see, this is downplay. Fans are good; have you played versus Kotal Kahn? he struggles in the match up even if they hit high.
That's not downplay at all I've played Kahn before and even he has ways around fan with his long ass movement in between fan throws. Besides that I also have to state that even bad characters have their few favorable match ups.

Or you know she really is that bad



Just stop you don't know what you're talking about.



If they air booty its punishable on landing by 63 frames. If you block it's 32 frames... stop being predictable



You ever think to duck? Fans aren't that good.



Punishable...



You must not play Kitana.

I mean really everyone in here saying fans are annoying sounds like they are very impatient and lack ground control. All you have to do is take out one type of fan and that's the ground version. The other one is high as well so you people should probably duck run duck punish... just saying
I must not fucking play Kitana? I must not play Kitana? I've played this god forsaken character since the day after launch, she's my go-to for wins; but you can make notions based off a post I made which you took out of context? FANS ARENT THAT GOOD? I had to start up my game just to inform you how wrong you are. I'm 229/79 with Assassin Variation, she's my best character.

The real question here is; do you play Kitana? You seem to take things other people say and shout them at actual Kitana mains; and better yet you have a tone of condescension. Her instant air fan is one of, if not her best god damn tool. Take your presumptuous attitude elsewhere, you clearly do not know what you are talking about.

ground fans are better
 
@CoRzz Jin running between projectiles means you're blocking like at most 3 before you're in jump range. So what if Kitana does ass or run? They're both full combo punishable on block. Kitana sucks. Sorry but the "it's too early" argument is being taken too literally. It's pretty obvious who the top tiers are and who the shitters are.
I dnt agree with this at all lol, 3 weeks is not enough for any fighting game. Ppl thought they knew about quan and we saw what happened at NWM. There is a lot of good stuff for characters in this game and if ppl think they have broken down someone in 3 weeks they are jumping the gun.

I agree for the most part. But when almost EVERY SINGLE representative for a character, including the most recognizable ones, are saying a character is bad, shouldn't that mean something?

Nope, because I have seen this before and it will probably happen again. I am not saying she is some top tier OP character secretly but to just say she plain out sucks after 3 weeks is a stretch for sure. I could care less what character representatives say because many kenshi players saying he is bad and in regards to my character ppl be saying inferno is the best variation for sure (but hellfire is the better one when u really look at it).

Idk shit about Kenshi lol, so I can't comment on the matter. Same with scorp.

But let's look at the tools Kitana has:

Zoning: AMAZING...if the game favored zoning. Way too much recovery on iaf. Both versions of fan are unsafe on block and whiff. Glaives are a good tool tho, but now the variation is banned. Royal Storm's lift is a godsend. Outclassed by other zoning characters (Full Auto Jacqui, Summoner Homie Quan, etc)

Footsies: Decent. F22 is a good footsie tool, but slow, unsafe, doesn't combo into anything, and ISNT AN OH. Her pokes are trash and unsafe. SEVERELY outclassed by characters like D'Vorah, Cassie, Kang, etc.

Rushdown: Lmao...

Damage: Yes she hits like a truck. Problem is, characters like Kung Jin and Raiden have just about the same damage, but have a much easier time scoring that damage. Kitana has no way to open someone up and mainly scores her damage off of a punish or mistake.

Safety: every single special move is unsafe. Almost every string is unsafe. Only 3 strings are neutral and one of them can be interrupted with armor.

Miscellaneous: yes she controls the air very well. I'll give her that. Good walk speed and jump as well. Parry is garbage. Reflect is good a full screen but too slow to use on reaction anywhere else. Multiple armor moves are good but all are unsafe.

On paper, Kitana sounds amazing, but in actual reality, she has trouble. I'm not saying she's the worst character in then game or anything like that, but man, she needs help lol. YYEEEEAAAAPPPP :p

Hmm, would a f2,2 buff being like -6 suffice?

There is no reflect in this game that is good outside of fullscreen, at least there isin't one that i can't remember. Some projectiles are so fast, that even scorpion, don't have time to teleport on reaction if he is not fullscreen.
