d+1 is extremely good for a poke
I know that d1 and b4 are amazing. Is u2 really an anti-air, it's just weird that it moves you forward. I can see that restricting it's potential.
it's more or less to catch bad jump ins tbh
can she do a normal cancel into a fan for a big conversion as an anti-air?
yes and even her kick follow up but that's a little stricter
And then there's mileena... who cant hit anyone without meter
Assuming that you're talking about me, I play ninjutsu and have a secondary assasin, so any other character can go to hell in a hand basket, but it would be boring if tournaments were just kitanas and scorpions, so I want all variations to tournament viable. On the topic of noxious, I think reptile as a whole can use a few tweaks like allow his special overhead to juggle without meter... I don't know. I don't play him. I just want to seem him played.
why is that? her damage seems great. Are her normals bad? I know that she has some crazy overheads. What is her meter spent on? I know that she also has some slow normals. I think all characters should have at least one go to normal that's 5-7 frames for dealing with pressure.
Did you play mk9? That definitely did not encourage jumping... jump and eat minimum 30% or more
Injustice had bad anti-airs in vanilla, as does MKX in relation to some of the jumping attacks, so that's 2 games to 1.
@Doombawkz you noob.
But they buffed the d2s in injustice so in the final version they were much better so you could argue that it is 2-1 the other way (and they may still change move properties in mkx to improve anti airs in a future patch).
The only overhead she has without meter is a 32 frame start up that gets hit out startup by any normal in the game. Other than that, she has no mixups because everything she can do can be defended by crouch blocking. People that don't use mileena are all, "maaaan she's got crazy mixups!" Well, no... she has 4 with meter. Without meter, she has zero, plus she's super negative on everything besides like 2 strings. The only other thing she has that hits overhead is EX roll.
well thanks for answering the question...
dang. I never knew. Mileena players make it look like she's a constant threat. I didn't know she was so meter depnedant. It probably doesn't help that her fastest normal is an 8 frame uppercut. I hope they adjust her a little bit. I admit there seems to be a lot of reward to get off her overhead, but 32 is frames is a bit much. I think that overheads with combo potential should be around 20-25. Ones that can't combo of course should be faster.
Hm... I must've missed that because Lackey has the same or greater damage, still has full-screen options (he can convert off of btw), a better charge, better WUs, a vortex, doesn't rely on Ferra for half of the moves.
Doesn't visious have a vortex? I know Vis gets like 30% combos meterless, I've yet to see the same for lackey (not saying he doesn't have any). It wasn't a rhetorical question. I probably framed it inappropriately, but I had been watching some players who had made the switched to vicious and seemed to be doing better. I was wondering what lackey was lacking. What I should have done was go to the f/t forums and asked them how they felt about the variations.
Lackey gets about that much. Also vicious does not.
Do you mean low sai? I'm not sure Mileena has enough OH in her strings for that to be good.
Yep. Talking about meter dependency though, without meter, ex roll is a non factor obviously. People will use arguments like "you need to use her as a wiff punish /reaction character." Cool. So i may as well just hit random select. Who cant wiff punish or punish mistakes with correct reactions? If the best way to use her is by doing things that every single character can do, that means there's nothing about choosing her thats specifically good. Why not pick someone who has options on top of every single characters' intrinsic movement?
