Using parry is a READ. The risk reward is NOT in her favor

For crossups use ex rising blades but don't throw the command when they jump because the rising blades will go to the contrary side as you mentioned. You have to wait until they are on the other side and input the command on the opposite direction, they will probably hit you but you have armor and you combo so the trade is very much in your favor.
On the kotal match up I think Kotals forward advancing mids are too fast to react and the startup on parry is too slow to activate in time. Also parry won't work on jump ins and kotal has the best one in the game.
I got this as a Kitana Assassin winning matchup across all the variations, as for now since KP2 I can say Assassin beats Kotal, Cyrax (badly), Borracho, Outlaw Erron, Bojitsu Cum Jim, Jason, Kano (cutthroat), Lao (hat trick and tempest), I have improved in matchups she used to loose like Quan, Jax and Cage, I still feel that she looses to DF Liu, HQT Predator and LameMaster Sub. Any tips in this 3 matches? (all the above mentioned matches have been played extensively).
Never thought she lost your Kang. I use RS in that match just so I can anti zone. He doesn't really have a choice but to come in, especially if he's down on the life lead.
I dont like Morneful its just too crappy for me, I only play Assassin, Im so used to her amazing run, but yes I think RS could do good vs Liu, what do you use for Predator I need to improve in this MU, I use Cybersub and do good.
I use mileena against predator.
HQT, A-List, Mileena
I don't know anything about predator, i could see it with A-List, but mileena? I'd assume that match to be 5-5. Why is it in mileena's favor?
HQT, beaths kitana in general, LameMaster Sub beats Assassin and RS, Mileena piercing beats RS, Assassin can parry in the neutral to stop the b1 b12 in mid range, A-List could be, Iv played a very good A-List and we go back and forth. DF Liu beats Assassin bad, but RS seems to do fine, Im biased with Jax Kitana does very good in mid screen, but bad at the corner, I still have it as a 5/5 but I wouldnt mind if people tell me Assassin looses to Jax.
I think A-list is the worst match up for Kitana, besides HQT, imo.
I dont play RS but cant you outzone him?
That would be the only way I believe you have a chance of winning. But thing is many characters that aren't zoners have great pressure,mixups,etc. to deal with zoners, on the other hand kitana zones well but I'm starting to believe she's kinda weak in the rest of the areas, now I'm not good in any way and pretty new to mk since I retired 20 years ago from arcades Lol so I might be wrong about what I think of her. How about you? Are you good at blocking fast ass mixups?
good at blocking fast ass mixups ...god no! I think theres a post about defense right now but IMO this game isnt about defense , with Hard to blockables,psuedo blockables,50/50's, and command grabs ... and if you defend against all that and say your fighting kang, well guess what ? its still not your turn ,so try it again.
You must not know about Kotal's d4 then...
Tips for the MU? I get that my goal is to keep him away from me at all costs, especially against Sun God, but when he does get in, I just wind up in a corner getting normal'd and d4~command grab/overhead/low sword'd to death.
Block it then use you F1. Although it's 14f mid, Kotal's d4 is extremely minus on block so he must block it
What is it on block, do you know? Because I feel like when I do block his d4, I'm eating a d1/tick throw/overhead/low sword immediately following.
Frame data says it's -10 on block. Which variation of Kotal you usually fight against? If that's War god, try to fuzzy guard his OH/low sword. It's pretty hard but most of the time Kotal will go for OH because d4 already hits low. She can punish both OH/low sword easily with reversal BF3, she can also full combo punish with 21 but sometimes there's huge push back after OH/low sword so 21 won't reach. Just practice this. Against Sun god, try to read a tick throw to back dash or armor. Back dash after d4 is safer
