This dream has a sad ending
if you like rushdown you're looking at the wrong character, kitana has to play in such a way where she makes the opponent make errors and punish them accordingly or depending on the opponent block a lot and punish.Hello Royal Family, prospective Kitana sub here. I main Mileena and wanted to ask about Kitana's variations. I like rushdown, and Assassin seems best for that, but I've heard her best variations go Royal Storm > Mournful > Assassin. I don't care about tiers, but out of curiosity, can someone explain to me why? And also, what is the difference in how RS and Mournful play? Different ways of controlling space? Thanks in advance.
Royal storm is very strong when it comes to footsies, the only issue i have with it is that fan lift no longer is an anti-air with other varitations.
booty is good for air to air encounters and good for a low crush
Fan raise is good for the distance and makes combos easier and ex fan raise goes full screen to catch people sleeping
she also has a reflect which is pretty strong
Mournful has jade's shadowkick which is better for punishment then throat slice i believe
glaves are actually mid but you can't really combo and ex glaves are good for pressure but it's metered pressure
staff grab is an ok anti-air and this is more or less better for "rush down" but then again it's just my opinion on the matter
Assassin
sharpen is fucking lol, you need to literally waste a combo set up to do it sucessfully so something like b+1,4 fan lift, f+33 fan, j.4 fan and then you can get off a sharpen and it does better for damage but it's just really bad
Assassin strike
Kitana runs midscreen, it's really good for opponents like scorpion who chugs demons at you or against kenshi
I really like this move actually
