Official TRMK Tier Rankings: YOU Vote!

Mileena - 6

Great zoning tool and decent mix-ups up-close. She's also got a good wakeup. However, besides the instant air sai, her strengths are not big enough to cover up her weaknesses. She has trouble when being rushed and is forced to use her unsafe moves with poor risk/reward to get pressure off her (she does have her D4 poke though which is amazing). Her average damage output is not terribly great either. The sais are a very good move though.
 
Off my experience fighting her I'd give her an 8.5

EDIT: just disregard my vote. I don't have enough experience with her to form a decent opinion
 
I give Mileena a 8.0

She has great mind games and mixup combos. Plus, she can be used as either a zoner with her Sai or anti-zoner with her Roll, and Teleport. Only weaknesses is low damage and most of her damaging combo are kinda hard to pull off.

-No low specials
-Punishable port and ball
-Slow starting combos
-Very predictible

My judge can be affected a bit with the fact I dont like her and I find her as one of the most boring chars of the game, but im pretty sure that your judge is much more affected by the fact that you like her so much and she's your main.

No proffesional in the subject would give her a 9.

Im fat to be a pro too but I try to be more impartial and leave my "love" for the char aside, like when I gave Scorpion, Noob and Kabal only an 8.

Lol, typo? "far" would be my guess.
 
I would give Mileena a 8.25.

She's really good if used properly. The only problem is that she cannot really deal with zoners from what I've experienced. Her teleport can be predictable and punishable. Overall, I like her alot, probably a solid mid-tier with the potential to be high-mid tier

I understand that fully. I actually look forward to reading this thread. Outside of the number, the commentary has a lot of really useful information, which is why I'm glad 13 has decided to do it piecemeal like this. If everyone just voted a number for all the characters at once, there would be no time for discussion which would make this thread pretty worthless in my opinion.

But voting on a character when you have zero experience playing with him only serves to skew the final number towards...well meaninglessness. Even though it's just for fun, the final numbers that are posted in this "Official TRMK" thread are going to color people's opinions. Shouldn't we at least try and be a little bit objective? Admitting you've never played a character before means that your vote is 100% subjective...i.e. worthless.

Yeah you dont imagine my reaction now, j/k but 10? is too much lol

My score was 6 but I dont think Mileena con go further than an 8, she is an underrated char, true, but she cannot go further than a mid tier I think.

I dont think any char could reach a perfection (a 10), but if 10 is not perfection, 10 is the best then I think Kung Lao, Sub and maybe Shang are the only ones that can reach that score, like aj327 we are not being fully objective.
This is Tiers not preferences. But if what Jade said is right, then this is just for fun is not a pro tier list so is ok, i guess.


This just my opinion, dont hatemail me please.
 
Mileena is a very good character.
Good- She can zone and anti zone really well. All her moves are very effective if used right and she is quick Bad- Very weak combo damage. If her moves are blocked your opponent gets a big frame advantage.

Overall. 8.0

You're voting on the skill and general usefulness, matchup advantage, etc. of Mileena, not superficial aspects like reactions from friends. As such I'm not counting this as valid.

Additionally, since Kratos is only available on PS3, and most couldn't give him an accurate vote, I'm removing him from the listings altogether.

Thank you all for your votes! Please continue to vote on Mileena! And remember, vote on skill, not popularity. If you don't know enough on a character, simply ask that your vote not be recorded and I will omit it from the averaging.

Thank You.
 
Mileena has great mix ups
She's fast and can do some long combos with ease.
Great control of space due to her teleport kick, which works as anti-air too.
She's good at both close combat and zoning.

Very punishable specials. These must be used carefully.
Overall damage is low.

Mileena=8

That's really mature of you, props.

Mileena is a solid 8 in my mind. She doesn't have mastery over any one aspect of play but she can be so damn versatile when used properly. She can zone pretty well with her instant Air-Sais, she can give zoners problems with her teleport, she can mix in some rushdown with her great low pokes and mix-ups. Her slow combo starters and punishable specials are a downside, but a very small one considering the way her specials are meant to be used and how easily she can mindf--k people into combos when used properly. Low pokes into overhead combo starter into 30% damage. Chip damage on dash-blockers with instant Air-Sais. Zone destruction with a tele-kick. She can't out rushdown Johnny Cage and she can't out zone Sindel but she can change pace so well that it's hard to keep up.

I dunno, I haven't had any trouble with Sindels in Ranked (and I have faced some VERY good ones). On reaction, the punishment for Sindel's fireball is a swift Teleport Kick to the face from above. Aside from Step Up (which from my most recent experiences are beat out by the impressive frame advantage on Ball Roll), her wakeup game is nearly obsolete vs Mileena. Not to mention in terms of combo ability, Sindel has to start High (if she can catch Mileena at all) whereas Mileena can go for 33% either High OR Low, with passable mobility at that. I wouldn't say a good Sindel has much of a chance vs. an equally good Mileena.

The problem being is that after taking a teleport or two it can be baited, blocked, and punished hard. After that the teleport becomes a far riskier endeavor for Mileena, that makes closing on Sindel tougher. This is a lot of speculation as I don't play much of either character. I was using the Sindel example as a means of illustrating what I see as Mileena's "Jack-of-all-Trades" status, not a specific match-up deficiency. Sorry for the confusion lol.
