Nice guide thank you again.

 

[chiXnhawk]

Great guide. I look at frame data often but I didn't really understand most of it. Good read and made me think of some areas I need work on.

• Her mask is off

Nailed it

Jesus Christ!

 

[Gooch Peencher]

Wow as if not enough people were using her now because of @SonicFox5000 , now you go and make a badass guide for more people to pick her up.

 

[Catnip_Her0]

It is time you came back to the darkside

 

[Skylight1]

Dang Kitana got that SonicFox special touch of death now. Once Sonic touches it, people all start to flock towards it, not even playing the character correctly anymore. But other than that, this guide is well needed. I wished more people would pay attention to the underutilized Mournful .

Yea they came out of nowhere but a lot of them need to read this thread lol

I stopped reading when you said her uppercut at 12f was a "pretty fast one"

Good guide dude. Good guide indeed.

I'm sorry, is 12f slow for an NRS game?

Came out of no where indeed. Has nothing to do with sf5000...

Compared to the plethora of uppercuts in this game that are faster and have better hitboxes, it's pretty below average.

It's really not that bad but ok!

 

[Konqrr]

It's nowhere near as bad as it was in MK9... 15f ;_;

Pretty useful IMO... also great for Mournful corner combos!

 

[YoloRoll1stHit]

In MK9 her uppercut is slow but the recovery is pretty good though. It's easy to do swagger uppercut Kitana combo, even mid screen (lift, dash under lift then reversed uppercut, 2 fan, 4 cutter).
However I felt Kitana's D2 in MKX is not really useful. It's much easier and more damaging to anti air with 1, jump 2, or d1. The only time I use d2 is when doing mourful corner combo (d2 to hit them out, d1 staff to grab them back. It looks fantastic)

 

[WakeUp DP]

So Kitana has no OH combo?

 

[KidVanDal]

So Kitana has no OH combo?

Not in RS don't know the other variations.

 

[KidVanDal]

If you don't count xray which I don't.

 

[WakeUp DP]

I'm trying her out, shes not that hard to use but hate no OHs.

 

[TarkatanDentist]

Well, there IS her air glaive in Mournful - that's OH, and the EX version can be used as a combo starter...

But yeah, the lack of OHs is Kitana's most obvious weakness lol. I don't really mind b2 not being very rewarding on hit - it's the fact that it's blockable on reaction that kills me.

 

[KidVanDal]

I wouldn't mind faster start up on b2 but right now I just want her to survive the patch.
I kinda don't want them to change anything.

 

[YoloRoll1stHit]

Let's count down till the patch comes? lol I can't wait

 

[KidVanDal]

I'm trying her out, shes not that hard to use but hate no OHs.

If you want an OH you could IA-float into nJP.

This is beyond amazing. Thank you for doing it. Btw, you really really should do assassin and mournful too @xKhaoTik
