Melty Blood/MBTL/Aoko Aozaki: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 10:12, 14 January 2022

Story

One of only five magicians who exist in the world. Successor to the Fifth Magician. Overall, she is not considered a skilled magician. However, when it comes to "destructive" power, she is unrivaled in her talents. The sight of her raining down bullets like hot geysers has also given her the direct, yet rather tasteless nickname, "Magic Gunner". Who she learned it from is unknown, but she is also familiar with martial arts, and has a battle style that could be considered a hybrid of those martial arts and magic. She encountered Shiki on her travels. She gives him his glasses that suppress his Mystic Eyes, and teaches him the value of living things and how to handle things. For that reason, Shiki respects her and calls her his teacher. She's a difficult person to pin down. She believes in justice, is unreliable, and a vagabond.

Gameplay

Aoko is a versatile zoner character who constrict movement with her setplay orbs alongside far-reaching normal and special attacks.

Returning Melty Blood character available as a free DLC along side Dead Apostle Noel in 13 Jan 2022. Aoko can create difficult situations using her moves that cover vast variety of range and angles. From her long range "finger lasers" to Starmines orbs (that can be moved forward by holding corresponding button down AKA. negative edge) to her 6C rekka series mix-up at close range, Aoko can relentlessly pressure the opponent in various ways when given momentum.

She also comes with double air jumps and air dashes, greatly enhancing her mobility and air/ground mix-up game in exchange for her utter lack of meterless reversal moves. She may struggle on defensive, but only if the opponent can get around her hailstorm of magic to begin with.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Versatile toolkit: that allows her to function well at a variety of ranges and cover various angles of approach. High air mobility: with 2 air jumps and 2 air dashes, enabling chases from jump cancelable normals, specials, and even her air throw. Orbs: bring a great number of benefits when used correctly, acting as okizeme threats, neutral control, and pressure/combo extension all at once. Arc Drive: has great reach and decent startup, making it easy to land at ranges where most might miss.	No meterless reversal: Weakens her defensive options somewhat, forces use of resources when she already is resource reliant

Aoko puts her hand forward and an orb floats out. After its initial startup, it will detonate automatically when an opponent gets too close to it.
Up to 2 orbs from 214A/B are allowed on screen at the same time; repeating the command for an orb you've already set will destroy it and replace it with an orb at your current position.
Any orbs made by 214A will be replaced if you use j.214A. Similarly, any orbs made by 214B will be replaced by j.214B.
Holding the attack button during the initial input will move the orb forward until you stop holding the button.
If Aoko is hit, then any deployed orbs disappear. They also disappear on their own after a period of time or if they are hit by attacks.
One of her main oki tools.

4+4 (4+9)	5	-	31	+14	-

Aoko sets out a large orb that does multiple hits when it detonates. Unlike 214A/B, it will detonate near instantly if the opponent is close enough during startup.
This move is pretty similar to the A and B orbs; C can be held to move it forward, it disappears when Aoko is hit or after it's been deployed for a while, and using 214C or j.214C when a 214C or j.214C orb is already out will delete the old 214C/j.214C orb and replace it with a new one.
However, 214C's orb counts as a separate orb from 214A/B and j.214A/B orbs, so it can be used even if you have one or both of those orbs out already.

Aoko points and sets out an orb that will move to a fixed position and then automatically detonate.
The strength of the button used determines how far away from Aoko the orb appears. A doesn't move and is right at her fingertip, while B travels a bit farther than an unheld 214A/B and C is almost halfscreen at max range.
When any attack button is being held before a 421X orb detonates, the orb's detonation is paused until no attack buttons are being held down. You can, for example, do 421[A], then 421B without holding B, and keep both orbs from detonating as long as you hold A the whole time. You can also switch which button you're holding as long as you don't release all of them in-between switching.
214X/j.214X orbs DO NOT OVERLAP WITH 421X orbs. This means you can set orbs with 214X or j.214X and then set 421X orbs as you see fit.
However, only 2 orbs from 421X are allowed on screen at the same time. If you try to set a third 421X orb, you will get the 214X version of whatever 421X orb you're trying to set.
