The anticipation is killing me
I wish it traveled further but it is what it is. I'm kind of split regarding backdashes in general and whether they are good enough.

Mileena's back dash is good and I think her forward dash is even better, but it could be faster. The thing with back dashes in this game is that they are mostly either slow and travel farther or fast and travel little. Not that she needs it, but if her back dash were to the speed of lets say Jacqui or Kano then I think it could really change her game up. It could help her with spacing to punish. Not that she has a problem with spacing, but it could be like giving her safe dirt besides the OS (which I think isn't going to be around for long) and unsafe roll setups. If her back dash was made faster I think it could be comparable to Rose in Street Fighter 4. Rose's back dash was/is so good because of how fast it was and that it went a pretty good distance. Mileena would be similar to this because her back dash already goes a fair distance away and has average speed. Speeding it up would make it really good imo.
Well the range increase would definitely fix that, but so would characters having slightly increased invincibility frames on startup. Either way works, but I don't know how much increased invincibility would affect moves designed to catch backdash.
Absolutely. I'd be equally happy with a backdash that doesn't get poked in the kneecaps.
Do you mean F143? That finishes with an overhead cartwheelish move.
No it's definitely after b34. She's in the air and comes down with two hits. You gotta quickly press 3~4 to do it.
What is the "perfect timing"? Like on wake up or a blocking standoff? Just hold stand block, the worse she can get you with is a low sai or F4, 4 (advancing low kick). Only one those leads into a combo. On wake-up just bait it or try to see if your character can stuff it. Just remember it's not just a 50/50 on you, it's also a 50/50 on her. Roll is highly punishable, learn how to in training mode. Set Mileena to hold block for a couple of seconds and then do an EX roll or have her Ex roll on wake up or a delayed wake up. You could also try jumping over it to mess up the hit but I don't know if that's consistent or not. Sometimes it works or sometimes they just fall into the animation when they get hit. One things for sure though, I don't think there's specials fast enough, invincible enough , or with enough hits (save spin and x-rays) to straight up beat her Ex roll on reaction. So don't even try that.
It shouldn't. I think the change has more to do with the juggle height of B3 than the speed of Telekick. I'll test it out later when I can.
It hasn't.
IIRC roll is 8 frames, high pounce -7, and idk anything about Cassie.
Cassie's flipkick has a 6 frame start-up which she can use to punish high pounce.
Do you mean in between your pressure? Well, Mileena can't just throw EX roll, she actually has to make a read, she uses mostly to escape pressure, to mix you up, or as a wake-up. As a wake-up, I suggest you to use an armor breaking move if your character has one to make her respect you, then start mixing her up if your character excels on that area, or simply block, but you will have to stay guessing the whole match against her. On pressure I suggest you to bait an ex-roll and punish, and same happens, you make her respect your pressure a bit more, althought ther's always going to be a treat from EX roll.
I know, I am so happy with all her costumes honestly, but I'm specially hype for this one.
Blasphemy!
