Whatever character you play is the character I’m gonna play. You explain things in a way other creators just can’t. You’re a great teacher

i will use this guide to beat my friends thank you

I have no idea how I found your channel but after watching one video I actually watched like seven more. you are so entertaining and underrated at the same time, keep going mate.

Li Mei is just a blast to play 💜

Just wanted to say your Mileena+Jax guide has brought my game to another level. I never would have known how good her setplay is with out your video. Keep up the good work!

This is so awesome thank you! It’s like you’re reading my mind, I love Mileena and she’s my main but I’ve been wanting to try Li Mei lately and boom, you drop this gem 🤩

I just found a god rank Li mei player and befriended him. Guy was a nightmare. He played with Lao as a kameo and honesy is great option. Lao is broken anyways but: Improves her zoning, gives her low overhead hard-to-blockables, you can low hat to your stagger layers ans stay plus everytime. Also nice set ups with lantern and held low hat

I think it's probably important to mention her aerial db4 as an instant air overhead. Starts up in 10 frames and from an instant air, it's basically a 14 frame overhead. With certain kameos (eg. cyrax, scorpion, goro) she can convert for a full combo off the ex version. The ex version is also safe (-6) although does have a flawless block which makes it punishable. If your opponent is respecting you, it further enforces her mixup game. Also great as a jump back to bait pokes.

I’m mainly a street fighter player. Currently 1900 MR with Guile, and wanted to try out MK1. Immediately gravitated towards Li Mei because she kind felt like a SFV character. Stubby buttons but lots of plus frames. This guide really helped me put her game plan into perspective for me.

Amazing guide, thank you

I love Li Mei and I love that NRS designer her the way they did. It really takes some pleasant effort to win on her against some skilled players.

thnx,great video !! looking forward of the cameo choise ,grtz

Really trying to learn Li Mei. Thank you for this.

As someone who wants to main Li Mei, this is really informative. It's great to know she's a good beginner character. I loved her since the PS2 era games, and I love her return in MK One. I had no idea her Nova Blast was one of the quicker projectiles, and that air combo is great. I'm also impressed that Goro can give some love for Li Mei, as my cousin thought he was underwhelming. And he's more skilled at fighting games than I. I really loved using Johnny Cage in MK11, so that comparison also appeals to me. Thank you for these tips!

It's actually kinda funny to me that it took a street fighter player to notice the strength of Lei mei. I've been screaming her praises since launch and I'm actually a shao main. A couple of things I'd like to add though. First u can enforce additional pressure with f4. F4,4 is an overhead and once established u can do f4 into her meterburn fireball which is 0 on block. Her meterburn cartwheel kick in the air is safe and it can be done right off the ground for an unreactable overhead. Her meterburn shi zu dragon kick is 7 frames. Meaning u can punish all block pokes. With the right kameo u can get a full combo punish. Which leads me to the next thing, her best kameo imo is scorpion. It gives her the only thing that I believe she's lacking which is big damage on every touch. I have a full combo video if ur interested.

Thanks that helps

No wonder Li mei feels so different to most of the kast. As a street fighter guy, this solidified my reason to have this kharacter as my main.

This definitely helped me under the power of jailing. Frames still can still be a little confusing but now I see how I can use dragons' tail and also jab, 1,2! Thanks :}

Your video is good vibes bro. Li Mei design and overall feel as a character is nice she throws hands. Transitioning from DBFZ into mk1 and she just feels natural

You can also use scorpian (up+cameo) to extend shi zu lion and pretty muuch everyone of li mei's special moves, including charge Great content here! more li mei videos plz!

Ive been playing sub but got mopped by a Li Mei and her win pose got me interested in playing her. Nice to see a guide with actual strats for once

great guide!

Li mei main here and new to mk so this is amazing thank u

That lion move punishing d1 is crazy.

Thank you.

OHHHHHH. SO THAT'S WHY I GRAVITATED TOWARDS HER SO HEAVILY INSTEAD OF EVERYONE ELSE😂 SHE REMINDED ME OF MY STREET FIGHTER DAYS

I really like her with the scorpion kameo, you can fit 3 flurries in one combo

She also reminds me of Videl with her chain reaction, frame 7 DP, and conceptually amazing pressure.

Just subbed. I’m glad I found your channel. I main Li Mei and have over 500 games on her. I didn’t know about the poke reversal with db 3. Definitely gonna implement that. Another tip that people might find useful is your 124 string can break armor if you time it right with their wake-up against certain characters. That has won me a lot of matches. Love the guide!

Great video 👍

I’ve been playing Li Mei since the beta and gotten to grand master rank on KL. She is underrated and a combo machine! Sonya and scorpion I feel are the best kameos for big combos.

Great guide!!!!

She feels top tier af

You keep making guides on the exact characters i want to play and i love it. I main mileena and was thinking of picking up li mei as my next

I'm just very glad there's one stoic fighter lady

Cool thing the combo trials show you is that you can shoot the lantern with air fireball to pop the opponent up at range for no meter

nice video

Very detailed guide! I feel like the only thing that was left out was the applications of her lantern (being able to detonate it, setting it up in neutral, etc.) Anyway, I’m glad to see someone else on Li Mei!

Good video!

Stryker seems like a great assist for Li Mei. -+6 overhead that cant be poke out of in most cases, -+1 low -a mid projectile to force blocking -a restand that leave you +30 something

OK now this was a pleasureable video ,ty 😇👍,ya I don't want people to give her props cause then they gonna k ow about her 😂

Mad damage kameo I’ve been using is scorpion and his far pop up also launches for counter poke punishing. Lao does Lao things so it only helps her pressure. Never used goro yet but I will.

this is pretty helpful of a guide for her, i still struggle with her zero range normals though, nothing is close enough to hit or they will crouch then there is nothing i can do

As a casual I don’t completely under the frame stuff yet 😅 I get the concept but forget when I’m playing. Thanks

Mileena mains gotta stay together. But this was a good lesson on Li Mei. Got me curious. Keep it up

I love her

I feel so goofy I did not make the connection between her an Ryu lol. I was jsut goofing in practice with her and played a few casuals to just adjust to her movement and strings and she is pretty sick.

kitana next? great guide bro

#BuffMileena i was legit cry laughing at this point 😂 I definitely want to use Li Mei its just so many GAPS 😭 when so many characters have full on 4-6 hit stagger mid starters that go to full combo launchers and plus frames. She reminds me of a mixture of Cyrax in MKX and Demolition Sonya had a child that grew up and mad this induction of Li Mei firework godess. She also reminds me of Jacqui with the short stubby raptor arm reach.

first 30 seconds was the exact reason my ryu brain picked her haha

Its like that homework you copy but change it a little bit

I use her with Scorpion and she's great with him

Just found your channel and you are an absolute gem. Please do more mileena videos and ranked sets with her if you are maining her.

Is Li Mei better for learning the game than Mileena. Haven’t decided who to focus on.

i have 200 games of li mei and just hit demi god didntkn ow back 3 was a good anti you can get like 40% mid screen with scorp off that anti air

Kung Lao next?????

7:22 what move is that ?

Bruh that special move 'Shi Zi Lion' literally just means Lion Lion 😂 Chai Tea anyone? How about some Naan Bread?

Never played a SF in my life and now I understand why Li Mei has felt so weird to me. Concepts like staggering, frame traps, (auto) shimmies, just never seemed that prevalent to me in MK games, so I just ain't that familiar with them.

I feel like li Mei with scorpion is the best for her. you can get so much damage off with them.

"Also, buff Mileena" ALL I WANT is not to have 12 flawless blocked be a full combo. If they ONLY fix this, Im good!
