Kitana Stands Tall at 5‘9" in Mortal Kombat 11
As an Edenian princess who has remained one of Mortal Kombat‘s most iconic female ninjas for over 25 years, Kitana upholds her regal bearing at an impressive 5‘9" (175 cm) tall in her latest appearance in MK11.
Examining Key Details on Kitana‘s Height
According to her official heights and weights published in the Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance Strategy Guide, Kitana is canonly listed as:
- 5‘9" (175 cm) tall
- Weighing 128 lbs (58 kg)
This vital stat info remains consistent across her depictions and playability evolution throughout the Mortal Kombat series
Kitana‘s height also notably matches or exceeds most other prominent female MK kombatants:
Character Official Height Kitana 5‘9‘‘ Sonya Blade 5‘9‘‘ Mileena 5‘9‘‘ Jade 5‘9‘‘ Sindel 5‘10‘‘ Sheeva Over 7‘ As seen above, Kitana stands eye-to-eye with fan-favorite heroines like Sonya & Jade while still respectable against the towering Sheeva
So from all official accounts, Princess Kitana remains consistent at 5‘9" for her Mortal Kombat 11 debut – expected given her history and refined character design.
Next we‘ll analyze if her height bears any gameplay impact…
How Kitana‘s Height Factors into Her Fighting Style
- As an assassin-turned-heroine, Kitana depends more on agility and finesse over raw strength
- Her slim but toned 5‘9" frame complements her dual steel fan weapons and intricate combos
- Allows more flexible mobility – perfect for her Soaring Sai combos and Square Wave flight ability
- Enables hard-hitting jump kicks, aerial punches, and anti-air attacks
- Still has enough size to go blow-for-blow with the likes of Shao Kahn
- Towers favorably against most opponents as an offensively-minded fighter
So while not the absolute strongest or most imposing kombatant, Kitana‘s moderate height plays directly into her quick, combo-heavy playstyle – which MK11‘s new custom variations double down on!
My Take: Kitana‘s Graceful Deadliness Deserves Recognition
As someone who has mained Kitana since the early MK days, I‘m thrilled NetherRealm has preserved her elegant yet savage fighting style into MK11. And her consistent 5‘9" height does her swift lethality justice.
I particularly admire how Kitana mixes graceful finesse with ruthless efficiency – she may dazzle you with her beauty before slicing you ear-to-ear with her steel fans!
While some allude to her as more princess than fighter, her moveset and damage potential prove she remains one of the deadliest kunoichi in the realms. That she contends with the likes of cross-dimensional threats like Kronika speaks to this Edenian royalty‘s true skill.
So in closing, her highness Kitana keeps her head held high at 5‘9" in Mortal Kombat 11 – but more importantly, she‘s as lethal and viable as ever before. That‘s royalty I‘ll proudly bow down to!
