Mileena. Alien. Takeda.
Take a combined index of recent offline and online results and can there be any question? The scope of this analysis is top 3 only, not top 5 and not a comprehensive tier list. All three variations considered as part of the complete character. Only Mileena makes top three on strength of single variation. Alien qualifies based on the strength of two (acidic, tarkatan), as does Takeda (SR, ronin).
Tier lists in general are the source of inifinite shitstorms. It would probably even be a shitstorm to determine numbers four and five. Top 3, however, can be a consensus view based on objective review of cumulative online and offline results. What evidence is there to contradict the conclusion that those three characters are at the top of the food chain?
