I posted about this in beginning of the thread. Go look.Is the duration of Ex sharpen and regular sharpen different from non beta? Is it longer or shorter?
Only fox can win tournaments with her. I haven't seen anyone come close, and I don't doubt that someone else can do it, but he's the only one so far.Hopefully these changes stay. I kinda have a feeling that she'll be nerfed after she starts winning tournaments
Didn't she and Kenshi get the most buffs in MKX so far? I could be mistaken.Finally, she got buffed. I'm so happy right now. As far as I can tell at this point. Her EX sharpen is extremely fast, not sure the exact frame data, but if you can combo after a lift into ex sharpen.
Normal Sharpen now has the pre-patch( or close to) properties of EX sharpen.
Honestly I may switch my main variation to Assassin. Also she can now apply pressure with 21 EX sharpen into 111. Finally, I think Assassin is extremely viable.

damage buff and now it seems like she gets frame advantage off of itDidn't she and Kenshi get the most buffs in MKX so far? I could be mistaken.
What does sharpen do? I literally never played as Kitana lol.
She can do much more damage while sharpen is on.Didn't she and Kenshi get the most buffs in MKX so far? I could be mistaken.

To all moves or just her fans?She can do much more damage while sharpen is on.
Sharpen only affects her fan moves. it can get pretty ridiculous damage lol almost in the way kotal gets his from his totem, minus the parry damage he gets which is extreme.To all moves or just her fans?
The whole point of a damage buff is to increase the damage output, so reducing her damage in assassin would make no sense and render the sharpen pointless. Blood God kotal should then have damage scaling adjustment when he uses his damage buff totem, but again, why have the option there if people are gonna cry they're losing to something that's part of the variation system?This is crazy this variation is going to be broken unless they do some damage scale adjustments. I don't think she needs this kind of buff. I was doing pretty well using assassin without mid combo sharpen. 50 or 40% unbreakable mid screen. Crazy crazy crazy S+ tier shit. If you look at how sonicfox used her he was using her main tools mostly and not many of her RS variation specific things so Assassin could have achieved the same success. Mid combo sharpen makes assassins many times better than Royal storm or mournful.
Sure blood god can do the same mid combo but I mean he doesn't have the same tools as kitana. Lets say zoning for example, now kitana can do blood god buffs mid combo and she can also zone and she can control the air she is way nastier than blood god. Its a big change man.The whole point of a damage buff is to increase the damage output, so reducing her damage in assassin would make no sense and render the sharpen pointless.

Kitana having sharpen does not automatically place her in S Tier lol lets not be silly. if that's true then blood God kotal is automatically s tier
No. Kotal can do more damage. If he activates a mace parry, plus a totem or cuts himself for more damage, that's like instant death, just by the mace parry alone.Sure blood god can do the same mid combo but I mean he doesn't have the same tools as kitana.

This big unbreakable damage is situational. First, sharpen must be active; Second, they have to get hit during sharpen active frames, then she has to use a bar of meter to extend the unbreakable portion. More than likely she will have used two bars for this.This is crazy this variation is going to be broken unless they do some damage scale adjustments. I don't think she needs this kind of buff.

I think her throw dmg is increased as well.Sharpen only affects her fan moves. it can get pretty ridiculous damage lol almost in the way kotal gets his from his totem, minus the parry damage he gets which is extreme.
It's because she uses her fans on her throw. Every move which uses her fans will get buffed after sharpen.I think her throw dmg is increased as well.
I read somewhere that her ex rising fans were somehow excluded from the damage buff during sharpen. I haven't tested that in the beta to see if it still holds true, so if someone could test that it would be great.It's because she uses her fans on her throw.

Yes, but only a 2% increase, from 12>14. If she can land assassin strike while sharpen is active, it becomes the enhanced ex version with two stabs instead of one without spending a bar of meter and will take 23% instead of 19%.I think her throw dmg is increased as well.
