Kitana Revealed!

[MENTION=12345]Tarkatan Trash[/MENTION] and I fought a bit yesterday. It was a bit laggy so I kept dropping combos, but fun nonetheless. These were my first online MKX matches hehe :)


 
[MENTION=5186]Goddess[/MENTION] - how are you liking MKX Kitana verses previous versions. Which variation are you maining. since the games has dropped did expectation of Kitana change?

Well, as I said before, my Kitana does need more practice.

And while we're on the topic of Kitana, [MENTION=17744]Elias6999[/MENTION] just posted in the Just Talk thread that he is thinking of starting a Kitana guide. I've already brought up 2 of her kombos that can be chained into a Fan Throw (including 1, 1, 1, which I used in some of my fights against [MENTION=5186]Goddess[/MENTION]...ummm...were you aware of that before going against me, or did I end up teaching you that?), if Kitana users are interested in contributing.

[MENTION=12345]Tarkatan Trash[/MENTION] for more damaging but harder combos, start with F43 F43 3 fan lift. Chrck for my 41% combo a few pages back or check my posts from my profile.

I like it/don't like it at the same time. I love how in-depth everything is, but I really don't like how I cannot just connect attacks easily like in MK9 (that goes for all the characters). As for Kitana, I do love the way she plays. I think this game has the best move set in this game than in any other game before. She has a great variety in outfits, and her variations are unique.

There is one thing that bothers me with Kitana's variation, however. Why on earth did NRS give Assassin Kitana all black when Mournful should've been the variation with that costume difference? Assasin Kitana should've been default Ktana with the mask. Royal Storm Kitana is perfect the way she is so I'm glad that's the Kitana I main. But, I don't like playing as Assassin Kitana because she has the weird paint over her eyes and has black clothing on. It just makes sense that someone in mourning should be wearing black.

Allow me to speak as someone who wears black damn near all the time in street clothes.

The color black doesn't just represent mourning. It also represents of danger, evil, death, things of that nature, so it does fit the Assassin variation.

Also, the black eyeliner is supposed to make her look more intimidating, in connection with that variation. I've never worn it myself, though; it doesn't look good with blond hair anyway (but I have worn black fingernail polish at metal concerts a few times). Let me show you a couple of Shock Rockers who are known to wear black eyeliner...

(And don't get me started on those Norwegian bands who wear "Corpsepaint"...I could go on all day with that.)

Black is also a very neutral colour, lets you blend in with your surroundings, especially when sneaking around at night as it makes it harder to see any form of details when it's all black in the dark. Perfect for an assassin.
 
The parries in this game are hogwash. Kitana's can parry highs, mids, throws and some lows.

Makes no sense. She can parry Kotal's sword attacks, but can't parry the first mid hit of his sword unblockable? What's the criteria?
