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

[n0rv1s]

Kitana buffs is overhyped, she still the same. Our bae is only one who doesn't have a single mixup outside b3-xray.
She srsly needs more hit advance on her d1, and maybe tweak her d3 animation. But being +3 on hit for poke that had -7 on block is not good.

l can't agree that she doesn't have mix up's, simply you don't find them yet or just prefer not too

Or maybe you just don't know what mixup is.

 

[YoloRoll1stHit]

She obviously has amazing float mixup why can't you see that lol

 

[exflyingbooty]

anyone know if this is a bug - not just for beta - Kitana Bounce Back in Royal Storm doesn't reflect Predator smart disc. I think this is a bug and shouldn't be designed that way. thoughts???

His smart disc is considered a physical hit since if you hit him it goes away

 

[ragnar0kz28]

Now they only need to recycle her mk9 d3 make it 7 frames and we are good to go

 

[n0rv1s]

Maybe l don't or maybe l just don't mind to work a bit harder instead of mourning, obviously it would be great to have overhead following into full combo, but even with out it, she's just amazing!

"float mixups"

So after watching the kombat kast for alien, is it just me or was Kitana's damage nerfed hard?

It's the same. Royal storm gets less damage than assassin, plus, 16bit wasn't really doing the full optimal BnBs for Kitana.

You're right. Normally after fan/uplift you can do f4,3 I think to get more damage.

 

[evolution07]

Yeah. I've tested her combos using other methods that produce a bit more damage of about 1-3%.

Royal storm can get 36/37% meterless using the right strings

I don't ask for a overhead, i don't want my charachter be a generic 50\50. But im sure she deserves a better pokes, atleast more hit advance on d1 and different animation for d3.

 

[evolution07]

A 6f d3 is nice, but the range is still horrible. They could have altered it so it looks like mileenas or Cassie's. An overhead option would still be ideal. If they can give one to scorpion why not the princess?

 

[nathancorsini]

So, mournful got a bit nerfed? I didn't understand what he said on the stream...

EX glaive is less + but still +.

 

[evolution07]

The glaives are less plus on block so she can't loop and put in a frame trap

 

[nathancorsini]

EX glaive is less + but still +.

Thanks. I don't understand the nerf, it's like a thousand people are playing mournful and kicking all assess. Stupid.

Pretty sure you could get some nasty chip off of it, but don't quote me on that.

 

[xKhaoTik]

Remember the tech I found when 212 ex glaive was a continuous loop? It got nerfed, so certain characters were able to armor out of the returning glaives and all characters were able to backdash the returning glaive. It still looped on some characters tho.

Now it's less + so I'm guessing the characters it still looped on can now get out of it. It's still a powerful tool and I'm guessing it's still plus enough to continue pressure if they don't have meter

 

[xKhaoTik]

O and a 6f d3 is huge guys. Yes it has little range but it's still one of the fastest pokes in the game that has alot of advantage on hit.

Being able to poke out quickly and then start pressure is something she needed.

 

[evolution07]

So I asked Paulo why no overhead with f2 and this is what he said:

"probly cuz of the air fans which remove jumping as an option for opponents and are easily confirmable into kombos?"

I guess that's acceptable...

At first I thought the range sucked, but because it has a lot to hit advantage, it's a great frame trap

 

[Dramatique]

so 6f d3 is good, now we can actually do 21 into d3, which leads to +11 hit advance and can caught people pressing buttons(people like to counterpoke against Kitana even if you do it on hit, since d1 only +3 on hit) by b14exfan.

Why don't you just 21 into B14?

 

[evolution07]

Why don't you just 21 into B14?

D3 is 6 frames. B1 is a bit higher. After 21, you're plus on block, so doing d3 is to check someone trying to push a button, and then you can follow up from there if it hits.
