Liu Kang/Mavado Breakdown and Optimal Combos

Mavado is definitely a kameo in the game that currently is very highly ranked due to the unique gameplay options, due to him giving the rest of the main cast multiple amounts of options and his moves provides support for various gameplay styles too. It is still a little early to know for sure exactly where he lands on a tier list compared to other kameos as we do not know if NRS will make changes to him or make some of his unique moves more generalised due to being added to other kameos in the future but only time can tell. Specifically, with Liu Kang he provides a gameplay style that only strengthens his already strong all around gameplay especially when it comes down to providing extra pressure by enhancing his rushdown and supporting his zoning capabilities.
Terminology
UK = Up Kameo
DK = Down Kameo
FK = Forward Kameo
BK = Back Kameo
OS = Option Select - A buffer where a normal button or string is inputed and then cancelled into a special move or kameo move and if the normal button or string successfully hits the opponent the special/kameo move is executed. However when a normal button or string is blocked the special/kameo move will do nothing.
OKI = Okizemi - When a player is attacking an opponent as they are waking up of the ground.
DOT = Damage Overtime - Unblockable damage from a move that is executed and persists for a varying amount of time.
