I honestly feel like upfan got nerfed, which is a SMALL complaint in comparison to the rest of amazing buffs she got.

what seems to work after lift (consistently) are some of the older bnb’s I was doing:

starter > lift, (b1)4 upfan, b14, booty
starter > lift, (b3)4 upfan, b14, booty

shame lol. BUT!
d3 jailing into 12, 21
d4 jailing into b2
& quick hops actually working help out kitana a shit ton

Hey guys, sorry for the noob question, I have been away from the game for a while I have never really delved into the kustom variations, so what shapes up to be the best combination of special moves now?

I think edenian razors should definitely be in for the chip/pressure etc. I remember that she had another stance in the kustoms outside of half blood, but that seemed kinda inpracticle

Not sure what you guys are talking about but I’m comboing off of up fan just fine

Starter into lift, j2, b14 up fan, b14 ass. That’s 32% meterless off of b231, which is 3% more than her previous j2x2 bnb. The only difference is the unbreakable with amp up fan is gone but I kinda had a feeling that was going away.

S1 into Up fan as an AA still converts into b14 lift.

You can still convert off up fan as an AA itself.


The recovery is definitely noticeably slower but I don’t think it’s enough to complain about. The combos are still there, unless there were specific combos I didn’t know about?

I was just about to say this. The combo is still there, but your micro dashes have to be on point. Requires skill, which I'm ok with.

Edit: NOT ok with the neutering her corner unbreakable. Tons of characters have decent unbreakable damage. Don't see why kitana kahn can't.

I can still connect 12 after up fan MB in the corner.... is it because the dummy don't block?
My old F2 combo is gone but I am fine with that.
I am glad NRS doesn't add more scaling for up fan, that would definitely ruin all combos if she wants to dish out damage with DF2 KB or corner fatal blow. Recovery nerf is pretty small

Your circumstances are dire!
I've gotten used to the upwards fan toss nerf. Sure it annoys me but oh well. By the way, I've been trying to use her air downwards fan (forgot the name) and honestly, it's not that bad. Definitely useable.

I've been rocking the air dash and downward air fan. Lets me play Kitana just like Kabal lol.
Meterless 27% off a jab punish is nice too.

So I am trying this, but that stupid forward dash is pretty hard to do. I am trying to do it off short hop, and have like 50% success rate, and another half it's just a hopeinto J2.
