Kitana General Discussion

[DarksydeDash]

In the trailer, kitana’s u2 is stationary. No longer moves back. Nerf?

HUGE buff.

 

[xKhaoTik]

When they buffed the hitbox, I never had issues with it whiffing. I always thought her moving back was intentional to make it harder to punish.
We’ll see tho. As long as they keep the hitbox the same, idrc

It not moving her back means flawless block U2 instances on longer-range attacks should remove instances where you whiff due to the distance. Considering the size of the hitbox (assuming it isn't nerfed back), the change should also force opponents who do wakeup U2 baits to be considerably further back, resulting in Kitana getting more room to breathe if she sees the bait and just gets up.

Kitana looks bland as all hell next to her sister’s teleporting around, stabbing, and string ender antics. The OG cast of this game needs some love.

So, the list of Kitana changes via Tyler on twitter, streams, and trailers:

-Last hit of B231343 no longer randomly whiffs on a stand blocking opponent

- Fixed a bug where her Parry did not apply damage to her throw, so now she has a damage buffed grab after a projectile parry

- U2 no longer has Kitana moving backward, which will hopefully not make it whiff as much

- Universal Throw throw nerf of 1%

- Parry Damage buff now affects the first hit of her fatal blow

- Universal wakeup timing change

Unknown:

- Universal change to variations

Unconfirmed:
Df2 connecting off strings on grounded female opponents

F2 being low profiled by a bunch of the cast's pokes

Tyler knows about both of these ^


This is a HUGE step in the right direction, now if we can just get a faster s2, maybe some plus frames, and make her other strings useful, I think we'd be golden.

 

[xWildx]

Give her some damn KB throws.

Maybe tomorrow will be full of surprises.

 

[DarkSado]

seem like its b14 again guys until the next BIG PATCH LMAO!

 

[DarkSado]

I hope so but then again its 16 bit

 

[John_NX]

Highborn nerfed lol

 

[DarkSado]

LMAO!

 

[Arqwart]

Highborn nerfed lol

Does it really matter now, though? Custom variations will be coming along with. I assume the point was so we don't have endless Razors/X/Y variations.

yea I guess but one fan on razor lol.

 

[Arqwart]

yea I guess but one fan on razor lol.

Amplified still does 3 and is likely still safe if canceled appropriately. Seems like the same shindig as the rest of the cast as needing to amplify specials on block to stay safe.

but the ability cause two slot is it gonna be one now? seem like the move gonna be ass now lol
Oh never mind razor cause one slot I am thinking about half blood stnce my bad.

 

[xKhaoTik]

we all knew the highborn nerf was coming. Who cares tho? We have upfan now boys

 

[M2Dave]

Razors were fun while they lasted. LOL.

Time to move on now.

 

[xKhaoTik]

Oh if you equip half blood stance and Edenian twist, you’ll have access to a very damaging 4 KB combo.

 

[DarkSado]

Thats fine but don't just butcher a move like that. whats point of custom if you gonna nerf the other move?

The move was too powerful. We all knew that. Be grateful we can still do it with a bar lol.

anyone who lab kitana knew how to deal with razor only people who dodn't lab cmplain.

 

[xKhaoTik]

I agree but it was still a very strong tool. Absurd chip, good damage on hit, great frames on hit, safe on block and it was only 1 slot. It needed to get toned down. I don’t really see an issue.

None of us liked highborn anyways. We only used it because it was the best variation we had. I’m glad it’s finally going away

Even if razors remained the same, there will be superior custom variations in the game.
