Story

A mysterious creature that is a cat, yet also is not. She looks a bit similar to Arcueid, but no one knows if she has any connection to the real Arcueid.

She sometimes appears in the mortal world as a sort of personal pastime. She doesn't get along with Miyako's spirit realm, claiming she views it with rivalry, and vanished with the unsettling words "The Cat Strikes Back!"

But none of that has any bearing on the current situation. Now, she has appeared on the fighting stage again in an invasion of the Melty Blood universe, accompanied by powerful characters from parallel worlds, drawn inevitably by her destiny.

A playful cat that abides by no rules, regardless of what anyone has to say about it. Souya's destiny, and that of the entire Melty Blood universe...

Gameplay

Neco-Arc is a returning character to Melty Blood, released as free DLC alongside Mash Kyrielight on August 19, 2022. She is a small gimmicky zoner character with summon-based setplay and unconventional movement, such as an extended air dash, her air rocket and side-swap tunneling special moves. This allows her to run a highly confusing gameplan for those who aren't used to her size, movement style, and speed, overwhelming the opponent once she's gotten her gameplan up and running.

She has two major flaws to work around: she has the lowest health in the game, meaning that characters with high damage output or good conversions can and will punish her mistakes very harshly if they can catch her. As a secondary effect of her small size, her normals are also incredibly short-ranged, forcing her to rely on other tools for controlling space.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Has an unusual far air-dash that lets her continue to float for a really long time if the input is held. Unconventional movement with her air rocket special attack; it lets Neco-Arc moves both vertically and horizontally, in and out of the opponent's reach. While her ambiguous tunneling moves let her zip out of harms way and confuses the opponent. Small size makes it hard to hit her with certain buttons, especially in tandem with her ability to adjust her movement patterns.

Has well-below average health; with only 10,000 HP, even the smallest mistakes will cost Neco-Arc dearly if she gets hit. Stubby normals make it hard for Neco to poke or counterpoke, requiring some extra thought and caution for using them in her gameplan.
