Lol I did my first Kitana mirror last night. Royal Storm vs Royal Storm. Hands down the lamest match in the game.

Reflecting lifts are fun tho lol

There are 75 Matchups in which my strings are garbage, and my fans are ducked. Hell Ferra/Torr is a better zoner. I'm just glad she's just my fun secondary and not my main like some of these poor souls.

Lol you know what pisses me off? Watching my fan go through Torr's head and Ferra's body and nothing happens cuz you know... my shit's a high

Why does this thread exist? God you guys suck sometimes

 

[dotunderscore]

btw can we also talk about how useless sharpen is?
being time based its quite worthless. takes too long to cast, fades out way too fast

I like sharpen - especially if you have Xray and are in the 2nd round. Parry on the other hand - meh

when do you find time to cast it? i found myself getting instantly bashed by people who just run to me after wakeup.
literally, they see sharpen after a knockdown - full on charge mode while you are in recovery frames. and then you are forced to block and sharpen just fades out.
i'd rather have it deplete after 2-3 attacks than being time based

 

[ShaolinGunFu]

one buff she needs is her nose looks like baraka's, nerf her ugliness

 

[dotunderscore]

when do you find time to cast it?

either full screen after a few fans or sometimes if I have them floating I will skip the rest of the combo to be able to do it safe

 

[Rean]

either full screen after a few fans or sometimes if I have them floating I will skip the rest of the combo to be able to do it safe

but then they can just crouch while its active :\
and you are giving up damage to do more damage on next combo that may not even land? wut?

 

[Jaku2011]

I hate that you have to sharpen to do the Brutality. Why can't I just do the EX?

 

[Rean]

do the throat slice, it hits half screen and just as fast anyway

It exists b/c this isn't a dictatorship and people are free to discuss matters such as fighting game character's strengths or weaknesses. Welcom to America bruh.

I do that it's about variety man

Sure - It's risk/reward and situational

 

[Rean]

It's risk/reward and situational

i dont like the odds in that gamble considering how crap kitana openings are

 

[exflyingbooty]

Funny enough half of us are not even asking for extremely overpowered buffs either, except mid fans

Still it doesn't matter what anyone says, b+2 does need a buff because if reptiles fucking overhead is that fast(lol i ain't reacting that) and a popup i think we could have it buffed to i dunno 18 frames maybe.

 

[wndrboy2k3]

99.9% of my quitalties are from trash talking Grand Master Subzeros and Kung Jins who just can't deal with the fact that we're onto their shit.

Use it after assassin strike

 

[Rean]

bad idea, you dont recover in time. i tried many times, got rushed at instantly - forced to block - it just expires while i block incoming mess

anyone with half brain will just poke you right after wakeup since you cant do anything thanks to animation lock.

 

[Madog32]

Yeah. I think an ex one is quick enough, but a regular sharpen will get rushed down. I believe you have enough time after an ex lift, but why not just do the ex sharpen after AS? I mostly stick to Royal Storm, but I when I was playing around with assassin I wondered the same thing you are

 

[haketh]

I don't even want our overhead buffed, I just want good frames on it after block & better strings to make them think about jumping. Right now theirs no good way to force them to the air.
