	So a couple of weeks ago I decided to add Nitara to my arsenal of characters for Mortal Kombat Armageddon Online. (PS2) I've taken a shine to her, my success rate is probably in the area of 60% or so but nothing that I'd bring up from my Bush Leagues Triple A account up to my Majors account with. So I can't help but to think that she can do a little bit more, damage wise in her combos. In the practice mode you're allowed to execute 3,4 and then 2, 3, L1 for a quick 41% but in the actual, normal gameplay modes, this is just a no go. So I'm wondering if there are any skilled Nitara players out there who can give me some pointers. I'd love to hear them.

	Her b + attack 1 pop-up is one of those where less is more. In most cases, you get the same amount of damage from a combo starting with just that pop-up as a combo starting with 1,1, b + 1. In fact, you will sometimes get less damage by adding the two hits on before it, or by adding a second pop-up. -Her best Leopard ground combo is: b + 1, 1124 = 20% If you add a second pop-up or the two hits before the first pop-up, you will do much LESS damage. So don't. -Her style branch combo does 23% but you can enhance it with ONE b + 1 pop up: b + 1, 23cs = 26% -Air combos: b + 1, air 1134 = 20% You can do the two hits before the pop-up here and the damage will be the same. Any other combination will reduce your damage. Little Nitara, always end you air combos with attack 4, the throw. It adds 4 damage as opposed to 1. ; ) A no-bounce air combo will do around 30% but those rarely work vs higher skilled so I don't keep track of them. -Leopard has great lows. Use them whenever you can for quick damage. -Her double palm attack (u + 1) is a mid attack. -Nitara has two uppercuts. The upward jackhammer will flip the enemy over her head. Good for exchanging places if you have your back to a death trap. Her batters upper does 13% damage, thats one of the best and it does more than some of her combos, lol. Ok.. digest Leopard. I will add more about her other skills in another post. -----signature----- Male and female use this account. We are not Ermac.

	i have to say thnx to tura for making me notice something true:the b+1 combos is more effective with no 1,1 before. -----signature----- Soul Calibur proud Ivy and Cervantes player.

	You're welcome. : ) For Kama, she has another b + 1 pop-up and it functions a lot like her Leopard one. If you use it twice to start the combo it will decrease your damage. In fact, just using it ONCE will sometimes decrease your damage. -Combo 1,1,1 = 17% -Combo 3,4 = 20% -Combo 1,1,4 = 21% If you pop-up first with those, you will do less damage. -Combo 1,1, f + 4 = 26% Popping up first with the above combo yields that same amount of damage. -Combo 3,4 (20%) is not a pop-up but can be used as one if you are near the wall - where the opponent can't fly too far away. You can sometimes hit them again before they land. Add the f + 4 to it and you'll do 33%. Occasionally you can catch them with it even when not by a wall. I don't know how but its happened. You can make other combos from this 3,4 at the wall but they are very difficult and were probably not intended by the developers. You can play around with it if you want and see what you can do. Don't let your own character get too close to the wall or too close to your opponent or you will miss or hit them on the ground. -Kama has lots of mid attacks. Attack 4 is a mid attack. Her b + 1 pop-up is also a mid attack. The last two hits of combo 1,1,1 are mid attacks. Combo 2,2 are mid attacks but the first one will miss a crouching character unless you are real close. d + 1 and b + 3 are mid attacks but you need to be right on top of the person to hit them. -Kama air combat, Nitara has Powerhouse, which is good. b + 1, air 1134 = 21% b + 1, air 332,1134 = 27% That is a non-bounce and is your most reliable air combo. Using two pop-ups will reduce the damage. The 3,4 combo can be used again here, but you cannot jump while an opponent is in the air from that attack. However, if your opponent is near the wall, you can can sometimes hit them with your b + 1 pop-up before they hit the ground, though its very difficult to do. You will then have a very brief moment where you can go into the air and air combat them. -(near wall) 3,4, b + 1, air 332, 1134 = 38% -----signature----- Male and female use this account.

	Nitara's special moves are decent. -The unicorn kick does 16% damage, which is really good. Its best to use as a surprise attack, or against a recovering opponent. Its not as unsafe as it first seems, cuz if you miss, you are atleast immune from high attacks. -The air blood spit is good, just like Tanya's fireball. It will work close, but not past mid range. But then you have the ground blood spit which is Nitara's only long range attack. Use it whenever you are at a distance, since all of Nitara's other attacks are close range. Throw her escape move in whenever you feel the need to spit. -Nitara's throw is one of the best. 17% damage and you get health back. Not a lot, and the more you do it, the less you get back, but still! Obviously use this whenever you can. I forgot something in Leopard. The big kick for attack 4 is also a mid attack. I love that kick. I used to think Nitara really sucked. But someone (here in fact) told me otherwise so I decided to go back and practice with her and found that she wasnt garbage afterall. I like using her. She has the tools to be one of the better characters, but her fighting style does so little damage that she remains one of the more difficult characters to win with. You should use Kama as much as possible but of course it will cause you to take more damage. -----signature----- Male and female use this account. We are not Ermac.

	Thank you both for the help! It was greatly appreciated! I'm going to stick it out with her for the time being, she has some nice, safe low pokes and some quick combos. Again, thanks! -----signature----- http://www.myspace.com/spectresummers Yes, people other then gaming nerds enjoy Mortal Kombat. Go figure. Read a book. Walk your dog. Go outside.
