Eternal Fighter Zero/Mizuka Nagamori

Nagamori Mizuka

Introduction

With her strong normals, good reversals, great damage and overwhelming lockdown, Nagamori Mizuka (長森 瑞佳), often called Cello, is widely considered to be the single best character in the game, outside of the banned boss Kanna. Her unique ability to set notes and have them explode when hit with her cello bow gives her great space control and allows for some extremely strong setups when paired with her fast and hard to see overhead. Her signature corner fortissimo lockdown gives her safe, airtight corner pressure which builds a huge amount of meter and can reset into itself on hit. Besides her note setups, she also sports fantastic normals (especially when compared to other setup characters), fast wakeup and walk speeds as well as multiple reversal options, all of which make her a very well rounded character who lacks any major weaknesses.

Mizuka is the main heroine of ONE, a visual novel produced by Tactics in 1998. Mizuka is Kouhei's neighbour and childhood friend, and is in the same grade in school. She always worries about Kouhei, acting very maternal-like towards him. Mizuka goes to wake him up every morning, but Kouhei either does not get up or plays some mean tricks to her, causing them to be late for school all the time. During ONE, a pretend confession that Mizuka takes seriously ends up changing things between them forever. When he discovers inconsistencies in his memories, he struggles to find the truth between him and Mizuka...

Mizuka was part of EFZ's original cast.

Character-Specific Notes

• Mizuka has the fastest wakeup speed in the game.
• Mizuka has the second fastest walk speed in the game, only second to Kaori.
• Several of Mizuka's moves create notes on the playing field. These notes can be detonated by various other moves in order to deal damage and provide frame advantage. Notes will disappear when detonated or after enough time has passed.
• While Mizuka's bow is in the air during her 236*, she loses access to all of her special and super moves except for 236236*, her Final Memory, and her new bowless 236* in addition to having her 2C be replaced with a much worse move.

Frame Data Help
The notation for the move lists can be found under Controls.
Cells filled with a "-" indicate a placeholder. Cells filled by a "/" indicate a non-applicable field.
Values separated by a "~" (X~Y) indicate a range or variance. A "~" preceding a single value (~X) may indicate approximation. A "-" separating frame values of a property (X-Y) indicate the duration of the property.
Cell data accompanied by a ※ indicate properties unusual to the template. Explanations for such properties can be found at another ※ in the description. If a move requires multiple ※'s, subscripts will be attached to indicate relation (※1, ※2, ※3...).
Frame data with decimal values .33 or .66 relate to subframes.

Bookbag Decapitation 脳天かばん割り 6B	Damage Guard Startup ¹ ² Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Cancel 450 High 19 2 18 -3 -5 IC Mizuka slowly raises her bookbag, and swings it downward. When used alongside 214214A this gives Mizuka access to very powerful high/lows. The startup of the animation is very subtle making this move seem quicker than it actually is. This move needs either IC or a note activation to combo from.

2C with bow

Damage Guard Startup ¹ ² Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Cancel 100 x 6 Any 6 22 13 / -14 ~ +4 SP IC Mizuka plays her cello, causing a barrier of music to circle around her. Knocks down on hit, and will cause any nearby notes to detonate on frame 6.33. A top class sweep, being the fastest in the game (some characters have 6 frame A normals) and instantly has its maximum reach (unlike sliding sweeps) with frame advantage good enough to let her safely set up a note on block. Additionally, it hits behind Mizuka (and detonates notes behind her), is difficult to RG due to its multiple hits and the potential for note explosions, and is among the best armor breakers in the game. Despite all of its strengths, this 2C doesn't actually hit low, nor is it air-unblockable.

NB_2C

2C without bow	Damage Guard Startup ¹ ² Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Cancel 600 Any 8 16 27 / -20 SP IC Mizuka faceplants. Really bad, don't use. Launches.

662C

662C	Damage Guard Startup ¹ ² Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Cancel 600 Any 7 16 31 / -35 SP IC Mizuka leaps toward the opponent hands first, body fully extended and off the ground. This move will wallbounce a midair opponent if it hits.

Jumping

j5A

j5A	Damage Guard Startup ¹ ² Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Cancel 200 High 6 24 4 / / N SP J AD IC R Mizuka does a weak kneeing motion in the air. The hitbox persists for a very long time if it does not hit, making it Mizuka's go-to tech trap normal.

Grabs

Ground Grab

Ground Grab Close 6C/4C

Damage Guard Startup ¹ ² Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Cancel 0 + 1100 Grab 5.33 0.66 18 / / None Mizuka pins the opponent and whacks them with her pillow. This grab has "negative corner carry", moving both characters backwards. Unlike most grabs, this does not have any invincibility, meaning it will lose to other grabs and will trade with strike moves. The grounded portion of Mizuka's recovery on-hit is vulnerable. When throwing Akiko, Ikumi, Kaori or Mai, Mizuka swaps sides to whack them before hopping back over. This causes her to end up much closer after recovery allowing her to set up crossup note okizeme.

Special Moves

Specials

236*

Slow & Keying スロゥ&キーイング 236* A/C A/C B B

Mizuka throws her bow as a returning projectile. While it is in the air, Mizuka is "bowless" and cannot use most of her special moves. Her 2C is also replaced with her Bowless 2C. Version Damage Guard Property Startup ¹ ² Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Cancel A / / / 10.33 / 36.66 / / FIC A Bow 600 Any / 10.33 31 / -2 -4 / Throws the bow straight forward. After reaching its maximum distance (assuming Pitch and Bend is not used), the bow becomes harmless and automatically homes in to Mizuka. Any notes the bow touches will detonate one subframe after making contact, even if the bow is no longer active. This move is useful projectile. It comes out extremely fast, crosses almost the entire screen, and can detonate far-off notes easily. It can also break Mizuka out of a combo by detonating a forte note on its way back. B / / / 8.33 / 30.66 / / FIC B Bow 600 Any / 8.33 22 / +3 +1 / Throws the bow up and about a quarter screen away. The active frames last for all of its forward movement. Any notes the bow touches will detonate one subframe after making contact, even if the bow is no longer active. The anti-air version. Even faster than the A version, but generally less useful. Still useful for hitting high-up notes and attacking jumping opponents. However, if the bow is Recoil Guarded, the opponent will most likely still be on the offensive, unlike the A version where you at least stop their dash. C / / I: 1-16 10.33 / 32.66 / / FIC C Bow 600 Any / 10.33 44 / +1.33 -1.33 / Similar to the A version, but will start creating notes while returning to Mizuka, up to a maximum of 5 notes. The first note is created on the first frame after active ends and subsequent notes will be created on a 30 frame interval. This move is quite useful, letting you fill up the screen with notes while going on the offensive. A real reversal and safe on block! However, it is slow and the hitbox is small. This version will not detonate notes.

214*

Tone & Setup トーン&セットアップ (j)214*/j236* Note Explosion Note Explosion

Mizuka plays her cello, creating a note on the screen. Any notes that touch a detonating note's explosion will also detonate. Can be done on the ground and in the air. When in the air, this move can additionally be done with j236*, which sustains Mizuka's momentum, whereas j214* will make her fly backwards. This move costs roughly 1/20th of a meter, with full meter allowing 59 notes. This also applies to the C version, which does not need RF gauge to be used. Version Damage Guard Startup ¹ ² Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Cancel A/B/C / / 7.33 / 16.66 / / None A version creates a note right in front of Mizuka, B will send a note forwards about half screen, and C will send a note the same distance at a 45 degree angle upwards. jA/B/C / / 0.33 / Until landing / / None C version sends the note downwards at a 45 degree angle instead of upwards.

The A version will detonate any notes that her body or bow touches. The B and C versions will detonate any notes that only her body touches, and will create a new note where the bow is at the end of the move. A and B versions are IC-able even without attacking the opponent.

Mizuka raises two conductor's batons and swings them down, producing a shockwave of energy that hits the opponent and detonates all notes on stage without destroying them. Hitbox slowly expands during the active period; the hitboxes pictured are the maximums for each version. Notes are detonated on frame 11 for all versions, technically during startup.

Final Memory

Eternal Poem 永遠の詩 6 B A 6 A

Damage Guard Startup ¹ ² Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Cancel 0 Unblockable 140 / / / / None Mizuka clutches her chest, keels over and screams as the screen fades to white. No matter where the opponent is on screen, they will be frozen in place and stunned, leaving Mizuka with 400 frames to lay a beating. Once that time is up, the opponent is forcibly thrown backwards into a knockdown. During startup, the screen suffers a white flash effect. Right as this flash occurs (frame 65.66), all notes will detonate without disappearing. Slowest move in the game, almost no setups for this and even those have debatable worth. This move penetrates iframes!

Strategy

Normals

Mizuka has access to some gigantic normals that allow her to dominate neutral. jC and 66C are very fast, guard aerial space beautifully and have enough reward to end the game with Mizuka's killer vortex. Opponents should be very afraid of getting hit in the air by Mizuka. 66B has incredible reach on the ground and be converted off of with 623B (or 236A if the opponent is near a note). 2C is great for checking mashing or dashing and is only -2 (with pushback) when cancelled into 214B on block, not to mention it's probably the best armor breaker in the game. 2C also detonates notes, making it even more difficult to contest. One thing to consider when detonating notes with 2C though is that it can whiff if the note is too high in its bouncing animation while it is active, so be careful.

Notes

j236* is much preferred over j214* most of the time. Be careful to not input j41236* as even though Mizuka doesn't have one it will override j236* and cause her to throw out a normal.

Mizuka typically does not need to move her bow much during 236*, in fact she prefers to get it back as soon as possible as being bowless is a serious impairment (in addition to the time she spends vulnerable while commanding it around).

If Mizuka has a convenient note placed, she can use it to reset pressure at any time.

Resource Management

Mizuka's forte (214214A) is her stand out super, and it doesn't help that most of her other supers are not great, even in a vacuum. Since it only costs 1 SP, Mizuka can easily build it back up after using it to open up the opponent and replace it every knockdown.

Mizuka cares very little about BIC combos so use RF however you want.

Defense

Mizuka has the privilege of possessing the fastest wakeup speed in a game where oki is extremely powerful. She also has a wide variety of reversals, although she will end up just using her fast 623* or safe on block 412C most of the time.

214A/B (66*) 623A/412A(whiff) Left/Right

Can whiff a dash normal after 214B to get into position and build a tiny bit of meter. Side can change from position but also timing. Leads to proper conversions on hit and plus on block. Since they are blocking the note and not your special, the opponent will face the side you were on when placing the note on RG, meaning many reversals can whiff against a crossup. Very powerful mixup.

214B 236B 66 Left/Right/High/Low/Throw

Requires a character with a slow wakeup. Mizuka needs to position herself to get the note to detonate. Although she is bowless, she can threaten a wide variety of options which all have great insurance from the note explosion. Mizuka can meaty with a high 6B or low 2A/5A, and thanks to the note she doesn't need IC to combo from said 6B. Mizuka also has the choice to not meaty as well, allowing her throw to become very difficult to avoid, though it has poor damage and oki. A basic but also non-meaty Left/Right is available by dash jumping and threatening an air backdash as well.

Corner

Combos ending in 236236* leave a gap in the corner against some characters as Player 1, which can make Left/Right setups work in the corner, albeit in a gimmicky manner. Mizuka's ground throw also leaves a gap but it is much larger and does not provide time to set up a note.

214214A 236A ... High/Low/Throw

Forte okizeme is one of the scariest situations in the game to defend against. Mizuka is free to get very creative in her ensuing pressure as the forte should do a good job of dissuading the opponent's reversal, but this is not to say there are not good opportunities for the opponents to RG such as when the bow is not out, or when you have rethrown it and don't have IC. Can threaten throw when the bow is returning.

214214A 214214A 2C(blocked) 214214A

"Triple Forte". If set up correctly the fortes will sustain an infinite blockstring as they continuously detonate each other. Since it costs 3 bars and the constant explosions make doing proper combos pretty impossible this setup is mostly just BM. While wasteful it is still effective for closing out a round however, as the opponent's best response is usually to get hit on purpose and hope their wakeup burns significant time off of the fortes if they don't get knocked out of the corner. Trying to block will result in one's guard gauge maxing out very quickly and as if blocking 6B wasn't hard enough Mizuka will constantly be shrouded in explosion effects. Don't try this, but do be aware of it.
