Oh I agree, it's definitely stupid. I was just stating that it is possible to deal with. It's kinda like the shortcuts from SSFIV, only to an extreme level.

you're supposed to keep these things to yourself until after they patch!
pretty much a variance of Persona's combo
Use 4~fan lift instead of 2 and you get 2% more damage. This was posted some pages back.
fan, i've been trying to use cutter lately. That move is really nice to end ground strings with since it leaves the opponent in a stagger state, meaning huge frame advantage for Kitana. Right after the move, she can jump towards the opponent, and they'll be forced to block high if they're expecting an overhead. Instead, you could fake the overhead and just land, and go for a throw/sweep. If they block low instead, and you guess right, then you get a free 50+% combo off an overhead. This is one of the few nice mixups Kitana can play and make up for her lack of instant overheads.
That's one thing I don't like when I fail to look at my opponent's meter and I do 21~:en Fan then they break after that and I lose my meter. If I would have read my opponent's meter, I would have done 21~Fan Lift instead. This is in situations where I dash in to punish a move that f21 is too slow for like a gravity squeeze done too close.Been using Kitana since Day 1 and she can really wreck stuff. I've been practicing her 58% combo listed here (thanks to Konqrr), but I prefer doing 2~Fan Lift instead of 4~Fan Lift. It does 2% less damage overall, but I just find it much easier to connect lol, especially when there's lag online.
Speaking of combos, whenever you get a punish off a 21 where normally f21 would be too slow to punish, you have to burn a meter in order to get the full combo and maximize the punish. But instead of
Simply put, cutter is awesome. ^_^
21 ex fan is good to force meter burn, while 21 fan lift is more manage-able and less likely to be breaker unless they see a reason that they HAVE to
21~fan lift, dash, njp, b2~air fan, fan, 4~cutter
Other good ones are:
my advice? forget about that extra 5% and cut the combo in half and make it 20X easier by doing f21, b2~AF, ff, 4~fan, f2~cutter for 41% EX cutter if by a wall at the end and get 45 or 46%. i've been gradually adding to my BnB to get that extra couple percent, but i value consistency over anything. once you do this one 100%, then work that fan lift in and go from there. for the 51% combo...you have to dash LOTS. i ignore the ff notation in the combo and just dash at every possible opportunity.So for this combo here... 51% - f+2,1, NJP, 4~Fan Toss, 4~Fan Lift, ff, ff, b+2~Air Fan Toss, Fan Toss, 4~d,f+2 (bob)
There's no notation for a dash between the NJP and the fan lift. I've been trying it without a dash and I don't see any way to get the 4~fan lift to connect without dashing either after the NJP or fan toss. Also I find the dashing to be a pain in the ass because you have to cancel it early if you want the fan lift to connect. Am I doing something wrong or should there be a dash here?
Also any tips/tricks for getting the dash down consistently or am i just bad?
If you have already hit with an air fan, the fan lift will end the combo. If you are having trouble landing the fan lift because they fall too fast, then you need to use the :en fan lift in that particular situation.
