Mileena? That is a Liu Kang edit on the right.
And you could let Mileena's sai's fly once the round started. You could do any projectile or special that required only one direction, repeated (or a held button) at the very start of the round. Example would be, playing as Scorpion, the anouncer says, "Round 1", while he says this, you begin hitting back and low punch repeatedly. Once the game allows you to move, you'll throw Scorpion's spear. For some reason the whole back, back, doesn't seem to matter in this instance. Same goes for holding buttons. You could do Jax's ground pound or Liu's Bicycle kick right off the bat by holding the appropriate button during the Vs screen then letting it go as soon as the round started.
I'd say something about the fake, but I feel Goro covered it quite well.
