General/Other - Mournful Why Mournful is Potentially Kitty's Best Variant.

[Zabru]

Interesting i know he has good footsies with some interesting normals.

I disagree, d4 is a really good poke but most of possessed power comes from his ability to open people up with his specials/continue pressure with specials. What moves are you thinking of? For the love a god please not be talking about f4 that shit is garbage and it's the only normal he gains.

No need to get defensive i am no kenshi expert but from what i have seen back 2 is really interesting because it is plus. back 1 and forward 2 are also notable because of their range. I admit that i don't know a ton about this character and that is why i am asking you questions.

Is it b/c the princess cries and has mascara running down her cheeks?

 

[YoloRoll1stHit]

I don't think Jax's OH dash punch is 5 frame
The biggest problem with Mournful is that she losses air control. Her damage is average in comparison to other characters
But dat D1 glaive....it can does a million chip damage and frustrate many people

 

[Laos_boy]

I still believe her control is good its just not as threatening. Which the some thing Royal storm has over mournful. 30% of an 8f air projectile.

 

[GeTitToGeThErGrOuCh]

i feel like its a good variation because you have a best of both worlds deal. you have some of kitanas best with jade's best.

 

[STRYKIE]

but i just want to throw fans

Mash d+1~Shadow Kick

 

[SM StarGazer]

Sry its offical for me Mournful is Kitana's beststance. Instant air glaive\floats is crazy. Hell the bitch can do 4 overheads into a 50/50. Its godlike, just takes a nice set up.

 

[YoloRoll1stHit]

Unfortunately her zoning in mournful can be jumped over easily due to glaive's startup and the lower risk when eating a glaive....
Come on, 1/3 life full screen fan conversion people!

 

[VAAAAAAAAN]

No it can't. Not if your good at mixing up glavie tosses with float. Also shadow kick is a ridiculous anti air. Plus about 30% chip block string. She's a beast.

 

[BenGmanUk]

Glaives as a zoning tool are quite underated imo. Mid is a big deal and by varying your jump height and being a little unpredictable it can be a huge pain for people without a teleport. Instant air glaive still hits peoples feet for close to mid to full screen, but you have to be careful of people running in under glaives if you use them at full height. As above, if they like to jump, back to full screen they go with a shadow kick. AA glaive into ex shadow kick is 19% so not too sloppy. Chip/meter build is what you want from them anyway rather than pure keep away.

Her problems are characters that shut down these options like Ermac and Scorpion where good ones will stop you from using projectiles or jumping in general, leaving her with little capacity to build meter and start her pressure.

It disgusts me that people are like, "Oh, easy 45%+ combos in RS? I need to pick up Kitana." The entirety of this community acts like Kitana can just waltz up to people and combo them for 45% because people refuse to block the low in b14.

Real talk: Kitana takes an amount of patience and reads that not a lot of other characters in this game take advantage of in their basic design. She doesn't play MKX, she plays MK9.5, and people who think they're in for an easy win because of her damage are in for a rude awakening.

Sorry, not to derail, but I needed to vent lol

Your not venting..just speaking the truth. This goes triple for Mournful. She's all footies..like all damn day. One of if not THE most honest character in MKX. And damn I love her. Back on topic now.

Every1 thinks f22u4 air glaive is safe..it is not. You can mb through the air glaive.

Only Kung Lao and Cassie, but they whiff

 

[Jack Ashe]

I think we can forget the "Potentially" part of that

It is safe. It's a block string against most characters or isn't punishable by most. It's also just -6 with push back. Minus 6 is safe. Only a handful that can punish, can get meaningful conversions. In which case you use Ex air glavie which jails the whole cast and is safe. It's mostly people with lots of stagger on the knock back of the u3 and female hitboxes that are able to armor through. Only Mileena, Tanya, Shinnok, Lao (not tempest), and Warlock Quan can convert solid damage. That stagger is the same reason the chip block string is so inconsistent but it's easier on big hit boxes with mid stagger. One of the few things left to fix with Kitana.

Na anyone can use armor after the f22u4, but it jails in the corner

STAAHHHPPP

 

[xInfra Deadx]

STAAHHHPPP

You're armoring at the wrong time. Before the Glaive hits is when you can armor.

It also doesn't matter if you block high or low either.

 

[VAAAAAAAAN]

It's set to reversal

 

[YoloRoll1stHit]

It's set to reversal

Interesting test. I wonder if Kitana does that string on Sonya with reversal xray, when the glaive hits will Kitana "got sucked" into her xray

Should work. Sonya has a lot of stagger on the u4 and she's able to armor and it seems like it leaves her close enough.

Sonya can parry projectiles?

 

[VAAAAAAAAN]

Sonya can parry projectiles?

With X-ray she can if they're close enough. She can parry most things with X-ray. Idk about X-rays though.

Sonya's xray wins all xray in the game (if close enough). I don't know about all of them though, whose xray can be done from a distance away to prevent getting sucked into Sonya's black hole?
