The best thing about that is that Mileena has no special powers except being super ugly and low profiling low moves. It was her sais that gave her power to teleport.
Probably to teleport to specific spots, but she can telekick without em. (See Ravenous)

I'm not a fan (HAHAHAHA PUNS!!!), as with the Mournful variation, it's like NRS just can't come up with enough original and unique moves for her to fill out a new variation/moveset. Also, whether you think it is justified or not, it does affect a lot of fans negatively, more so the fans of those whose moves were given to Kitana, though I have seen Kitana fans be dissatisfied about it as well.

Though I don't think it is inherently bad, it is just disappointing for several reasons. Borrowing moves isn't anything new in the MK franchise though, but I would personally prefer if they at least tried to get away from that and make the characters as unique from one another as possible. When each character has so many moves each, I can understand it is kinda hard to do though.

Even if they hated each other, it makes sense that she has the sai. I feel like it's going to be the new meta for Kitana in every game. Every ninja who sits out, she'll have one of their moves.

Spoiler: She has the spear in MK12 :DOGE

I think this game would be the best one to use Khameleon with the kustom variations and give her moves from Mileena, Sindel, Tanya and the 3D female characters we might not see anytime soon.

I'm thinking this is all just klassic trolling from Boon and later we will discover Mileena will be DLC with a whole set of new movements :D

P.S. I don't really think so, RIP Mileena.

Apparenlty, the correct answer was to sweep Mileena under the rug entirely. Referencing her, her weapons, or even her signature color is a troll worse than death.

What's the point of a random Krypt?
I think it's an awful practice. It's pretty much NRS saying their characters are interchangeable. "X character is not there, but don't worry, we gave some of it's moves to Y, it's the same thing."

TYM's #1 L taker.
I don't think it's necessarily bad, but I do think its in bad taste. People wouldn't be happy with Kung Lao getting bicycle kick and dragon fireballs if Liu Kang was sitting out a game, kind of devalue's the other character.

She doesn't actually have any mileena moves though, just one move that is kind of like one of Mileenas.
