No Good Nelson
Noob
So i finally found a local tournament that is going to have MK and from all my matches with other people Mileena seems to be my strongest character. Anything on Mileena i should practice getting down?
i love how she was all over the place after evo 2011 now mileenas are few in numbers.Use someone else.
Next question.
That's b/c everyone finally figured her out (besides me... I still can't beat her to save my life lol) and learned that she's pretty average across the board be it zoning or rushdown. She was all over after EVO 2k11 b/c of REO.i love how she was all over the place after evo 2011 now mileenas are few in numbers.

Blake, you're too safe! LolI don't main Mileena, but I've played quite a bit with her in this game and I can give you some pointers to keep in mind before going into your tourney.
Mileena's a little like Raiden in which she relies on her opponent to react and open themselves up. Be sure you have your instant-air sais and anti-air Ball Roll mastered, you don't want to drop any punish once you get it. The damage in her combos isn't really impressive, so take whatever damage you can and then back off.
If you go in for a jump-in blockstring, do NOT try an u4 or b3. Even off a blocked jump-in, they are not guaranteed and can be stopped by armored moves or even a fast enough jab (take Nightwolf's standing 1, for example; I've juggled an offline Mileena each time she tried to jump-in and do her u4 overhead). You're better off using variations of her 2 3 4 string or going for the throw.
Get the life-lead, then play defensive. If you absolutely have to footsie your way in, d4 is your best friend. Do NOT throw out random Ball Rolls or Teleport Kicks whether you enhance them or not, you'll eat a full combo if they get blocked.
Limit your use of her Wake-Ups. They aren't all that reliant unless they try to rush you when you're knocked down.
Most importantly...do not get cornered. She dies a painful death there, especially against characters like Sub-Zero who have a great corner game. I don't even know if her corner game is that good, because I haven't been able to contain many players there using Mileena.
For counter-poking, use d3. Her d1 isn't too good for that, in my opinion.
Anything else you want to know about, ask and I will answer.
Do none of you know anything about a sense of caution...?Blake, you're too safe! Lol
Sometimes you gotta go for stuff like a random enhanced ball roll. Look at pigs mileena. It can work.
Granted you want to be safe but sometimes ya gotta go nuts!
Well, if you want to walk right across a minefield where you'll get blown up for using unsafe moves and be forced to piss away your breakers every time, be my guest. A safe Mileena is better than an unsafe Mileena. Look for openings, don't hope for the best.Nope I go all out and take risks. Different styles and such, I just think sometimes ya gotta take some risks.
And if they give you no openings? You gotta create them.Well, if you want to walk right across a minefield where you'll get blown up for using unsafe moves and be forced to piss away your breakers every time, be my guest.

That's impossible. A fight can never go without mistakes from either player, life lead or not.And if they give you no openings? You gotta create them.
Then it's also impossible for them to punish every risk you take. That one risk they don't could be what wins you the match!That's impossible. A fight can never go without mistakes from either player, life lead or not.
...and I think we'd best cease our arguing before the thread gets derailed.
not sure if srs...You need to play Mileena risky, she's a really unsafe character.
Then I can safely like your post. hahaI'm dead serious.
