand works fine and should be used often.
-In The Air-
Air Dive Kick................D,U+2,D+3
The Air Dive Kick is a cool technique to drop when you're in the air, try it
out for yourself to experiment how it works for you.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
b. Fatalities [222]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Fatalities are different this TIME, you get to input your fatality. Here's what
you do! I haven't experienced with it much but I'm pretty sure when it's time
to FINISH HIM, you can chain things together with different moves. Experience
with all the moves to find some cool fatalities!
