Kung Lao, based on my experience using him, relies on quick precision strikes and leaving your opponent guessing at all times. Chain many of his combos, particularly his Iron Broom or Lead the Way combo, with his Teleport and keep the pressure on your opponents. Also try not to overuse his Divekick, since when blocked have a pretty long recovery and should be used mainly to Enhance it. As far as his variations go, his Hat Trick variation has great zoning capabilities, and is also my favorite out of the two, that keeps opponents from rushing you.
This goes all characters. When trying to punish attacks, if you use a normal move it will come out 1 frame later because recovery from blocking is 1 frame. So trying to punish a move that is -6 will mean you need an attack with 5 frame startup unless its a special attack. Special attacks start up normally because they are reversals.
Kung Lao's Cyclone (Enhanced/Meter Burned Spin) is extremely fast, making it easy for Lao to punish specials and some normals at close range
My Main Character Kung Lao Kombos. Nothing else to be said. Smh
