Combo List - Kitana Kitana Combo thread

I'm somewhat new to NRS games (been a long term SF Vet though), but I spent a couple of hours with the PS4 version of MKX on Wednesday and began working on a simple proof of concept:

What type of silly and ridiculous combos can you do with a X-Ray finisher? I've not really done video stuff before, so please excuse my noobness.

Proof #1 starts at 2:52 into the video (direct-capture from PS4):


Once I get my hands on another rental copy or purchase the game, I'll be able to explore more fully this scenario. Peace!

I still have no idea which corner combos I should use.. which are your reliable, damaging, w/o meter corner combos you came up with?

Hey guys. This is my first post, so I wasn't really sure about which thread my comment would be more useful. During my practice sessions w/ kitana (assassin), I noticed that majority of her normals into ex fans would put her d1 fan throw out of range but by including a run cancel, we can pull off a much needed extension

Given a missed d1, leaves us with a crappy 17 to 20% damage output and wasted meter. Maybe this isn't new but I thought I'd create an account just to be sure. I started with 3,3 ex fans but missed every d1. It's a very strict timing but pretty cool to pull off. I'm sure most of you solid players would have no trouble making it a normal connect.

something I just now noticed in the video I uploaded earlier ....

There's a combo that resets into an XRay @ 5:25 ... 20% on the initial combo, but not a full XRay on the reset (that subsequently does 21%). I'm planning on some more lab time this coming week with the game again, and I'm gonna compile some of the combos from here and try my PoC shown above for an ender. I have a feeling that with the right combo and a full XR ender, we could see 60%.

Could someone with a purchased copy test the reset scenario?? I'm guessing it's easily blocked due to the nature of the reset, but anything's possible this early in the game's life.

Sounds interesting I'll work with it later today.

So I went back and looked at your video. That's not a reset that's just the computer waking up into the X-ray.

Could we break down Kitana's combo flow?

I have
jip~f112~fan~jip+AirFan~4 (32% I believe) as her mainstay bnb for now.

According to my sources...
Been messing around with Kitana midscreen combos with Assassin and came up with a couple. Here's one: JiP f43 f43 f4 df1 dash f4 db1 NJP AF db3 (38%) you can probably sub in the NJP with JiK AF f3 xx db3 for 1 or 2 more percent. Another one is about 42% which is 1 bar midscreen which is the same as above but after NJP and AF you do ex df1 db3.

All combos are meterless and midscreen.
They also are all doable on Assassin's variation, you might exchange db1 and df1 order for some of them.

Can a senior forum member please start a thread like this with a list of main B&B's/key kombos in the first post which can be edited? As a casual who wants to eventually be competitive at this game, it would be really helpful to have information on hand rather than trawling through 100 posts.

I made a video of the meterless BnB's I'm using midscreen and in the corner at the moment. All starting from her common strings of 111, F112, B14, and F22U4. I'm sure they aren't quite optimal but I figure I'd throw them out there. All work in both Assassin and Royal Storm variations.


The midscreen combos can also end in Assassin Strike in the Assassin variation. I just change the 11 at the end to a D1 to combo more easily into Assassin Strike. I mainly use it so that I will end the combo on the other side.

Basically, it's best to try to get into 111~fan or f112~fan, then dash in f4,3, then go from there.

From that, I tend to do j.4~air fan, dash in 1, fan lift then ender of choice (usually j.3,db3 for about 35%).

GF = Ground Fan
AF = Air Fan
TS = Throat Slice (BF3)
SS = Same Side (you end the combo facing the same direction you started the combo on)
CS = Change Side (you end the combo facing the opposite direction you started the combo on)

NOTE: These are primarily for Royal Storm. To substitute Assassin Strike in Assassin variation, end with Run~2~AS instead as attack 2 cancels to special really fast.

Ground Fan starters (using f112 instead of 111 adds about 5%):
111~GF, dash, f43, JK~AF, dash, 21~Lift (or Run~f4+Lift), NJP, (can add Run~3~ for 1% more) TS (32% CS)
111~GF, f22u4~AF, dash, 21~Lift, NJP, TS (28% SS)
111~GF, dash, f4~Lift, NJP, JK~AF, dash, 21~TS (30% SS)
aaGF, (timed) Run~f43, JK~AF, Run~f4~Lift, NJP, Run~3~TS (36% CS)
f2~EX GF, d1~GF, Run~u2~AF, Run~f4~Lift, NJP, Run~3~TS (40% SS)
f2~EX GF, d1~GF, JK~AF, Run~f4~Lift, NJP, Run~3~TS (42% SS) *new*

Air Fan starters:
f22u4~AF, dash~b, f43, 3~GF, Run~f4~Lift, NJP, Run~3~TS (34% CS)
f22u4~AF, dash~b, f43, 3~GF, Run~21~Lift, NJP, (can add Run~3~ for 1% more) TS (33% CS)
f22u4~AF, dash, f33~GF, dash, 21~Lift, NJP, Run~3~TS (32% SS)
(1/2 screen+) aaAF, GF, Run, f43, f4~Lift, NJP, Run~3~TS (34% CS)
(1/2 screen or closer) aaAF, Run~111~GF, Run~f4~Lift, NJP, Run~3~TS (29% SS)

NJP starters:
NJP, f43, f33~GF, Run~u2~AF, Run~f4~Lift, F4~TS (36% CS)
NJP, f43, f43, 3~GF, Run~u2~AF, Run~f4~Lift, f4~TS (37% SS)

JK starters:
JK~AF, f33~GF, dash, 21~Lift, NJP, Run~3~TS (37% SS)
JK~AF, f43, f43, 2~GF*, Run~f4~Lift, NJP, (can add Run~3~ for 1% more) TS (40% CS)
JK~AF, f43, f4~GF, Run~F4~Lift, NJP, Run~3~TS (39% SS) **You can end with Run~f11~TS for 40%

Kitana Option Selects!

f2~qcf+1+2+3~u4 and b14~qcf+1+2+3
Either they block and she does the blockstring normally or it hits and the f2 or b14 cancels to EX Fan for a 40%+ combo.

Nothing or less. The reason is that they aren't so radically different that they'd warrant a thread, as far as we can tell for now.
Don't worry though, it will always be clear which variation a combo is for.

XD yeah, I started out with assassin but all the combos made for rs and the bounce back won me over

Heads up!
So I'm working on my quick punish combo.

F21-fan-f43-jk-air fan-f4-lift-njp-f4-throat slice.

Works pretty well on a punish but does 34 in assassin, 35 in royal storm. Not sure why...

Maybe Fan Lift scales differently in Royal Storm? That's about all I can think of.

Heads up!
Very situational 45% midscreen 1 bar.

F3 ex fan. D1 fan. F43 21 lift jk fan. Jk square boost. They need to be in your face and it's a punish. Don't just yolo F3 ex fan.
