Kung Lao Chain Fist Evolution - MK9 vs MKX vs MK11 vs MK1

Kung Lao's Chain Fist combo across four Mortal Kombat entries, tracing how the move's damage scaling, startup frames, and corner carry evolved from 2011 through 2023. Dark MK isolates the move in isolation rather than full match context, making the mechanical differences between versions immediately comparable. The later entries show noticeably tighter input windows and altered hit-confirm timings, shifts that would affect mid-match execution significantly. Useful for players transitioning between versions or understanding how this particular string became less reliable in newer iterations.
