AC version differences section taken out as FT is close to AC.
Final Tuned really lowered Miyako's damage potential, but in return
gave her more different options to persue. If you can look past
the damage nerfs, you might like the new Miyako.
f = forward
b = back
d = down
u = up
df = down forward
qcb = quarter-circle back
qcf = quarter-circle forward
hcf = half circle forward
dp = dragon punch motion (f,d,df)
EX = the C version of a special move
MB = Melty Blood
A = light attack
B = medium attack
C = heavy attack
D = shield
Terms:
Chip damage = Damage you take even though you blocked an attack.
float = to knock the opponent into the air
Super armor = the state where you ignore attacks and continue your
own action.
This guide will assume you know basic Melty Blood ReAct gameplay
elements. If there's something you don't know refer to kalciane's
excellent FAQ. I helped with like half of it. =p
Attack info is formatted like so:
(Number of hits, Base Damage, Circuit Gained)
All damage is 100% unscaled damage at default damage level 3.
None of Miyako's normals can be charged.
All of them cannot be airblocked.
Standing A A quick jab, good for stuffing opponents' attacks
and starting your combos. 72% damage scaling
(1, 300, 3%)
Jumping A A downwards palm strike that comes out quickly.
Does more damage than it did in MB but still not
that great. 78% damage scaling.
(1, 300, 3%)
Crouching A A downwards angled punch. Pretty bad range but
necessary against short people like Ren and
Neko-Arc. 78% damage scaling.
(1, 300, 2%)
Standing B Miyako takes a step and does an elbow strike. Comes
out fast but has poor range. 90% damage scaling.
(1, 600, 7%)
Jumping B Miyako does a palm strike to her left and right.
This is the best crossup in the game. Comes out
slightly slower than Jump A.
(1, 700, 7%)
Crouching B An uppercut. Good as a launcher from a sweep. Will
NOT hit Neko-Arc on the ground. It will also not hit
the following crouching characters: Hisui, Arcueid,
Akiha, Aka Akiha, Mech Hisui, Ren and herself.
75% damage scaling.
(1, 700, 10%)
Standing C Miyako takes a step forward and does a shoulder check.
Has a large hit box but takes a second to come out.
Does chip damage. Will wallslam if it hits an
airborne opponent. As of v2.008 this move can only
be canceled into a special move. 80% damage
scaling.
(1, 1000, 10%)
Jumping C A double palm strike steeply angled downwards.
Compared to her other air attacks, this is slow to
come out. 90% scaled proration.
(1, 1000, 10%)
Crouching C A standard sweep, not very good range as Miyako's
short. Has significant recover time if it whiffs or
isn't cancelled into something. 60% damage scaling.
(1, 1000, 10%)
f + B Miyako dashes forward a fixed distance and does a
stand B. She moves a shorter distance than in MB
and this will now combo. Vital to keep Miyako up
close for combos. Does chip damage.
75% damage scaling.
(1, 550, 5.5%)
f + C Miyako's launcher. Useless by itself because of its
slow speed, use it after f + B in combos. Does chip
damage.
70% scaled proration.
(1, 1000, 10%)
f + C Miyako's throw. Much different from MB, now she
pushes the enemy forward a step leaving them open
just long enough to start a combo with stand C or
crouch C. This throw also will NOT KO. 65% damage
scaling. (1, 500)
f + C (in air) Miyako's air throw. She does leap frog on the
opponent and they drop straight down. She can no
longer throw people standing on the ground. The
enemy can ground tech from this throw. (1, 1300)
Shield Bunker qcb + D.
Miyako will do a very slow f+C. As if it wasn't
already slow enough. You cannot combo after this.
(1, 1200, 10%)
Last Arc Shield while standing in Blood Heat mode.
Miyako will hop then do a Doukan. She will randomly
reverse the opponents controls, indicated by the
neko-arcs spinning around their head.
This move criticals quite often.
(1, 2800/4000)
All moves were named after what I thought it sounded like Miyako
said while doing them.
Choshichu qcf + A/B, f + A/B
Miyako will rush forward with an elbow strike. A
version travels a short distance and will combo from
a f + B, stand B, stand C, and d + C. B version has
a bit of startup but travels a longer distance. If
close enough Miyako will go through the opponent and
hit from behind instead. The B follow up is a
short, fast version of Miyako's backdash and will go
through the opponent if close enough.
(A version 1st hit: 0700, 8% 2nd hit: 600, 5%)
(B version 1st hit: 1200, 9%)
Doukan qcb + A/B
Miyako will take a step forward and throw out a
punch. This will float and will wallslam if it
hits an airborne opponent. A version will combo from
a d + B, f + B, stand C, and sometimes a d + C. B
version will not combo but goes further and has a lot
of super armor. Will whiff against Neko-Arc, and
crouching Ren and Miayko. Not super cancelable.
70% damage scaling.
(A version 1, 0800, 10%)
(B version 1, 1000, 10%)
Renkantai dp + A/B (can be done in midair)
Miyako hops up and does two kicks. A version is a
high vertical hop and does two hits. B ground
version has her dash forward and hit three times.
The A version is super cancelable on the 2nd hit.
Will combo from anything. The move is no longer
unblockable in the air.
(A version air 2, 1200, 12% ground 2, 1300, 13%)
(B version air 2, 1500, 15% ground 3, 1900, 20%)
Stomp d,d A/B
Miyako does a stomp which knocks down the enemy. A
version hits about a little under a quarter of the
screen and will combo from a d + B, f + B, stand C,
and a d + C. B version won't combo at all but hits
a little over a quarter of the screen away and will
launch the enemy for an air combo if they don't
block it low. Not super cancelable. B Version has
70% damage scaling.
(A version 1, 800, 8%)
(B version 1, 700, 7%)
----------EX and Super Moves-----------------------------------------
Choshichu qcf + C
Miyako will dash about 80% of the screen and hit the
opponent with an elbow that will wallslam. Will
combo from a d + B, and stand C. Like the B version,
it will cross up if Miyako is close enough. Has a bit
of recovery time. This doesn't seem to be blockable in
midair. As of v2.008, after this hits the opponent
will fall to the ground invincible, so no follow ups.
90% damage scaling.
(1, 1800)
Doukan qcb + C
A bit less reach than the B version but faster start up
and more super armor. It will always wallslam. Will
combo from a d + B, stand C. 65% damage scaling.
(1, 2200)
Renkantai dp + C (can be done in air)
Moves forward as much as the B version without the dash.
Knocks the opponent up high and they can recover almost
instantly. Air version will wallslam. 3rd hit of the
ground version has 50% damage scaling. 1st hit of
ground version gives you 2.1% circuit. 2nd hit of the
air version has 70% damage scaling.
Ground version (3 hits) does 2200. 600 + 600 + 1000.
Air version (2 hits) does 2500. 1000 + 1500
EX Stomp d,d + C
Even more startup than the B version but will launch
the enemy if they are anywhere on the ground.
80% damage scaling.
(1, 1800)
Aura Burst hcf + C (in heat mode)
Miyako does an even bigger stomp than the EX version
and is surrounded with an aura. Has been toned down
from Melty Blood. It has more startup, less range,
less damage, and more recovery time. This is
unblockable in the air.
(1, 3800)
Aura Burst hcf + C (in blood heat mode)
Has a different colored aura, comes out faster, does
more damage, and has more range than the heat super.
This is also unblockable in the air. Comboable from
a d + B, f + B, stand C, and both hits of the normal
Choshichu. If you get a chance to use it for anti-air
go for it. Otherwise don't go out of your way to try
using it. (1, 4800)
A Version: It's comboable but it's also fast enough to be a random
poke. Now that it gained a shield frame in Final Tuned, it's a bit
safer. But it only seems to be good for one hit, so if they're
mashing A's or it's a multihit move it won't matter. To compensate
for this improvement though, they gave this move a 70% scale.
B Version: It isn't completely protected by super armor but there's
only a small window for her to be hit out of, not too likely to
happen unless they're mashing A's. Use it to regain the offensive
but be careful not to absorb too much damage using this. Mix it up
with A version to get them a bit confused if they should block or poke.
EX Version: It has invincibility and super armor, you AREN'T getting
hit out of this move no matter how badly you use it. As of v2.008 it
has 65% damage scaling which is almost as strict as most trips in the
game. But as it does so much damage, it's usually worth it anyway.
Choshichu qcf + A/B/C
A Version: The combo friendly version. With the increased pushback,
the new B followup, and the worsening of her other options this move
is looking all that much better. Damage is decent and is easily super
cancelable into EX of choice. You can now do either follow up
regardless of whether you connect with the first hit or not.
B Version: Not combo friendly, slow start up, and still not the best
damage. It got a slight speed and range boost in FT but is still
susceptible to getting jabbed. The B follow up now makes a nice if
unsafe mixup but it's fast enough to catch turtling people unaware.
EX Version: This move was only really useful in combos before
but now that it cannot be followed up by anything, it's that much
more useless. It does have a little more speed but still lacks
enough invincibility to go through attacks.
Stomp d,d + A/B/C
A Version: Comboable and decent range! This move downs
the opponent for a second, so you can use the time to set up
a cross up or simply hit them OTG. This move now causes enough
block stun that if the opponent tries to stick out anything but the
fastest/invincible attack they'll be counter hit. It also has enough
range that you can try to use it to punish people who ground tech.
B Version: Has some start up, but more range and floats the opponent
for an air combo. Can be tricky if the other person doesn't know
this needs to be blocked low. But generally unusable because of
lack of speed.
EX Version: A bit more start up time but will hit any grounded,
opponent and still floats for an air combo. Don't use this move, you
have better uses for the circuit. You do have full body invincibility
for the duration of the move though.
Renkantai dp + A/B/C
A Version: Fast and decent damage. The ground version is now
UNAIRBLOCKABLE. Abuse the hell out of this property but beware of
shields. She hops veritcally but not horizontally. The only super
cancelable version now.
B Version: Don't ever, ever use the ground version. Not even as a
joke. Air version is still all right damage, but isn't super
cancelable anymore.
EX Version: This move has insane horizontal range but terrible
vertical range. The ground version of this is also unairblockable
and is cancelable into anything on the third hit as well. Definitely
worth using now.
Aura Burst hcf + C
Heat Version: This super ends heat mode and leaves you with 100%
circuit. The move doesn't have much range and is very hard to combo
into. It has some start up time and lots of recovery. So be careful
using it.
Blood Heat Version: This is just like the Heat version but faster,
with more range and damage. This has less start up time but just as
much recovery. Comboable from a d + B, f + B, and Stand C.
Because of the combability and the faster start up time and range,
I recommend trying to use it to hit the opponent out of the air.
If these don't work just email me and I'll reupload them. I'll try to
post vids wherever I see them but for now I've only seen Miyako on
acho vids. Use these to see some good Miyako habits but keep in mind
the differences between v2.009a Miyako and MBAC Miyako.
