Kung Lao seems to be a character best kept on the ground. Whereas he has the ability to teleport and a dive kick that has considerable reach, most of his high damage combos come in the form of his Basic Combos, mixed in with a Spin for an easy pop-up.
High Pressure Character with great variety in mix-ups and can suffocate an opponent before they can mount any offense if used well.
Another thing to note about going airborne is his Teleport move has a considerable amount of time before he can strike after re-surfacing. His Enhanced Hat Toss special is also an easy way to keep opponents airborne, which is essential for landing follow-ups or an easy Uppercut.
 
When fighting against damage-resistant characters (such as Goro, Kintaro, not so much Shao Kahn),  the dive kick and teleporting are a great idea, as these characters turn around more slowly. Using hat toss is not advised against teleporting characters (Sheeva and Noob come to mind) as they attack before you are finished recovering from the animation.

Kung Lao

MK9-KungLao Face.jpg

Kung Lao's ancestor was defeated by Goro 500 years ago in the pivotal match that saw Shang Tsung attain control of the Mortal Kombat tournament. To him this contest is about more than Earthrealm's freedom. His life's goal has been to slay Goro and win the tournament, thus restoring his family's honor. After being defeated by Liu Kang in a qualifying bout, he disguised himself as one of Shang Tsung's guards to gain attendance. Kung Lao believes he is ready for the challenge. The time to avenge his ancestor is at hand.

In a Nutshell: Kung Lao is a great ground fighter. Although versatile in the air, he is much better suited for the ground as his damaging combos and Spin pop-up creates easy juggles for players new to the game. When fighting against Goro or Kintaro, timing, Teleport and Dive Kicks are essential, meaning that you'll fight the opposite way when the big guys come out. Against Shao Kahn however, this advice is not advised.

Kombo Attacks

Fp.png , Fp.png , Bp.png , Fp.png

Safe string on block. Hits crouchers, cannot be crouched even though its all high hits. Buffer Spin at the 3rd hit.


Bp.png , Fp.png , Bp.png , Fp.png , Bp.png

Good chipping string, does 10% on blocked. Also gives you good meter. Can be punished by a fast special. On hit it knocks back.


B.png + Fk.png , Fk.png

Fast bufferable low-high string. Can be punished by a fast special or uppercut. Tack on a Ground hat at the end to make it completely safe if blocked.


Bp.png , Bk.png

Safe high-low string and bufferable.


Special Attacks

Spin

Fast, best anti-air. Where he gets his combos from. Great wakeup move but punishable on block. Enhance version covers some distance.


Ground Hat

Very fast low projectile. Only punishable by a very fast special upclose. Use it a lot in your pressure strings with bufferable kicks and punches.
After patch it has no advantage on hit.


Enhanced Special Attacks

Enhanced Hat Toss

Effective for Juggles (once Opponent is Airborne). It hits and though the damage is negligible, it leaves the opponent in the air for about 1.4 seconds, giving you time to combo.


Enhanced Teleport

Has armor. Use sparingly to catch opponent off guard.


X-Ray Attack

Good anti air and fast punisher, it comes out really fast and has a hit of armor so good for in tight when you know an opponent is gonna attack right after your blocked combo.
