Happy happy joy joy. MIT FINALLY got MK2 yesterday, and it's most excellent. I've dropped more than my share of tokens into the machine (say $10 or so), and I can use Baraka, SubZ, Scorp, Liu Kang, Raiden, and Shang Tsung very well up through Kitana, but Maleena whips my butt within 15-30 seconds every single time I face her. Any advice? -Brett PS Whoever posted that Shang Tsung is awesome - right on, dude!

Any advice? I have a pattern that works... it helps if you are somewhat good though, so you can improvise if things get hairy (they can, but rarely do)... Take Liu Kang and charge the gobbler. Back way off.. wayyy off. When she is approaching, time a jump up->come down with lowpunch on her head, and then flying kick. She rarely blocks the one, and if she does, she does NOT block the other. That's why you want the gobbler charged in the first place.. you can use that if Mileena blocks both. Which has happened a total of once, that I have seen... use smart timing like you did back in MK1 with jumpkicks/punches... it works... The gobbler comes in because often you have to back up to the very edge of the screen. This is a VERY SAFE way to beat Mileena.. it's the only way I know I will be guaranteed to win the fight.. hehe.. if you're in the corner, be juping backwards and lowkicking... then gobbler or flying kick. For variety, when you do the jump punching as before, do the gobbler when you come down. Liu Kang's fireballs are useless vs. Mileena so forget them. For now. :) In a way, this is playing Samurai Shodown style... that's how I thought to use this tactic.. shit it worked against Wanfu and Nakoruru, might as well try it here!! - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - Mike/garion@indirect.com/Snow Dog of Prismatic Force Designs/sydest.com ### # # ### # "Through nature's inflexible grace, I'm learning to live..." # # # # # - Dream Theater # # # ### ### "Art as expression, not as market campaigns..." # # # # # # - Rush # ### ### # # "Censorship is fucking unAmerican." - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + -
