a super easy beginner combo that also does great damage is to j2 after the fan lift and then do the forward 2222 move as they're falling. Does more damage than the ones you mentioned for a non crushing blow combo and it's super easy to learn.
One of my issues is after Fan Lift, the 2nd jump attack, I can't seem to get it fast enough to continue my combo. By the time I'm trying to jump again my opponent already fell to the ground..
OMG Thank you so so so much❤️🖤 I’ve been trying to find someone explain her to me cause In MKX I used her a lot but in this one I can’t play her that well but now I’m golden 😊 you just got a new subscriber❤️
I've found back 2 to not be the best combo starter. I know a lot of people start with back+2, but I've found it ONLY good if you maintain that distance the entire time in a fight. Which usually doesn't happen. I've found back + 1,2, 1,2, or just 2,1 to be the best starters for her. They're quick and easy to combo into. I also really like using 3,2 or back + 1, 3 as starters. All can easily combo into fan-nado or some other move. I'll mainly use back +2, 3, 1 if I'm mid combo. Plus it's her longest combo chain I believe so it does some nice damage if you can actually land it as an ender. Back + 2, 3, 1 in after fan-nado jump attack sets up for some really nice damage in a corner. End it with quick execution and you've got a great krushing blow combo that easily clears 40% if not a bit more.
I see! She has a lot of combo starters that generally lead to the same thing! I use B2 a lot because it has a lot of enders, can be cancelled for a grab or a second B2 or anything else really!
"You can use her ass to attack" "If you wanna kb you can do it.. but I just didn't want to do it, cuz I'm kool" Haha i like your dry humor. B231 is a beast in the corner, I didn't know so my strings could start with it so thanks.
A small tip. Highlight the strings you are talking about by pressing W in the move list - makes it much easier for people who are new to the character to follow along.
@@KnotsWithFoxy Nice, she's also my main but I really got punished a lot in MK11. Now I think I've got a better idea how to adjust... :) I'll definetely subscribe to your chanel.
Great guide! Very helpful! I do have a question though. What do you do to get out of an opponent's pressure? I find that so often a character like Erron Black will get me in the corner, and I won't know how to get out.
Do a get away roll if you are getting up!:) towards and L2 at the right time and you will roll out of the corner and be set to punish! Practice its timing and you require 1 defense bar to do so! Or do a wakeup attack, U2 or U3 :)
@@mortalkomment7954 essentially more damage output in combos, screen carries etc. You could move and attack more quickly on fan hit making her zoning more dangerous!
@@mortalkomment7954 meaning, if you hit an airborne opponent with the fan, you were easily able to continue the combo. Now, if you're in the corner, with great luck, you can perform a further attack after a connected fan toss. I usually don't succeed, and the fan toss is basically only a finisher.
U make it look so easy with all these combos.. So i went to try doing this for a long time, i just cant remrmber the buttons all the time and my hands cant get used to the buttons ;(
It comes down to muscle memory. The more you do it the easier it'll get and eventually you'll just remember how to do it. Like walking, riding a bike, or some other activity you enjoy doing.
Constructive criticism: Maybe record the gameplay and then your voice over, as the fan of you pc was very loud (mine sounds like a jet taking flight so I'm used to it) This goes with what i just said, recording your voice afterwards will help so you can cut out sniffs and coughs and so on.
Cheers man appreciated! First time really doing anything like that, PS4 user also so yes my fan is taking off. Not to sure how to do a voice over since theirs very little to work with on PS4.
@@numi_numinous I am glad it did! Apolgoies as I am tryna find a way to add voice after the video and to fix that annoying PS4 fan! Thanks! and born and raised Irish man! xD
Wake up options for Kitana, the ones I use are U2 and safety roll towards, it is kinda hard to explain that pal :/ sorry I couldn't explain much about that :)
It could be the timing maybe? Maybe try input the fan lift directly after the B231 and then do it delayed and see which works most effectively? Standard fan lift yes?
If you're in putting the back2 31 very fast then don't wait too long to do the fan lift. But if you're doing it at a normal speed input and everything slightly before the hitting animation finishes. I would like to add back one for has a huge cancel window.
@@KnotsWithFoxy buffs for Kitana? As a Shao Kahn main, I can't press a button without getting punished, she has an answer to anything and it's a pain to even get near her
@@japonesaomarromde100kilao8 are you mad? She was one of the most predictable movesets, her damage output is mediocre, not a single enchanced move extends her combo, she has no 50/50 combo potential true or otherwise. Her zoning is mediocre, this is all going off her ranked variations. She can't handle pressure too well, are you mad?
@@KnotsWithFoxy her combos are extended enough, I can go to sleep while she is floating and kicking my character, takes forever. Also it's so hard to get near her that would be stupid to give her better tools to avoid pressure.

Yes that is better! I was just tryna show that it can be done from different levels :) thanks!
the hero we need but dont deserve, I'll be replaying this vid for a while! huge props
Thanks very much man! Glad it helps! Thanks again for the kind words 😊
Best guide out on RUclips much appreciated!!
Thanks very much that means a lot! I aim to please :)
Thank you very much, I saved this video and watched it several times whenever I'm practicing
my go to combo is B2-3-1, DB2, Jump 2, another Jump 2, 1-2, DF2. does 337 with the krushing blow
I tend to switch the 1,2 for the B14 and if i dont do crushing blow I meter burn the ass attack with ground war! Nice :)
KnotsWithFoxy i need to practice switching DF4 with the ass to save my crushing blow xD. Great guide btw!
Yes the all powerful ass can be tricky to input xD Thanks very much!😄
Doesn't ending with 3, 2, scale better tho?
@@matthewstroble2602 it depends if its possible to land in the situation 😄
For someone who mainly played ninja storm, this is very helpful lol .

Love how in depth you go. One of the best guides yet! As a Kitana main this is very informative! :]

You are welcome pal glad I could help! 😊
This guide is good I can’t get the advanced combo 😫 but the tips you gave with kitana is so helpful
Dont worry you will get them! Just plenty of practice, take it step by step and most importantly pay attention to the timing 😊 thank you btw!😄

A hell of a lot too 😂😂

This is a great tutorial. Where can I see the button input on these combos. I am a straight noob in mk11. Thank you.
I struggle so much to do the forward dash after J2 to continue the combo
Me too. I was doing it too soon and rushing my combos but I waited a couple frames and practiced timing and now it’s easy!
Subscribed!! Keep up the good work man.
Thanks very much for the sub pal it is appreciated!😄

Or if you suck at getaway rolls you can do down 1 into down 4 and you'll usually get space do either jump kick grab or combo
Will they eventually rebalance her and giver her the fan combos back? She's pretty playable right now, but doesn't feel like a proper Kitana.
I hope 😣
I didn't play her day one, may I ask what exactly her fan combos we're like
@@mortalkomment7954 essentially more damage output in combos, screen carries etc. You could move and attack more quickly on fan hit making her zoning more dangerous!

I imagine you look like Finn Balor
Ayee I see u bro
😅
What the best answer and strategy for people who crouch block against her a lot, seeing as she has no simple overhead attacks?
That’s where kitana falls. Try using her short hops, B231D2 (it can krushing blow), and abuse her throws

GREAT VIDEO
You must have been reading my search history....
Of course! xD
I would a character breakdown of Frost
I know literally nothing about her pal xD
KnotsWithFoxy she's a good character but I've been getting my arse kicked by good players lol I'll just keep practicing then lol
@@glens1800 yeah... a good player can easily beat her sadly because of how easy it is to block her strings. Practice!😯😄
Wow
:D
Nice!
Thanks very much! 😊

Anytime! :)
What about wake up options? Or what should I do if I am under pressure (as Kitana)?
Wake up options for Kitana, the ones I use are U2 and safety roll towards, it is kinda hard to explain that pal :/ sorry I couldn't explain much about that :)

Cheers I guess :L
Gracias por la guía 💙

Which abilties did you put in your custom variation?
The Air Flutter, Low fan and Ground War :)
@@KnotsWithFoxy Thanks a lot good sir
I’m not sure what i be doing wrong when i play only, im usually not able to follow up with the fan lift after the B321. Any help?
It could be the timing maybe? Maybe try input the fan lift directly after the B231 and then do it delayed and see which works most effectively? Standard fan lift yes?

Make sure you’re using fan lift and not fan nado
KnotsWithFoxy yes I’m using the regular one
Your showing the wrong jump in its jump 2 twice not jump 1 more damage.
Theirs different timings and consistency, I find J1 much better in most situations
So pissed. They nerfed tfk outta Kitana and Kitana has been my main since mk2. Shes now unplayable (I still have a few combos with her tho)
Always been my main too! She is far from unplayable pal, she just needs minor buffs I believe!
