What's with the Mileena downplay? I believe she has to be played a certain way and can't just run up and 50/50 city like some characters. She has to bait and punish. I'm still learning how to use her tools properly. I just learned she can roll under projectiles lol.
How negative? If Lao's spin can't punish it that doesn't matter.
-8 on HIT!
Slight difference between downplaying and being real. Rolling under projectiles doesn't outweigh her moves being negative on block and her only overhead being slower than Batman's f3. 32 frames. Upplay that.
As an anti air is it viable?
She has 50/50 dude.
I'm sure this will get fixed eventually. That's pointlessly hurting the character, and probably an oversight.
Is that what you would call a weakness? or a playstyle?
Are you talking about her F3 or EX roll? I mean, I guess technically she does but in comparison to majority of the cast, it's a bit garbage.
My point is that she isn't a rush down character at all. She has a low projectile which can duck under other projectiles and a roll that goes under mid projectiles. Her roll is a fantastic anti air and her b12 is a solid whiff punisher. I just feel like people are trying to go ham with her when that's not how she was designed.
The bad normals and 32 frame overhead I would definitely call a weakness. The way I play her is not a weakness, just how I play her.
She has a few strings that are cancelable that have a low so you have to guess between those. She also has her low starter or ex roll as a starter. Not the best 50/50's but imo the best 50/50's in this game shouldn't be how they are.
And to answer everyone's concern over "Mileena isn't a rushdown, in your face character."
The game is still young though, that might change.
Yes, thats what I'm hoping for.
One is a blockable mid. The other is an actual throw that only connects with crouching opponents. This gives the 50/50 of block the low poke or get caught by the command throw. It's unsafe if they avoid the throw (i.e. stand up) but that's Mileena all over. The important thing is that it unlike Ex Roll it doesn't require meter to use.
X ray hits overhead.
I'd imagine this is an issue, like, point blank lol. But then again, it's weird that her low sai is so negative when you have other low projectiles being pretty damn good.
