Still sucks yeah

Are you serious

 

[xWildx]

Can Kitana delay the enhance on her enhanced ass now, or am I crazy?

 

[xWildx]

The block advantage off of Fan-Nado seems to have been nerfed.

Upward fan toss recovery feels longer midscreen, I’m not getting my lift, jump in, b2xxupFan into string bnbs. Anyone else?

Same here

You can still do lift, ji2, b14xxupFan, but you’re timing has to be pretty perfect. Kitana’s toe on the last kick has to be what launches them before the fan hit or it doesn’t look like you can really combo from it midscreen.

 

[Da Kitana]

I'm kinda sad edenian fade nor dancing fans got changed.

What about the standard 1,2. Lift ji2, 1,2 ground war? Simple but not optimal. On pc so cant check it myself

 

[DarksydeDash]

B2 short hop seems to be real and you can punish whiffed pokes with b1 since the recovery is longer on pokes.

Same. I really wanted to give a chance to dancing fans. But it will joins the parry on my dead moves list.

I’m not sure what you mean. Her basic combos still work just fine, if that’s what you’re asking. You should be, at least, sneaking in another ji2 before the 12 ender though.

 

[John_NX]

I think this isn't the full patch guys. There is NO WAY that edenian Fade or whatever else isn't buffed. No way.

My bad I missed an upfan there. 1,2 fan lift, ji2, 1,2 upfan, 1,2 ass. It should work honestly since 1,2 is her fastest string.

Her optimal is 12~fan life, Ji2, Ji2, B13~ass(AMP)..that's around 300 dmg I think.
It's 313 if you start with B231

I’m not getting it easy. Because the hitbox on the 2 of 1,2 is so fucking weird you have to wait for them to drop a bit before you can connect the up fan. But by then, they’re already too far down and you don’t have time to dash to get the ender with the added recovery.

Kitana can’t have nice things.

I'm talking about upfan. Not the two jump 2s

 

[DarkSado]

B231343 last hit still whiff and you can still be punish some patch huh LMAO!

 

[xWildx]

I’m really hoping this isn’t it. The universal poke changes are nice, but honestly, I expected way more from the custom moves and overall character balance changes with the way they were hyping this shit up.

 

[OPS_soldier]

Lol my recent video now seems pretty hilarious considering I said exactly what I said. OMG I hate that I was even close to what I thought. The over the topness should have stayed!! It could always be nerfed!

Edit: oh well. I'll still love mk11 as always. It is what it I and some of the changes are still good for the game.

 

[Juxtapose]

It could always be nerfed!

But it was. Preemptively.

 

[xWildx]

They definitely sped up her sai from Half-Blood, correct? I can get that combo way more consistently. Makes me wonder how much better her oki game may be, and may warrant the Fan-Nado nerf.

 

[Bigzo]

Not sure what the fuss is about up fan. Best combo I can find that hits consistently is back 2, ex up fan, 1.2 life, j2, b14, up fan, 1, booty

 

[JustinXavier21]

Her mid screen optimal is:
B213 fan lift j2 b14 up fan dash f222

Works on every character I've tried it on. Can be done with b14 starter too, but it's hell to land. No idea why they don't want us to have nice things...I do think she's way better though!

That f2 at the end is a tight ass gap though. Are you sure that’s possible?
