Got results in from LordVenoc. Couple of solid wins to balance out the losses he had in initials. I'm gonna bump him back up to 260 with that being the case.

- THEME TEST/ Feels great. Definitely feels like the Liu Kang I know from the games with the multi attack feel.
- MIRROR TEST/ Nothing here.
- BONDING TEST/ Didn’t run him with Champions or anything, but otherwise seemed to not have issues.
- SYNERGIES TEST/ No problems. As a human, he does prevent stacking Cap and Star Lord for some massive attack rolls.
- POWER CHECK/ His normal attack can hit real real hard from height.
- FUN TEST/ Was very fun to play. The variety is nice, but in a build amping his attack, the Special Attack feels fairly situational.
- FUN COMPETITIVE TEST/ Quick early hits from height could probably feel really unfun.
- DRAFTING TEST/ He’s definitely worth 250. While I was running him attempting to break him, he still felt like he’d be fun without boosters.
- USAGE TEST/ Used everything. Bicycle Kick only felt useful once with this layout.
- STRATEGY TEST/ Picking attacks is fun, but it doesn’t always feel like others a real choice. Enter the Dragon is a great strategic decision, and it was a real power turn the one time it kicked in.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Liu was fun and feels like he’ll be strong on his own, but potentially a bit too strong? It is hard to say off the first game where he got really just one good turn in. The second game however, he really tore through the Fantastic Four, which is saying something for a 250 pointer..
GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: I may just have gotten really lucky with him here. Second game felt like much more than a 250 pointer. First felt a bit under. Luck of the dice. But overall, I love the style and feel of him. His normal attack seems the most in question, but of any of it, I’d have most concerns with the range for easy height advantage. Sure he dealt a lot of damage, but that is because I basically spent 250 points on an additional attack die.
