General/Other - Mileena The Mileena General Discussion Thread (All Variations)

[Jolt]

Dudes, help me out here. Tell me is it normal that in Piercing I can't connect B22 in this following string -->(starter), ball roll, B12, BF1, RC, B22, etc. In Piercing I cant hit it, but in Ethereal I can do it with no problems. Is it normal?

Piercing's b2 is slower, so yeah it should be normal. Not sure about that specific combo, but I'm not at all surprised due to the difference in b2 startup frames

Can you post a video? Never seen anyone combo off of a sai yet ... sounds dope.

I like the new Mileena. Her B12 staggers are still good but nobody should complain about it now and she has better zoning and better pokes <3

Sorry but I don;t know how. I am kinda backwards if it comes to such stuff. I don't know how to record on the PS4 ad then post it somewhere.

I think we all would have preferred neutral on block (Ronin style), but -1 isn't going to get anybody killed. I'm excited for the adjustments to all 3 variations. I still would have liked low sai to remain more than +2, but with the buffed pokes, I get it.

Thanks dude. I should check the frame data before posting that.xD

Ethereal has gotten nothing but better.

Her meter build is still great, and the ia sais are soooo good.

Even ground sais are excellent. The 6f d1, f4 being able to stagger (-8 if I remember correctly), I'm nothing but happy for what Ethereal got and I won't even whine about not getting a few frames off either side of regular fade.

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

I actually tested it and her low sais are still +7. I was too sleepy tonight that I thought they were +2 again lol.

Wait is her f4 -8 now?

 

[FoughtDragon01]

I wonder what people's excuses will be now that Mileena's 'braindead' b12 pressure got adjusted. Because Ethereal apparently just disappeared from the game. Seriously, this is like getting conned out of $10 on payday.

That's what I recall seeing post-update this morning. I *might* be remembering wrong, I'll be back to confirm in about 25 minutes if no one beats me to it.

Either way, it is VERY CLEARLY not the -31 or so that it used to be.

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

I think the active frames nerf was a smart change. Instead of making B1 slower, a high or B12 -5 again. It is very easy for every character to get out now so her B12 aren't as good but B1 is still a great footsie tool and you can still AA with it even tho the timing is different.

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

F4 is -8 now. It's true.

 

[Yoaks]

Are you guys talking about f4? Or f44? Cause I tested it before work and I was punishing f44 with Kenshis 7 frame d1.

F44 was listed at being -9 when I checked this morning.

Does B1 xx Roll still armour break 11f or higher wakeups? Might be harder to do with the lower active frames

A 7 frame d1 still punishes something that's -8

How is b1 as an anti air. That was my biggest worry when I heard about the active frames

Ethereal is good man what are you talking about.

I haven't tested it tbh.

It's good but you have to time it right, you can't just throw it out and AA because of the long active frames. Also it's easier to whiff punish it now.

Sorry, I was joking. Looking at how crazy people were getting over Piercing's b12, they made it sound like that was the ONLY piece of dirt Mileena had and completely forgot about Ethereal, which arguably benefited the most from these changes. Now they're gonna realize that maybe b12 wasn't her dirtiest trick.

I fail to see how b12 was dirty. It was a legitimate footsie tool and they neutered it. Heaven forbid players try to play Mileena more tactfully and less yolo. For goodness sake...

Maybe it's because of active frames, but now it's so hard to confirm b12 to roll, which makes this variation useless, since you can only yolo ex roll/low sai after b12. Am I the only one who noticed this or something wrong with me today?

It was hard to confirm pre patch as well.
