You can basically just duck/poke all of Kitana's wake up options, even if Ex Pretty Legs is used as a wake up the first two kicks are high (which you can uppercut on reaction) even before the third kick hits ducked opponents that's up close. Now if your opponent is past the sweep range Kitana's Ex Pretty Legs will whiff which puts her airborne if she missed that leaves her open to ex Scorpion's Spear, Cage B3/standing 1 AA juggle her. I only find Pretty Kick/Ex Pretty Legs useful if your opponent crosses over you because she gets to switch sides with some invincibility. JimmyPotato is the only Kitana player that I've played that ever uses Pretty Kick so I guess it can be used as a gimmick to catch your opponent off guard because they forget the move exists as opposed to Cutter or Square Wave which are more commonly used aside from her Fans.ex pretty kick goes through almost all anti-kit wakeup setups (rep's forceball, scorpion's spear, sub's clone unless he puts it further out than usual). Also, the last hit of ex pretty kick will hit crouching on high hitbox characters.
I wouldn't mind that if we don't get armor on startup. It's annoying that enhanced ass can't get in on Kabal iagb'sonly buff kitana needs is the ass fly move should have super armor on it..
Rofl. Are you serious? I don't even play Sonya regularly but it took me an hour at most to bridge her "execution barrier". Oh shit, I've gotta link her pressure or D4 into DB2~F1/B4/Throw 1+2. HOW DO YOU GUYS DO IT?! I love people who actually find her bnb difficult, that's the best. I honestly find it more of a pain in the ass to hit Cage's dash F3 nut punch off a midscreen 21F2 than Sonya's "strict execution". The only problem I have with Sonya is getting into her bnb off a divekick, I keep fucking that up for whatever odd reason, but no...she is not hard to play at all. About as difficult as Cage to be totally honest. If anything, I think EX Kartwheel is truly the most brainless move in the entire game. -3 on block (OOOOH! You can poke me!) MY PRESSURE! NOOOO!She's the 3rd hardest char to use in the game and she's entirely based on mixups... if you're an idiot you can't mix up properly and wouldn't know when/how to mix up. Brain dead is spamming F3 or flow charting Kenshi.
Rain is harder(combos have much stricter timing) Sektor is harder(relies a lot on hit confirms and AA 1 into combos) Freddy is harder(try to do his BnBs lol) Cyber Sub is harder, Ermac is harder(Jk tp into jk tp, slow strings, iaAB). The list goes on, sonya is not very hard execution wise. Fundamentally she requires a good amount of matchup knowledge since most people play her a lot nowadays.I would play those games if their art style wasn't lame as Fuck. Who is harder to use than Sonya besides kabal and skarlet? Also, you don't need to be a douche bag to make a point. You also don't have to type like a moron to imply sarcasm. Are you 12?
Man saying cage is as hard to use as Sonya is so dumb that people would probably find that Sig worthy. Terrible post.
Combo exploits! That's what she needs! Kirax!She has one of the best damage outputs in the game 50+% combos off of one bar? Yes she sounds like she needs buffs.
Sonya is easy to play, not the OMG she's execution heavy. IMO, anyone can pick her up and do well with her being average at best. The only tough things to execute with Sonya are from an instant air Dive Kick 2,1 combo starter, B21F2 njp Kiss combo starter and occasional when you try to end combos with 112MS from air to airs.........everything else is easy. Cage is flat out easy to use, F3, F3,3, F3,3,B3 game revolves entirely on that lock down, standing 1 and D1 AA jump out attempts and B3 on cross up attempts lock them down again with Nut Punch. Not heavy execution characters at all.Rofl. Are you serious? I don't even play Sonya regularly but it took me an hour at most to bridge her "execution barrier".

And yes, unless someone actually deals with Sonya's DB2~F1 (which a lot of people do not and just block it low) it's +1 on block. Reminds me of a certain "brainless" fellow. Oh wait, they're both relatively brainless. You know what? This game is brainless. Quan Chi, Johnny Cage, Reptile, Sonya...all these characters I play pretty regularly and I do not expel a whole lot of thought into any of them; why would I need to?
I'd rather ex fanlift be unblockable and hit crouching opponents. That would fix her poor wakeup game.give Kitana armor on EX fanlift and she would be best char in the game by far hehe just kidding shes good the way shes
Go to hell you reset smoke of a whore.(s)HE NEEDS IT
