Was able to progress in rank simply by having a general understanding of the system and using an offensive pressuring approach using Lau. However, after reaching around the Defender to Guardian rank, I had noticed that this would no longer work against stronger players, and I would lose more than winning. I realized I would require more understanding of each character's strength and weakness. Wanted to start this thread for any general suggestions or strategies (e.g. how to counter their most common moves or strings) for Lau against each character.
