Well I just added a Pros and Cons section to the thread. If you have any suggestions for the section, let me know. Also, I'm planning on making a "Playing Against Mileena" section, let me know if I should or any suggestions for the section.

So I've been thinking about doing a combo video, or a video guide for this thread. The problem is that I don't have DVR to record matches but I do have my IPhone to record gameplay videos. Let me know if I should make some videos.

i don't know if anyone mention (probably has im guessing) but since its not in the OP I'll say it anyway. I just started to learn mileena and I would like to say Mileena's teleport is probably the most punishing anti air out of the whole roster. Most anti air moves usually knocks the opponent down but not mileena's teleport.
It's pretty much a free combo if the opponent jumps and you catch him.
Teleport (or ex) -> air sai -> ballroll (You can catch them!) -> any combo leads to 20% dmg mbe more for just a jumping opponent. This is must know info for people wanting to learn mileena's potential.
All in all be wary of your jumping against a mileena.

Oh, please, go ahead ! You can let ready all the thread structure and layout, despite Skarlet coming only in the next week or until the month's end (I hope so!), and reserved posts for putting combos, strategies, special moves, match analysis , etc ...... this way, once Skarlet is here, you can post there.
Well, I know it's a weird idea to build a character thread before this character is released, but, since Skarlet is 100% confirmed and she'll be here in the next couple of weeks, I don't see no reason to not make already a character thread to her .....
You can put her character thread title as "Skarlet Thread -"Yaaaiiiihh!"
haha XD !!
If you do it, I will support this thread, since I'm desperate for Skarlet to be released to start to explore her moveset in Training Mode ....
hehe !! XD :mrgreen:

Yeah I actually did say that in the anti-air section. But I didn't post any combos that start with a Teleport Drop.

just did some more practice with mileena and pretty much consistently able to do jump kick -> teleport -> air sai -> ball combos on people on the ground. Pressing U+F+3 (JK), then instant FF is really tough. I use U+F(jump forward), F+3 (twice really fast). I consistently able to combo people. The combo itself probably works against people who would use uppercut against anti air but I'm not sure because of the fact that when a person is crouching, the jump kick to teleport doesn't work. Characters seem to hit the ground faster when you jump kick them while they're crouching. Still my input IMO is the easiest to use and you will amaze ppl with your seemingly godly skills of being able to jump kick teleport combo while they're on the ground.

hum .... I don't think Mileena is one of the best in the game, but, she is pretty stable, trusty and overall, good to use for fast pace fights. I'm realistic and don't want to act with bias on my favourite character. She is not perfect , and , she has her flaws.
In MK, you have 3 target opponent damage zone to deal with : up level, middle level and low level ..... Mileena is a good character because she has special moves that covers all these issues .... but she has some serious weakness that it's impossible to put her in top/high tier positition :
- She has poor default combos, in this field, Kitana and Jade have better options, more 3 hits combos, while Mileena has more 2 hits .... with low damage
- Her special moves are the most punishable of all in the game ... so, you play a "russian roulette" all the time : if you hit, you start your best combos, if not, you are punished to death .....
- Mileena's gameplay depends a lot of her kick buttons, much more than her punch buttons , this way, a smart player sometimes can see "that coming" .....
- Opponents tend to bait you a lot, in order to purposely, make you do a Teleport Kick or Ball Roll, to next, block and punish you, so, online , lots of players try to avoid the pure rushdown against Mileena , and opt for a more boring and annoying defensive gameplay. I notice this specially against Kung Lao playes online.

Those weaknesses just prove how balanced Mileena is within the MK cast. She's not overpowered, and she's not underpowered. Which is more than I can say for Kung Lao and Ermac.

Ermac is balanced.
What he boasts in special moves he lacks in mix ups.
If you just block high, Ermac is left with nothing but his weak zoning game (weak for teleporters at least.)

Yeah, and Ermac has nothing on crossovers. Just dashblock to get to him (stand almost next to him and be fast before he uses footsies), then jump over him, jump punch and start up the mixups. He can hardly do anything about that. Very balanced when you consider he has easy combo's and the best lockdown game aside from maybe Johnny Cage (if played well).

BANALITY
[I am not sure if this is the right place to ask for help, so moderators please delete/move if inappropriate.]
As much as I like fighting games, the sad truth is that I really suck against human opponents.
But since I enjoy MK9 so much, I decided to better myself and systematically learn some characters I like.
Currently I am trying to learn this combo:
"Up+4, Up+4, Back+1, 4, 4, Ball Roll, Uppercut: 32% damage. Easy to remember, and pull off."
The problem is, that I cannot get the 4 - Ball Roll connection to work.
After the second 4, my opponent (Noob) kind of crumbles and then the Ball Roll goes "through" him, without any hit, and Mileena ends up far away from her opponent (so Uppercut is not possible).
What am I doing wrong?
Is there a video of this combo?
Another question:
Would "Back+1, 4, 4, Ball Roll, Uppercut" also work as a combo (of course damage would be lower)?
Help would be much appreciated...

Hi .....
This combo is one of the easiest to do, was me that suggested it
the trick lays in 2 options :
1) Instead of do separate the Ball Roll comand as B,D,4 .... do it this way
B,D+4 (push D and 4 together, at the same time)
or
2) use the "yoga flame" technique (lol, remember Dalshim ?) :
do a complete 180 move starting from B,D,F, +4, passing through the diagonals arrows ... work anyway for Mileena Roll Ball
Do one of these 2 options as soon as you push the second 4 comand in the combo, this way, you buffer-link the Roll Ball "inside" the 4 button , more or less.
Or go in training mode and train only 4, + ball roll until catch it correctly, if you do ball roll a split second after pushing 4 button, you do it all the time
Yeah, B+1,4,4,Ball Roll Uppercut works, 26% damage .... I suggest you to dominate complete these other 3 combos here too ..... are the easy BnB Mileena combos, and, do at least more or less 1/4 damage of 100% full bar, and, you can pull of anytime you hit the first move :
Ball Roll, U+4, B1+4, Uppercut - 24% damage
B+1,4,Ball Roll,B+1,4,Uppercut - 28% damage
U+4, U+4, B+1,4,4, Ball Roll, Uppercut - 32% damage
They are the basic BnB you should master to have a good BnB arsenal to use any time online, hehe ......
Simple, you know if you connect your first Ball Roll, or Boot Down, or Split Kick, you have options to follow next you a good combo.
XD
