I Break Hearts, Not Combos
Aww shucks. Well another thing I like to do is f4 b4 a couple of times, then f4 1. I've heard people say that fuzzy guarding f4 b4 is harder than it seems.i love you

It's pretty much useless at high levels though. There's no reason to ever stand block against Kitana. She only has two overhead attacks and both are mid-combo and extremely easy to see coming. Using Fake Out Kick at the end of combos is only good against people who don't know Kitana well. Against anyone who does, you're just losing offensive momentum, which is extremely important in this game.wow...I've been using Kitana from day 1 and I never even thought of doing 1,1,2, fake out kick. If anything using 1,1 I would 1,1, fan cutter. I love the way 114fakeout looks! Thanks Guamo!
Yeah, I actually agree with you. I've played a few people who always jump out before the fake out kick...well, at least it's "fancy" looking!It's pretty much useless at high levels though.

so i'm not the only one that pulls out a 1,1 when I'm going for a d+1. I was about to throw that controller out!f+4,1 has good recovery on block. Close to even. Has anyone made use of f+4,3? It's like that move doesn't exist.
I only use 1 when d+1 doesn't come out(which is too fucking often). I usually just do 1,1 throw or something.
a few things:My strategy is wake up on Square boost or airlift. I use Her bnb and 2 of my made up combos. then towards the end i spam iaf and ground fan because they block and i take advantage of block damage. And mix up combos f4, 1 fake out kick and if they block f21 i neutral jump punch or jump over them and kick then air fan or d4
specials can be 2in1'd out of f4 1; meaning they are "true" combos. it just so happens that the Fake Out Kick can be poked out of/evaded since it has slow start up.2. f41~fake out kick is another thing that's good against inexperienced players, but not so much against experienced players. since specials cancelled into after f41 are not true combos, they should have the ability to poke out of it or jump. i'm pretty sure about this, but it could use clarification. either way, when i cancel into special after f41 i always go with cutter, as it gives you a safe jump on hit and you don't have to worry about the opponent's wakeup.
It does, but using it off of a deep jump punch forces them to block it.Doesn't F4 wiff on a lot of low blocked characters?
I do the same thing but just 2~fan lift, originally it was out of a habit of actually landing the f4,1 and then comboing into 2~fan lift. It works well against aggressive players.Whenever I use Kitana's f41 midscreen, I go straight for dash 2~fan lift.
You can fan lift the telekick, but it isn't really worth it considering it has to be baited and loses to ex, and normal telekick is already punishable with 2~fan 2~fan lit.- Naked fan lift against Mileena's telekick. Especially works if they abuse telekick/are predictable. Careful if she has meter.
Does this still work if they do air sai right after telekick? Most decent Mileena's I see usually do that.normal telekick is already punishable with 2~fan 2~fan lit.
Yes. Air sai after telekick only jails on ex (which can be avoided by ducking the sai there). The only exception, I think, is Reptile due to some hitbox issue.Does this still work if they do air sai right after telekick? Most decent Mileena's I see usually do that.
I mix it up with 11 throw, 112cutter, and 112 kickOne thing that I've been using lately is her 11 string. It has helped me keep pressure on my opponents up close and leads to cutter on hit confirm.
