Kitana

 

[StormGoddess]

It's probably stating the obvious, but Kitana's gear slot is her fans.

 

[Nomoreedenia]

Weird af that we cant have an unmasked Kitana.

But, tbh, I was expecting the mask to be the gear, and not the fans.

 

[Benlo]

Surprised too there is no mask customization for the ladies.

No maskless so, except with a specific skin.

A "mask on/off" option for male and female ninja could have been a good idea : /

 

[xWildx]

Maybe they’ll have a button you can press that takes off the mask in the day one patch. Who knows. I’ve always enjoyed them with the masks on, but I feel for y’all.

I read Kitana got some buffs in the new patch! Anybody who got early access can let us know what's changed since beta?

They made ex fan nado into its own move called fancy flick. It still launches like ex fan nado if you ex it.

So it's a grounded anti-air fan then? Interesting. Cool of them to split that off.

It gives you a fake ground bounce if you hit them mid air but I’ve only been able to combo with cameo from it

Was playing kombat league and when I won they automatically did a fatality for me. Idk if it’s a glitch or just a secret thing because it’s not unlocked in my move list. I watched the replay with inputs on too.

I'm just gonna guess that they used an easy fatality token

Cyrax might be my favorite kameo for Kitana.

Waiting for people to post combos lol. I am no good at coming with those.

The best moves seems to be B24 and F24. I am not sure if anything else is used. Her B4 is VERY long sweep, pretty nice. She has no dirt though, basically it's all about the footsies, I don't mind to be honest.

Kitana’s 11 is such a good shimmy / bait string, and it’s plus!!!!

honestly loving her in this game, pairing her up with Sektor for juicy oki and plus frames with missiles is soooooo goooood

 

[DarksydeDash]

Sektor rocket feels really stronger with her. I've had instances where the opponent jumped out of the fan trap, only to get smacked by a rocket and land into it for a combo. Its so sick.

I literally just started labbing her with Sektor and I like it alot.. I think Sareena will be my main but the Kitana/Sektor shell is crazy

 

[xWildx]

Kitana + Scorpion. I’m gonna call it, “Fanning the Flames.” lol

Anyway, Scorpion seems pretty good with her. His yank allows her to escape a negative block string (since we all loving spamming 2412), his fireballs allow her to combo off of 112 (something that is oddly important to me), and her low starter with ease. Then you can add his combo starter to the mix to save your lift for relaunches.

I haven’t experimented much in the corner yet, but I’d say they work pretty well together.

Yes I’ve been using this combo everyday. It’s great. 39% meterless every conversion!

 

[Arqwart]

Frost has been fun to utilize, but I think I'll be dropping her starting tomorrow. Having 0 ambush assists is looking to be a deal breaker as it means no combos off 112 and no complementary screen coverage while zoning. Got all the kameos unlocked as of tonight so will peruse while labbing tomorrow.

Thinking maybe Scorpion and Sonya to start out. Will go from there.

 

[ItsOri]

I like her alot.

working on a pressure concept getting an assist to cover the gap between a blockstring on block and her fancy flick (db3) which looks like it's a plus on block mid.

like this

 

[Hot_DNA]

what is the main string that most people using so far? 112?

 

[DarksydeDash]

Goro and Kitana seem insane together, but I'm really enjoying Scorpion
