I'm a MK noob but I started using Mileena because of EVO. I am stomping all of my friends now.
Jade is my main but I think I'm already beatter with Mileena.

Um, no I don't troll.
Both on and offline she doesn't have much of a low game but she causes big chip damage from blocked combos due to frame advantages. That and the double sweep mixup make her very dangerous to be near and hard to get away from. Should you try to get away you might eat U+4 (splits) or ball roll which leads to easy 30+%. In most matchups, you have to fight her off and one mistake and you're eating big combos and major pressure. I think most of us can agree on that unless you have an ace up your sleeve.
Mileena on offense offline, is much harder to read which makes her extremely dangerous.
Online, with lag, it's not so easy to perfectly place an air sai 100% of the time. A couple mistimed throws and an opponent can close in. With full speed you can also add this sai keepaway technique to her repertoire.
Maybe you're better than me, but Mileena has always been much more of a threat offline than she is online (and either way a good one keeps me guessing) unless I'm using my counter character which is still not an easy match either.
Offline she's an unbearable guessing game to me. Online, I fare quite a bit better.

Slight input delay doesn't matter, massive input delay, the game going in slow motion, and dropped inputs do matter.corkscrewblow said:
UMK9, please be announced and save me from the current netcode
.I don't know, I just haven't played anyone (online or offline) who can win matches against my Mileena except Xevren and a friend who plays Kung Lao. Everyone gets shitted on by the mixup game, so I don't even bother zoning. B3/U4 shenanigans get people so bad.junkster said:

lol who? I don't think Kitana has any horrible matches. A few 4-6's like Raiden, Reptile, Kano. She's ridiculous.
maybe you mean Skarlet?
Yeah that's what I see a lot of.Slamtastic said:Slight input delay doesn't matter, massive input delay, the game going in slow motion, and dropped inputs do matter.

Corkscrewblow I dunno if I played your Mileena but I'd be willing to test it out.

What is this PMing business? Just post what you've got so others can read it.
Well, still not final. If anything, they'll move it to mid-late Septemeber to avoid direct competition with Third Strike. They always said "end of summer" and the plan was always to release after the Xbox-Summer of Arcade ended, so it fits. Capcom did the same for Third Strike, only that they announced a final date recently; while WB hasn't done so for Kollection yet.
Gamestop still has the tentative date of the Klassic sticks (with the code to download Kollection) as August 31; so guess we'll know for sure..soon.

Now to wait for his moves...and to see his babality. XDNew Playable Kharacter: Freddy Krueger

Price: $4.99 (PSN) / 400 Microsoft Points (XLM)

Freddy Krueger: Prince of Fear
A malevolent spirit of the Dream Realm, Freddy Krueger preys on the souls of the living as they sleep. When Shao Kahn began to steal Earthrealm's souls - souls Freddy considered his own - Freddy battled the emperor in the Dream Realm. But Shao Kahn's will was too strong. He pulled Freddy into the real world, where he was mortal, and defeated him.
A badly injured yet determined Freddy fitted both his hands with demonically enhanced razor gloves. Once he has killed Shao Kahn he will find a way back to the Dream Realm, where he will torment Earthrealm's souls for eternity.

Will there be a seperate thread for the Arcade Kollection? I think I'll get it on both consoles.

Pretty stoked about Retro Cyber Sub. Not stoked for Freddy.
Still holding out hope for a full-blown Cyber Smoke though. Naysayers be damned.

I'm not sure as a separate character but maybe as a costume. If they want to sell the next Klassic Skins pack(s), why give away the best ones? (MK2 Scorpion/Sub-Zero/Reptile, MK2 Mileena, UMK3 Scorpion/Sub-Zero/Reptile/Rain/Smoke/Noob/Ermac, MK3 Robo Smoke).Khezu said:

Nice costume announcements! For those wanting Cyber Smoke, wouldn't he have to be a new character?

I would like to see the connection strength indicators work on PS3, that way I could test if 4 bar connections are the mythical "good as SSFIV" that I see people claiming.Unicorn said:
EDIT: very awesome combo video
Finally after so much practice I finally pulled off Kung Lao's bnb combo.
The tricky part is connecting the final 2, 4, throw, 2. But I realized that the guy has to be practically touching the ground after the enhanced hat to get the right distance. It took for ever to get the timing of the dash 1 to connect. But figured that out too. I feel like perfect legend now.

Remember that Human Sektor/Cyrax are just costumes for their robot forms. They could do something similar with Smoke.Shadowlink said:

I think people want Cyber Smoke because they want something similar to his MK3 move set. I could be wrong, but they probably would have released his cyber costume if he were like Cyrax or Sektor.infinityBCRT said:
My friend hasn't played a fighting game in like 20 years and he destroys me in this game. I just can't understand how this happens. I consider selling it because I bought it to play with him and he destroys me in every fight. It's just not fun...
I don't have such problem with computer opponents.
