Match-up Discussion Kitana Match-Up Chart

[xKhaoTik]

Quan vs Kitana is not a good match-up for Quan. If your reasoning for Quan being good for Kitana is:
They have equal zoning: You're not playing a Kitana who can consistently iaf
Their footsies are similar: Quan has a stubby d3 and a non-existent d1. Kitana's strings reach 1/4 to full screen, are safe on block and 21 is decently fast and easily hit confirmed. Quan has a string that reaches about 1/4 screen, but it's very slow and extremely punishable between each motion.
Cutter: LBSH, if a Kitana ends more strings with cutter than ending it as 21 or 212, you're not versing a Kitana
Rune Trap: Although very good, 1 bar 50%+ > 3 bar 50%+

Supey wupey <3

 

[Mr. Mileena]

Kitana vs Quan would be 7-3 Kitana if he didn't have rune trap, lol, maybe even worse.

Quan sucks vs Kitana. its 6-4, an i've already explained it to flash multiple times lol

So have I lol.

But rune trap and f12 bro. 5-5

How could i forget? Kinda like how Jade vs Kitana is 5-5 because she can't throw fans

 

[Axel_Redd]

so who'd be a better third then....Kenshi or Freddy? lol

 

[Jimmypotato]

I've always though freddy is a little bit easier to play against then Kenshi, so if Freddy is 3-7 Kenshi gotta be 2-8,

guess i could pick up kenshi for a 3rd and drop rep then....


OH PIIIIIIIIIIG!!!!! O:

But rune trap and f12 bro. 5-5

OMG f12 is so slow... He can't just throw it out. If any of it whiffs, Kitana gets a full combo. If he does it and Kitana jumps, he loses half of his lifebar for his trouble and is now in the corner.

People really need to GTFO of here with this 5-5 Quan Chi bullshit.

 

[CptXecution]

Mr. Mileena you got the Kenshi MU wrong isn't it 5-5 like we talked about lol

But seriously, NO character who can do 50%+ from anywhere on the screen should not have ANY 2-8 MU.

I agree with the 7-3 vs Subs that everyone is putting as well.

 

[Konqrr]

But seriously, NO character who can do 50%+ from anywhere on the screen should not have ANY 2-8 MU.

It is when that character can reflect your "fullscreen" 50% attempt and there is really no way to truly use ex fan as a punish. You have to guess and just throw it out with a prayer.

I'm not talking about random ex-fans....when one of the main ways to get in on Kenshi is to jump a shoulder (which I've learned can be properly spaced and timed consistently) once you land the jip you're guaranteed at least 50% or make Kenshi use his meter which is huge. It's bad but Kitana has a better shot at beating him than Sub (an actual 2-8 vs Kenshi).

Yeah, however, you have to be on point to punish a whiffed shoulder with ex fan.

But the matchup is brutal, basically Kitana relies on gimmicks to help her win that match.

Ohohohohoho

if the kitana's footwork is on point, then the match is winnable. Kitana's gotta dance for her win in this MU ;D. And the punishment for screwing up is a bitch slap shoulder charge to the face

 

[BillStickers]

The matchup is not winnable.

 

[xKhaoTik]

The match isn't 0-10...

 

[Espio]

Every match up is winnable if you put in the work and make the proper reads. Is every match up easy? Nope, not by a long shot, but the fact of the matter is that it's possible to win.

 

[Mr. Mileena]

How is the matchup not winnable?

Go ahead and give up then.

 

[GuamoKun]

This matchup unwinnable?

I've done a lot more with a lot less.

We aren't Kano

 

[BillStickers]

Fuck guys I was kidding pop a Midol and change your fucking tampons.

 

[Axel_Redd]

Gimmicks you say?

Ohohohohoho

u really should put this in ur sig
