Square Wave Punch: Kitana jumps into the air and attacks incoming foes with a flying punch.This will also increase the damage of the second fan by 1%. You can further delay the second fan by charging. Kitana throws one fan, and then on delay throws the second fan. The enhanced version is called Charged Fan.( MKII, UMK3, MKT, MKG, MK:DA, MK:U, MK:SM, MK:A, MKvsDCU, MK 2011, MKX) In MK 2011, Kitana throws both of her fans towards her opponent and it is called Fan Toss. This has been altered in Armageddon, as she can use multiple fan tosses in a single round, and the thrown fan only cuts the enemy and falls away, as her original fan projectile from Mortal Kombat II did. Whether it connected or missed, Kitana was only able to throw her fans once per round. If the thrown fan connects, it would impale the enemy if it missed or was blocked, it was gone entirely. In Deadly Alliance, Kitana also has the option to throw her steel fan, but there's a catch. Because the move could be executed both on the ground and in mid-air, it was a great way to finish off a combo, making her a deadly character in Mortal Kombat II. Fan Throw: Kitana throws one of her fans to her opponent.She is also a very strong leader she succeeded in recruiting Sindel back to her side and convince her of Shao Kahn's evil during the events of Mortal Kombat 3, and has done the same to Goro in Mortal Kombat Gold. Throughout the series, she has been shown to be more powerful than her evil twin Mileena, and has defeated her several times.
In Armageddon, she can also teleport and launch herself forward with a series of kicks to the opponent. This made her one of the most powerful characters in Mortal Kombat II, and was subsequently toned down in later games. She can also throw her fans while airborne and execute a midair punch to counter other airborne foes. She can use her fans as both a projectile and a melee weapon, as well as a means to levitate the opponent for a juggling combo. Kitana relies mostly on her Steel Fans in battle, although she is more than adequate in unarmed hand-to-hand combat. Her alternate outfit is a blue-and-silver halter top with matching bikini briefs, as well as a loincloth at the back, knee-high boots, and detached sleeves.Ĭombat characteristics Edit Powers and abilities Edit Kitana also has a coronet, thigh-high boots, silver eardrops, and matching arm gauntlets along with a tiara on her head. She also wears a matching thong of a similar design with a long flowing loincloth at the front, with embroidered designs on the center panel similar to the subtle designs on her mask and bustier. In MK 2011, she wears a short, cerulean-colored, cropped halter top, which stops and splits above her naval and has silver trimmings and has an opening in the middle, laced together with crossed strings in a way reminiscent of UMK3. Also, her hair is now very long, held in place by 3 sections of a ponytail. She also wears a brown belt, gold ear drops, and lavender, high-heeled thigh-high boots. In Deadly Alliance, Unchained, Armageddon, and DC Universe, Kitana wore a blue-and-black leotard with thigh-high high-heeled blue-and-black boots as well as a more regal costume featuring a lavender leotard with a very deep V-neck, exposing her cleavage even more. For her first 3D and unmasked appearance in Gold, her face was modeled after Talisa Soto, and she is clad in a modified leotard, with a near-closed chest opening, a gold brooch, and blue ear drops. In UMK3, Kitana now wears a leotard with added details, the only noticeable differences being the laced chest opening, armlets, ear studs, and a more liberal use of black, while the headband was dropped and her hair was tied in a tight bun. In MKII, as with Mileena and Jade, Kitana wore a simple blue leotard, along with matching knee-high boots, long gloves, and a headband. Kitana's overall appearance throughout the series has been changed profusely. She looks identical to Mileena when both of their masks are on, but when it is off, Mileena's flawed visage is exposed, as opposed to Kitana's beautiful face.
She is even sometimes shown wearing eye makeup. Though she was loyal to Shao Kahn for most of her life, she aligned herself with the side of good upon learning the truth about her past and her true father.Įven though Kitana is over 10,000 years old, she looks as if she is in her early twenties. She shared a subtle love interest with Mortal Kombatchampion Liu Kang, even after he was murdered by the Deadly Alliance.
She also led an army into Outworld to combat any chance of Shao Kahn rising to power again. Throughout the years, she rose to great importance first as the loyal stepdaughter of Shao Kahn, then as his enemy, tearing herself away from his grasp and freeing her home realm of Edenia. Princess Kitana is 10,000 years old, but is considered young in her realm of Edenia and has the appearance of a young woman.
