Ok, after this consensus obviously I have to be wrong. Now, I would like to know why.
About GF, you say -8 or -10, but I cant punish it. Just with Mileena bd4 at super close range which has no sense use it instead of f11 string or f112 string, or with subzero slide at medium range as Konqrr said. So, what's the problem with GF?
Lack of range for pokes? 2,1,2~GF. Good range and safe. Not combo starter but in that case you may take a risk with f+22u4 variations (super easy hit confirmable) which depending the variation opponent have to guess to punish it.
Now, plz, I would like to know chars with safe strings to combo, safe missiles zoning, pokes with range, OH/LOW combos, and fast punishers, all in one ofc, as you demand to Kitana.
