So they just revealed Mileena's gameplay variations for MKX and I have to say the hype is too real. From every single character variation I've seen Mileena appears to have the largest variety of variation game play styles.
So far her moves that are consistent throughout each variation are:
Sai Throw- Similar to MK9, comes out a little faster. Does average projectile damage. Second Sai if MB.
Teleport- Very similar to MK9, except far quicker. She disappears through a portal in the ground to attack from above. Can be MB for more damage.
Ball roll- Covers a shorter distance than her roll in MK9, her mb version actually looks like it hits overhead and again hits short range before rolling.
These are her variations:
Ethereal
- Teleports midscreen close and away. She throws her dagger and then disappears for a short period of time before re-appearing where she threw the dagger. Can throw the dagger closer to the opponent or away from the opponent. Hold a button can extend the time she dissapears for. Possibly great anti zoning tool.
- This variation seems far more reset and set up based. Similar to Zatanna in terms of finishing a combo and then teleporting for a mix up.
Ravenous
- Mileena gains a "bite" move where she straddles the opponent and chows on their neck. An imput of certain buttons can extend the damage on the animation.
- A low "command chain grab" inputs a certain chain of buttons that punishes low blocking opponents I believe. The higher the chain of inputs the higher the damage, but some inputs leave the opponent closer to Mileena.
- High "command chain grab" has the same idea as the low, just different animation.
- This variation seems to be like a MK9 Sonya pressure style that once up close can throw out heavy mixups and always keep the opponent guessing.
Piercing
- Gains a air sai throw.
- Gains a low sai throw, does the splits and chucks a dagger to hit low.
- Has various "chain sai combos," just like the low and high "command chain grab" it's a combo that can be extended by a certain input of buttons.
- A heavily zoning based variation with good speed and ability to provide pressure. This seems like the most versatile variation and by far my favorite. Instant air Sai's mixed with low Sai is gonna be so dirty.
Thoughts?
