It's random xray.

That's my shit!

 

[16 Bit]

Can someone please test if 112~cutter jails after a jps?

It does.

 

[shura30]

if the 2 whiffs 1 becomes unblockable

 

[VIDA]

I remember when I used 212 early on. It felt like so nice and rushy. But no one seemed to use it at higher levels so I forgot about it.

I never used 112 too but then we started seeing at higher levels.

lol

 

[Eddy Wang]

So has anyone already figure it out what it is?

More fans. Because it's broken that you cant get hit by at least 50 fans before you land. I think it's more fans.

it's 2,1
and 2,1,2

212 fans?

Haha im just kidding. Is it just a particular string that is making her "God Tier"?

 

[Konqrr]

The hitbox on 21 is huge and the 1 part picks them up off the ground if they lay there. If you do 21~cutter they can duck and punish or low poke but if you do 212 the last hit will hit them out of everything. You can stand outside sweep distance and do 21 and the 1 will hit kung lao out of his spin while it is active. 21 lowers her hitbox so much that Noob's teleport whiffs, etc etc

It is becoming increasingly easier to win with all of this up close shit lol

also, doing 2,1, 2,1,2, or 2,1 cutter, or dash grab, etc.

works well.
doing 2,1,2 makes people respect after being hit by 1.
2 is so long and fast, it tends to catch people trying to reacting by a situational 2,1 whiff.
it's good, but not godly, it can be punished if your next 2,1 whiffs

 

[rev0lver]

or dash grab

hm. idk about this without testing. the recovery on just 2,1 itself seems too much if you're not right up in his face.

ive done it a few times, people will tend to block a whiffed 2,1, thinking youll do another.

hey peepz, relearning kitana now that I'm using a diy hitbox.

what's the best way to iAF? Neutral jump? jump backwards? jump in front? Are they situational?

help would be apprecciated

 

[Konqrr]

The perfect setup is forward throw. If you train them to stay there by punishing their wakeup or rollback, then they will stay on the ground and you can then 21 where the 1 picks them up off the ground for a free combo.

 

[Marvaz]

so 21 is really the big secret??

 

[Prinz]

It's just a tool that everybody will know about and have in mind while playing Kitana. Nothing scary. God bless the Internet and TYM members for sharing their knowledge.

 

[Konqrr]

If you are using a hitbox, then you should just use a straight up jump input to do iAF. I use jump back for my iAF because I use a stick and rarely get any input errors.

 

[bloodsport]

i guessed right? it's 2,1? or is it 1,1,2, cutter?

watch us all end up being wrong and it's a 100% combo.

Are they all equally fast? Because jump back iaf recovery seems a bit faster than neutral jump iaf's-

 

[aj1701]

I believe there's a delay of a few frames from when you hit up until you actually jump, to allow for u+button moves. Forward / backwards jumps should come out immediately though, so a directional jump for IAF should come out a few frames quicker. Unless i'm completely wrong

 

[VIDA]

Im stariting to incorporate 2~fan in my game as an anti-cross up but the frame delay for swicthing directions makes it feel awkward and risky. What do u guys do to direct this? Any thoughts?

Also I think its been said that EX fan lift is good as an anti-crossup right?

 

[BenGmanUk]

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.

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