- Weak Ground Combo Damage: Kitana's mid auto combo only does 23%.
- Weak Anti Airs: Kitana lacks powerful anti airs. She relies on spacing and movement to counter jumping attacks.
- No LK, HK, Sweep Punish: Kitana does not have a special move that punishes LK, HK or Sweep on block. Kitana's opponents will make use of these attacks to counter her kara jabs and instant air fan.
