Mileena - 9

Overall i think she is pretty flawless. Excellent combos, mix up, teleport is amazing, mobility, some moves you can actually weezle out of being punishable too. The only thing is i think that her moves alone don't do quite the damage they need and a few of her moves are very punishable and put you into ruts that make you predicatble. I have fought mileenas that are near impossible to beat though if they fight smart and punish you with a big 36 damage combo whenever you mess up and sometimes when you dont!
 
Mileena along with Jade are some of the quickest meter burners ever. mileena has really good mix ups. but almost all of her specials when blocked are pretty harshly punished. So alot of her mix ups require more conditioning than most other players because all of her real damage comes from overheads(thankfully she has some annoying low hits to help this out). but unlike Jade mileena doesn't have range/ways to play it 100% safe using range/armor frames. She's just fast.

I'd give mileena a 7.5

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.

No problem lol, sorry I was just detailing that Mileena is nowhere near at the disadvantage people paint her to be. And for the fireball punishment, I said "on reaction" because that's how Teleport should be used. But I guess that's just how I've trained myself. XD

Yeah, I've not noticed her having a ton of bad match-ups, just some slightly less-favorable. She's stronger than she gets credit for because she has to be played smartly and a lot of online players don't do "smart" well lol.
 
Mileena - 6. Sorry Mileena fans. The problem with Mileena, while pretty fast and good mix-ups, is that her specials are very punishable and she's got a lot of bad match-ups. Not saying she's a bad character though. And people say she's unpredictable? Really??? Ok, her enhanced teleport is very good indeed, however, it's still extremely punishable. As long as block carefully, Mileena is no concern for you. The good thing Mileena has is her low combos but even those are old-news in case someone is prepared for them. Not even her combo-damage potential is that good. Man, I could talk for hours for why I consider Mileena a 6. I have to say, I am extremely surprised by some high votes from you guys. 7 or 8 are okay, over 8 is a bit too much for me. Just an opinion of course.

So far, I have to say I agree with the ranking, but I'd probably switch Noob Saibot under Scorpion, simply because I feel Noob Saibot is way more limited than Scorpion, as much as I dispise Scorpion as a character, his abilities allow him to do more and be more dangerous than Noob Saibot who is by preference a zoner... MOSTLY.

To me, yes, Mileena is a low-tier, but even low-tiers can scare shit out of the op characters, so...

My votes so far:
Cyber Sub-Zero: 9
Jade: 9
Kratos: 5
Liu Kang: 7
Mileena: 6
Sonya: 6
Noob Saibot: 6
Scorpion: 7

I have a lot of 8-9-10 to give, but those characters haven't showed up yet.
Waiting for Sub-Zero, Nightwolf and Shang Tsung...

Mileena 9.2

Ok, she is my main and that´s the reason I gave her this "calification", but to me she is a 9 at least.
Excellent specials, her normal moves are very safe (except f3, 1+2, cause is extremely unsafe) and her low game is oustanding. Her mix-up game is insane, and her combos relatively easy to do and deliver a good 28-35%. She has a lot of poke tools and mind games, her game is unpredictable. Hence, she may be a "defensive"character, but at the same time she could be an insane pressure character thanks to her juggles, mixups and mind tricks. Besides, the instant air sai is one of the most ****ing fast projectiles in the game (under Kano and Skarlett, IMO) and allow you to make a 25% combo! Splits and b1,4 are my best friends :)

Cons: her specials are extremely punishable, at least 2 of them. But a lot of characters have the same issue too... so, isn´t a big deal if people use MODERATELY her roll and her telekick. Her damage is average IMO, but +30% meterless, to me, is more than fine. Her uppercurt is too slow, maybe one of the slowest in the game. Her sweep could be a little slow (but Mileena has d+4, WHO CARES!). Her enhanced specials hasn´t any armor property (In think her roll and/or teleport need armor!)

Anyway, if any future patch make her roll ball hits low, Mileena would be a ****ing S tier character and the people suddenly will gonna discover her dazzling gameplay. Meanwhile she is just an excellent A tier character, and an underrated character on the forums

13, I agree so much with you!

I prefer Albafica though :P

I don't think Kratos had many votes did he? I think we should count the average and note the numbers of votes each character had, just a suggestion.
 
I love how when it comes to Mileena, almost everyone falls into two extremes with her. Half the people give her 6's and 7's, while the other half gives her 8's and 9's.

Does she have a low game? She and Ermac are one of the few without it. Or with a mediocre one.

Yes, she does. Her Getaway Sticks have an incredibly long reach, and are great poking tools. And considering that her Back+3(which hits low) can combo into a Ball Roll, that makes her especially dangerous. That's why her mixups are deadly. If you block wrong, expect to eat an over 25% combo.

Well yeah, lol. 6-9 generally covers all the reasonable ratings. 10's are insanely rare, if not impossible and 5's are for characters that are wildly mediocre. Most every character that has been rated (maybe all of them, but I'm not willing to check through the whole thread haha) receive a majority of ratings between 6 and 9. I definitely see a dichotomy in the way Mileena is viewed, your explanation of it just seemed off to me lol. Sorry if I'm being a stickler for semantics, it just caught my attention.
 
You could block Mileena's overhead launcher on reaction. You CAN'T block Mileena's Gateway Sticks and D4s on reaction and she'll be doing those alllllll day. In general her low game is probably the best in the entire game because it's safe, pressuring, and goes into big damage. Mileena's D4 is by far the best low poke in the entire game, the amount of advantage it gives on hit is just flat out ridiculous and it's range is the longest in the game tied with Sonya's.

No other character at a high level generates that much fear to block low from mid distance. Liu Kang also has a really safe low string launcher but his is only dangerous at 0 range. I'd say they're both the devastating "must block low" characters for the most part.
 
Mileena - solid 8

She is my main, pretty underrated and underused online.

Positive points :
- Quick character
- Good starters for BnB combos, easy to connect
- Good overhead options

Negative points :
- Doesn't do a lot of damage while fighting standing, and , her combos that probably do the most damage, are hard to do sometimes, requiring an insane good button timing command, specially, her air combos.
- Her default listed combos are few, and not impressive if compared with other fighters. For example, Kitana has a set of default combos way better than Mileena.
 
You can use Mileena Teleport Drop against heavy zoners, ONLY IF , while you are blocking the projectiles coming from your opponent, you are 100% sure he/she will throw another one, and so, you do the Teleport in the split second you blocked the previous projectile, and this way, any opponent will eat that teleport in his/her face ..... otherwise, if you start to spam the Teleport, you are dead, cause the surprise factor is gone and your opponent will block you expecting for the Teleport, purposely.
 
Ratings for Mileena are CLOSED! Thank you all for your votes! Her community average will be up shortly.

The next character to be rated is the compassionate mustard cyber ninja, Cyrax!
