Yea fan fare is still trash lol. They keep “buffing” the wrong shit.
Highborn is still supreme.

Well, most of the buffs seem to be quality of life changes. How would you buff Fan-Fare? If I recall correctly, someone mentioned making gut slice safe on block to function similarly to Geras's big fist in New Era and Eternal. I like this idea, which would improve block pressure and chip damage potential. Gut slice is presently worthless outside of combos and still whiffs after certain strings on female characters. Even if buffed universally, this change would have little to no significance to Highborn as you would still end all strings with razors anyway.
I'm going to keep saying this until I die. Kitana NEEDS faster mids, at least a faster B1. Look at spawn, his mids are slow (13 and 16) and he is slow in general..BUT his mids have much more range than kitanas and are much easier to whiff punish with.
In my opinion, fanfare is very very very match up dependent.
Life with Highborn is even better now that Upgraded Jacqui has been normalized.
She does not. She needs better special moves in Fan-Fare (and Fearless to a lesser extent). Faster mid attacks would make Highborn the best character in the game. Besides, Cetrion and Johnny Cage are top tier characters without any fast mid attacks., but they have excellent special moves that serve multiple functions. Kitana in Fan-Fare does not.
Out of interest M2Dave - if you were to buff Fearless and Fan Fare to make them competitive with Highborn, what would be your adjustments?
Okay, I understand your point. But how would that be done? Make booty safe on block?
For Fan-Fare, I would begin with the gut slice adjustment that I discussed in my previous post so the move can be used in block strings like Geras's big fist in New Era and Eternal. An adjustment for more consistent combos and juggles on female characters would be beneficial too.
Making a move that travels half screen safe on block would not be a good change for the game whatsoever. I mean, Fan-Fare would be much, much better, but she would completely crap on the neutral game and be very frustrating to fighting against.
You appear to be wrong here. They keep adjusting Kitana’s specials in both Fan-Fare and Fearless to little to no effect, why? Because of her normals. You mention both Cage and Cetrion as examples of characters without fast mids that have specials that make up for this, and while that is accurate, the normals they do have are quite good.
I firmly disagree because they have mostly been fixing and putting Kitana's special moves in line with other special moves instead of buffing. I am very appreciative of all the adjustments and changes that NRS developers have granted to Kitana. However, EX fan hitting mid? Such is the case with most traditional EX projectiles in the game. Fan lift can no longer be broken away from? Characters with similar special moves (i.e., Cetrion, Geras) have had this property since day one. Royal protection getting a couple of buffs? Good! So the move goes from worthless to serviceable. Even Highborn mostly received fixes to razors, which used to have all sorts of hitbox issues and inconsistencies.
Yes because the fundamental issues with the character have not been addressed. But, that doesn't mean that me and the general kitana community isn't happy about the buffs.You Kitana mains are starting to annoy even me, also Kitana player. Feels like no matter what they do you'll never be happy. You got EXACTLY what you wanted, unbreakable nado and less damage scaling from it. It's been a week and you guys are already discussing new potential buffs.
It's just funny to me. I agree with you, I even said breakaway buff is not the buff Kitana mains want but they insisted like it's the buff she needs the most. That's exactly what they got. You asked for the wrong buffs and they listened. Deal with it now.
It appeared as a reward in a very specific Tower a few weeks back. That's how I unlocked it.
