MK9 | This One's For The Fans: Kitana General

I’m gonna update the OP later, been busy/lazy.

And about matchup indications, what are Kitana’s wakeup options? How do you fight against Liu Kang and Scorpion?

Okay now every time I come here I have this random toolbar show up. Either it’s an ad I can’t get rid of or SRK has some fucked up security.

Nevermind I got it. Shits ridiculous though, it’s like the third time SRK has had one of those.

Yo I have a kitana alt outfit, anyone have an outfit they wanna trade for it? (xbox 360)

That video is just awsome :slight_smile:
I didnt knew you could cancel the dash quicker to do the combo,so i always waited until the dash was over.
Now it works sometimes so ill just keep praticing until i can do it.
A good tip for myself is for the part before the fanlift,i just buffer dash until i see the fan hit en then press the next combo,this way my hitrate was much bigger
Thanks for the video and help,it contains pretty much everything i need to know combowise from kitana.

One more question,how are you canceling the ex fans?

You can hold to charge EX Fans, so hold and dash and the 2nd won’t come out.

So what is a reliable bread and butter you guys are using with her? Due to various lag situations and what not, I’d like to know one that doesn’t involve too much air tight timing / dashing and shit.

This is what I do due to lag.

F+2~1, B+2~Fan toss, ff, Fan toss, F+2, Cutting Fan.

Doing her straight jump Punch after her F+2~1 online right is a major bitch due to lag.

I’m loving Kitana right now I have some decent bnbs trying to get down some of the ones in here, she too fun with all that air juggling.

Thanks, this’ll really help me out, I main kitana in this game. Gotta love the thread title too, very clever. :wink:

quick question :

the only way to cancel her ex fan is to dash? was watching THE combos video and it doesn’t look like the guy is dashing but that might just be crappy tube quality or my terrible eyes

Yeah look at combo #3.

ya well thats exactly what im referring to, he/you just seem to jump without dash

When you get used to dash cancelling, you can pretty much jump during the first few frames of the dash. I dash and instantly jump without waiting to see if the dash comes out or not.

Not sure if this is posted, but you can combo off a jumping kick

jumping 3/4 xx air fan (land) > fan > dash > 2 xx cutter

30~%

edit
jumping 3/4 xx air fan (land) > fan > dash > 3 xx qcb3 (forgot the move name) does 32~%
jumping 3/4 xx air fan (land) > fan > dash > sweep for a possible reset, though since I’m new to MK, i wouldn’t know what kind of resets I would able to follow up with.

2nd edit
it appears you can go even more with these. I got a 38% variant no meter but not sure how
jumping 3/4 xx air fan (land) >2 fan > dash > 2 fan
and then I got a 40% with 1 meter but I couldn’t finish it (it appears you can tack on maybe a b2 xx air fan
jumping 3/4 xx air fan (land) >2 fan > dash > 2 (2x) fan…

3rd edit

BnB 35~%
jumping 3/4 xx air fan (land) >4 fan > 2 cutter

midscreen combo - 33% damage - 10 hits - will carry opponent to corner from center of arena and leave you at full screen distance with the option of dashing in before wakeup or playing ranged.

j.p, f+4, 1, dash, b+3, upraise, j.k, air fan, j.k, square boost. 33% - easier
j.p, f+4, 1, dash, b+3, b+3, upraise, j.k, air fan, j.k, square boost. 36% - trickier

Why am I not seeing the BnB 51% and 58% with one bar in this thread o_O

Notation … jps = Jump Punch Starter aka combos started with a jump punch.

51% NO METER anywhere combo - f21, u1/2, dash~4~Fan, dash~4~Fan Lift, dash, dash, b2~Air Fan, dash, Fan, dash, 4~Cutter
58% - jps~21~EX Fan, Dash Cancel~uf, jps~f21, u1/2, dash~4~Fan, dash~4~Fan Lift, dash, dash, b2~Air Fan, dash, Fan, dash, 4~Cutter

You can see them in action here: [media=youtube]2Rc821UEgIc[/media]

I’m getting blown up on wake up, does anyone know what her best wakeup option is?

Square Boost, or block
