I'm platinum mad!
Im trying to learn Kitana, so i figured this thread would help us all out.
It's only 1% difference, up to you to take a potential hit confirmable string (21) or the extra chip that doesn't combo.I was wondering if it mattered if I used 112xcutter over 21xcutter. I understand you can instead cancel into the airlift, but if I wanted to commit to the block damage, would it be better to use 112 because it has an extra hit for more chip damage?
2-fan, 2-lift cross ups or just jk-air fanMy friend uses a lot of cross ups when he has already gotten in. Now my question is regarding this, which is better, Kitana's d+1 or d+4/d+3? I really haven't used d+4 or d+3 that much in my mix ups which I see to be a problem now. Which do you guys prefer? I thought her d+1 lowered her hitbox much more than her d+4/3. Can I get your inputs on this matter? What do you guys link up to the d+3/4's?
I dont have my PS3 right now at home, but Im planning to test out some blockstrings linked into those into grabs or something similar. What do you think?
Yes.On block, Does jip 112 cutter jail u standing so you cannot duck and Punish cutter?
Even if after the jip I hold down while blocking? That seems ridiculous since cutter on block gives her a huge advantage.Yes.
All moves except d+1 will jail cutter if they're blocked standing.
It's neutral on stand block.Even if after the jip I hold down while blocking? That seems ridiculous since cutter on block gives her a huge advantage.
Yeah it's good but if you block d+1~cutter you can get a full combo punish.But if I jump d1 cutter hits, if I poke her d1 beats mine. So my only option is to counter poke.
Lots use it. I probably use it too much tbh. On hit confirm of JiP f41 I dash 4~lift for 39% On block I try to either cutter, dash throw, dash d3, walk back to bait a jump in etc.JIP F41~cutter is 9% chip on block, and if you hit confirm, you acn replace the cutter with dash b33~lift for upper 30% dmg.
You can also just F41~Cutter for 20%, then go in for a safe jump and repeat F41~cutter to get 9% chip... 29% total, and you're left in that ideal state 16 mentioned earlier where you can D1, iaf, or punish a whiffed poke
Why is nobody using F41 off of a JIP? Seems to get the best of both worlds between 112 and 21

That is interesting, but the opponent would have to 1. read that its not a deep JIP and 2. risk getting blown up by poorly executing. Is that something we can realistically expect from our opponents that are still not punishing D1~cutter properly?If it's not a deep JIP it doesn't actually jail. Also I like the position of a blocked JIP 2,1~cutter more than 1,1,2~cutter and f+4,1~cutter.
what combo is thisIf you want to use 1 bar of meter, off a JIP you can do F41 ex fan into full F21 combo for 49%. I officially love the F41 string and I think I will use it off of every JIP going forward.
