I can’t speak for anyone else, but I honestly don’t care how good she is. I just want her to feel like Kitana, and she doesn’t.
She’s boring though, Dave.
Obviously we want a good Kitana that plays like Kitana. If the only thing we cared about was how good she was then we could all just migrate to Liu or Geras.
Ewwwwwww
Just saying, her reveal trailer where she showed off these crazy fan combos is a lie. But man.. it looks sssoo cool
I'm sorry, when I see her Highborn variation all I see is Mileena, her playstyle is even Mileena like, her zoning is ok but what makes it good are the counterzoning options it has, this plays nothing like Kitana. Hell, not even Fan Fare plays like Kitana but at least she's not borrowing moves from dead bitches. If they would've made Fan Fare better everyone would be happy,no one gives a hell about Highborn, of course people will use it now but not because they think it's cool, I can bet you that and a lot of people like connecting with a character.
Bitch I'm not using it, ew
If you can't dance, you can't do nothing for me, baby.
The thing about Kitana is that she has always had a massive loyalist following - more than most characters. The vast majority of Kitana players want her to have a similar feel to how she has always played in every game rather than being top tier. Don't get me wrong... people still want a viable character, they just don't want to play a second rate Mileena or a character that does not feel like her.
Everyone, including me, has to accept the fact that certain characters play very differently in comparison to previous installments. Sub Zero has no ice clone so he plays significantly more offensive, Noob's tackle has limited use for zoning so he also plays considerably more offensive, Jacqui plays nothing like full auto Jacqui, etc. Each of these communities has stopped complaining and accepted the characters for what they are. The Kitana community ought to do the same.
The fan toss is worse in comparison to previous versions of the move. Likewise, Kabal's aerial buzzsaws are not as good as aerial gas blasts and Shang Tsung's hellsparks are not as good as Shinnok's. You keep subconsciously using prior Mortal Kombat games as a point of reference when Mortal Kombat 11 has its own meta and follows its own set of rules.
And remember that Noob was advertised as a "premier zoning character" and Shao Kahn as "Doomsday". LOL. NRS's labels almost mean nothing at this point.
This criticism is fair because the whole game lacks creativity and self-expression. When I watch Ninja Killer use Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat X, I know that he is playing because of the fancy combos and the consistent run cancels. In Mortal Kombat 11, I have no idea who is behind the controller because every Liu Kang player does around 20 f+4s, 10 1,2s, and 5 throws a round. The same formula applies to the vast majority of characters, including Kitana who uses razors for pressure and combos over and over again.
