Thanks a lot for testing it, I'm still in Raleigh and don't actually own a copy of MK so it's hard for me to test little things like this.
Really? I don't think Lao's spin has the range to interrupt it, but really? Is it just the stun from the f2? Because I'm sure you can easily poke out of it.
They can jump out of fake out kick done off of f2. I don't think that there is a move in her arsenal that gives enough frame advantage to make them block db4.
This can be dealt with by moving backwards after hitting the NJP. Even if they bounce you can still hit the 4 xx Ground Fan without any problems.
^^ This. It happens quite often in the left corner, but it's nothing to worry about.
The good thing about Kitana making her opponents duck often is that it allows her to do crossup jps and jk~fan setups.
I'd like some suggestions too. Otherwise I may just go to hitbox lol
The way I do it on pad seems like it would also be the best way on a fightstick, which is a counter-clockwise motion. It's pretty natural with the hand/thumb, and is also advantageous in that it's a backward jump. Therefore you have the option of a closeup iaf (which I sometimes use to anticipate a jump) with a lesser risk of being hit by short range attacks.
For a basic one, you can do iaf, dash, ground fan, dash, 2~fan, dash, 2(or f2)~cutter. I think there's a thread/post somewhere on the Kitana board with an AA combo compilation.
Yes, that's more likely due to lag than your timing. I use combos that start with f21, njp, and whenever it's too laggy for that I go to b2. Sometimes that doesn't even work with certain connections, and I don't know what the hell to do.
Up close, just know to block because his pressure will most likely beat out all of your standing normals. The only way to get out of it is to throw out some d1~cutters and try to cross him up. His projectile shouldn't be killing you, the only reason that would be happening is if he gets the timing advantage. If that happens, block his projectile, immediately throw an iaf, and you should have enough time to block before his reaches you again, and you can keep pressuring from there.
A good combination of damage and ease is 2~fan, 2~lift, dash, b2~air fan, dash, fan, dash, 4~cutter for both ball and telekick (non ex)
If the connection is so laggy that you can't connect b2 then replace it with a jump kick to air fan. It's much easier.
no she doesnt have advantage. its safe on block. you cant punish it youre both left at 0.
