First match-up thread on the site? You guys know the drill. We brainstorm, test, play, and post up. I'll compile the best stuff here. This is going to take weeks/months to fill out. I'll try to update at least once a week. I want this to be a group effort. Let's break this character together.

General Strategy
Konqrr said:* Punishing blocked moves that put your opponent packaged in a rolling ball of fun - Time your attack to hit them when they land on the ground to maximize your damage potential.
* You must master the instant air fan (iAF). It's much simpler in this game than in previous games. Just press up then immediately do the fan. If you did it right, your fan must be blocked or ducked. You can also do this with the Air Square Boost.
* Air Square Boost is her best move for getting out of the corner. Don't just throw it out there though, if you are hit out by a jab, you will eat a corner combo and be in the same situation. You can jump back then do the ASB at the peak of your jump to make sure you get out safely.
Vs. Baraka Vs. Cyber Sub-Zero Vs. Cyrax Vs. Ermac
Punish: Force Port(Teleport) slight delay f21 bnb
Force Lift: f21 bnb
Force Lift: f21 bnb
Konqrr said:* Jax has a very difficult time getting in on Kitana. With her iAF and SB/ASB to get out once he finally gets you into the corner, he has to chase you all over the stage. This is kind of like Balrog vs Guile in SF4 except Kitana can get out of the corner lol
* Ground Pound? iAF or get a jump punch combo.
* Be wary of his dash punch, that thing comes at you so fast it's hard to see coming. It's his best punisher too. You can punish as it happens if you are already ducking with a d+1~Fan Lift.
* So basically run away with Air Fans and Square Boosts while punishing his every move. This is an easy battle IMO
