Loses to uppercuts
I used to not be into playing over used fighters. And now I use CSZ, Sek, and Shang. Ya, my next pick up will be top tier and over used. Maybe Kabal, or Jax. Something along those lines.
Yeah, online Reptile can win a lot easier with the lag advantage and dash, but I have found over time he's not as bad as I thought initially. Good reps are annoying but can be dealt with, I deal with Reptile with Ermac(keeping him far and honest, with throws) and with Sektor as he can outzone Reptile with the missles and flames rock his dash!
I have enjoyed her mostly in this game, I played a bit in MK3 but didn't really play the version after that cause they kind of sucked. I win some matches here and there, but not like when I was playing Sonya or Jax. It's rough. I know what you mean about the mind games, I'll stomp a couple of times to make them paranoid and stop turtling, then I can air grab or standing 4 them and make them think twice about being in air, it can confuse people definitely. I actually find she works fairly well against Kenshi who Sonya and Jax have a hard time dealing with. Some matches just suck though, Raiden seems out frame her speed wise, out teleports out everythings me. Mileena is such a pain too, roll takes out so many low attacks and telekick just demolishes any attempts at telestomp and with crappy lag you can't air grab them. Not only that, but I did an enhanced bf3 and Mileena was doing an U4 and it completely missed her. I was right on top of her too, it's just out of range or something. Those matches seem near impossible with anyone around your same skill, maybe I just need to learn the match more and play it differently with her.
I totally agree about the guessing game, if you can guess right you can do some nice damage but you guess wrong and you eat a combo. Sucks everything is so specialized, air grab, only works in air, low grab only works low and bf3 only works if they are standing or low in air. It's kinda frustrating.
The only thing Kabal has over Sheeva is that stupid ass ndc infinite pressure, she has a 6 frame d1, a 7 frame d3 which can sometimes save her if they mess up. The downside is her hitbox is way too big to avoid it if they are consistent with it. She does have some advantages with her armor though, if they are putting on pressure and they aren't ducking often you can armor bf3 and get a nice 22% damage for them being too eager. Only telestomp when he is focused on iagb mindlessly sometimes and thinks you have no way in, always use the enhanced version to go through the fireball stream and close the distance, Trading a ground stomp for a sawblade, or a non enhanced dash which a decent number of kabals do on wakeup sometimes is ok as well and better than even attempting to trade your slow ass fireball with his fast ones. Always be careful though if they have meter they will likely use an enhanced dash and get a combo on you with no meter though ground stomp is your best bet full screen. You don't have to demolish him, which likely you won't you just have to hurt him more with trades than he hurts you. Never ever ever do telestomps unless Kabal is busy doing something else, otherwise he will just wait, dash and combo you for free. It's a winnable match, just not an easy or even fair one. You just have to be very careful, patient and know when to throw out your armor.
That was kind of my reason to pick her up as well. Very satisfying feeling beating people with higher trueskill than you online with a character people say has almost no chance in winning certain matches.
Now days yes, but when the game first came out it seemed every other player was using her or every few matches anyway. But now if I had to say, I'd replace Mileena with Cage
