RIGHT?! My main training partners can react to F3 offline pretty much no matter what. Honestly though, I think her meta improves once people break down the MU. Until then, people are just going to block and hope she hangs herself. Really, it's probably easier to defend against her this way regardless. Respect everything until she realizes you respect everything. But she might be dead by then, depending on the player lol
She has good stager pressure with her 123 and f12b4 strings. EX fade in my opinion is a great pressure tool. She has a pretty damn good neutral game in piercing. She can compete if people know the matchup l, you just need play a bit more solid.
I'm having players from TYM poke me out of F3 online for like 20 something percent damage lol. I'm finding myself relying on throws more than ever.
What is guaranteed after 123 besides a poke? +2 isn't a lot. Which variation are you speaking of?
Make a load more reads than you normally do and see what happens
Nothing is guaranteed but staggering 1, 12 and 123 is decent as they are all +2, so can go for a throw, B1 becomes 9f, if ballsy Roll is 6f
Standing 1 can be neutral ducked and poked out of. This is what I'm referring to. When I play long sets with players they pick up on this and it completely changes my game plan.
Indeed it can be, hence you have to make so many reads in order to win. You really have to get into the opponent's head first, or have a liquid gameplan so where something doesn't work or you notice a pattern you immediately change up.
this is something i experience quite often when i play long sets against my friends. you gotta change your patterns frequently. for example, one of my partners online is pretty much able to react to mileena's staggers. he always has his finger ready to mash d1 or d2 depending on what stagger i use. this is where it gets interesting. i read his poke, i mash out an ex roll and punish his poke. then the next time he thinks twice about poking my ass. mileena has tools to force respect. just gotta use them sparingly and not be predictable with them.
It's only +2 on block, but repeating it means you essentially have a 9f mid (that can be low profiled). The string ultimately forces action from the opponent and that's what makes it good. It's a very universal tool: Good range, can be special canceled, works to anti-air, etc. It's best used as a stagger.
Soo similarly to Kano's b1 in Cybernetic?
Apparently she does.
its only plus 2 so you don't get any frame traps off it but your at advantage to make a read. if you think there going to hit a button b1 will normally beat. if they try to low profile b1 you can walk back to make it whiff. its also decent for stagers and a fantastic anti air (I was able to consistently anti air subs j1 with b1 at frosty).
I think it's a necessary nerf. Otherwise she could probably frame trap it into itself on block vs a few characters.
I just Input the bf1 immediately after I jump. Theres no real trick to it. If you have input shortcuts on it should be a little easier
