Well yeah... all the Grapplers can sort of Compete with Phase 4 for damage. Lisa being the most consistent. Mila being the most Contextual, Tina messing Up Lighter Characters... Bayman stun launching like a Champ.... Leon Fucking Everybody's sh!t up and Bass being a Better version of Tina.
She is.... and She's a Striker too. What I like about Mila and Rachel is they are not Half Grapplers and Half Strikers..... they are full on Grapplers and Full on Strikers. Mila can be played Either way.... playing her Grappler Style is what leads to the most damage especially if you can score some Hi Counter 2T's.
LoL.... see.... The Damage comes from Grabbing. Except ofcourse if you plan using Dangerzones.... then Strikes do that better than throws. She can't throw people into Dangerzones.
LoL.... yeah it can wear you thin. But its not impossible sustaining a large arsenal of Viable Characters. You just gotta give each one the love and attention they deserve.
