I only play Assassin Kitana, I just couldnt play RS... I just hate the manchin. Maybe giving her 1 point of armor that lasts for the whole assassin charge would be good. I think the character in general needs a few tweeks considering B2 (her only overhead) being 25 frames and leading into nothing kindda suck, maybe adding a meterburn move after it for the Assassin variation to leave her + on block or to add more damage on hit would be cool or reduce the slow startup, fixing b1 hitbox in general, deleting d3 from the game its useless, has no range at all no point in using it, reduce startup of d4. All of this changes would be better than adding an overhead.

F2 being an overhead would make kitana broken. Stop asking for a broken character and learn to use the tools she already has. She is really good.

Kitana has air fans that lead to 33-35% combos. She is not a 50/50 character. She has her tools which are different. Level up. Sonic fox already demonstrated that you don't need an overhead combo launcher to be viable. Stop expecting kitana to be as cheap as quan chi. Besides Quan chi doesn't have an armored launcher or the air fans. SO LEARN TO USE HER TOOLS

Then if you know how to use her tools why do you need f2 to be an overhead? Aren't her tools good enough? That just demonstrates that you are not good enough with Kitana to trust the tools she already has which were good enough to win sonicfox evo and esl. Maybe assassin strike can be turned into an overhead and still be balanced, but f2 definitely not. That buff would definitely move kitana to tier S status or worse(broken tier).

Lol I really dont give a shit if you think Im not good enough with Kitana. Who the hell are you to judge? I wasn't even crying for buffs, it was more like a suggestion and I never said she's not good enough. Have a nice day

F2 is 19 frame....it's not broken but if they make F2 overhead they're certainly take away something from her "to balance things out"

She would have a low safe combo starter, an OH forward advancing safe combo starter, an armored launcher, iair fans that lead to combos and all for high damaging combos at least 30%. It would turn kitana into a combo festival, it would make it too easy for her to open people up for high damage.

This like a thread from the first month of the game where a suggestion to everything was make an afford it low

This game is rush down central but the only chars that solely rely on 50/50s to EU. Are Quan and Sonya IMO

To other chars they are just tools

From the recent nerds we know all she really needs is big dmg

So make the variation specials do more dmg and less scaling

I'll just use this for an example. When i'm playing assassin against piercing I want to pull my hair out. You can literally be a dipshit and spam low sai's all day and I have no real answer to that in assassin except a properly timed ex run or to literally do jump into float to bait you to try to teleport kick. When i'm in royal storm and i use booty, I can just go over the low sai because i really don't feel taking the risk of throat slice which i believe you can punish with f+3 or a real big damage starter while booty is a bit safer if you do block it. Royal storm does that meterless while I have to spend meter in assassin and if i don't time it correctly with the armor i still get blocked.

Royal storm plays keep out a lot better which most of time is something kitana wants to do. At certain points when I know i can't outzone people i have to rush in with this variation and then again kitana's tools aren't too good for it. There's only so many times i can do 2,1/b+1,4/b+3 and ect. While parry is abusable for mashy players, it's not recommended all the time because a smart player will just low you after a while.

Assassin is viable but royal storm is just easier to win with.

I dont see f+2 as an overhead being broken. Strong..hell yeah. Broken..maybeinMournful due to characters not being able to duck the glaive after 2u4, where as (using shotty jackie as example) I can dufk and instant run infor a full punish into shotgun vortexs. However Kitana(Mournful at least) doesnt get that much dmg off f2 anyway so its perfectly fine.

The thing with sharpen is the fact that NRS has to be careful on how to buff it. Sharpen combos do ABSURD damage, easily getting +60% from just a bar. The chip is massive too. Being able to combo into it or continue pressure would be too OP, unless they scale they damage, which I'll be fine with.

I don't know whats the problem in making it last longer or being faster. Liu Kang's buffing tool lasts like forever, HUGE chip and it starts extremely fast. Not to mention his easy (plus - with lows) combos. That's the why we face so many Liu's online. Why not making assassin Kitana better as well?

Kitana's sharpen starts very slow, very punishable and it lasts very little.
