So i'm pretty sad. I was enjoying Kitana there for a while, but as time goes on and I fight Kung Jins and Erron Blacks it becomes painfully apparent that she is just not good. I can sit there and mash strings at their faces for days, I can knock them down and play guessing games; but in the end there's no way to open the opponent up for anything. It makes me sad.
It makes me EXTREMELY emo at how absolute trash she is in this game. I have and and few other Kitana's (who are all good players) who have actually stepped out of the lab to face other good players have learned just how unequiped she truly is.
NO one is scared of her zoning. Literally if the opponent is patient and doesn't jump her core strength is null and void.
Her block strings are a joke. Her pokes are even more laughable and F2 is shit in the neutral.
I knew it wasn't ME when I took my 2 day Dvorah and my 4 hour Cassie Cage out to face competent players I could actually play footsies, you know, because they have safe normals that advance them forward and have adequate pokes.
At this point, I could care less about lows and overheads...she needs safe, forward moving strings and/or a TRUE whiff punishing normals. I have won plenty of matches but only due to my natural talent and abilities....she as a character brings nothing to the table.
I never bitch about characters but anybody with a brain stem (who have fought other players and their characters) can see she is just simply unequiped. It's astonishing, really.
/emo rant.
