Tech Kitana Kombo Thread

[KH_Captain]

i dont figure out how to deal 45% combo as punishing ermac, scorpion teleport or smoke
anyone can help me plz

don't punish em with f21 while they are still somersaultin in the air the f2 needs to hit them right as they come down to earth or it will consider them in the air and it won't work

 

[salvificblood]

I like f21, 3 fan, 4 lift, b2 iaf, fan, 4 cutter for 40% as a fairly easy staple.

 

[RTM2004]

What is a good njp combo starter for Kitana which prevent jumpers and cross-up attempts?

njp, Back2~Fan or njp, 4/2~Fan combo starters?

njp, Back2~Fan or njp, 4/2~Fan combo starters?

NJP, dash, 4~fan, dash~2~lift, dash x2, b2~fan, dash, fan, dash, 4~cutter for 37%

 

[Konqrr]

NJP, b2af, fan, 2 or 4fan, 2 or f2cutter for 38-41%

 

[Salad Petresky]

Can you guys give me kitana bnb for air to air punch? and anti air 2 and 3? thanks guys
The thing i found out about air to air, dash, 2 fan throw is that sometimes 21 comes out.... its so dumb

 

[CompletelyJaded]

Need a very damaging combo off of both starters for online purposes, and an AA combo if possible please?

3, fan, 2~air lift, back+2, air fan, ground fan, 2, cutter.

Meterless.

For this combo:

51% - f+2,1, NJP, 4~Fan Toss, 4~Fan Lift, ff, ff, b+2~Air Fan Toss, Fan Toss, 4~d,f+2 (bob)

I can't hit the 4~fan lift part. I can connect with 4 but the fan lift part always whiffs. Do I need to dash?

It depends on when you did the 4~Fan whether you need to dash or not. If the Fan Lift is whiffing, you are doing the 4 too late. It definitely takes practice.

Also, due to nerfs, this combo only does 45% now.

Ah ok thanks. Would you recommend dashing before 4~fan? Seems like if I do this then I'm really close but I've still not gotten it yet. And is this the bnb to use (meterless) if you get a JIP?

I always dash first, if you do it right, you don't have to dash before 4~Lift. Watch videos and keep trying to mimic them, that's what helps me anyways. And yes, this is the best meterless midscreen combo you can do. There's a better (and more difficult) corner combo you can do meterless, but it's like trying to remember a phone number... I have to get a controller in my hand and do it to remember it lol

Ninja edit: That Taylor Swift sig makes me lol and want to punch her at the same time.

 

[VIDA]

You shoulkd def dash before 4~fan, I found recently that if I buffer the dash thats when I mess it up. Just waith for her to land from the NJP first before dashing and wait for the opp char to fall a lil and then 4~fan. If you hit them high enough you can 4 lift without moving everytime.

If you really want you can just replace 4~fan lift with dash up 2~fan lift. whether you catch the 4~fan high or low it will hit everytime. U only lose 2% from the combo as whole if you do this.

As for her best jip? Id say if you know its gonna hit yes. However if your just making her jip, use f4,1 or 2,1 off a jip to hit confirm into a f2(or 4)~fan lift or a a straight fan lift respectively (if you dont wanna use meter). These are better cause then u can block conifrm into a cutter or just push back if they dont hit for better block strings.

The two combos if they hit off a jip (meterless) would be:

jip, 2,1~fan lift, dash (then space yourself), b2~af, ff, fan, ff, 4~cutter (forget how much damage, think about 38%)
jip, f4, 1, f2 (or 4 for extra 1%)~fan lift, ff, ff, b2~af, ff, 4~cutter 41-43%

Hope this helped.

jsut found it interesting that the fan toss cant be blocked when it looks like it can be, so i thought id share if noone knew. studied this few nights ago.

Why would you do that though?
21 ex fan does more damage
you're better off doing f2+1 and being on -1, than wasting a bar of meter, even though you're a few frames on +

true, but again it was just a good find, i got lots more in my noggin. just happen to be learning her right now.

If you want to use a move that is guaranteed on the ground for a setup, don't use ground fan, use cutter. 21~ex fan, jp~33~cutter, [blocked] jp~21~cutter is around 37% and builds back more than half of the bar you used AND you are just outside of poke range where you can blow up any attacks they might try to hit you with. You don't have to use jp~21~cutter either, you can do whatever you want and you have forever to do it.

If you do land a ground fan though, go for f21 or 21 if you are close enough because they have to block it or eat a combo. Once they start respecting that, you get a throw when ground fan hits and that opens up a whole other chapter of setups.

wanted to show off some in the lab combos ive been working on. there are some errors included cuz editing was tight, but i wanted opinions on the actual combos done, and how to improve. not learning her much now, but i feel i could have potential with the combo queen lol. oh, and watch on mute if you dont like the music, cuz i enjoy music on my videos.

Nice man! Some flashy stuff there! I really like the ones that include her string.. I forget, but you can see it around 5:16.

yo fuck kitana's xray scaling

i just realized yesterday that a 1 bar f41 combo in the corner does the same damage as a more difficult f21 xray combo in the corner

f21, njp, 4 fan, 4 lift, (back up) fan, b2 fan, fan, jk xray - 51% (54 w/ jip)
f41, b2 fan, fan, b2 fan, 2 ex fan, fan, 333 cutter - 51% (54 w/ jip)

Why would you waste meter to get 51% in the corner?

f41, b2af, fan, b2af, 2cutter, 333cutter. You can do 333cutter where 2cutter is for another 2-3% as well.

OR you can go for the ridiculously easy:

f41, b2af, 4fan, 333cutter, 2cutter (or 333cutter).

One meter 57% corner combo:

jps~f2~ex fan, backdash, jps~f41, b2af, fan, ff~b2af, ff~2cutter, 333cutter

I was mostly talking about damage scaling because i thought that was funny lol. But thanks for that last one I wasn't aware of that. But I mean, if I'm going to kill why not use meter?

 

[BillStickers]

Are there any rules of thumb for when a lift will continue a combo vs. drop the opponent, and are there any times when an EX lift continues a combo but normal lift doesn't?
