Question - Kitana Potential KItana nerfs/buffs 8/31

[gam224]

The only thing mournful should PROBABLY get is shadow kick being a mid. She doesn't need anything else in that variation. It's fine how it is now.

RS needs nothing. Some people say a faster startup on reflect or ex lift to negate projectiles should happen, and that'll be cool. Other than that, its fine.

Assassin is the one that needs the most help. It's clearly the weakest of the 3 and RS just completely outshines it. It's supposed to be her rushdown variation yet it doesn't have the proper tools to rush down at all.


Any nerfs she gets should most likely go to her damage. I honestly think she needs her damage because it's not like we get it off a 50/50 or anything like that. I don't see any other nerf we deserve .

I think back 2 needs faster start up because i feel as if once kitana has a hard knockdown she can do alot with it with her float set ups. I think this would give her the necessary aggressiveness in asassin. What's your take on it?

I still don't believe Assassin is the rushdown style though. Mournfuls tools and playstyle scream rushdown tome. Assassin shouldnt even be using fans. It should be a fucking swords. Or the fans before she spreads them. Take away her projectiles..replace them with command grabs. Done.

She already has a HKD in assassin tho so making b2 faster wouldn't do much in the sense. It would give her a 50/50 tho, but then she'll be like every character in the game. I like Kitana because she's so different from the cast and she kinda has her own meta, which is why she's so good. I would love to see her get the "Cancels Treatment" that Ferra Torr is getting, mainly with her fans. Only in Assasin of course.

 

[SM StarGazer]

Give her Predators d4 but with the pole in Mournful. Im just dreaming now...but it would be soooooo great

 

[xKhaoTik]

Anyone find it weird that almost every character, INCLUDING Kung Lao, got a buff, yet we haven't heard anything about Kitana yet?

Has me worried

I think she needs a little bit of normalization. I think that in RS it's alright if she doesn't get crazy 50/50's but asassin needs some kind of offense to cover matches where Kitana is out zoned. It's the hardest thing for developers to find a mix between normal and abnormal.

These are really all the buffs assassin needs

• Full screen armor on ex run
• Sharpen being faster

With these two things she would be so much better in this variation

 

[Afk Skinny]

I just want more pole based moves in Mournful

 

[SM StarGazer]

Hahahha you said Kitana and outzoned in the same sentence...hahahahha

Sharpen being faster is a must. God knows how much we've been saying this since like week 1

 

[KH StarCharger]

Agreed but what i would like to see for asassin is parry not parrying throws but gets a low parry, get rid of ex sharpen and just make it regular sharpen. What are your thoughts?

I agree actually. That is if regular sharpen gets EX sharpen's start up. The start up of that move is terrible on it's own. Plus getting a low parry would be very nice.

 

[KH StarCharger]

Quite frankly I'd like to see that and the Assassins rush become dash cancellable. That would probably be as good as, if not better than, full screen armor.

 

[SM StarGazer]

Mkae the parry runcancelable

 

[Laos_boy]

Overhead assassin strike and make it have super armor.

Parry I still think should be faster but its fine the way it is

Sharpen needs to be redesigned in some way

 

[YoloRoll1stHit]

Sharpen gets the Shaolinflame treatment, for example 21 ex sharpen is plus 10 on block
Reduce parry's startup to 5 frame so I can parry the gap in Cassie's B124

 

[chiXnhawk]

That would be interesting. Sharpen gives a buff to parry by making it 3-4 frames and a faster overhead that bounces. There's all that Assassin needs.

 

[Crimea]

not today...

 

[YoloRoll1stHit]

Haha we're all wrong. She gets small fixes and stays the same. I'm happy with that

 

[ThaRawDeal]

Nothing nerfed! That's good news, still kind of sad about there not being any assassin buffs.

 

[Afflictionnz]

So uhhhh. Looks like KItana got some damage nerfs. I'm in training mode and all of my combos are scaled. My 50% 1 Bar now does 40%. KP's Mid screen EX Fan combo now does 37% instead of 46%. My 37% now does 33%. My 31% now does 29%.

I saw this coming anyway. Any character that wins Evo is getting nerfs. Seems like her EX Fans are whats scaling the combos the most. Any Meterless combo does about 2%- 6% less damage than it did pre-patch depending on the combo.

 

[SM StarGazer]

I'd like to welcome you all to Mournful.

 

[Krabman]

LOL yes!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SM StarGazer]

I demnd twooverheads for RS and Assassin rightnow. One for Mournful. Goddamn it. Kitana noooooooo

 

[xKhaoTik]

I know I said I'd be fine with a damage nerf, but 53% to 39%? 42% meterless to 34%? 37% meterless to 29%? This is too much

 

[SM StarGazer]
