So Wonder Chef posted a video detailing a 40% blockstring with Kitana that involved using f112 xx rising fan xx MB float j2. It was supposedly inescapable. Not sure if this was posted, but there is a punish to the blockstring.


By crouch blocking the rising fan, float j2 will not connect. From what I understand, this punish isn't possible with some characters, unless I'm mistaken. But experiment, and see what you can do.

For bigger hit box characters like F/T you have to block low on the last 3(?) hits to scoot her far enough away. I might be mistaken though

Yes this was talked about the minute chef posted it.

It's kinda a double edged sword tho. If you're crouch blocking, she can delay the jp and then it becomes an OH, and then you get hit, then Kitana starts her game

Best way to avoid it is either armor or backdash if you're midscreen.

Reptile slides it for free anyway. So HAHA. #DontSleepOnSyzoth

I tested against cassie..she cannot be jailed by the whole string..flip or backdash is always guaranteed
I've tried against male characters and I can jail them easily so it's not a timing issue..still, if someone have better execution and wants to test it it'd be welcome

you can backdash too, but I like the corner one @wonderchef found... in open space even kitana herself can backdash it, or if ur not confident in that just armor her (u spend 1 bar for her 2, not too bad
