MK11 Kabal = MK9 Kitana
I land the combos online all the time, but I've done them so much that I don't go off what is happening on the screen lol
Yes, they are difficult... but with practice, you can do them anywhere... offline or on.

I agree, instead of timing button presses with whatever's going on the screen, I find it's a lot easier to do combos consistently by practicing them over and over until they get into your muscle memory and you don't really have to think when doing combos. The good thing about combos is that if you've already developed a rhythm for it, you don't really need any visual confirmation to pull it off past the first hit unlike resets and other mindgames.
That's the thing, though; Kitana's heavy-hitting combos are ALL about timing. Specifically, in f+2, 1, NJP, ff~4~df+1, ff~4~bb2, b+2~df+1, df+1~4~df2 (her 48% combo), the timing of the NJP and of the first 4+ground fan are *essential* to the success of that combo. I mean, if you're Konqrr, maybe, but I don't really think you can just mindlessly queue up that combo and it will automagically just unfold on the screen whenever the lag clears up.
You can TRY an uppercut, but Kitty's kinda sucks. The only things that work consistently for me are jump back kick if you anticipate the cross up, or x-ray (the startup hits pretty high above her). Kitana seems to fall apart when an opponent is on top of her.
Big grats Konqrr.
That's a good question, I'm having difficulty with the whole Kung Lao match up.
You have to really pay attention to when the string stops and react with d1 or jump back. You can interrupt him every time before he does another string but you have to be fast. Keep blocking and you will begin to see his patterns. Don't fear the spin, you block it and you get 48% every time.
wakeup buttslam works for me. Usually it won't actually hit, it'll just get you the fuck outta there. And as far as I can tell, she gets some invincibility on it as well.
What are you punishing with post-patch, and are we talking about crouching block punishment as well as standing block?
Her bnb in either stand or crouch block. With patch 1.02, you can take a nap and still punish the spin.
Awesome! I've had very little time to play these past few weeks. My PS3 doesn't have any of the updates on it because I haven't turned it on in close to a month.
