Tactics~Credit to Konqrr
Spoiler:

General:
* Punishing blocked moves that put your opponent packaged in a rolling ball of fun - Time your attack to hit them when they land on the ground to maximize your damage potential.
* You must master the instant air fan (iAF). It's much simpler in this game than in previous games. Just press up then immediately do the fan. If you did it right, your fan must be blocked or ducked. You can also do this with the Air Square Boost.
* Air Square Boost is her best move for getting out of the corner. Don't just throw it out there though, if you are hit out by a jab, you will eat a corner combo and be in the same situation. You can jump back then do the ASB at the peak of your jump to make sure you get out safely.

Re: Kitana- "You'll learn Respect!"

I was going to create the Kitana thread, you know. But I guess it's okay. Anyway, she is my favorite character in the game.
 
Re: Kitana- "You'll learn Respect!"

A Kitana thread, that' nice! Let me help you a little: I know that Kitana is a good zoner, specially because of her air fan throw and her square boost. Some medium difficulty combos:

6 hits 32% damage:
Jump punch, F+2, 1 - B+2, air fan toss - square boost

11 hits 43% damage:
Jump punch, F+2, 1 - B+2, air fan toss - double dash - 3, fan toss - F+2, cutting fan

10 hits 48% damage:
Jump punch, F+2, 1 - B+2, air fan toss - jump kick, air X-Ray
 
Re: Kitana- "You'll learn Respect!"

I'm glad there's finally one. Thank you for making one. I have a few friends that are maining Kitana so this will be perfect for them to study and learn~
 
Re: Kitana- "You'll learn Respect!"

Thanks for this guide but aren't there any meterless combos out there? sorry to be picky :P
 
Re: Kitana- "You'll learn Respect!"

Updated!
- Many combos added.
- A little bit of text color added.
 
Re: Kitana- "You'll learn Respect!"

Is it me or there are too much combos?

You shouldnt repeat the same combo with a different starter, just use the morea damaging starter, but its ok is your thread, still very good info.
 
Re: Kitana- "You'll learn Respect!"

Could you maybe make the combos a bit neater. It's hard to tell where one starts and the other begins
 
Re: Kitana Thread - "You'll learn Respect!"

Nice thread! Love the text format for the kombos, very organized!

A few pointers:

-The L in "learn" in the thread title needs to be capitalized.

-A small summary of Kitana should be added to the beginning of the first post.

-Matchups section need serious work. Not every opponent will use "General" tactics.
 
Re: Kitana Thread - "You'll learn Respect!"

i got a combo

30% cutting fan, f2+1, jumpkick, fan toss(air)

(the cutting fan itself is 9% an added to with the rest which is 21%... is 30%)

EDIT add a 2 at the end

Yeah well I can't edit the thread's title no more, or atleast not that I know of. And i'll also try to add as many tactics for different match ups.
 
Re: Kitana Thread - "You'll learn Respect!"

I actually have a question about the character, is she supposed to look asian, white or both?

I mean here skin color says asian but her eyes say otherwise
 
Re: Kitana Thread - "You'll learn Respect!"

Kitana is just wonderful in this game, her moves are fantastic good and she is incredible fun to use. Thanks for the post !!
 
Re: Kitana Thread - "You'll learn Respect!"

Very nice thread. Just on specials, her square wave attack is no longer a punch, but a back charge. So it should be called the Square Wave Charge. Plus, I don't see any changes to the color of the text.

But overall, very good overall thread. If you need help with the color, I can tell you how.

Now, on to Kitana, she's very insane with her air juggling combo. I seen someone used her and did a 39% with just one enhanced move. Very insane.

Agreed. If they fix the lag I will start using her online. Right now she suffers a lot from the netcode. Offline I can do some pretty crazy stuff with her.

I only added color text on the Complex Combos spoiler, although I would love to add color to the other spoilers as well. Maybe when I get time i'll even add her Bio and some other things that i'm missing.
