Modern Kitana 3.0

BRAND-NEW update to Kitana which was well needed. Really BALANCED, COMBO FOCUSED, QULALITY character w/ AGGRESSIVE AI. There are so many COMBO choices, more fan attacks, 20 signature SPECIALS/MOVES, 4 SUPERS incl. COMBO BREAKER && new BRUTAL FATAL BLOW. FATALATIES are here and they are easier to remember! Character is compatible w/ any MUGEN 1.1 and IKEMEN. Hands down, this is THE BEST Kitana. This is the Wildshark & Dampir version updated extensively by Bruizerhands.  All FRAME DATA for signature moves are coded accurately as possible. AI has been reworked and Kitana is beast to beat!

[Last updated: 01/29/2023] (All new moves added to move-list)
**Patch Notes**        Now 95% done with fixing the inconsistent sprites on custom palettes. There are only 10 skins now. A new skin was added which resembles more of an Edenian race. There are only a few moves that have the sprite inconsistency, but I will be working toward a fix. Fatalities have been re-enabled (causes K.O. glitches in simul mode). Added Afterimage effects to various attacks. SLOWMO version is nice & subtle, give it a try! Added Edenian Twirl new combo & new animation (~B + HP, ~B + y, HP). These attacks add more mix-up options. All parries can follow up w/ a combo. Added parry for low attacks.  Added new animation for counterattack low which triggers after successful Princess Parry Low. Replaced old Hi parry attack animation that executes after successful Princess Parry High. Upgraded Assassin Air Strike w/ more hits! Added a few new sounds and removed unnecessary ones. Tweaked counter SLOWMO effects so it does not affect gameplay or slow down too much. Fixed instances when player gets stuck in air again. Sometimes the AI will still do this. Fixed Crouch HP chains not working. Corrected properties for throws & for various moves. Added high backspin fan attack (~B, HP) & low backspin fan attack (~DB, MP) and a few chains for them. Fix issue when player was able to do standing Fan Toss in air and get stuck. Added the ability to chain Fan Toss Air from Jump LK/MK. Fixed hit states that were keeping player in the air after being hit during certain moves. Added Global SLOWMO effects triggered when P1 counters from block stance (vice versa for P2) and while both players are attacking for a clash.  Counters are signaled by a bass sound if hit soon enough.  Normal version and SLOWMO version are included.  Princess Parry Low triggers a new attack animation when successful. Added new move Princess Parry Hi (counter) that will counterattack aggressive foes (~B, x+y). Fix many blood explod locations.  Fixed Fan Chops so it slides forward as it should. Stand MK Close now chains from Stand LK as it should. More AI fixes. Fixed unintended invulnerability on FATAL BLOW.  Edenian Twist from Backflip Escape can be done at a later frame which makes it easier. Fix issue when FWD HK would cross over when enemy lying down. Backflip Escape grants extra hit when done from Foward HK. Fixed Pretty Kick props so all hits connect. Fix properties for all Assassination Strike throws so they are actually throws and animation changes if move misses. Fixed is with Square Wave having too much velocity an opponent has a better chance at defending it. Added Backwards Assassin Strike Throw && Assassin Air Strike (~F + y+b in air). Fix all issues w/ Throw 2 properties again and added zoom effects. Tweaked AI. Fixed many gameplay bugs. Fixed properties for throw 2 again. Gave Edenian Twist damage buff and also move is easier to do from Backflip Escape on hit. Fixed properties for Backflip Escape so that the distance is more consistent. Added corner-ground-push to appropriate moves. Fixed early timing chains on many attacks. Slowed down Foward MP. Jump HP now crosses over. New animation for running punch. Fixed issue when able to do Fatal Blow from air. Fixed issues with Assassin Strike grab. Created new P2state for Rising Fan so it does not WHIFF anymore. Fix projectile explods out of place. Fixed issue when forward throw can be cancelled. Added Brand NEW Forward Throw (done w/ ~F, y+b while close). Fixed issue when forward attacks took priority over throws. Fixed & upgraded all screen shake effects because converting to 1.1 caused a few bugs. Fixed various issues w/ unintended chains. Try it out! Fixed Block sound being too loud. Fixed issue Backflip Escape distance too far. Upgraded block animations w/ fans. Added new hit & guard sounds to all fan attacks. Fixed blood effects for various attacks. Fixed timing for Fan Toss after Rising Fan Hit 2. Added really nice Movelist for IKEMEN & JPG files as well located in "Movelist" folder.  Fixed explod location for several attacks. Fixed an issue where Fan Toss Air would combo instead of Fan Toss. Slightly extended range for Square Wave. Fixed tornado animation for FATAL BLOW. Fixed issue when FATAL BLOW would phase through enemies. Fixed issue when Square Wave would phase through enemies. Added detailed MOVELIST for IKEMEN/or open "movelist.dat" w/ text editor for Mugen players. Converted/Updated everything to 1.1. Fixed issue when character crashes game. Fixed timing on Follow the Leader so it ends combo properly and slightly buffed damage. Fixed Backflip Escape from FATAL BLOW timing. Fixed Standing LK not executing when enemy airborne.

BUGS: Sprite pallets swap on some moves, when you choose non-default skin. The default skin works fine. Help is welcomed

Kitana is a highly trained fighter who wields steel fans. She is a master in the art of fighting and develops these skills throughout her life. While Kitana is the daughter of the rulers of Edenia, King Jerrod, and queen Sindel, she is also a lover of truth and eventually learns the truth. She was too young when Shao Kahn took over her homeworld and apparently did not remember it. She grew up as a loyal hitman for the one who destroyed her parents.

Welcome to mmv

wow, you showed some serious love for her, congrats on the release

if you give me a sprite (less width as possible plz), i will put her in the news panel on the forum index.

btw, welcome to MMV, hope to see more of you...especially if you might show marvel/dc chars the same kind of love as MK (we encourage all in mugen, but the general community tends to focus more on comic creations in general)

MK in Capcom sprites to add to my MVC roster is always welcome in my book

Thanks for the welcome! My only concern is I want to change my username. Is that possible here? I would love to provide a sprite. How would I submit that to you? Im confused on that request actually. Can you explain? Actually I think I understand. I would need to provide a link correct? I cannot do that yet

I just adjusted your membergroup to recognize your release.

Regardinging your name change request, we like to publicly log all name changes after public requests of such at:

https://mugenmultiverse.forumotion.com/t268-want-your-name-changed

Finally about before, I was just wondering if you had interest in coding other things, specifically marvel/dc

Interesting release, I will test ASAP. Thanks!!!
