Hi P2W.She needs it.
Lmao I was wondering who that was. Good catch.Hi P2W.
like who?Lastly, yes, the block string is very scary if you are cornered and have no meter. I could name a handful of characters who are just as scary when you're cornered by them and have no meter and a few of them aren't burning bar after bar to maintain the pressure.

When I first saw this, I misread it as...Princess 'Chip'tana lmao

There is no answer to this string, only armor that deals 10-15% damage while taking 5% and pushing Kitana away where she can build more meter. If you have no meter game over. If you use armor, well, still great for her.There's answers to the string other than armor.
It's full of mind games, but generally, as time goes on, it will become more of a scrub killer gimmick than anything.
You can backdash...if you can armor, you can backdash. Some characters she has to completely change the timing on to get the j2 to even connect, which grants easy escapes for them as well. If she does DP xx float j2 on Reptile without delay, she gets full combo punished with f4. Hell, Reptile just slides it and she wasted a bar trying to be cute lol.There is no answer to this string, only armor that deals 10-15% damage while taking 5% and pushing Kitana away where she can build more meter.

So your saying this is fine ?
First of all, why were you trying EX spin when it no longer has armor? Of course it doesn't work during the gap! That's pretty much the case for every gap in any character's string.
Second of all, you make the point of saying "if you backdash, you're at neutral at best" but fail to mention (or realize?) Kitana just wasted a bar while you used none to get out.
Third of all, there are more ways to escape this if people took the time to lab it before posting videos saying it can't be done. I've been crouching-jabbed out of it a number of times. Watch Reo's video praising SonicFox's Kitana and you will see an instance of Reo back-walking, read back-WALKING not back-dashing, right out of it with Predator.

In the corner backdash doesnt do anything, maybe save you a little chip from JP, thats all, she's at massive plus.You can backdash...if you can armor, you can backdash.

There are answers that you weren't even trying to find.
when armor started dealing about 10% damage (you also take 5% remember?) and pushes kitana back at the range she excels in (and builds more meter). Her zoning is insane, her close range is insane with this, her armors are one of the best.When did just being armored not become worth a bar of meter?
Yeah but these characters don't usually tend to have amazing neutral and keep away. She was supposed to be a bit ass up close to balance out her full screen game.

It's more than the 3 you mentioned. Triborg avoids it as well, from what I've been told.In the corner backdash doesnt do anything, maybe save you a little chip from JP, thats all, she's at massive plus.
She doesnt have to change any timings, she can do the same timing on everyone and it will always work (except 3 characters i mentioned). Doesnt matter what you do. Crouch, stand, hold block, dont hold block, try to low-profile with stuff like ermac d3, cage d4 - it all doesnt work.
But its not a gimick. This is 100% legit offence, that is better than most if any offencive characters in the game.So yeah, this may be an escapable gimmick, but
I was of the impression that backdash has iframesIn the corner backdash doesnt do anything, maybe save you a little chip from JP, thats all, she's at massive plus.
