Well, she got nice stuff and all. But I still would have traded ALL of that for an overhead starter. Of course, Rising Blades buff is great for wake ups, but that still doesn't fix anything, a good player won't fall for it...My guess on why you haven't seen all the noise you would have expected.
Woops I forgot about it since I wasn't even using it lol. It actually has a use now since parry does I think 21% with it active
I don't know what you mean by staggering the string.
like instead of doing 212 all together... you do just 21 and then 21 again or go into something else. Trying to throw them off basically.
Oh, sorry you quoted another conversation piece so I was confused. Give it a try when you can sliding the inputs is super easy and there is a "beat" in between where you can choose what to do next, although you have to think fast. The good news with this patch is if they block 21 is now SAFE and 212 can now connect into a fan toss, lots of options. Before it was really risky because she would just stand there backwards waiting to get bodied.
20 + if we count last patch as well
Hell no... f2 being an overhead would be nice, but in the long run it would be useless and she would still be bottom tier. With the buffs she got, she is WAY safer and can actually press buttons now on top of having frame traps.
Assassin would be the best now, d1 into parry is awsome for those happy counter pokes, also parry is great vs rushers, she will be respected now.
Only 19 if you count last patch, learn how to count.
Na Assassin still isn't as good as RS or Mournful. Parry being faster is good, especially since you can use mind games due to canceling into it, but the zoning/anti zoning RS offers and the versatility Mournful offers outshines Assassin.
What is it specifically about RS that you like better than assassin? Just the reflect? I don't find that anybody's zoning is strong enough to ever justify using it and I rarely need the extra distance that the fan lift offers. I much prefer having the armour from assassin strike.
Reflect is alot better than people think. Just having a reflect is good and gives zoners something to worry about. On top of the reflect, the lift is also a very good tool. Regular lift can be used to get combos not available in other variations, and can be used as a footsie, since it's safe at max range against most characters. Ex lift is a godsend, since it can allow for a full combo from full screen against other zoners. Even if it's blocked, it gives zoners something to worry about. And Ass is a much better go-to armor move than Assassin Strike. It's faster, has more active frames on the armor, can be done in the air, safer, leaves yout at full screen and is a HKD.
I'd assume it's the extra length of the fan lift lol
She's always been viable. She was not a top character? That's for sure. I noticed many people just complained and asked for buffs instead of leveling up. All I asked for was an overhead. My Kitana was already looking really good, it's all about utilizing all the tools you have, and I know she didn't have much but what she had was alright. Now she's a lot better but still, all you have to do is block low against her 'cause no overhead.
Yes, I agree, she'd be braindead if she would have had an overhead along with all those buffs. What I said is something different though, so let me rephrase: I would take an overhead over all of those buffs any day(Not buff+OH). Way different.
It sounds so hot. Tell me more
