Happens to us all man, I haven't been able to spend half the time I wish I could on the game,Wow, I'm terrible... I went 1-2. My losses were to CO Sonya (barely) and INF Scorpion who went on to win the tournament.
What kills me is that i lost to things that i shouldn't have and if i had more time with the game i would have done better. I won literally every MK9 tournament locally since it came out and i am very disappointed in myself.
This tournament told me something though... float gimmicks will be a thing forever like cutter.
Is it in fact changing? Or...yeah, the patch notes are wrong. The damage hasn't changed.
Royal Storm Lift is a good option. Safe at max range in most cases.Is there a safe option she can use that beats backdash?

What about some offline combos?After a knockdown you can...
1. predict wakeup and try to blow it up. Maybe block and punish, neutral jump over it, ect. The solution depends on the wake up. If their wakeup loses to jumping it's a good idea to jump up, float and then look for wakeup. If they woke up then drop down and bop them on the head with a njp. If they didn't land with a njp or njk and get adv.
2. Walk up to them and throw, b+2 or b+3. b+2 is the least reward but the nice thing is it can catch them trying to jump out. For throw and b+3 you have to guess if they're going to delay wake up or not.
3. Go into b+1,4 mixups.
4. Run away and zone. Seriously, if you have the life lead this can be the best option.

Conpletely agree I always go back to her even tho I've tried out some other characters. Winning is so satisfying since I worked so hard for itIve mained kitana since day 1 and i love her play style. ive tried using other characters but its just not the same, she may not be the best but i dont mind losing with her because i feel she always has a chance. ive noticed for me at least shes a rhythm character meaning if you can get in the groove you can really control the match. how many of you guys are riding the kitana coaster till the end?
