Mattatsu Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Earlier today i tried a Kitana custom with ground war, low fan, and the downward air fan and i likedĀ it. Itās not super strong, but once you catch a few peopleās D2 AA attempts with it, it gets them second guessing. I pretty much need ground war and low fan, and i think thatās probably the best other 1 slot move for her, for my playstyle anyway. Ā Not givingĀ up mileena though.Ā they actually compliment each other very well. I cant think of too many horrible matchups with both of themĀ to pick from. My only struggle is from better players.

Literally the first thing I did after booting the game since I hate that mechanic with every fiber of my being. Iād pay 100 bucks to be able to turn it off in Street Fighter. Obviously I have no trouble hitting a raw FB but in a combo it drops like 1/4th of the time no matter how simple the combo is and idk why. Ā In other news, I love Frostās gameplay but itās funny that she is not even in my top 5 aesthetically. She is probably my least favorite female ninja but the others all have gameplay issues that turn me off to them.Ā Jade has no damage without using her 28f launcher or burning a KB,Ā Skarlet has one combo, Kitana has almost no offense, and Mileena has basically one variation. Frost is the only one I find well rounded enough to be enjoyable.Ā Quote Link to comment

He has probably the best overhead in the game, a low special he can make safe with meter, good unbreakable damage (ice ball), probably the best neutral/punish special in the game (slide), great KBs, and versatile buttons. His base kit is very well rounded and he is very easy to pickup and play. The only reason I donāt use him is that I find him too linear. HeĀ has basically one combo path, few strings, and only a couple decent variation moves,Ā and his āholdĀ this high/lowā offenseĀ gets repetitive. Heās basically the exact same character at 200Ā hours as he is at 2. Attitude and style wise heās very cool tho šĀ Ā Speaking of aesthetics, Mileena has the best in the game bar none. Great animations, voice lines, and gear/skins. Gameplay is wise she is imo kinda mediocre...not bad but definitely not as good as Sub. Command grab gives her a decent throw game, she has a base kit teleport, and her Sai projectile is really good. However her buttons are on the short side, and she has trash choices for variation moves...she effectively has one variation with 2 mandatory moves and your choice of a gimmicky/bad third move.Ā Tbh aesthetics are the only reason I pay her any mind, she does almost nothing I like gameplay wise.Ā Skort and Mattatsu 2 Quote Link to comment

Volta Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Sub's neutral game is awful though, he has not a single good mid poke which is vital in this game. Once people learn how to fuzzy guard the F2/B3 mixup it becomes pretty difficult to open them up. Quote Link to comment

With that in mind his neutral is definitely not as good as I thought but I think itās still good enough for what else he has. B1 and slide are still great whiff punish tools, eating even one of his projectiles leads to full combo punish, and has b3 as an admittedly slow āmidā option in CQC anyway. He canāt abuse dumb mids like Liu or Jackie but thatās it. Quote Link to comment
Vhozite Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Hitboxes are a real mystery in this game sometimes. Iām doing these Kitana combos and some of these juggles are straight up whiffing right through the model. Then other times it seems like you get vacuumed into a hitbox.Ā Ā Iām also really close to finding a Kitana variation I like. Ground war and Up Fan are my go to for now, but Iām not sure what I want for a third slot. Iām using regular flutter but I feel like I can do better. Might try Twist or Nado. Ā Edit: Damn I just remembered she has no armor break without ass. Twist also does less damage than ass. Iāll probably use Nado or Dagger.Ā Ā Edit 2: Lol the princess pumping out almost 300 meterless midscreen from stand 1 with up fan. 292 is my top so far.Ā Ā @MattatsuIm getting tired and I need someone better than me to try and find a better combo. Ā 12 xx Lift, j2, dash cancel b14 xx Up Fan, f2222 (292) is my cap but it really feels like more is possible. I canāt figure out where to milk out 8 damage lol Ā Edit 3 or 4: So you can do f2 xx quick execution for...a lot (I forget the number lol) but thatās not what I want.Ā Edited December 28, 2020 by Vhozite Mattatsu 1 Quote Link to comment

Itās a decent projectile of course but she doesnāt really need that when regular toss is already pretty good.Ā With Kitana, I really abuse her B231 string. It works really well as a whiff punisher and after a shimmy on wakeup. It also has good range and normally allows me to get in. Ā On hit, I do B231 ~ lift, but on block I do B231D2 (overhead), B231~low fan, B231, B2 walk in throw, B2~low fan, B2 walk inĀ D1, etc.Ā All of these options really frustrate a lot of my opponentsĀ Iāve used it on. Theyāll get so annoyed, and will startĀ mashing after the B2,Ā or forget to block the 3 attack low,Ā Ā even onĀ people thatĀ blocked the B231D2 properly, earlier on. Ā Youāre right that the damage off low fan is piddly, but when I can break my opponentās patience with it, then it becomesĀ invaluable. Ā Mind you, this probably doesnāt work against high level players, but at leastĀ worksĀ well on low to mid. Ā Also, while the B231 can be jumped out of and is death on whiff, if you dial in the whole string, you can cancel into a special before the 1 attacks come out, so Iāll cancel into grounded wave if theyāre above/behind me to get away, or fans if itās whiffing and theyāre in front.
