Mileena Thread - "Let Us Dance!"

I hear that! Smoke<3

Hello Mileena players, I'm here to give you some insight on your Matchups against Smoke. Feel free to Copy n Paste the following into the first post:

Mileena will find herself at a small disadvantage against Smoke, however nothing too major. Never attempt to trade hits on Soaring Sai with his Smoke Cloud, as he'll be able to combo chain you once it connects. A better solution would be her Ball Roll or Teleport Kick. You'll have to be patient when facing Smoke. Be patient when it comes to a Smoke that spams teleport. Block his Teleport Punch and punish with a combo (such as 1,1,2 if you wanna keep it very simple). Try to catch a jumping in Smoke with your Teleport Kick and use 3,4 to apply poke pressure. All in all, the only things you need to best a Smoke player are fast reflexes, and patience. Your windows to punish will be fairly small, but entirely possible. Block and Punish.

Lol well 95% of smoke users just spam his teleport and smoky cloud so I just uppercut him with any character when he teleports :D
 
Mileena vs. Cyber Sub-Zero

Mileena will find a very dangerous opponent in Cyber Sub-Zero. Her Soaring Sai will always be beat out by his Ice Ball and Teleport Kick is next to useless versus his Counter. Considering they're on par with the amount of High-Low Mixups, try to trip them up if you can get close to them. Otherwise you're at a plain disadvantage, both close range and far. Proceed with caution vs. Cyber Subby.

I guess I'll replace Smoke with Cyber Sub-Zero.
 
If you can avoid to abuse and being predictable using ball rolls and teleport as a spam whore, Mileena can do fine against any character. She is pretty fun to play with.
 
is it just me or is it hard to get her combos off in a real match?

It depends on which combos. The one that starts with "move + Ball roll" are pretty easy to score. She has a simple medium starter (1,1 or 2,3), a low starter with B+3, and a overhead that hits crouching opponents, U+4, that juggles. You just have to keep the pressure going and try not to abuse her specials.
 
i have 2 words. RAYDEN, KUNG LAO. there the only people that are a total pain. especially rayden. ps. thx for the help
 
Sorry I haven't been updating this thread recently. I've been playing with other characters besides Mileena. I'm about to update with several new combos, and I'll create a Corner Combos section.
 
Very good job here, on Mileena's thread, REPTILE.

I'm a loyal supporter of Mileena, she is my current favourite character and the one I play better (but I'm looking to train OK with Skarlet), and any information about her gameplay is very welcome.

Mileena is pretty underrated online, I hope people discover how good she is, her gameplay is cool to use, and her move set and combos, easy to memorize.

Kinda ironic how I once predicted that Mileena would be the most played online because of her nearly-nude flesh pits costume. Now, she's actually the 5th least played character on Xbox Live, 4th on PSN.
