Question - Kitana Why do I keep hearing Kitana is not that good?

Nah, its apart of her game - its the people who constantly spam the shit, Dont know about you, regardless if its apart of the game or not, its no fun, and i play the game to have fun.. not to get spammed like a bitch.


Nah, majority of the time my lao claps cheeks. But its pretty constant on xbox live the kat players are nothing but fan throwers and know little about the char itself.
Some characters are rushdown, some characters are zoners. Why should she come close if she doesn't have to? It's your job to get in, not her job to let you in. Watch sonicFox play. Arguably the best MKX player around and he technically "spams" as kitana.
 

LEGEND

YES!
Great character with some MUs that are really bad. Fortunetly Mournful handles her bad MUs for the most part

I do believe Royal Storm to be unviable at the highest level as a solo variation but hardly anyone is playing her bad MUs and the overall MUs knowledge vs Kitana is attrocious. But then again you could say the same thing about mk9 Kitana and look at her results. . .just depends on what you define as viable

lol..get to me, ha.

People on TYM get butthurt way too easy.

I watched Sonicfox play Perfect legend, i saw 90% of the time fans flying.. She's a good char, i'm not taking anything away from her. Im simply saying that the people that use her, majority of the time, spam. Its not fun.

I disagree. You can't jump at Royal Storm Kitana, so just play to make them want to.

Sounds like you need to play a Tremor, a Shinnok, a Predator, a Quan Chi, and just for funsies, Jacqui...if you think Kitana's zoning is godlike...
I main Lao, just picked up raiden and i'm learning him, slowly.
I do play tremor and pred but not like heavily.. They zone pretty good, but dude.. if people are just gonna zone thats a waste of time.

Well when you have one of, if not the best projectile in the game, why would you not "spam" them? Lol

Who do you consider her bad match ups?

So basically what you are saying is that people should play with Kit's weaknesses to make you happy - let you control the game and let you win. Fans are duckable - get in and hit her. If you can't, perhaps consider playing a character with a damaging teleport so that she has to be a bit more careful with fan spam. Fans are a big part of her tool set - they build meter and scare people to play ultra safe so they do not get hit. It is 100% legit.

Honestly, don't whine about a legitimate strategy for any fighting game with projectile characters. Learn how to get in effectively - she is not that scary up close.

I agree. And i understand, completely, to a point.

When i play a good kat player, she's really respectable. Infact some of the combos are nice and the fans aren't used more then 40% of the actual game.

I'm giving a opinion these mother fuckers on here get butt hurt as hell, when someone disagrees with them.

The % of fans used doesn't matter. If they want to throw fans all game, who cares? People are getting on you cause this is some scrub quotes talk

smh.

% maybe wasn't the right term.. But i'm saying they didnt't spam em the whole game. Why do i care? because its not fun.. there's no strat in it. I'd assume leave and find someone else to play. Again, my opinion.

Not to pile on, but you are playing Lao, a Top 3 character in the game lol. You have all the tools to win any MU in the game. If fans are zoning you out too easy look into why it's happening and use your character tools to put a stop to it. Also, use your great character to exploit her weaknesses and make them hate Lao the way you are talking about Kitana.

I know, like i said, its really just annoyance. I main lao because i like his game play - he's fast and honestly seems to be a very well rounded char, i've been maining lao since the game came out, buzzsaw wise, then i switched up to temps about 2 months ago.. been temp main ever since. And i'm very good.. But, i'm always looking to improve and really good kat players, do give me issues.

No they didn't buff her damage with the hotfix, her EX fan was doing double the damage scaling. Her damage went from like 46% to like 32% because of that
There was a Kitana thread a few days ago with someone saying he could do a bnb for 40-ish. Maybe it was a troll thread I dont know, my bad then. She should get some of her percentages back. But 46 is insane brah. She's still an effective character regardless. That was simply the point.
