Don't know if this is new but i found 2 interesting combos.

39% meterless in the corner: F112 > fan > 4 > 1 > B12/F33 > lift > jik > fan > jik > delayed fan > instant air fan > 111 > throat slice.

48% meterless corner with assassin buff active: F112 > fan > 4 > 1 > F11 > lift > jik > fan > jik > delayed fan > 111 > assassin run.

Perhaps better damage is possible using standing 4 after F112?

Edit: You can do F112 > fan > 4 > 3 > fan > 21 > lift but it's an EXTREMELY difficult combo. It causes the above combos to deal VERY slightly more damage. I can't manage to hit 49% off of F112 with sharpen active without using meter. It might hit 49% if you do the 48% combo starting with the extremely difficult start and an instant air fan at the end, but that's absurdly difficult and maybe even impossible.
its extremely difficult to connect s4 after f112 fan, if you want to hit those 48% - 39% with smaler drop ratio try something like: sharpen - f112 fan, step back, f11 lift, jik fan, jik fan, s3 db3 = 48%

39% meterless = f112 fan, step forwards, s3, s3 lift, jik fan, jik, db2 njp, s3 fan, 111 bf3 or f112 fan, jik, f3 fan, s3 lift, jik fan, jik db2 njp, s3 fan, d3 bf3. And them are much much easer to perform then f112 fan s4.

if you really want to use s4 in your combos try to do it after the lift for example: jip, b14 lift, s4, s3 fan, jik fan, jik db2 njp, s3 fan, 11 db3 = 42%

after lift you can use ex sharpen into F1, 21 fan for optimized damage:
[midscreen] B14 lift, sharpen, F1, 21 fan, jump kick fan, F11 assasin strike. Forgot the damage
well sharpened fan only does 8%....buff Kitana please make it 9% :DOGE

Kitana does 49% in assassin with ease


F112 fan, f112 fan, d1 lift, d2, d1 assassin strike
what's the best 2 bar cornered non sharpen combo? It might come in handy in some situations (NEC 16 Grand Final the reset round for example :) Sonic Fox had 2 bars but he didn't know how to optimized the damage)

Idk I don't really use 2 bar combos unless I hit with ex rising blades.

I would assume it's something like b14 ex fan, b14 fan, 3 ex fan and then take it from there

You can land a b14 exfan f33 fan f33 exfan d1/d3 lift into air kicks etc. I experimented a bit looking for an effective way to use 2 bars in the corner and this was the opener that got me the most damage

here is some corner combos leading into ...u24, db2, jbp (jbk,njp,njk,jip,jik) set up


Only smoke can get out free, besides him in worst case your opponent can escape it with armor or tech roll into normal low profile move (mileenas ball, subs slide etc, anyway jbk, njp, njk beats all normals), on read after jbp hit you can block most of armor moves, high ones or oh you can try to break with d3, d1, s3, with jbk instead of jbp you can make most armors wiff.

if l missed something, let me know ;)

Hey, guys! Any tips on how to execute b14~exFans micro run cancel.
I can do it, but only about 10-20% of the time. Want to improve consistency.

There isn't really any tricks or anything like that to do it. You just run. It's muscle memory tbh. Keep working on it and you'll get it without even trying

You will never get it consistently without a LOT of practice and you will likely have to keep practicing it to not lose the ability even then. If you're a casual player I wouldn't consider going for it unless you happen to be good at it.

Try to start with njp s3 s3xxfan instead of f33xxfan, if l remember right it should lead to 39%

Uh the first combo in the RS video isn't the most optimal option from 11, that only gives 31%. 11~lift, F43, F43, 21~fan, jk~fan, dash, instant air fan, run cancel~3~BF3/DB3 is 32%. I'll update if I find any more that can be further optimized :)

Never said it was the most optimal, did I?

And no one does that combo because it's not the most easy on the hands. An OPTIMAL combo is a combo that's the most realistic. But have fun finding some super execution heavy combos that'll almost never be used, especially from the pros :)

*facepalms* Actually, you did say it was optimal. And implying that combo is "super execution heavy" is hilarious. Please actually go practice the combo and you'll see it's more than viable and "pros" could easily do this in matches. I don't know why you're being so defensive about me finding a higher damaging combo, I'm just trying to help here lol.

I said it was optimal, not the most optimal. Optimal just means it's just the most useful in the situation. Of course I know Kitana can do more damage than that but the combos I posted are the ones literally everyone can do 90% of the time. Those are the most useful.

You came in here implying I said these were the most and I never once said that. Then the combo you posted only does 1% more damage as if that even means anything, and it's a combo no one does.

"Optimal" and "most optimal" are the same thing though :confused: Anyone can do the combo I posted too 90% of the time, like I said it's not hard. Anyone who can run cancel can do this combo lol and as if noone doing this combo right now means anything lol. You're getting suuuuuuuper defensive about this man, it's a combo. Chillllllllll

Edit: If you're talking about the difference between "optimized" and "optimal" then consider my combo a further optimization on damage. That make sense?

it is a really hard combo
also, 11 cancel window is weird and hard to hit confirm. 111 is way easier to hit confirm
don't say you can do it 100% in the lab because in real matches it is different

It really isn't that hard a combo, the combo he does at 5:41 is way harder. It has THREE instant air fans in it but apparently that's a combo "literally everyone can do 90% of the time" and somehow mine is getting criticism for being a "super execution heavy combo that'll almost never be used, especially from the pros"?
I know the difference between doing something in the lab and in real matches, what do you think I did first once I found the combo?
