Li Mei + Khameleon is super fun and hella viable. I honestly think this might be her new best variation. Or at least tied with scorpion.
Mileena makes her ex db3 launch (much like scorpion). This gives her a 7 frame punish
.
db3(ex), f+K, 43~bf4 [283.85]
db3(ex), f+K, 3~bf1(ex), ji134~db4 [398.21]
Midscreen you get decent damage with her as well.
124~db3, f+K, 43~bf4 [319.04]
124~bf1(ex), ji134, f+K, ji212~db4[406.11]
124~db3, f+K, bf1(ex), ji134~db4 [378.85]
(Tighter timing) 124~db3, f+K, 4~bf1(ex), ji134~db4 [397.54]
(These combos work from all her standard starters)
4312~K, ji134~db4 [314.26]
4321~K, ji134~bf1(ex), ji13~db4 [400.81]
(This will work with any grounded starter)
f4~bf1(ex), 43~db3, f+K, 4~bf4 [366.07]
You can also get a combo off ex iadb4 although the timing is a bit weird/tight.
ia db4(ex), f+K, 43~bf4 285.55
She gets a mini-launch off her armoured reversal (ex bf4) although you have to commit to the kameo before you see if it’s hit.
bf4(ex), f+K, bf4 [189]
bf4(ex), f+K, bf1(ex), 4~bf4 [234.30]
bf4(ex), f+K, bf1(ex), bf1(ex), 4~bf4 [257.51]
In the corner she gets big girl damage
124~db2, f+K, db2, j134~db4 [370.56]
124~db2, f+k, db2, j134~bf1(ex), j13~db4 [423.22]
124~bf1(ex), 43~db2, f+K, db2, ji134~db4[434.93]
4321~K, 4~db2, db2, j134~db4 [413.97]
4321~K, 4~db2, db2, j134~bf1(ex), j13~db4 [473.37]
(works for all grounded starters)
Kitana’s fan gives her a way to plug her gaps and remain safe. While there is a gap when cancelling into the fan, it’s not big enough to poke out and so will catch anyone who tries to down poke or neutral duck. If they try and armour out, the fan multi hits and will break. This gives her a reliable way to enforce her plus frames with b34, 214, and 434. If the fan hits a counter poke attempt, it launches for a decent combo
K, 43~bf4 [205]
K, 4~bf1(ex), ji134~db4 [325.38]
She also gives some decent damage midscreen with Kitana.
124~db3, f+K, 124~db4 [325.82]
124~db3, f+K, 212~bf1(ex), ji13~db4 [394.16]
4312~bf1(ex), 43~db4, f+K, 134~db4 [407.26]
(works with any grounded starter)
Li Mei also gets a throw combo with Khameleon Kitana.
THRW, f+K (at the height of the throw before the lion hits), 134~db4[176.70]
THRW, f+K (at the height of the throw before the lion hits), 134~bf1(ex), ji13~db4 [227.17]
She can use the jump to combo full screen off her regular bf1; just hold forward and you’ll jump full screen. You get a jump in attack to start whatever you want
In the corner she hits like a truck too. Heaven help the person who tries to poke in her gaps. Getting launched for 400+
124~K, db2, db2, j134~db4[387.44]
124~K, db2, db2, ji134~bf1(ex), j12~db4[440.10]
4312~K, 4~db2, db2, ji134~db4 [415.49]
4312~K, 4~db2, db2, ji134~bf1(ex), j13~db4 [471.4]
(Works for all grounded starters)
Jade appears to function similarly to Sarena’s knife toss kameo. Gives her some decent damage midscreen.
4312~K, f43, ji134~db4 [349.75]
4312~K, 4312~K, f43, ji134~db4 [397.34]
4312~K, f43, ji134~bf1(ex), ji13~db4[416.35]
4312~K(hold), b34~db3, f+K, 212~bf1(ex), ji13~db4[450.62]
(Works on any grounded starter)
Similar to her other variations, she hits hard in the corner.
4312~K, f43, 3~db2, db2, ji134~db4[426.48]
4312~K, f43, 4~db2, db2, ji134~bf1(ex), ji13~db4[472.19]
4312~K(hold), 4312~K, 4~db2, db2, ji134~db4[442.99]
4312~K(hold), 4313~K, 4~db2, db2, ji134~bf1(ex), j13~db4[481.83]
Guys she’s sooooo much fun!!
That's some fat dmg, if you have the recourses available.
