I feel the same way. She feels gutted without the extended strings.Seriously, why in the name of Mileena's sweet buns aren't her string extensions base kit?
Have a similar oppinion about air sai and air telekick. Its silly really.

I'd love to have a skin without that helmet. Her braid is kinda like MK4 Tanya's with a hint of MKDA Kitana's.kahnum skin- w/o helmet
I hear that but the string extensions are most useful as an ender imo -- i dont want to depend on hitting an 18 frame mid to start a combo. 11throw will get you murdered. I think they're ok to leave on the table. Low sai/high is MU dependent.I wanna give Rolling Thunder a shot, but my first two slots will always be dedicated to her command grab and string extensions (if only so that F3,4 is hit-confirmable), and I'm having a hard time budging from Low Sai/Ground Sai.

I have to agree here. The moves should have been part of her base moveset same as extended strings.I wanna know why air teleport or sai isn't base. Like why is that considered so strong that she can't immediately have it?
Ita funny how Stephanie said this Mileena is based on MK2 Mileena, but this Mileena isn't able to do shit she could do 25 years ago
Honestly, I don't even use her string extensions, I just really like being able to hit confirm F4, 3. I play a lot of Johnny and manage to whiff punish with his B3 all the time, and that's 18 frames too, so there's some familiarity there even if it doesn't reach as far.I hear that but the string extensions are most useful as an ender imo -- i dont want to depend on hitting an 18 frame mid to start a combo. 11throw will get you murdered.

Her character towers! They added a 6th set of towers when they introduced Jensei augments (Character specific augments) and completing them rewards you with a bunch of jensei augments. She's got some pretty neat ones.Where did you get these augments?
Most string extensions in this game should be base kit just for variety's sake alone. Maybe in a future patch..I wanna give Rolling Thunder a shot, but my first two slots will always be dedicated to her command grab and string extensions (if only so that F3,4 is hit-confirmable), and I'm having a hard time budging from Low Sai/Ground Sai.

Yes. They went to the trouble of making them different, but in such small ways that you wonder why they bothered. Even with side by side comparisons, you just go 'okay, I guess Jade has slightly bigger boobs than Kitana...'I fail to see any difference between the female ninjas, especially in their klassic skins. Sindel & Sheeva are the only ones with noticeable differences, IMO.
It's not. It deals 20 more dmg from the hop, but adds more gravity so you cannot follow up d2 with anything, ending you with a lot less dmg than the regular roll.I'm getting pretty sold on rolling thunder, it's more or comparable damage
yeah you don't use D2, I'm having a good run with 34cmdgrand as the ender and I'm pretty sure I could get an f1 in there beforehand. Plus I'm finding it is pretty good at yoloing.It's not.

I do still like it, I'm hoping we find some wacky way to get to the same dmg.
Glad that you're enjoying her so far. For her command grab, it doesn't tick off of anything except her low pokes, and you can only combo into it if the opponent is in a juggle state. That said, it is very much worth getting the hang of it for online, because the guessing game it introduces off of her plus frames seems very strong, but ymmv, of course.Earlier today, Green Man Gaming finally got, and sent, the Kombat Pack 2 Pre-Purchase codes, so 45 hours after launch, I got to play my pre-order content .
Anyway, I did all three character Tutorials, and I've started on Mileena's Character Towers; I've completed the First Stage. I'm toying with her Tournament Variations right now simply to get a feel for things, and I really like her Twisted Sister Variation.
The string extensions, Play Time, are really fun, I wasn't keen on Low Sai in "Tooth & Klaw," and I'm actually enjoying her Kahnum Rush, though of course you can't kombo off it. I expect I will ultimately swap it out for Ball Roll, though not being able to kombo off Ball Roll by default is going to take a lot, and I mean a lot, of getting used to.
One thing I can't figure out so far, her Command Grab, can it link off anything? Thus far, I've had no luck with that.
Overall, I'm finding the character fun, but she certainly feels slower and generally gimped compared to her past two incarnations, but that generally describes every character in the game so at least she fits in.
Isn't it a high?I started playing KL with her today, AMAZING.
Sai slide, Stabyscotch, and Playtime is my loadout.
But I went against an M60 spamming Rambo and I need to lab him asap cause it was UGLY. lmao. That thing shoots forever.
yep, but it's too low to the ground and she can't roll under it.Isn't it a high?
Seems like a waste. Gotta use your defensive meter and you take a damage reductionWas briefly messing around with Vanish to see what utility there is. So far if you do starter xx amp Roll, dash, s3 xx Vanish it only gets you 20ish% but it leaves you +6 to +8 depending on how high you hit the s3 and it leaves you at max range for F2 to connect so a potential invisible mixup between that and B2. Going to investigate more.
Probably will be at the end of it, just trying to not leave a stone unturned.Seems like a waste. Gotta use your defensive meter and you take a damage reduction
I feel you. I've been labbing like crazy tooProbably will be at the end of it, just trying to not leave a stone unturned.
