Regardless of if Lao has been changed at all, it'll still be more fun to fight him if you're able to use the mobile cannon and demolisher and all that. Although, if smacking him in the belly with a hammer is as effective as it was before, there isn't really that much point in using the seige equipment unfortunately. If Capcom is emphasising the importance of the stuff, maybe this could turn into the next Jhen Mohran fight.
