I do as well. She is one of the only characters that the old oki game works on, which means on untechable(jik air throw) knockdown she can eat an easy 20-40% combo or if a F3 lands he can reset the situation again. Knives can stop her from fanning all day. He can take her air control away with upball. At max range she can only punish upball with a poke which becomes hard due to strict timing when he falls. she has the advantage with footsies obviously but up close they both have things they can use. Kitana has her 21 cutter and Kano has his b11, 11 2,1 into choke which builds him meter for breaking her combos or knocks Kitana down which allows Kano to go into the oki game. She cannot punish every option she has with 2,1 cutter LMAO. 2,1 is 15 frames, she could not even punish any of his full blockstrings with that.
Play Kevo's Cage and pick Noob. It's no way that match is even. Noob will only excel when cornering and zoning Cage, but it takes one wrong read he's in and your dead. UpKnee isn't enough to keep Cage honest once he's in.
I played Showtime's.
Please explain to me how this match is even? Maybe you know something I don't.
I personally won't say he out zones her but the trade off is in his favor 9% vs 6 or 8. He can always get a knife out where as she can have a spot where she can't. Just saying.
I agree, but Kano's zoning is so average that it is irrelevant. He cannot really stop Kitana from being where she wants to be. She can d+1 under each knife and approach him at mid range, where she has a huge advantage as her normals out-range his. Also, she does almost twice as much damage as Kano after any combo, AA, deep jump kick, etc. Kano only wins this match up online, where upballs are unpunishable and he can get away with jumping.
Kitana can easily get projectile advantage on Kano and start to outzone him. His damage on it is better but that's not going to matter if I'm playing keepaway and he has to come to me.
why would he come to you?? actually dave explained it best as to of why shes better and hes right ~ 6-4 kitana
You've hurt my feelings
Jump over a knife, fan, start iaf'ing. I do it all the time unless the lag's terrible.
Fullscreen anti-air knifeball tech wins the zoning war
my favourite combo in the game.Assuming both players arent completely retarded and throw projectiles 24/7, the Kano player has advantage in the projectile war, he does more damage, is faster and can combo for 20% if he catches Kitana in the air from a distance.
