Come On Die Young
So, I'm making this topic just to share what us Kitana players do that is different from her general strategy, but effective.
One thing that catches people off guard for me is this:
Whenever I use Kitana's f41 midscreen, I go straight for dash 2~fan lift. When someone is properly guarding f41, instead of cancelling into cutter, I do the dash 2~fan lift anyway. Despite the unsafeness of fan lift, most people release block directly after f41 and don't anticipate this afterwards, so they typically get hit by it unless they choose to jump or poke.
Another one I've been trying out is 112~ex fan. 112~cutter is a great string that catches people off guard, so I thought why not try an ex fan? It's a moderate risk/high reward attack, and therefore great to throw out every now and then (abusing 112 strings will teach them to block, it's not a "true" combo and they can block the attack cancelled into even if they eat the 112).
