General/Other - Assassin [EO Beta Closed] MKX Online Beta Kitana Buffs

[SeasonedGeisha]

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.
R.I.P Cassie Cage.

Assassin being buffed is a huge buff for everybody who plays this game as it means more chance of Kitana players covering that god awful Jawline.

I made a video of her new frame data (this may or may not be accurate to the actual data in-game):

The things I noticed comparing the video to the current game are as follows:

• f4 is now -2 on block up from -6
• NJP is now -9 on block down from -8
• Throw Cancel Advantage is now 34 up from 32 (cancel adv on throw? wtf)
• Normal Sharpen recovery is now 54 frames down from 73
• EX Sharpen recovery is now 30 frames down from 55

Here's what's new with sharpen and things I've observed

Faster recovery on sharpen (and ex) for assassin!

Current build: 73
Ex: 55

Beta build:
Regular: 54 recovery
Ex: 30

Startup is still 1 frame

Sharpen lasts longer! I believe it's about 10 seconds now for regular and ex from what I could tell.

There's new intro dialogue between Kitana mirrors. They call each other a slut for sleeping with Liu kang lol

[nathancorsini]

OMG. EX Sharpen into combos. Here I come!

 

[nathancorsini]

I neeeeeeeeeeeeed that beta code right now.

 

[champdee]

oh that's pretty cool! Damn I haven't played in less than 2 days almost and kitanas in the beta? Sick! No mournful changes or anything right? She probably doesn't really really need anything but hey it'd be nice right

 

[Cameronwinss]

@xKhaoTik you did this. I'm not ready for these buff or all of these kitana "mains" coming from nowhere.

I stuck with here since day 1 so this is just amazing but her pokers are still very bad, what about Ex Assassin Strike does it have full armor?

 

[RexxyC]

I've been Assassin since Day 1, glad to see it's finally paying off.

Yes

 

[STRYKIE]

There's new intro dialogue between Kitana mirrors. They call each other a slut for sleeping with Liu kang lol

Since they might've called cast the original VAs to do dialogue for their characters vs KP2 characters, maybe there's new dialogue all round?

Yes

Jesus listened to us. I'm assassin since day one as well. Finally we will riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiise!

 

[nathancorsini]

How about her parry, still the same? And nothing new on mournful and royal storm? @xKhaoTik

Thank you for that loss to show us all our new assassin! Now tell me you kicked that Jacqui ass after that :16Bit

 

[exflyingbooty]

I really don't think mournful/royal storm needed anything lol

 

[nathancorsini]

Just asking to confirm... I don't think it needs anything, as well...

No changes, but apparently the beta changes aren't all the changes a character has went through. So maybe we'll see more
