[gibster13]

D1...that is all

It looks beautiful

I'm really hoping parry can change some matchups against teleporters, 50/50 characters and the Tempest Hatspin blockstrings.

where are these patch notes?

 

[I GOT HANDS]

I was riding with you guys to begin with, but if you ain't happy just to sit and chill for a minute with everything you just got, then I'd seriously start to suspect some of you won't be happy until you have Sonya's mix ups, Quan Chi's vortex, Kenshi's zoning under Kitana's skin. The buffs look very good so far. Maybe they won't be enough, time will tell. As of now, the patch has only been out a couple of hours and hasn't even made it to all the consoles yet. Let it breathe guys

who isnt happy? i think every kitana main is over the moon right now!

 

[Wemfs]

I would've thought the Kitana forum would be in upheaval after receiving 15 buffs in one patch. Pretty silent for the most part. Has the damage already been done and there's no Kitana main's left to celebrate?

Them hoes ain't loyal to the princess. They jumped ship right away at the beginning.

 

[wndrboy2k3]

Screw the people who jumped shipped. I can hardly breath, princess is bringing the storm!! LOVE the enhanced uprise... they WILL learn respect!

 

[Miss Kanzuki]

Well I'm certainly happy. I love the new fan toss, D1, and 21. I always wanted to pressure with 21 but couldn't before.

 

[RunwayMafia]

D1...that is all

Yup. This is actually a really big buff.

My birthday was Sunday so I'm going to assume these buffs were my bday gifts from Paulo. Lol

 

[Mista_Snacks]

Lol at f1 being -34 at some point.

Seriously tho.... This d1 is insane and the armored launcher has won me a lot of matches already

My combo is super simple from it

Ex db2 > f4 fan > f4 lift >f33 TS an easy 31% till I come up with something better

 

[wndrboy2k3]

This patch has really opened up a lot of new doors. Her footsie game is back and the improved parry makes her more viable in a game full of 50/50. I'm glad they didn't give her a crazy overhead starter.

 

[xWildx]

You have to be really careful when pressuring her now. Not only do we have a better parry, but we can armor through gaps and get a ~32% combo. It's fantastic <3

99% of the posts here are overwhelmingly positive. Go do something else with your hands, because no one knows what the fuck you are typing about.

 

[Big Pampering]

What do you guys think about the assassin variation now?

Great start, gonna be in the lab this afternoon. An armored DP that can be combo'd into makes this Christmas... no one was even asking for that and we got it lol

What do you guys think about the assassin variation now?

tbh probably still her weakest variation IMO, but it is better now with the faster start up of her parry.

 

[BloodyNights]

Just thought I'd ask, is there a trick to getting the fan to connect after a EX DB2? I can usually combo it just fine in training against a dummy but against a person the fan seems to whiff a lot. lol

 

[Error404]

Is she now viable to you guys? I don't think so, but she's certainly not beta anymore to me. Of course, she's a lot safer, but they almost completely left her wakeup game and zoning game off fleek. What do you think?

If you don't play Kitana keep yo insufficient ass opinion outta here.

20 buffs later still not happy. LOL

in the kitana message thread i actually said being able to cancel DP into air fan would be awesome and it would give us an armoured launcher, i think a few people mentioned it but didnt really expect it to happen.


im perfectly fine with kitana not having a 50/50 now, i dont think she needs it after these changes.

Well good then the Kitana community got heard after all!

I don't think she does either. If someone still is asking for 50/50 then you just want a brain dead character and don't want to work.

I had some issues with it coming out too fast to hit my opponent, but I've since been adding a float before the fan toss, (EXDB2~DB2~DF1) and the timing works out much better, as well as gaining that tiny extra meter for doing that extra special.

If your problem is the fan going under the opponent, I would recommend doing a float instead, and then the air fan. Or you could simply delay the fan.

If your issue is the fan not coming out at all, I noticed you cant really be mashing fan toss after the rising blades. You have to wait for the 2nd hit to connect before canceling.

Good Luck!

Someone can't read italics...

1. And it was 14 buffs and 1 Nerf, get it right.

 

[Skedar70]

Rising Blades can now be special move 2in1’d out of on hit

What does that mean? Is that fancy talk for cancelled?[/Q

Yes if it hits it can be cancelled into a special. Preferably air fan to combo. So her wake up is now much better since you can now combo.
