If I were you I would master this combo before anything:
F21, NJP, 2 fan, dash, 2 air lift, dash, dash, B2, air fan, ground fan, 2 cutter, 40%

Pretty easy combo once you master the NJP, the way I do is I wait for Kitana's jump animation to start after the F21 and then I jump and slip through 1 and 2.

These guys covered it, but you need to also master dash blocking.

It will make your double dash that is required in many combos easier plus it is a good skill to have when you need it (fullscreen aaAir Fan ^_^)

Thanks alot you guys are awesome

This is one I can do fairly consistently, and I consider myself an advanced beginner

F21, B2~air fan, dash, fan, 2~cutter = 36%

I feel its not alot of moves, so there's not a lot to screw up.

 

[16 Bit]

f+2,1, f+2~fan toss, dash, 2~lift, dash, dash, b+2~fan toss, dash, fan toss, dash, 4~cutter is very easy 40%.

 

[greeneless]

jump in F2 1, B2 fan toss, dash, B2 fan toss. 37%, lol.

It's so simple, that I've never seen anyone do it except me.

Hey guys, i'm teaching a friend how to play Kitana and showed them a stream but they wanted to know how to do the upwards air fan that Mr. Mileena does all the time. Since i'm a Smoke player, I couldn't show them much per strategy but I was able to show them combos and such.

So how do you do the upwards air fan throw?

 

[rev0lver]

You mean instant air fan? It depends. 16bit and CD both just do up, down, forward 1. But Mr Mileena and I do up, back, down, forward 1. The circular motion is much more natural IMO, but it comes down to personal preference. I've heard that it's easier to hit a standing opponent from fullscreen with the first technique, but I haven't had a problem with the other way.

If you're talking about the air fan going more vertical, I think you're referring to air fans being used twice in a combo. It's not a technique, it's a game mechanic to avoid infinites. It drops the opponent faster making it harder to continue a combo (but you can get a dash 2~cutter at the right distance). It's usually only used for an extra % or 2 in unbreakable combos. Also, from fullscreen it will not always connect as it is going upward.

That's what I do.
