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

Do any of you have tips for executing instant air sais? I'd say that is my biggest problem with Mileena. I feel like you have to be good at it with Ethereal and I'm very inconsistent with it. Any tips?
If you're on Pad, I sometimes roll my thumb from Up to Back, like a quarter-circle motion, and then hit forward as soon as possible. Make sure the input from Back to Forward is CLEAN. If you roll it you may get some Down inputs in there that cause it to drop.

I need everyone's help in the Scorpion MU. When he pokes me with a d4 it knocks me so far back my counter pokes whiff. What do I do against a Scorpion that d4's? I try blocking it and pushing b12 only to get my shit pushed in. I'm lost. What are my options?

I use D4 to counter poke pokes that put me out of D3 range :p
D4 on hit guarantees you a run into S2/grab/B1/F4 and it's safe.

Could you d4 back or f2 since it's a true mid or is d4 not negative enough? Also I'm just gonna get it out of the way before anyone else says so here it goes. Yolo roll

This beta really made me reevaluate my priorities.

Mileena has rocketed up from a sub to a definite main.

I fucking love Ravenous. Previously it felt so inconsistent in the old netcode but now I can land everything and my chain grab inputs always come out correctly and everything works and it's great.

New netcode, same ol' complaints from opponents haha. "Mileena is only good online" comments still popping up smh. And people are STILL getting hit with the roll.
Mileena isn't only an online problem. It's an offline problem too. I mean it's like Lao's spin. Just such a dominant move that catches you for pressing buttons. It's annoying fighting a character knowing they have a move that will beat all of yours unless you block.

Ask me about my Mileena agenda.
My Empress, I'm sorry for ever doubting you, I never meant to replace you as my main. Johnny was just supposed to be a secondary, A SECONDARY. I have since returned to the light and it is glorious. Can you please forgive my ignorance, beautiful, beta bae?

As for EX Roll capturing, it definitely AAs for a combo, but it's generally more effective to use regular Roll or B3.

Whats a good Ethereal corner combo and optimal mid screen combo?
Midscreen:
Starter~roll deep NJP (it has to be deep) run b34~air sai run B22~sai
Starter~J4~telekick~air sai run B22~sai
And do a fade for meterbuilding afterwards.

Corner:
Starter~roll run D2 NJP 2, 2, 21U4/4U3 1+2/123~sai
Starter~roll run B34~air sai NJP 2, 21U4/4U3 1+2/123~sai

(21U4 for set up, 4U3 1+2 for damage and 123~sai for meterbuilding)
