Tech - Ethereal [Ethereal] Mileena can be thrown out of her Fade invisibility/invincibility

[Sami]

Edit: this was tested on the Steam version

When holding down 2 to remain hidden after performing Fade/Fade Towards/Fade Away she is immune to all forms of attacks except for hits that come up "Throw" in training mode. This includes the regular throw (1+3), command throws such as Sonya's Military Stance 1, etc.

Easiest way to test is to pick a character and set reversal to Throw and then do f3~bf2. If you let go of the 2 immediately you will reappear safely but if you hold down the 2 you will reappear where you went invisible and get thrown.

Disclaimer: I have not tested it with all moves that hit as "Throw".

Yeah I found this out a couple of days ago. Good to make a topic on this to bring awareness as my comment will probably get lost in the General Discussion thread

You can avoid the throws but you have to release the button as soon as you see the start up animation of a throw/grab. However, that's basically a hard read so not always viable. Ethereal has some issues but still feel there is some hidden potential
