One blocked move from Kung Lao = easy ~30-60% from anyone, and it's a big part of his play. Kung has 3 moves, all 3 are amongst the most unsafe in the game and Kungs projectile is probably the worst in the game and ain't doing shit in this game.
None of what you said explains why she's the worst character in the game or worse than Jade. If you're throwing out naked teleports and rolls, you will get punished, much like throwing out a naked Kabal spin will get you punished. But like Kabals spin, Mileena's roll is quick and can catch you off guard, and both are easily punishable on block. iAFB with Mileena is decent, not as good as it is in MK2 or as good as other iAFBs in the game, but it's definitely good if used correctly. Her teleport kick is great for air to air, more specifically on jump backs, which happen a lot. I mean, she has a pop-up combo where Jade does not, and she definitely out damages Jade in both normal combo damage and certainly in punishment damage.
And this isn't even getting into all the match-ups stuff which you haven't even elaborated on either, which is what I was waiting for. All the above aside, what are Jade's favorable MU's compared to Mileena?
Were comparing Mileena and Jade. Not Mileena and Kung Lao.
Kung Lao has 4 moves, not 3.
Kung Lao's projectile is no worse than Mileena's Sai.
aAFB with Mileena is not decent, LOL. Not at all. Not good at all.
Her Teleport kick is not that great for air to air. Who the hell is jumping around like that, good players rarely leave the ground, and will rarely get his by that move (which is easily beat air to air btw) Horrible option and position for her to be relying on.
I am very sorry, but you cannot compare Mileenas Roll (or any move) to Kabals Spin.
A pop-up combo, you mean? Oh lawd, that means she isn't bottom tier I suppose? Huge negative. Means nothing in a blank context… Pointless "point"
She does not out damage Jade in normal combo damage (quite close) Mileena has the edge on punishment damage/and punishers
I promise you, Mileenas roll rarely catches anything by surprise, especially on good players who use GJ's. Playing with fire there, my friend. She can't do it. Punish, sure, but she aint throwin it out like that.
Zone game I give to Jade by far, rushdown I give to Jade by far.
I will go through a match-up analysis when I have the time.
Mileena may or may not be better against Kabal, but that is one match-up. You are basing it strictly off of bocked spin potential, lol. I would rather have Jade anyway and run right through his iAFB spam, potentially shutting it down, altering his game and forcing him to respect it. You, again, can't base a characters tier placement based off of one match-up (even if it is the best character in the game). Agaist H Smoke I would much rather have Jade.
Your basing all of this off of theory fighter when I am basing it off the fact that I can kompetitive with both Jade and Mileena and every character in the game. Last time I faced your Mileena and Jade, well, we just won't talk about that. I will admit I do pride myself on my Jade and consider myself a Jade specialist as you do Sheeva.
Your looking for Hanzo and NoDoubt to make your points for you anyway so you may as well just be indifferent here…. Mileena jumps #13… kant believe that.
