So i finally found a local tournament that is going to have MK and from all my matches with other people Mileena seems to be my strongest character. Anything on Mileena i should practice getting down?
Scout your opponent early. Like my homeboy
Sonya Blake said dont work off u4 and b3 off jump in opportunities. If you can get u4s on block make the opponent respect a frame trap 42 i think only armor can interrupt it, if they respect that then you can always try and play mixups off b3 b33 or b3 hitconfirmed to roll or b3 into ex ball if they respect the b33 string on block.
This goes for pressure or free/easy jump in opportunities, dont base your gameplan on this because offline jumps are very punishable. like blake said, the smart AA ball roll will be your friend, try and frustrate your opponent with d4s and sais once you can predict or bait jumps, you can telekick them into sai roll combos or at closer ranges time a patient ball roll for aa. Abuse her low hitbox like i tell my other friend, shes the best at scooting around on her ass using d4s and she is hard to touch at times with that hitbox, but with mileena it always comes down to converting your punishes into full damage potential and knowing when to zone and when to pester with d4, despite her u4 b3 mixups and whatnot, she really seems most potent when forcing mistakes, sadly her damage is low, and you will need to stick to your game plan in order to win.
Last bit of a tip, when cornered or frustrated by pressure, use care when waking up, mileena is one of those characters that people are really careful with when shes getting off the ground, its easy to resort to a ball roll or telekick on wakeup but most opponents expect it.
Good luck at your tournament
