Question Best Kitana combos (meterless)

[Zato1984]

Hey guys, im starting using Kitana and i want to know your answers on some questions i have.

I want 2 Best Midscreen combos with different starts:

Best corner combo:

Best pressure strings: (i believe 2,1 cutter is good? if he blocks i can do D1 pressure to win advantage?)

I read some of your tips but im still confused about the best ones.

Thanks.

The one I always see Kitana players use online midscreen is:

jp, F2,1, njp, 4, Fan, 2, Fan Lift, B2~Fan, Fan, 4, Cutter

Thanks to reply. How much % is that? 40%? I don't think is safe to do a NJP online... 2 Fan lift is easy to connect online?

I don't remember but I think it might be 45% - I don't use that generic Kitana combo.

Midscreen -- f2, 1, njp, ff~4~fan, ff~4~lift, ff, ff, b2~fan, fan, 4~cutter -- 45% can be done online but very finicky. Njp and the 4 after it are most likely to whiff.
Midscreen -- f2, 1, b2~fan, fan, 4~cutter -- 36% very easy online
Midscreen -- f4, 1, 2~lift, jk~fan, fan, 4~cutter --30% or so I think
Corner -- f4, 1, b2~fan, 4~fan, 333~cutter, 333~cutter -- 54% (51% if the second group of 333s whiffs)

Best pressure strings: 112~cutter or 112~en:cutter, d1~cutter, d4~cutter, 212, and 2~cutter are probably best. Mix them up as you see fit.

Thanks, bro.

You can get 44% off a F4, 1 mid screen. It's something like f4, 1, f2 ~ fan, ff~2~lift ff, ff, b2~fan, fan, 4~cutter.

I can assure you, that does not work.

You can do f4,1, 4 lift, b2 fan, fan, 4 cutter

F2,1 Jp, 4 fan, 4 lift, dash dash, b2 fan, gfan, 4 cutter

How much %, Mr. Mill? Can i also replace gEx fan instead of normal to take more damage? Is it worthy?

if you do ex ground fan youre probably going to get 2-3% extra damage, which is not worth at all.

I think it's like 43% meterless.

How sure are you?

This was recorded pre-fan damage nerf so disregard damage. I can record again later.

im 100% sure because the dash nerf still was not effective in that patch/

Must be nice having 40%+ meterless midscreen combos.

Must be nice throwing mix up projectiles from across the screen.

 

[Wemfs]

Wanna trade?

 

[Mr. Mileena]

Wanna trade?

Yeah, I'd give up 15% damage for those two tools, let's see how effective noob is without projectiles and horrible normals.

 

[Wemfs]

You're right. It's a bad trade. How about I get your normals and your 40% meterless combos and you get the 50/50 projectiles.

Drop noob and pick up kitana if thats the case.

You can only do 2~fan 2~EX lift, but even then i dont think it lets you pull off a b2~fan followup; youd have to settle for a jump-in kick fan, which wont give you nearly 44%, making it not worth the meter burn.

^ exactly

My point is Kitana has more tools than Noob and you're trying to tell me that Noobs 50/50 projectiles, with HORRIBLE recovery, are better than having a 40% METERLESS midscreen combo. Isn't that what you're telling me? Or am I mistaken?

Must be nice throwing mix up projectiles from across the screen.

 

[Konqrr]

Dash nerf is a complete non-issue in Kitana combos with dash blocking double dash (ff~block~f)

 

[MortySeinfeld]

Which combos do the Kitana mains use from a jump kick xx fan starter (meterless and with meter)?

Found this but I'd have to double check for feasibility and actual damage output.

EDIT: What the video link notates is incorrect in terms of inputs, it should be
jk~AF, ff~4~fan, ff~2~fan, f2~cutter
