Question - Kitana Buff that Booty or Love that Booty

[BigMacMcLovin]

What's up Kitana community and general thread wanderers of TYM?

I had a brief typing exchange with some fine gentlemen on twitch earlier on about whether Kitana needs buffs.

So now I'm curious as to what the world thinks...

 

[ragnar0kz28]

she is such a fair character in this game, if they buff her I take all I can get, if not, I woulnt be mad, she doesnt get destroyed badly by anyone besides HQT predator, she looses to GM sub, DF Liu, and Alist Cage, she goes even with lots of characters tho.

 

[LucaTheRipper]

Buff which ''booty'' exactly?
I'd say buff her face first if this is the subject.

 

[gam224]

Just make her Assassin strike an overhead. So in that case buff that ass not that butt. Other than that she's fine.

Hahaha it's hard to see what you did there with her jaw-line in existence

She is more vaible since the last update. Kitana Prime can answer this better if you tag him. She was horrible in the beginning but way better now.

Yeah she was my main in MK9 so naturally I mained her first in X but she started out as a horrible character so I moved on just after the first patch.

@Kitana Prime views/opinions?

Thats not how you cream pie, bro

My only gripe with her is that she still doesn't have a real rush down variation. It makes certain match ups real tough (HQT) which is something she needs in one variation. The way I see it just make assassin strike an overhead, it will be like kano ball to cybernetic, it's unsafe but can open people up.

Kitana sucks

Just no! No! And no.

Assassin suppose to be her rush down, but most online play her like regular fan throwing MK9 Kitnana. NRS didnt really make her rush down varient any diferent from Royal Strom. I feel Mournful is her strongest due to those mids.

This characrer is SO honest. And I'm not being sarcastic.

I personally am OK with the way royal storm and mournful turned out. They compliment each other well with one having better anti zoning and meter less damage and the other having mid projectiles and safe armour. That's why i'm confused as to why she doesn't have any overhead in assassin. It would finally allow her to take the offensive in the match ups where she can't zone. It would give you a reason to play all 3 variations.

 

[Kogia]

Agree with most of what's been said so far.

She's solid, but Assassin needs an overhead. It's not got anything to really make it more in your face offensive, which it should be to be more of the rushdown variation.

Her chin is bad and only salvaged by wearing her mask.

 

[Northern Slasher]

If every character was as balanced as Kitana, i'd have 2 Xbox controllers instead of 1.

 

[Landonio]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[Tinkerbell]

Neither. Scale down the damage from fans, increase startup time, decrease the meter gained from each one.

 

[xxFalcon Loverxx]

Please, bruh. You've gotten the buffs of your dreams. Just stahp.

 

[exflyingbooty]

Neither. Scale down the damage from fans, increase startup time, decrease the meter gained from each one.

stop jumping so much

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Lol stop saying assassin needs an overhead she doesn't need anything.

 

[Espio]

Can people please stop trying to turn Kitana into a cookie cutter character? Part of her appeal is her honest gameplay. Assassin strike being an overhead would be insanely stupid. For a zoner, her up close game is really good with legit frame traps and her down 3 grants potential strings and throw mix ups on hit. It's okay if she has hard match ups.

Noooooo. She doesn't need an overhead. If you wan't to fight up close use 21, 1, D3, B12, strings into ex sharpen, ex fan, parry and grab. Mix it up. Assassin might be her best variation she doesn't need an overhead.... never has.

 

[gam224]

Kitana doesn't need an overhead huh? why does every single other character in the cast have a command grab run cancel or 50/50 in the game. She shouldn't be flawless but she needs a fighting chance against characters that outzone her. As a liu (as well as a kit) this match up is a piece of cake. You zone, wait for her to come in and try and frame trap you/ throw you. If you get thrown it's back to the zoning game which you win (and she can't keep up the pressure after her throw) or she can eat pressure. THIS IS NOT OK
