Mileena and Sonya both have really good variations that nobody complains about. Unless they both see heavy universal nerfs, Ethereal and Specials Forces will still be really good.

Alien will most likely see universal nerfs to his jump 2 and B3. Idk if Konjurer will be able to carry the torch or anything.
Ravenous is still ridiculously good too, the pounce gives her better mobility and that variation does more damage than piercing for the same meterless bnb's. She'll still be upper mid at worst barring any universal nerfs.

Combo wise it feels wierd.
She only feels wierd playing mileena and spending meter on a combo. But she can os to blow through any wakeup in the game. She escapes all non jailing pressure for a bar. Aside from being the most meter dependent of the variations, she's still really good and if universal nerfs don't destroy mileena, she'll be top 5-10

It is better this way
Yes. However, Mileena in general builds meter very, very quickly. Especially in Ethereal. Even without meter Ethereal is still scary in my opinion. Just not as much
Ex fade is kind of the basis to playing Mileena. True, she does build meter well but not really as quickly as it would seem because she will be ex fading a lot.

Regular fade can still be useful for mind games and confusion. If opponent knows the MU, having a maniac Ethereal Mileena would destroy you
 

TheGabStandard

The anticipation is killing me
I just feels off to me. I just think that I can't play ethereal correctly. Also, I can't do ethereal combos at all. I think that's it.
Starter xx Roll, Jk xx Telekick xx Air Sai, B2 xx Sai

Starter xx Roll, B3 xx Telekick xx Air Sai, B22 xx Sai

Both do over 30%+ meterless and sets up a fade away to create space. Personally don't think you need to spend meter for her combos
 

Revenant Zero

Death Comes
when you find out NRS gives Unbreakable Sub-Zero:
The Killer Frost special ability and is able to build off more combos when Frozen Aura is active, gaining meter for every 5+ hits.
-When Frozen Aura is active, throwing results into a stand freeze for a combo
-Barrier of Ice can be held, cancelled and have fixed the JIP & JIKs

My predictions:
Alien will get ridiculously torn to pieces by Paulo like all broken DLC
Ferra/Torr will get nerfed back into obscurity
A-List and Cutthroat will go under the radar with minor nerfs and still be top tier
Dragon Fangs Goro will stay the same but will be considered high tier(hang me for this idc)
Unstoppable Jason might end up top 5 even if d1 gets nerfed
Bo Rai Cho will stay the same or even get buffs while also losing lots of his bad matchups, therefore ending up probably top 10
Displacer will be most likely top 5 if it stays the same

Corner combos I should probably use a bar I'm assuming.
