Were not talking about a knockdown, he just meant d4 sai. If d4 hits and you sai after, it can't be blocked.

42 xx Tele xx sai roll b14 tele xx sai (Midscreen)

A little late posting, but thanks for the above, I'll tinker with them later.

The first is actually similar to something I've been tinkering with, which is based on something I saw you do at Toryuken 2, and the second is exactly like one of my combos save I end it a little differently.

Just wanted to say thanks, these two are great. The first is now the highest damage output I can do with Mileena, and the second, ending it the way you do, squeezes an extra 2% out of what I was originally doing.

Cheers!

Hi Jer,

Another question for you, if I may: I typically play the game on my Vita during my commutes to and from work now, leaving me no choice but to play the AI (Expert Arcade Ladder runs and Test Your Luck, mostly).

Against the AI, you can usually get away with a lot of jump in punches, which is what I often do against it to start my combos, however with Mileena, I find doing Splits after a Jump in Punch doesn't always connect as a proper string.

In the Practice Room it's fine, but in matches, I often find the AI Blocks my first Splits after the Jump In Punch (and the Jump In Punch does indeed connect).

Basically, do you happen to know why it works in Practice, but not in a match?

Thanks!

Hmm, thats weird. It should always connect, maybe the timing is messed up or something, because once you hit with a jip you have all day to connect with another move

Yeah, it's gotta be a timing error on my end then. I'll tinker and see in a bit.

Thanks!
