Where there is smoke, there is cancer.
The animation looks like meter burn moves, with the flash later on the animation rather at the start so I guess this is a meter burn...

As for utility... who knows, maybe regular roll is now a knock down instead of a launcher and you might need the meter to juggle?
Oh my god that's a great point I didn't even think about that. Good thinking! :)

Does seem that way actually, Kano is almost on the ground before the second roll so Mileena won't recover in time for any followup so it's just a straight up knockdown.

edit: for regular roll - knockdown with no chance to follow up, meterburn launches

YOMI Slayer had this to say on the Alien nerf:


Ahahaha ohhhh Slayer... Get out.

I'm not sure how I'd feel about that if she needed meter to juggle. She always does seem to have bar though... idk
Well, people were complaining about how she builds so much meter and "breaks 4 times a round" (which I don't think I've ever saw and has never been recorded to my knowledge lol) but they were also complaining about her meterless damage output so I guess this solves the problem, haha.

Hummmmm stopping the Mileena vs Kano gif at the correct frame, you can see Kano is on a jump landing animation so maybe that's why it looks like the first hit isn't juggling him as high... still could be a knock down but we have to wait.

Does that CSZ string connect into Iceball in the current build? (EDIT: It seems like they're showcasing both the CSZ buff and the Cutthroat nerf).
