Last week we learned about Kitana's 3 variations and what special moves each variation will have that is unique to a specific variation.

Royal Storm:
-Fan-Nado
-Square Boost (Square Wave)
-Long Range Fan Lift

Assassin:
-Assassin Strike (Run attack)
-Princess Parry
-Fan Sharpen

Mournful:
-Staff Grab
-Glaive Throws
-Jade's Shadow Kick

NOW what I am interested in are all her specials that are universal to all her variations. NRS went over them last week in the stream but they left out a very important one and I'm not sure if you guys noticed that.

Common/Shared Specials:
-Fan Toss (Groung and Airborne)
-Fan Lift
-Wake Up Fan
-Throat Slice
-Float Jump

*SQUARE WAVE should have also been shown as a special that is shared/common for all variations, and it wasn't. If you read the Royal Storm description it says, "Kitana is able to utilize her Square Wave while AIRBORNE to escape dangerous situations....". This implies that the Airborne Square Wave is limited to Royal Storm, but NOT the ground Square Wave.

In this video you can also see Kitana using her ground SQUARE WAVE against D'Vorah in her ASSASSIN Variation.

I had made up my mind that ROYAL STORM was the variation for me because it included the SQUARE WAVE special, which is essential for me when I kick ass with KITANA. However, now that I know that its a shared special, I will also master the ASSASSIN variation.

Based on the Stream, was anyone else misled into thinking that her Square Wave was only for her Royal Storm Variation?

Yea i don't think they did a very good job of explaining everything with kitana but what they did show was awesome it just feels like they didn't explain everything in a clear and concise way. Im still confused if she can throw fans in mournful variation cause i have heard both answers from people but idk which is real cause they never really said if the glaive replaces her fan throw or if she has them both????

She can throw fans in Mournful Variation. ALL the common/shared specials are universal in all the variations.

And yes I agree with you my friend, they didn't do a good job showing off her specials. We didn't even get to see her FATALITY. But I'm happy we at least got to see some of Kitana's gameplay.

::Royal Storm::
Square Boost: Down Back A
Fan-Nado: Down Back X
Bounce Back: Down Back B

::Normal Attacks During Royal Storm::
Rising Fan: Down Back Y
Throat Slice: Back Forward A
Fan Throw: Down Forward X

----

::Assassin Variation::
Assassin Strike: Down Forward A
Princess Parry: Down Forward B

::Normal Attacks During Assassin::
Rising Fan: Down Back Y
Throat Slice: Back Forward A
Fan Throw: Down Forward X
*Upraise: Down Back X

*There's an extra move added in the Normal Attacks called "Upraise".
What the fuck is that?!

*In the stream, the move-list shows two Variation moves. But they demonstrated three. The DMG boost not being listed??


--------

::Mournful Variation::
Glaive Throw: Down Forward X
Shadow Kick: Down Forward B
Staff Grab: Down Back A

::Normal Attacks During Assassin::
Rising Fan: Down Back Y
Throat Slice: Back Forward A
*Upraise: Down Back X

*Upraise attack again being listed.

-----------

Gathered from the stream, the move-list is fucked up and/or incomplete.

* I believe the Fan Lift is dubbed "Upraising", but it wasn't listed during the Royal Storm variation demo, but is for the rest of the Variation demos.
However, Fan Lift is Universal.

* If Square Wave is dubbed Square Boost, then it was only listed in the Royal Storm variation based on the stream move-list which already is proven to be not so trustful. The one video shows the Square Wave in both Royal Storm and Assassin.

* Said flying ass attack was demonstrated by the stream guys dubbed as a Variation move when they started talking about Royal Storm's Variations.

* If Square Boost is the idle air jump, which the name sounds perfect in my opinion, then stream guys are mistaken, because they said THAT was Universal.
But, at the same time, when demonstrating Universal moves, it seems like the idle air jump was pressed on accident because it caught them a bit off guard, forcing them to explain that.

And I doubt you can throw fans in in Mournful.
Her Glaive Throw replaces the Fan Throw, hell it's the same button input.
