You really shouldn't worry too much at this early stage of the game fighting against a Kitana that can do the 51 now 48 bnb combo as there are only a handful that are able to go to tournaments who can get it reliably. You should definitely know the matchup though.
I agree, you can have massive damage combos, but if you see what is in the combos, it does require a bit of work and as Konqrr says, only a handful of people will be able tu pull this off consistantly and you have to be in a situation where Kitana can punish you like a whiffed move. Kitana can drop her combos very easily and half of the ones that I do for like say 50 - 60% I wont even get out to do on the computer, but thats just me. The whole lot is going to be balanced out, but don't forget you can still combo break em, just keep an eye on that meter!!!!
There are so many situations that kitana can get in that create combo opportunities for her... she has many bnbs.
This is the combo I usually use because it's very useful but I do recommend using 2~lift because it's quicker and easier.
It is easier, but you are cheating yourself out of damage. You will be much better off in the long run if you practice the 4~lift. 2~lift not only does less base damage, but I'm pretty sure it adds more proration later on in the combo.
Yes, I've been practicing Kitana and offline even I opt for two. Yeah it's a two percent loss or so but dropping the 4-lift will provide you an even lesser combo. Lower-risk, about the same reward.
Though plinking is done to reactivate the first button press through the second one wich is of lower priority thus does not come out resulting in two subsequent frames where the same move will try to activate. Not saying your comparison is bad btw, just pointing out the difference in mechanics
I will make a video soon showing her various punishers. Even full screen stuff like the Ermac bf1 punish I did on Krayzie @ ReveLAtions.
