Frame data says it's -10 on block. Which variation of Kotal you usually fight against? If that's War god, try to fuzzy guard his OH/low sword. It's pretty hard but most of the time Kotal will go for OH because d4 already hits low. She can punish both OH/low sword easily with reversal BF3, she can also full combo punish with 21 but sometimes there's huge push back after OH/low sword so 21 won't reach. Just practice this. Against Sun god, try to read a tick throw to back dash or armor. Back dash after d4 is safer

It was War God, I mastered that MU and can usually reversal his b14 before having to guess on the OH/Lo. But then he broke Sun God out on me in tournament play yesterday and reset me 3-0 and then took GF 3-1. I couldn't DP between his buttons. Guess I'll just have to work on NJ/backdashing after the d4.

I recorded some matches with a kotal player I ran into. I can post it if you want. Sun God and war God were used and I was assassin

Does f112 punish ex overhead sword?

 

[YoloRoll1stHit]

Does f112 punish ex overhead sword?

No it's -14 on block

 

[ABake]

I only saw him use 1 d4 lol

No it's -14 on block

Only if the pushback from the OH sword isn't too far. That move is essentially safe because of it. Your best bet after blocking that is to run up and throw.

Yo! I want to know, what is her best damage so far in the corner? 1bar, I've hot a 50% (maybe lightly more) from B1. Mid-screen? Meterless and 1 bar? I've seen what scales so how I need to know how much I need to surpass (in terms of damages) with practicable combos. (Royal Storm)

You're hitting 50% with Royal storm in the corner? Highest I've done is 48%. I know she gets 50% on assassin.

Midscreen, b1 gets 36% I believe and 42% with bar in RS. It's more damaging in assassin.

 

[HappyPow]

Yeah 50% or more (Royal Storm), I just discovered something else that might increase the amount of damages. Unfortunatly, I'm not used to Kitana's timings (example, I struggle with her ji3 fan after the Storm xD). 36% from B1? Ok. What about F112 fan meterless?
Thank you btw.

Please post lol.

And I believe 34%. F112 fan, jk fan, run r43, 21 lift, njp, run 3 ass. Again, it's more damaging in assassin.

Jk fan is easy to do. Don't rush it. Just hit with the kick then do fan.

Haha I will post it. So yeah def 50% or more (I've hit a 49% that is a lower version of the entire combo, thanks to a friend). 34%... seems hard to get better from that.
Thanks for the tips!

"Run 3 ass." What's the ass.? And "run r43" what is the r before 43?

 

[HappyPow]

Must be F43 and "ass" must be DB3

 

[xKhaoTik]

This. R was a typo tho lol

 

[HappyPow]

Hum... So I'm on assassin with my buddie and so far with buffs : 47% meterless from F1, he did 61% 1bar... It seems like most of the big stuff has already been found huh?

Yea midscreen she does 47%no bar with sharpen and 58% with a bar.

49% in the corner and 63 with a bar

Figured starting a Kitana Server on Discord couldn't be the worst idea:

So who does Kitana beat? Who does she lose to?

I honestly feel like she can compete with anybody and can win.


Except Predator. Just fuck him.

This is not an exhaustive list and is focused around RS/Assassin, more observations than anything.

I think she beats Cyrax, Cyber Sub-Zero, Kung Lao, Tanya, Jason, Bo Rai Cho and maybe Kenshi.

Up in the air or even(mostly even in this list): Mileena, Goro, Reptile, Ermac, Kung Jin, Jacqui etc.

I think Jax, Johnny, Predator, Sub-Zero, D'Vorah, CT Kano, Scorpion and Takeda can give her some trouble. Not saying terribly so, but a lot of them take advantage of her flaws really well. Good anti-zoning options, lot of low profiling and so on.


I'd say she's solid, but very fair and that there aren't any characters she outright destroys.

 

[errormacro7]

IMO she definitely beats CO Sonya.

This is what the truth feels like.
