"You play weird" It's called being unorthodox ;)
This is so wrong. And I also find it funny how people keep thinking Kitana wins the Lao MU hahahahahahaha People need to forget about that 13-0 when thinking about that MU.
Sorry bud.

I can only speak for myself but i tend to fight uphill against, sub-zero, quan, shinnok, and pred hands down. But shes a beast, when I do lose I can pinpoint why.

Please remember this is Assasin. She loses the best counter zoning tool (this is why she can get outzoned so badly, unlike Royal Storm who is free to throw fans because people are afraid that if they throw anything back, they have to block their own stuffs) and an amazing safe whiff punisher, to get nothing. Her parry (7 frame. NRS, why 7 frame?) and sharpen are useless. Assasin rush doesn't have much use in a match other than a combo enders, for like 1% more damage and oki setup (which synergizes with Assasin playstyle as a rush down, but that's because Assasin can't OUTZONE people so she has to rush down)[/QUOTE

not going to harp on sharpen -_- , but THIS.... fully agree also think your numbers are accurate

Sorry but I disagree with most of your numbers
VS THE TOP TIERS
Kitana vs Quan Chi (any variation) 4/6, possibly 3 -7 vs Summoner (the broken). Got outzoned very badly. His d1 looks so much like hers, unfortunately it's 6 frame
Kitana vs Kung Lao (Tempest) 4/6. Got raped upclose. From full screen away, Kung Lao ducks fan and throw mid hitting projectile (hats) back, what is she gonna do about it? Probably cry, or switch to Royal Storm
Kitana vs Shinnok (any variation) 4/6. Same as above, except his has 8% high projectile
Kitana vs Tanya (any variation) 4/6. Got raped upclose
VS THE A+ TIERS
Kitana vs Predator (HQT) 3/7 (others) 4/6. Got outzoned too hard
Kitana vs Tremor (any variation) 4/6
Kitana vs Cassie (any variation) 4/6
Kitana vs Dvorah (Swarm Queen) 4/6
Kitana vs Cage (any variation) 5/5, probably 4/6 against A-list. Since when Cage is A+ tier?
VS THE A TIERS
Kitana vs Sonya 5/5 against CO and 4/6 against the other two.
Kitana vs Erron Black (any variation) 4/6. 3/7 against Gunslinger. Assasin has no answer for Gunslinger's zoning
Kitana vs Kotal Kahn (any variation) 6/4. The first thing I agree
Kitana vs Sub Zero (Grand Master) 4/6 (others) 5/5
Kitana vs Scorpion (any variation) 5/5
Kitana vs Jax (any variation) 4/6. Probably 3/7 against Heavy weapon. She can't do much about rocket launch
Kitana vs Kung Jin (Bojutsu/Shaolin) 5/5
VS THE A- TIERS
Kitana vs Liu Kang 5/5 against Flamefist because of ex rising blade. 3/7 against Dragonfire because she got outzoned too hard and got overwhelmed by his run cancel pressure
Kitana vs Takeda (all 3) probably a 5/5. He just got buffed remember?
Kitana vs Reptile (any variation) 5/5. Possibly 4/6 against Deceptive, as Reptile community is saying
Kitana vs Kano (Cyber) 5/5 (others) 6/4. Not sure about this.
Kitana vs Raiden (Master of storm) 5/5 (others) 4/6. Got raped by Thundergod. Displacer has safe teleport to instantly get in and win pressure game upclose.
Kitana vs Ermac (MOS) 5/5. The unsafe god....good thing is Ermac can be punished really hard and Assasin damage is 1-2% better than Royal Storm
VS THE B TIERS
Kitana vs Kenshi (any variation) 5/5 ***I will go by what most people told me on how to aproach Balanced***. This is true. Kenshi is terrible
Kitana vs Mileena (any variation) 5/5. I also main Mileena but it's very hard to comment about this matchup (or any Mileena vs mid tier matchups). She's the unsafe queen, sometimes she yolo roll and wins, sometimes she yolo too much and dies. She can actually stay safe and wait for other unsafe characters to suicide, and some of her tools are very annoying to deal with.
Kitana vs Jacqui (full auto) 4/6. Jacqui just got buffed.....
Kitana vs Ferra/Torr (any variation) 6/4
VS THE C TIERS
Kitana vs Goro (any variation) 7/3
Kitana vs Jason (Relentless) 5/5 (others) 7/3. Not sure about this

You might be very bad with Kitana if you think 7 frame parry is bad, she conditions so many rushers with it you might be amazed, I got a GREAT training buddy that plays Cassie and Sonya on full potential, and hes afraid of going hamm on Kitana up close for the parry, maybe you dont know how to fight Lao this match is not hard, Jaqui is crap up close vs Kitana, Also got a good Raiden partner that plays very well, he is also afraid of the parry up close f1 is high and the rest of hes atacks are slow as fuck, now lets go agains Swarm Queen, Kitana out zones her, she cant just duck and come in bause of AS not being easy to react uness its full screen, and a nice strat here or agains any zone able character is doing a small run and throw a fan to fake out the AS, it works wonders believe me, people tend to block the fan, Kung Jin stands no chance in life beating Kitana this match has been in her favor since day 1 he has a float jump and bad movement speed, Tanya loosing to Kitz is a known fact, cant go hamm on her because of parry and Xdb2, Shinnok Impostor: 1 teleport = he eats 30% from Xdb2 combo, full screen zoning is in Kitanas favor, mid range game is where she suffers, better buttons up close, and maybe MAYBE she looses the BoneSharper matchup, and Im just good reacting vs Xsparks. and maybe she looses to Summoner Quan 4/6 , but she can allways XAS for 19% and her buttons up close are good. Cage is 5/5 he has to respect zoning and parry up close. If you do play Assassin Id tellyou improve your reactions and reads.

She is most deservingly in need of an OH. It's only fair. Mournful's armored semi-safeness and RS counter zoning fullscreen lockdown(HQT/SUMMONER). It's fair. I mean shit guys come on..Mournful even has the benefit of an overhead projectile. Instant Ex Air Glaive are the fluffin truth. Ask GM. Assassin Is ASSASSin.
