Kitana General Discussion

[xKhaoTik]

True but im over it now. what the best custom varation right now for kitana to you?

Anything with up fan tbh. That’s her best move and hopefully it isn’t nerfed when it becomes legal

low fan/ground war/Edenian twist is a good one too. I don’t think you can fuzzy that mix but I may be wrong

 

[Benlo]

I'll probablly go with Upward fan toss + ground war + edenian twist+

Or maybe the air fan toss.

 

[Zer0_h0ur]

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

I only learned highborn to cheese out KL bitches with annoying playstyles I couldn't adapt to in FT2. We had fun but excited to make my own kitana now.

I actually liked it as it was the closest I figured I'd come to Mileena in this game. That's obviously changed now!

So I've never toyed with Custom Variations before, I've always stuck with the Tournament ones. So I took a look, and decided to piece together a kit that was as close to klassic Kitana as I could get.

When I was done and saved the Variation, I realized I had simply made Fan-Fare...

But, but NRS don't know how to make variations that make sense...

 

[DarkSado]

Ground wave and half-blood stance actually not bad at all you keep the zoining and the launcher along with the armor break.

Yea that shit is RIP RIP LMAO.

I've been replaying the mileena-kitana sequence where kitana does her S2 and I think I'm noticing a faster start up. Can anyone check it out?

 

[DarksydeDash]

everyone, experimenting with custom variations rn is pointless. Every move is getting massive changes as we saw with Raiden

I was just toying with it because I've never really done so before. And then laughed at myself for making her base Variation without realizing it...

Keep an eye on dancing fans and her Teleport stance.

These have potential to be crazy.

I REALLY hope they didn’t mess with up fan. That move opens up SOOOOO many doors for her

I’ve never messed with customs, how do you use up fan in combos? Do you have a few bnbs you could share?

So it’s essentially what her fans combos should’ve been like, or what they’ve always been in previous games

So you can do something like b231 lift, j2, b14 up fan, 12 ender
If you AA with it, you can convert from full screen if you follow it and make the read, but if it hits right in front of you, you have more than enough time to convert into lift and continue.
It has very strong air control

In the corner, you can combo from amp up fan. So b231 amp up fan, 12 lift, j3, 4 up fan, 32 ender

 

[DarksydeDash]

Ground War with edenian twist is a 50/50 normally and off of B2. So if ya'll wanna mix, you can.

 

[xWildx]

Nitpick. But I really hope they cleaned up the animation for up fan. Right now it just looks like an awkwardly angled low fan and it irritates me lol

I'm really interested in dancing fans. That move just need little adjustments to be good, and it could be fun !

And the kb of Edenian twist is much easier to get, this way !

 

[Bigzo]

I don’t think so. Just get a glance of what we might me working with. I think what you can and can’t put on the same variation is already baked on the game

How? Just block high for both

 

[xWildx]

Ground War makes Edenian Twist hit on the ground with an overhead. The second hit of the b231 string hits low. You do the math.

Lol the next hit from b2 is a low and ET is an OH

Anyone with a brain can still counter that. Kitana is predictable, and players are forced to use certain abilities, or in this case a certain variation(low fan, ground war, edenian twist), just to have a mix up that won't even extended combos or launch (except for once using kb).

Idk. Edenian twist done on the ground is pretty quick. I was labbing it yesterday trying to fuzzy all types of mixes and it wasn’t easy. It’s definitely better than b231d2/low fan or f234/low fan mix. Those are hella easy to counter and punish

I’m going the up fan route tho lol.
