Story

A mysterious figure, Merkava has a Void's shape but a human's heart.

He can speak and understand human language. His two distinct consciousnesses stand at opposition to one another; the Void wishes to devour humans, while the human tries to suppress such urges. As the Void grows stronger by the day, Merkava searches for its cause. His search leads him to learn of Kuon's efforts to open the pit that will lead him into the Night--efforts that stir the Void within Merkava.

In hopes of attaining inner peace, and to show Kuon who the real Lord of the Void is, Merkava sets out to devour his soul.

“

The one to devour this world... shall be Jormungandr... Me. I won't stop... I... won't... stop...

”

Gameplay

Your main goal as Merkava is to keep your opponent guessing where and when you're going to strike. Merkava's big moves allow him to be minus at ranges where the opponent can't safely challenge him, then take back his turn when the opponent hesitates. Reward from this playstyle is fairly low until Merkava has Vorpal, which means Merkava has the choice of playing for resources or mixing it up by going in and trying hit the opponent with his better starters. In order to get the most out of this character, you will need to alternate between keeping your opponent out and punishing their attempts at taking their turn.

Strengths

Weaknesses

50/50 Mixups: Flight gives Merkava high/low 50/50s, and his 22X moves allow him to set them up somewhat reliably, with 22C in particular being a very strong setplay option to enable his mix. Unorthodox Movement: Merkava has an air backdash, flight, an airdash-like move from flight that takes him just above the ground, and 2[FF] which puts him into flight. On top of his unique movement options, he can also move left/right during the descent after his air fireballs. Good Neutral: Merkava has longer than average Normals and Specials that cover large parts of the screen while still often converting into combos. Moves like 3C and 66C also move his hurtbox quickly. Has a great dashblock, and his standing hurtbox is also very narrow compared to his crouching. Flight hurtboxes can also quickly change when throwing out a move or landing making him hard to pin down.

Offense Without Setup: Without worms on screen to cover openings, Merkava is left with somewhat linear pressure with the worst rebeat table in the game. Limited Defense: All reversals require meter. Standing moves are fairly slow, and 2A is 6f, which can limit options up close. Large Hurtboxes: While it is unusual at times, Merkava is overall larger than average characters, and many of his Normals also extend his hurbox, which can yield the opponent favorable counterhits. Ground Movement: His walk speed is very slow, and his backdash comes with a lot of recovery.

Frame Data Help
Header	Tooltip
Damage	Damage done by this attack. (x) denotes combined damage [x] denotes minimum damage
Guard	The way this move must be blocked. High = Can block standing Low = Can block crouching Mid = Can block standing or crouching Air = Can block in the air Air Shield = Can block in the air while shielding Unblockable = Cannot be blocked
Cancel	Actions this move can be canceled into on hit or block, unless specially noted. N = Normal Cancelable SE = Self Cancelable SP = Special Cancelable EX = EX/IW Cancelable CS = Chain Shift UNQ = Unique (See description) TH = Throw Cancelable J = Jump Cancelable (Hit cancelable only by default) (X) = Hit cancelable only -X- = Can additionally be cancelled during whiff
Property	Special properties this move has. Click on the property to navigate to an explanation.
Cost	The resources this move costs to use. GRD = GRD Blocks EXS = EXS Meter Vorpal = Vorpal GRD Break = Causes GRD Break
Attribute	Attributes of the attack. Mostly used in situations involving invul. There are two sets of attributes: Strike/Throw and Head/Foot/Dive/Projectile Every move has a Strike/Throw attribute, but doesn't always have Head/Foot/Dive/Projectile attribute. --- Strike = Strike (Anything that isn't a Throw is a Strike) Throw = Throw --- Head = Head (Most jump normals) Foot = Foot Dive = Some air specials Projectile = Projectile
Startup	Frame when the first hitbox is present. + denotes the frames before and after super flash.
Active	The amount of frames that this move will have a hitbox. (x) denotes frame gaps where there are no hitboxes is present. Due to varied blockstuns, (x) frames are difficult to use to determine punish windows. Generally the larger the numbers, the more time you have to punish.
Recovery	Frames that this move has after the active frames if not canceled.
Overall	Frames that this move takes from start to finish before the character returns to neutral.
Advantage	The difference in frames where you can act before your opponent when this move is blocked (assuming the move isn't canceled and the first active frame is blocked). If the opponent uses a move with startup equal or less than this move's advantage, it will result in opponent hitting that move. ±x~±x denotes a possible range of advantage. The left value is when the active frames hit sooner (generally worse) and the right value is for when the active frames hit later (generally better).
Invul	The frames where this move cannot be hit by an attribute. Full = Fully invincible Strike = Strike invincible Throw = Throw invincible Head = Head invincible Foot = Foot invincible Dive = Dive invincible Projectile = Projectile invincible

Universal reversal that blows the opponent back on hit.

• Requires at least 100 meter and puts you in Veil Off state which grants 20% more damage, but drains your meter at a slow rate.
• Meter drains much slower when health is below 30% (orange health).
• If your opponent has Vorpal state and is hit with Veil Off outside of a combo, they will lose Vorpal.

Cancels an action and launches the opponent high into the air on hit.

• CVO cancel is treated the same as EX cancel; you can only CVO when you can EX and the opponent is in hit/blockstun.
  • Including in the air.
• Requires at least 100 meter and consumes Vorpal state and drains meter at a fast rate.
• Has a lot of hitstun, making it easy to combo from.
• Allows for an additional bounce in the combo if two have been used so far, without hitting the combo bounce limit.
• Pressing A+B+C can be used for a shortcut for Infinite Worth.
• Used mostly as a way to tack on extra damage, or to reliably close out the round.

Merkava becomes surrounded by a pillar of light which goes into a cinematic on hit.

• Must have less than 30% health (orange health) to use.
• After the cinematic, characters will be moved to the middle of the stage, regardless of where they were positioned before.
• Due to the cost, it is usually not recommended to use this move unless it will kill the opponent.
