We just couldn’t get that fucking mid hitting, amplified fan, could we?

I’m honestly at a loss for words. They literally made highborn worse than what it already was.

There’s no way they played this character and thought that was ok. Absolutely no way.

 

[dph1990]

I’m so fucking angry.

 

[Vhozite]

Is the Razors change worth anything? Because honestly this looks pretty garbage otherwise

Nope. It’s a nerf.

 

[Vhozite]

Look how they massacred my boy gal

 

[xWildx]

Nope. It’s a nerf.

Doing her corner combos in Highborne feels so much harder now. It’s all utterly bizarre.

As expected honestly, business as usual for NRS patches

 

[dph1990]

I know I sound all butthurt and reactive but I’m genuinely considering dropping this game now. Kitana main since MKII and this just isn’t Kitana; I stupidly thought NRS would fix it. Nope.

I mean the other Khans in this game are mediocre so she's just joining the club right?

Right?

Is there no other character in the game that appeals to you? Sometimes it's best to be flexible. Being a Jade fan, there's been a lot of the games where I just didn't have the option of playing her, so had to find another character to main in those games.

Maybe it's time for you to try out someone who isn't Kitana in this game.

Parry still only absorbs one projectile.

Very disappointed with Kitana changes.
I just wanted to have the ability to combo off fans and mid hitting enhanced fan.
WTF, Baraka still outzones Kitana.

 

[gibster13]

underwhelming

Don't players say its best to stick to one main? What I heard anyways.

You gotta be kidding me.. They didn't fox any hitbox issues at least!?

Df2 still whiffs on grounded opponents, your opponent can still breakaway from fan lift, NO AMP MID FAN TOSS OR FAN COMBOS!?

 

[AK Harold]

Wtf you guys talking about . . . Have you tried razors?!? It's the new Aquaman

 

[DarksydeDash]

Wtf you guys talking about . . . Have you tried razors?!? It's the new Aquaman

Talking about fanfare and general hitbox issues

 

[AK Harold]

Her B2 now does 70 chip and is plus, how is this not a buff lol

 

[AK Harold]

@DarksydeDash yeah but up above in the post, people are talking shit about the edenian razors. It is pretty legit broken right now. It does way too much chip, I dont think they thought about the chip damage when they gave her the two versions to make her plus frames consistent.

 

[sofos87]

oh man, they didnt touch kitana frames thats just sad, she has some of the worst recovery and active frames in the game .... and they only buffed highborne(less played) like fan-fare is fine, even semiij dropped her

in the end if they just gave her a lazy B2 overhead i would accept it, i wouldnt like it, but it would be better than nothing, all she got is butt dmg lol

 

[xKhaoTik]

Her b2 has always been plus

Wtf you guys talking about . . . Have you tried razors?!? It's the new Aquaman

This is a reach. It definitely got nerfed.

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

How did it get nerfed? I never used highborn so I'm legit curious.
