If you only knew what I was really planning. Hahahaha!!!!@Crystal don't listen to saltface. he's a dirty traitor to the empire.
long live the empress!
HAHAHAAHHAHAHA!!If you only knew what I was really planning. Hahahaha!!!!
I don't believe soo!He needs to put Unstoppable under there because that's what the extermination of the Mileena race will be.
Which variation of Jason do you think does better against Mileena and why. Been trying Unstoppable and Slasher but I can't beat her.If you only knew what I was really planning. Hahahaha!!!!
Same boat. Great minds breh. What's you favorite combo with her? Im finding a lot of the flashier stuff harder to pull off online. God I wish I was using this variation since day 1.I know over the last few months I've said and attempted to learn Ethereal but I'll admit I never went hard with it. Over the last week I've been picking up the pace with it and I'm in fxcking love! I knew it was dope but it fits my playstyle as a defensive/zoning player. I need a little bit more meter management and a better neutral but I'm sold on it. I'm also bringing my Ravenous back out more - piercing has went mainstream and guys know that MU a lot better now. What they don't know is the joy of going from zoning to pressure.
Ok, let me get my black ass to work. Already late.
No you don't. It was ass day 1Same boat. Great minds breh. What's you favorite combo with her? Im finding a lot of the flashier stuff harder to pull off online. God I wish I was using this variation since day 1.
What @Baconlord said. day 1 Ethereal was horrific, still have nightmares to this day.Same boat. Great minds breh. What's you favorite combo with her? Im finding a lot of the flashier stuff harder to pull off online. God I wish I was using this variation since day 1.
If you notice your opponents respect wake up ex roll too much, you can just throw out F4 high pounce on wake up. It works for me lol. Don' repeat the same stuffs too many times thoughWhat wakeups do you guys use with Mileena? Obviously people are expecting EX roll, so it get's blocked and punished more often than not...I dont't really think TK on wakeup is a good choice, so I go for backdash every now and then. Are there any real options for an agressive wakeup other than EX roll ? I'm playing Ravenous btw, so High Pounce might be a thing. I'm kinda new to the game tho and roll always looks so tempting
Top 3 hands downWhere does she sit Tier Wise now? I know Piercing is crazy or so I've heard but what about Ethereal? (Always thought it looked cool but I only ever see Piercing being used) There that big of a gap between the two variants?
Piercing yes.Top 3 hands down
There are some things worth adjusting though. I feel that forward should be minus and not plus (seriously that fact it can be used for both shredding armor and be used as a pressure tool is ludicrous. It should be one or the other.) I would also increase the hurtbox of roll a bit so it doesnt low profile things it does currently, it currently low profiles some pokes in the game, like triborgs d1 for example. I would increase start up on regular roll as well so its easier to meaty her on wu (she doesnt need a launching meterless wu that challenges timings on meaties, and even if your timing is on point she could low profile the move your using, you guys already have an armored launcher, she doesnt need this) and maybe increase slightly her regular projectile on recovery. I would also like to see her meterless dmg toned down a bit as well. These are things i would look at for change anyway.Hi there Mileena community!
I'll preface this post by saying that I think Mileena is a very solid character. Certainly come a long way since release. As she stands currently, I feel she isn't in need of nerfs as many will claim.
With that being said, as a Kitana main, this match-up drives me absolutely insane! I know every character has their bad match-ups and Kitana is no exception. However, I struggle to pull in a win versus this character, especially Piercing. Her zoning is top notch, countering mine in almost every way. Roll is such an amazing tool for punishes and the EX version has good armor on top of it.
So I come here asking for some general tips and advice in this match-up. I primarily use Assassin, but I acknowledge Royal Storm is probably better here. Jumping in on Mileena is a no-no. Zoning is borderline useless versus Piercing. B21 out ranges my advancing strings. Low blocking and advancing has seen some success, but then I have to play the 50/50 game. Parry works only until they wise up or go back to zoning.
Not saying the match is impossible or any 3-7 nonsense, but I feel I'm missing something here. Other characters have much worse dirt than Mileena, yet I struggle with this match.
Any and all replies would be appreciated.
Forgive me for not specifying. But yes, piercing.Piercing yes.
Ravenous and Ethereal not so much. They are good variations for sure, but not top 3.
I would say usually it is because 9/10 after EX Fade the Mileena player would do either a string with a low like 21, a throw or F4. Once you realise none of those are coming and it is instead F3; there really isn't that much time to react to it by blocking or interrupting with a midSomething about EX fade makes F3 harder to react to.
Piercing is still good as hell. Nobody has really dropped her it's just that the mileena forums are not that active.So, am I the only one still using Piercing, or does that variation still have a bandwagon of which I am unfamiliar?
