He was asking on hit, not block.

Yes. To the point where outside of using a kameo like Jax to ambush into combo extensions off it, it's generally not worth using Pirouette as a combo ender. You can get comparable (if slightly [~1%] less) damage by using Fan-nado as your ender.
Have only run into a couple Geras' on PC and they haven't really been an issue. With Sub and Lao kameos, it's extremely easy to zone him out. With Stryker, I'd imagine he complements pressure better cause you can call in grenades when you think Geras is going to attempt an armor through your string gaps. For those kinda Geras', I recommend using 2 and B2 alone every now and then to bait the armor. At least teach them they can't autopilot turn steal whenever they have meter.
I think Reiko's Fatal Blow catches neutral duck.
Oh yes you’re correct. If he does the air grab, you can duck. Alot of people do the air grab version so I’m so used to ducking
I briefly tried that team when I first tried to learn her like in Month 1. I haven't revisited it yet though. Looks like most people are running Kitana/Jax. I'm trying to polish her up and make her my secondary but don't feel like using Jax. Been messing around with Frost and Sektor. Both give her plus frame pushback for spacing purposes (some of them legit frame traps) but Might check Stryker out again. Ending anything in plus for her helps her fight up close. Grenades also cover her pretty well. I just remember that team being tough and a bit of a mind f*** for me back then but since then I've gotten used to the Kameo system and used that kinda OD tech with Mileena using him so I may come back to this team. What kinda string enders or attacks do you use with nades? Do you use them to get in or out as well? Or to setup wind bomb without getting harrassed? I gotta jump in the lab tomorrow with them to see how this goes. I remember I could launch off of her 112 by inputting the grenade toss in between one of the buttons (gotta check that again) but that's about it haha
I use the nades for a ton of different purposes. On wakeup, in neutral, continue pressure, start pressure. mostly be safe off her armoured special and b34. Do unsafe stuff to bait them and then call nades is a classic.
Yeah it did if I’m not mistaken.
Thanks for confirming, and glad I'm just remembering wrong.
It does but sometimes it still seems to not, I venture though it's because it's so deep in the animation it considers it a "trade". Like I've had it still hit after being jabbed or hit when it's already level with their back or about to hit them
She has some of the best, if not the best, zoning in this game, especially with Kung Lao as the kameo.
I'm a Kitana/sub main but I wanna switch to Stryker.. Do you have any gameplay you could share?
No I haven't really recorded anything in a while. I would just go back and run my replays and save those off my PS5 but I still have that issue where it'll display a "playback error" so I can't watch any replays. Dunno if you guys have that issue. I could not too far down the line but atm I'm labbing Khameleon with my Main. Maybe this weekend I'll run that team for a bit just to throw something out to show you. Or I can just give you the tech I have with her so far if you want it. Pretty straightforward overall.
Worst matchups for me are Sub, Reiko, and scorpion for me
As a player who uses Kitana as a secondary character, any character who synergizes very well with Sub Zero and/or has lots of anti-zoning tools gives Kitana a difficult time.
Imo, it was already Jax before the patch and now it's even more the case. Khameleon is a great contender, but Jax is the main kameo that gives her both damage and dirt.
