It's weird like that, also because dashes have a faster startup than rolls, rolls do still tend to have the advantage.

What a bitch lol. Maybe as reptile players we need to find a better way to do this mu. Its always possible that we have been doing it wrong this whole time, Idk
Idk what you're talking about, I don't have too many problems from many Mileena's. Nowadays the only ones that ever really get in my skin are SonicFawks and Pig of the Hut. I think it's a 5-5 MU. You have to play some serious footsies in this Mu and bait stupid shit for punish...yes Mileena's do dumb shit, and often too.
I think it might have to do with my terrible punishes on her or something then lol. Not netting enough damage or something, but she's always a struggle for me
Pig is also extremely good and picked up Mileena to combat Reptile back when we thought the matchup was so awful.
Ok a few q's then
We've debated this over and over, haha. I just can't see how this is even. It's not 7-3 but it has to be in her favor. Reptile can't punish her Tele shenanigans easily. She rolls under our projectiles. Her d4 reach beats ours. She has total air control. And she couldn't give a shit less about wake up pressure save for ex ball. Even when I beat mileena I feel like it is only because the person rolls to much or telekicks into waiting forceballs. I feel like a statue in this match, just setting there.
1. Hope for d1 to connect into combo
This is why i play him, these match ups are definately accurate from my experience he is such a beast of a character, especially online with that non punishable dash. offline it's still possible but he's a well balanced and very very quick character.
If you can't punish the telekicks on block why not make them whiff by putting out d4 and whiff punish them, also as long as Reptile has meter Mileena is afraid to roll or telekick, her ias's aren't that big of an issue, plus NOBODY wants to jump on Mileena in the first place.
lol wut the d4 makes telekick whiff?
Yeah you have to time it right but it's waaaaay easier to do than the standing 1 punish. So when I can't get that right I d4.
Reptile's hitbox is very low to the ground during d4.
Yep.
Alright idk how to interpret this tbh but I'm going to throw out the frame data so maybe you can help me figure this out. The Execution of telekick is 21 frames grounded, and 30 frames from the air. On whiff it takes 40 frames frames for the move to complete. 16 frames pass before the teleport animation as well. What should her advantage be on whiff?? If I'm reading all of it right she would be -19 if she whiffs a grounded telekick and -10 if she whiffs one from the air, because you should just take the startup and subtract from the duration right?? I honestly don't know.
I have played Pig Of The Hut on multiple occassions, particualrly his Mileena, and I know he has been saying for a looonngg time this Mu isn't as bad as Reptile players were making it out to be and he was the one who convinced me it was 5-5. Idk maybe his opinion has changed it's very possible, but that's just from what I know from playing him as well as talking about the MU.
What were his arguing points for saying it is a 5-5?
Last I talked to him about the MU, he told me the only thing keeping this MU from being even was that Mileena could telekick for free...then the telekick punish was discovered like a week later.
I played MIT and he solidified what id been saying for a year that mileena reptile is 5-5
I read it twice and lost train of thought
