Create Your Third Variation

Hey Everyone!

I'm super curious to know what you would create as your character's third variation. Try to keep with the current convention of not reusing moves that are in other tournament variations.

Kitana - Twisted Empress
Low Fan Toss
Edenian Twist
Downward Fan Toss

EDIT: Marlow suggested naming it! Great idea.

@Eddy Wang Curious to see what your third variation would be ;)
The one you put its what i was using in the beta, which are her 3 strongest moves, i named it Kunoichi back then.

All other moves she has are boring and not really that interesting, like damage boost from blood rain, blood aura to defend and to turn her into a noxious version of reptile. Skarlet used to be techinical, and its really that hard to translate that with the current moveset ouside of frame traps that jail into combos or throws.

If you are really curious, i would give her:
Parry
Red Rain
Red Aura (If it didn't conflit with Blood Tentacle) But since it conflicts its a solid no.

Otherwise all of her others moves don't have much of an intersting combination

Blood Clot kills blood trail, which isn't worth it
Red Aura, kills blood tentacle which isn't worth it
all other bf4 moves are slow as hell and are not on sub-par with siphon or teleport
dbf1 which is the move we have on Heart Pierce is so trash we never know its there.

It's not the most efficient, but really different from the other two variations and centered around anti-zoning & spacing, while being able to whiff/block punish up-close for decent damage. Let me quote one of my posts in a Kano subforum:
Well, I gave Optic Blast+Bio-Pull+VegeMighty another try, and I really want it being tournament legal.
It has a really different flavour than Ripper and it could be a good option for some match-ups .

Some strenghts I've seen so far:
  • Decent zoning combining optic blast and up-kanoball (with vege-mighty).
  • Good anti zoning combining optic blast and Vege-Mighty (plus air-kanoball and F3, that he already has in his base move list)
  • He gains an 8 frames punisher with 11xxBio-Pull for a full combo.
  • Only one less KB than Ripper, being the new one very good (optic blast KB), better than the two we would lose.
  • Bio-Pull is a good whiff punisher and seems to have some potential as a positioning tool (I have used it to finish some combos into oki), but it would be better if it were a restanding.
  • Last but not least, it is very fun.
I have my fingers crossed in hope that NRS make it real.
EDIT: I name all my variations after songs. This one is named Built to Last.

And either punchwalk or the war banner charge, prob prefer the charge

Hed has limited combos but would have mix and access to damage within kbs of those abilities.

I want to make one for Raiden called "Staff Infection" focusing mainly on his staff based moves, but I can't figure out which ones to go with yet. But I got the name, which is obviously the only thing that matters.
