I always end fan nado combos with fan nado for oki. She doesn’t really have enders in this variation lol. Gut slice switches sides and leaves her upclose, which is something fearless doesn’t want. Low amp fan is a lame ender imo.
I am not certain if this combo is optimal or not, but I do b+1,4 xx fan-nado, jumping kick xx EX aerial fan toss, f+2,3 xx d,f+2, which hits as krushing blow or can be saved. As Edmund stated, you can get full-screen positioning if you end combos with b+1,4,2, but you do less damage.
Nobody is going to beat Sonic Fox at the counter-picking game. Besides, Cetrion is so good that Dragon may not have a reason to invest more time into Kitana, but I thought both he and Semiij looked very uncomfortable using Highborn at ECT.
There is no downplay. It’s just not as good as highborn.
This.
I'm also on PC, and B2,3,1~Fan Lift works great. Are you using a wifi connection, or wired in? What's the ping in your matches? Are they laggy?
In general, I just dial it in. I do recall needing to wait a slight beat to make sure it's properly registered the 3,1, as if I go too fast sometimes I get B2~Fan Lift despite having done the full string. I've been doing it so long though that it's all automatic to me now.
It's actually in the regular Settings Menu, not specific to training mode. I think it's under Multiplayer or something, where you can change the ping display. I think.
Are you talking about fan lift specifically or fan-nado? Because Fan-nado doesn't combo off b231 unless you're in the corner
Dave is notorious for exaggerating how good or bad something is. It’s best to just smile and nod.
If she had faster low pokes and mid attacks, she would have better pressure and frame traps than most rush down characters.
I have already explained why razors are a great move and we have seen Highborn in the grand finals at ECT. You can choose to accept or ignore these facts.
Highborn is the best tournament variation and the best custom moves are also what is in Highborn (Half-Blood Stance and Edinian Razors).
Labbing this character, and bc I could not find this elsewhere:
The frame data is the same on the close (i.e., "in place") and far razors. You always want to use the far razors for combos. The only exception is b+3,4 xx close razors, 3,2 xx d,f+2 in the corner. You also want to use the far razors for block strings. Close razors can be used in block strings too, but they depend on the character (i.e., males versus females and even "breathing" hitboxes), the type of blocking (i.e., standing versus crouching), and the spacing (i.e., the range where Kitana's initial hit makes contact with the opponent). When executed properly, the first hit of the razor hits, the second whiffs while the third hits. This gap can be used to bait and punish low pokes in between the first and third razor. The opponent can backdash the third razor, though. Finally, you can use d+3 xx close razors to bait and counter certain retaliations such as low pokes and throws, but you can be punished if your opponent decides to wait and not press any buttons.
As I have explained before, the slow normal attacks are a necessity because of razors. As far as anti-aerial attacks are concerned, she has d+2 and d+3. Besides, she can play outside of jump kick range because of a great projectile and a long-range normal attack. To me, the fan toss has not been toned down. The upward hitbox is still present and catches jumping opponents more so than any other grounded projectile.
I respect your opinion. I think Fearless is good but gimmicky. People are not yet flawless blocking EX fan toss and they are getting hit by jumping kick xx twist. I know I am. A lot too. LOL. The only match up in which Fearless may perform better is against Sub Zero's slide variation, and I genuinely believe even this point is debatable.
Thanks. Do you have any video on youtube or something demonstrating this? Appreciate the reply.
