Introduction
A fighting child prodigy who was brought up for the national prestige of China. However, because of her musical talent and spritely personality, she is an idol.
Meiling fills the role of the game's rushdown character, swarming the opposition with lengthy attack sequences, long normals, and good frames. Several of her strings and attacks are very delayable or include crushing properties, allowing a crafty Meiling to discourage punishment and keep the pressure on. Despite her small frame, her combos are to be respected, including a challenging jab juggle infinite which can quickly rack up extra damage.
Meiling has an unusually bad matchup with the in-game timer. Her one-off attack damage is low, her Specials are time-consuming strings, and she lacks a conventional Throwdown of any kind, which makes tit-for-tat exchanges and close matches unfavourable for her. She can play solid, but struggles to close out rounds which go long; it's in her best interests to charge in and overwhelm the enemy before she finds her best options slipping away.
