KP2 is just a few months away, and as you all know, DLC characters come with a patch. Each character may get touched in some way and I'm pretty sure Kitana is a fair contender for some kind of patch treatment.
Now for the most part, I feel as if Royal Storm and Mournful are fine. Neither is OP or UP and can compete with just about anyone in the cast. If there was any changes I would like to see happen to those variations, it would be a faster startup to reflect in RS and a mid hitting ex shadow kick in Mournful. I don't think she needs anything else.
Assassin on the other hand...lol. I feel like this variation needs to be completely revamped. It's supposed to be her rushdown variation, but it just falls short of that. Mournful and RS are her zoning variations yet they have better rushdown capabilities than Assassin, and that's a problem. The main changes I would like to see is:
-Either 2 hits or armor on assassin strike or let it have more active armor. The armor is only active for such a small amount of time and this is supposed to be her "let me get in" move.
-Faster recover on both versions of sharpen. The move literally takes more than a second to recover and the only safe way to get it out is by sacrificing damage...good damage. It also lasts a short time.
-The ability to run/dash cancel Princess Parry. She can already hold onto it so being able to cancel it would make her parry even more threatening upclose and give Kitana that rushdown ability she needs in this variation.
-F2 an OH while sharpen is active (maybe...still on the fence on this one)
I have high hopes for Kitana next year and I hope she remains the fair, honest and balanced character she is now. Let's see what you guys think.
