Kitana General Discussion

IceNine

Tired, But Strong
I'd certainly like for that to be a detail, but at the same time they didn't bother with any differences for revenant dialogue in the beta, so... I guess we'll see.

It surprises me that they went with the Mileena rip off moves. Mournful was controversial and disliked by the majority of players. Before the trailer dropped, fans were VERY vocal about her not copying Mileena's moves in MK 11. Usually NRS listens to feedback... this time they REALLY didn't.

I like Kitana as Kitana - she has such a rich set of moves that there is no need for her to borrow from other characters. I hope fake Mileena is not in one of her official variations.

This dream has a sad ending
I don't know why people are still so up in arms against kitana's half blood stance! It's actually gonna make her really fun

  1. Mileena's sai is gonna be so helpful for zoning especially as an anti-air and she can get fans after
  2. Okizeme off of the sai especially if she has float is gonna lead to dirty mixups(actually i'm a little unsure how good that low starter is)
  3. Teleport kick into fan(nuff said)
  4. Her sai crushing blow is basically going to be an amazing combo extender and shouldn't be that hard to get considering everything
I'm actually super excited about this

I don't think people are debating whether it will be fun - it is the fact that they want Kitana's moves to be fully original rather than other characters moves / visuals.

Kitana is an icon of the series and has a long history of great fan based special moves to draw from. You wouldn't give Scorpion an ice ball, so why give second hand moves to Kitana?

I don't think he was necessarily "happy" about it, but he does get a kick out of trolling people who spam him over & over again. They deserved this tweet tbh because they've threatened him and stuff. Some of them are even making accounts just to boycott the company and the game. I understand wanting your favorite character in the game (& it's easy to say this when you actually get your favorite characters in), but it's a fighting game. PPL act as if they're entitled to always get what they want. It's not like SCV to where they completely removed popular characters & then they had to do a soft reboot to the series to get their core base back into believing in them. Mileena has missed out before. This is also why you don't get attached to just one character in fighting games & enjoy them for the gameplay aspects, not just 1 character. There's multiple. :cool::p

Bomb Setups & Ball Rolls(Mileena/Cyrax)
Kitana Frame Data on some of her moves:

Disclaimer:
It may not be 100% accurate maybe a frame or two off because I used a program to slow it down frame by frame on her gameplay Breakdown and it's being converted at different fps.
With that said let's get to it:

Normals:
  • Her normal that looks like an overhead fan swipe into a low kick which I'm sure is a mid on first hit starts up in 11 frames.
  • Her low starter is 13 frames startup. (Unreactable)
  • B1 (Mid) 12 frames startup, good range, many strings come off of this.
  • D1 (Mid) 6 frames startup. Good range.
Specials:

  • Fan Toss: (High) 13-14 frames startup.
  • Fan Lift: (Mid) 25-31 frames startup.

Still analyzing the rest of the moves, kinda hard with the gameplay being in a different format and I'm using my phone to do all of this! If I can accurately determine more of her moves startup I'll post them here.

Si apparently the second variation of hers is exactly what they showed in the stream... half blood stance and that triple fan stance
