@Akromaniac27 I think you and I are the only mileena players that agree with used on her tier placement lol
So I didn't miss anyone (still managed to lol...) I copy and pasted the links from the other threads, and I'm guessing that was where I went wrong with it.
I think its possible after 21u4 or sweep but its not easy. in piercing after b212+4 you can walk back and b12 on her wake up and ex flip will whiff but dive kick wont however the first hit is the one that makes contact so she doesn't get a combo.
i would currently still be off the opinion she loses to df liu/hollywood cassie/jax all variations, maybe summoner quan also.
hey now be fair, glue said S tier im not of the opinions she "bottom 5 garbage" like was the opinion of some, publicly and privately ive always said she was underrated and had the tools to compete but S tier i stretching it imo
I tend to condition them by the end of the first round. They HAVE to wakeup with EXpowerflip or EXnutpunch or else it gets stiffed with f12. With this, I either whiff a b1 to bait a wakeup, or I do the b1 option select which will stuff both of those options. If the player is very wakeup happy, I walk them to the corner, or let them walk me there to then swap sides. This way, no matter the wakeup, she's getting full combo punished for doing so.
f12b4 does more for mileena then just stuff wakeups. its a great way to build meter because its a 5 hitting string so it builds her almost half a bar on wake up. not to mention its a risk to stagger it because f1 on its own is safe but f12 is minus 10 and cassie punishes f12b4.
I forgot glue said she was s tier lol. yeah that's probably stretching it but I agree with a+.
who is doing this? I want names damn it.
Yup, all of this. That's why I say use f12b4 sparingly on Cassie mainly because if she isn't punishing it, good for us. If she is, then you can mix it in with a roll/exroll cancel after as well as the stagger, because you have to KNOW the stagger is coming or else you miss the window to punish it.
I do this ALL the time if they don't block the low after me using it three times already lol. I do it enough so that they finally block the low, thus letting me do b2~EXroll to seal a round/match.
well in the uk tier list posted i felt the other chars listed in A+ (jax shinnok reptile dvorah takeda kotal kano) are stronger than her (bar maybe reptile) but i suppose that wasnt a "in order" tier list so maybe shes at bottom of that group if shes in there, never really pay much mind to tier list anyway, i play who i want (baraka/mileena mk9, Scorp/ares inj) so its no sweat of my sack either way
Wait, B1~roll OS? Option selects have been gone since the last patch... And I'm testing it rigt now but it's not working at all.
yeah I don't pay too much attention to tier lists either but I'm just poking fun at how everyone lost there shit when she was a+ on the uk's tier list
Its weird to place her because by normal standards that WOULD be the case, but the roster has characters that can do what she does but faster, longer ranged and safe/plus into safe 50/50s. Its not saying she sucks at all, but I don't think it puts her THAT high up when she requires a thought process and game plan and can't just swing away, getting a combo on hit or a successful block string on block. IF any weaknesses or slightly unfavorable MUs in Piercing, Ethereal has what it takes to overcome it, and there really aren't that many of those.
well to be honest before i watched the video and just saw the graphic of her and jax in the same tier i was like....
this is something I would only really do in ethereal so I can confirm into the telekick safely with ex fade. I personally hate playing a high risk high reward style in fighting games.
No Gurl...some characters/move STILL have it while others were removed. Some even gained an option select reversal on block -____- the joys of NRS tweaking...the video below explains how it works:
Well it's a good thing you play Ethereal then, lol.
