Strategy Kitana General discussion

[-Deadman-]

I thought so. I wonder if that was an oversight?

I could see them giving it hyper armor and 4% more damage, however they'd chop off another 1% off ground fan as compensation lol

Hey guys! Kitty fan and a new n00b here ^_^

I have a question. Is it possible to interrupt Kitana's f4, 1 string?

I was playing online yesterday and connected a cutter on a grounded opponent. Jump-punched in and went for the f4, 1 string. My opponent (Reptile) was blocking, but all of the sudden blew me up with X-ray in the middle of my f4, 1 string. Is this normally possible or is this just some random online stuff?

You can interrupt if you're ducking the f4 but the jip jails you high. I'd think it was only armored moves or fast x-rays that can interrupt before the 1. Never had it happen to me tbh.

Is fake out kick one of the only specials that does not have an ex variant?

I think its the only one in the game lol.

It's funny that you say that because Skarlet has 2, blood ball and slide.

 

[Nephrite]

So f4 ~ cutter can't be interrupted, but f4, 1 ~ cutter can be interrupted between the f4 and 1, right?

slide has enhanced

 

[Somberness]

slide has enhanced

Slide does not, but dash does.

Why are people freaking out cuz of this new tech there is always new tech instead of figuring out what someone else has already; find something new. We will all know soon enough how "godly" this new tech is and it sounds like it has been blown out of proportion. Lets remember we all play kitana and know how beast she already is

I picked up Kitana accidentally today (missed the hidden cursor badly) and I won in about 30 seconds i was like fanfanfanfanfan2121212121 "fuck she's an all powefull bitch".
To hell with my Cyrax and CSZ resets and cancels, sophisticated elaborated long combos mindgames, etc, fanfanfanfan21212121 ftw!! (dont take me seriously idk what i was doing with her, but used 2 buttons only and if there is something new that only makes her stronger then im pretty sure she deserves the Tiara tier)

 

[16 Bit]

She has no strings that give her advantage on block. If the opponent stand blocks cutter they're neutral. A blocked 1,1 is neutral.

EX Ass has armor but not on start up. Only as she's flying across.

Air Fan blows up jumping from anywhere on screen. Standing 2~fan or standing 3~fan if they try to jump in. Jump back kick~air fan. EX Fan Lift.

 

[DanCock]

ok well these threads are stupid. if you are not going to share the new info then whats the point of opening up a thread just to say you have something new, but im not going to share??

So I've been noticing something that's been happening to me in the corner, and this has been happening in the right corner only. Sometimes when my opponent crosses me up while I'm on the ground, I'll do a reverse input wakeup cutter. However, sometimes in that corner it'll wakeup with cutter as if i didn't reverse input it, despite the fact that i'm inputting the move the other way. And obviously, d,b,2 wouldn't do that. Has this happened to anyone else? Maybe someone could try to recreate it in practice mode.

 

[Mr. Mileena]

kitana is a bitch.

 

[rev0lver]

kitana is a bitch.

Yeah, nice name change. Traitor.

 

[1man3letters]

so what was all this new 2,1 kitana tech now that nec is over?

thankfully prople will start sharing things now than these im not telling tech threads

 

[PANDEMlC]

What are some good Kitana AA's? Like does she have any normal moves that work well as AA or maybe a specific special move? Or do I just have to do a njp or jump back fan? Definitely my biggest problem trying to learn this character so far is keeping people from jumping when I'm not throwing fans.

Answer: Air Fan blows up jumping from anywhere on screen. Standing 2~fan or standing 3~fan if they try to jump in. Jump back kick~air fan. EX Fan Lift.

 

[rev0lver]

[MENTION=3382]PANDEMlC[/MENTION] , are you answering your own question? lol

I have to say I think Kitana's jump kick damage is ridiculous. 39% meterless, 41% (i think, if i remember right) with 1 bar. Are there any other characters that have a safe jump kick string like jk~air fan that comes close to this damage?

 

[BenGmanUk]

Okay so you've knocked scorpion down and are pressuring him on wake up, you know he's going to ex teleport, what are your options? As far as I can tell its d1, dash, d1~cutter. There must be better though right?

Also, what are you guys punishing a blocked low hat with? Its -12 on block so theoretically we can't even 21~combo. A throw seems our only real option.

If you want to use meter you can d1~ex fan combo scorpion on ex teleport, not sure of the max damage but I'll test later.

Kitana's 2 is 11 frames, so technically you could punish a low hat but you have to have godlike reactions. A throw would be the most reliable.
