Mortal Kombat veteran, Konqrr has presented us with some Kitana tech that is currently used for Mileena only, although it may work with others characters. What this tech does is gives Kitana a great way to punish Mileena's EX Dive Kick. It's incredibly simple and genius at the same time... as long as you time it right when Mileena comes out of the air. According to this tech, originally brought to light by DanCock, Konqrr is pointing out that you must block the first kick and then immediately back-dash second kick... then punish! See the video. For more information on this tech, go to Konqrr's thread here!

What could the possibilities be with other characters?

Please note that as far as I know, Mileena can block when she lands. However, a throw attempt is guaranteed because she cannot duck.

STORMS, link the thread so they can get an explanation and discuss.

This one's for you
Can this be done on reaction? I know Cyrax's AAt can interrupt the second hit similar to this but it takes strict timing. Also, if you try to dash out of the second hit but she only used the regular telekick, will you still have time to punish?
Cool find either way, will be messing with this later

This seems like it would be pretty hard to do on reaction
Excellent find though.
I have not had the opportunity to test this in a real match. It is difficult to do when you expect it to come out finally in training mode, so I am positive that it would be harder in a real match.

Seeing that it is a normal telekick and not ex is not hard when you train yourself against it. It used to be hard to tell if KL was doing a normal tp or an ex one back when the game came out, but now it's not. Mileena's is the same.

The tech is here, I say let's use it!

The dash is miniscule. You can't do it without dashing, but it is such a small distance that you can't even see the dash lol
