Sup fellas. I haven't checked on this thread in a while so I thought I'd chime in based on some of what's been posted,in the meantime.
I've tempered myself on having an OH starter like I wanted last year. That said, if F2 did become an OH, I wouldn't say no lol (if you get 50/50d by a 19 frame overhead you deserve to be comboed Khao. Just throwing that out there). Still, adjusting her frames as mentioned above, fixing her quirks (the glitches), and basically just polishing her moveset a bit will do just fine.
To clarify, I'd want either s2 to become a mid or all of the other changes I mentioned,for F2, B3, D1 et al to happen as far as her normals are concerned. I still think all of the changes I mentioned for her specials need to happen for her to compete unless the top tiers get hammered with the N-stick.
For the record, MK9 Kitana was absolutely top 10. She wasn't too 5 by any stretch but her normals, damage output, throw capability, escapability, and mobility in general made her a goddess. If enhanced pretty kick was a mid (or an overhead)and had armor on it, she would have been top 5 easily but not so. Overall her tournament resume thanks to guys like bit, CD, khao, me, Mr. Mil, et al can be out up against any other character really. You combine her mk9 normals with her mkx armor and frame traps and she's Damn near undefeatable. Btw, the scarlet MU was even for Kit at worst. I played with the best scarlet in MK9 history every single day and it was always back and forth.
