At first I was like
But now, I don't really mind. I'm glad it's just one variation. Besides, wasn't too keen on Jade's MK9 gameplay and Kitana's Royal Storm is calling my name.

But it is still a presumption on your part that Jade's shadow kick is as essential as her left index finger to her person.
When clearly, the multiple iterations of shadow kick-like abilities attests to the higher probability that channeling one's "chi" or "fa jing" or whatever to increase the velocity and power of a strike is a common enough ability in the MK-universe. The aesthetics of that high-velocity strike appear to be character-specific, but I think you may be confusing aesthetics for ironclad proof that your opinion is correct.
I don't know if there will be a story explanation for Kitana using this kick. My principle argument in this post is to observe that you may mistake a personal conceit you have about the universe (headcanon) for a canonical law. Your headcanon needs a little more support in order for me to agree with your opinion.
Are you being ironic when you accuse a fictional character for stealing moves when clearly those responsible are the game designers? Or do you like to post in-character? Just curious. :)

True what you said, but what I was trying to say is Jade's Shadow kick is like Liu Kang's Fireball in the sense that it's something that's character related.
For example I'm tall, I can't teach you to be tall it's something related to me.
that's what I was trying to say.

I can't shoot a basketball as good as Micheal Jordan
someone trained (taught) jade to do that shadow kick, I doubt jade shadow kicked out of her mother's womb.
Why could jade not train kitana to shadow kick?
Point is: You can't teach an ability...

But people on here will continue to defend and make excuses forgiving this behavior. Little miss princess just gets what she wants it seems.
I'm annoyed at her leaping stab as well. That was a mileena thing.

KITANA IS HERE!
And she surprising enough is the only one who disagrees with me that's willing to have a reasonable argument.
It's funny because out of all the people who disagreed with me you are the only one who is very reasonable and didn't just strike with hate head on.
I agree with you which is why I said that I think, again I'll repeat that THINK.
It's a part of Jade's character and she is one of the few that has the Shadow moves. but it's very possible that I am wrong.
I never said it's cannon I even asked if it's related to her staff and if that's why she is able to do it but people said that it's not related to the staff and that makes sense.
I also agree that we will have to wait and see in the story what happens and what is their explanation but yet again.
Keep in mind these are the same people who explained the dead characters coming back with the equivalent of They are back, accept it!.
And when you ask why not all of them they will just say, Because we wanted it, accept it!.
Let's hope they explain it in MKX's story mode.

@sharefrock: Aw, thanks.
I hope its left unexplained - as you say, the potential is high for a nonsensical or lazy explanation that doesn't suit our tastes.
I just remember in the MK:DA Konquest mode, a lot of characters got their special abilities explained as originating in some sort of warrior's kinetic energy. The name of this energy seemed specific to the character's country of origin and/or the origin of their fighting style. In which case, it seems canon (especially with the "Enhanced" meter introduced in MK9) that all MK fighters possess some ability, albeit in varying degrees, to power up their strikes.
I'm personally glad Kitana does her own version of the shadow kick, but I think I would look askance at a decision to give her Jade's intangibility--to me, that's character specific to Jade. But in the same breath, I'd have to acknowledge that I have no discernible proof to say that's character specific to Jade, when both Jade and Kitana can use a teleport.
The most satisfying headcanon I can come up with: Jade, Kitana, and Mileena all had the same training growing up together in Outworld, and could theoretically deploy versions of the other's movesets with personal touches added here and there. But I would be happier to leave this open to fan interpretation than be given an explanation canonically that I dislike!

It's possible because supposedly in the original timeline Mileena grew up with Kitana, Both Mileena and Kitana were experts at using Sais and Fans.
So logically Kitana could use sais as good as Mileena and could use fans as good as Kitana.
Maybe not as good but you get my point.
So your explanation would actually fit especially because Jade and Kitana are best friends from childhood so it would be reasonable even in this alt timeline that they learned some of each other's moves.
But here is where my problem is, If like you said Jade's Shadow Kick is supposed to be something related to her character rather than her weapon of choice than it would be a bit hard to explain it.
Your explanation would be ideal for them but too be they don't have good writers lol.
