Do we have an execution-tutorial on the iAF anywhere for us noobs to learn from? (I've been trying dfbu1 and dfub1 both but no luck so far. Maybe it doesn't work on the xb1 pad?)
Canceling into parry is very unsafe, especially characters with advancing normals. Its better to block after a block string unless they respect the string and start doing other things afterwards such as b2 or throw. I actually made the move from Royal Storm to Assassin. Damage difference is huge.
How do you go about opening people up to actually combo them? Float baits?
It just takes practice, I have been using XBOX One pad and havent had any issues,
When would you use parry? If you have a block string that is punishable by jabs, and you know the opponent is going to punish you with it, it seems like a decent counter option.
It's probably unsafe because both of her parries take effing forever to become active. Rather, it seems that way.
How is the difference huge? It only seems huge to me with sharpen. And being so she has no mix ups you can't really get a combo after sharpen
Generally that would be the case, but wouldn't cancelling from a string negate a lot of the startup time on the parry?
I think it's mostly because of sharpen. I'm guessing there are some chances where you're guaranteed to get something off it, like using it after a lift. Also assassin impale does a lot of damage compared to the reversal options she has in RS (plus longer knockdown time means more oki setups).
Beats the hell out of me, to be honest. I guess there's really only one way to find out.
Pretty much what I did. But wait it's just a quick udf, no tiger kick input? Guess I'll do a quarter million of those then.
What OS are you talking about post b1?
I personally started to use Assassin. Float is usually good when jumping in a range that their d2 would connect. With Royal Storm, all about using fan throws and having them inch their way towards you. When you start noticing that they are ducking and in mid range, square boost will most of the time catch them off guard.
Its matchup knowledge really. If they can punish your 111/111+fan throw, try to mix up with 11 grab, b14, f22. I usually throw a fan then parry in mid range if I know they would advance. Parry works well if they have a teleport punch so its a mindgame within your fan throw game.
TBH, I feel that Kitana is best played long range with very good damage when you do open them up with a combo. Sharpen after a knockdown and make them hold fans for 6 seconds. Kitana building meter while they aren't is a pretty huge plus if you ask me.
You know, that is true. I can just use Sharpen from full screen and chuck fans. Extra damage (and chip damage) while building meter? Guess it's back to Assassin for me, lol. Well, I'll work with them both, to be honest. I suppose it will depend on the MU.
Whiff punishing with db3 with sharpen is the best feeling.
I rarely ever use db3. I think I used it once while in practice and a few other times on accident.
Learn to love it. Especially in Assassin variation.
