Hey all,
A good friend of mine mains Sonya Blade, usually playing Demolition these days, and Online (PC), I'm having a ridiculous time against him with Kitana.
With Mileena, I shut him down. My Piercing Mileena he has lots of trouble with and I usually take him 7-3 or 6-4, my Ravenous Mileena is on par and we go back and forth, haven't tried Ethereal yet.
For the Princess, different story. We just did a set, 10 matches, and I was 3-7. I did 2 matches as Assassin and lost both. 2 or 3 as Royal Storm and I took 1, and the rest as Mournful and took 2, almost taking a 3rd.
I recorded this set and hope to have it on YouTube either tomorrow night or Saturday and will post for feedback when it's up.
But basically, how should Kitana approach this match up? Since I did the best with Mournful I'm likely going to stick with that. The mid projectile and better wake up options, as well as Air Glaive being an Overhead really helped.
Note my friend does _not_ know those crazy Demolition kombos we've seen at tourneys, though he does use grenades in mix-ups. I have lots of trouble with his Dive Kick and I find it very hard to punish Online. Being able to shut this down, I think I could draw at least even with him. I also still muck up blocking her 50/50's, but I'm getting better at that. I also find I respect the X-Ray too much and that's caused me to hesitate too much to my lose.
Thanks in advance.
