Overview

Playstyle

C-Miyako is a rushdown character, with strong air buttons, and really good and tricky pressure despite her short range.
Pros	Cons
Offense: She's fast, with very good pressure and a lot of ways to open people up and an easy way to reset it in 22A. Comboable Throw: Successfully grabbing your opponent allows you to get a combo anywhere on the screen, granting more reward compared to other throws in the game. Air Game: Her j.B and j.C are very active and disjointed buttons for air to air and jump in situations, and your opponents have a difficult time challenging them. Option Selecting: 2B and 22A have clash frames that can nullify meterless reversals and situationally beat Heat. C-Moon: Having crescent mechanics gives you an easier time managing your meter, but also better defense with Heat, Ex-guard and Ex-shield.	Low Range: Short Ranged options and no particularly good ways to approach means that she has a very difficult time overcoming some character's options in neutral. Damage: Extreme amount of rebeats used in pressure, making her damage extremely volatile. Ex-Guard: Opponents doing this will kill your pressure, forcing you to do risky stuff like dashing or do an IAD to try and keep your turn. Mediocre Defense: Heat is her only good reversal, and unfortunately the hitbox is not the greatest, on top of that, having low range options makes it very difficult to contest your opponent's offense. Meter Hungry: Miyako's AT ender gives you nothing in midscreen, and even in the corner is not that good, so that forces you to use j.22C every single time in order to have good okizeme.

Wiki still in progress

General Gameplan

C-Miyako is a character that excels at pressure at the cost of having a bad neutral because of her low range.

That doesnt mean she automatically loses to all the toptiers because of this, thanks to her movement (both her walk speed and her jump) and her very active air buttons (JB and JC) she has ways to get a hit and start her pressure gameplay. Once that you get that hit in you start to play the real game of C-Miyako, with a lot of ways to keep the other one in the corner until hes dead.

Neutral

This is definitely the weakest point of this character. She has very small hitboxes, making her suffer a lot against a very good part of the top/high tiers of this game that outrange her (Like Nero) or has a lot of tools to keep her out in neutral (Like Aoko).

To win neutral with C-Miyako you need to get used to two important things: her walk speed and her air movement/buttons

-Abuse her good walk speed to see what your opponent is doing and punish them overextending with dash 2B/2C/5C (or 236c in some situations).She reaches a good amount of distance quickly thanks to her dash momentum and walk speed, use it, specially against good opponents that dont let you just win neutral with JC.

-Her air game is really good thanks to her JB/JC and her air movement; her jump is really fast and her air buttons, even if not big, have a good hitbox with a lot of active frames; making you win a lot of situations. Dont think that abusing JB/JC is a free ticket to win neutral though, she will lose against a well timed rising JA if you are doing it too obvious. Use your JA in air to air situations, even if it doesnt have a lot of range; it's really fast and good for CHs.

Pressure

This is the strongest point of this character without a doubt, once she gets a hit in neutral and gets the corner she has a lot of ways to keep that corner for her until your opponent is dead. You need to get used to adapt and rebeat a lot with this character in presion in a way that your opponent cant just jump out of the corner. A very generic blockstring looks like this:

•2AA-2B-5B-6B-5A

•5B-5C-6B-22A

This can loop into itself, but if you use it too frequently they'll start to just shield/exguard>jump it; thats when you need to get creative and start mixing it up with rebeats, staggers, OHs and throws, like:

•5A-5A-5B-5[C]-dl.22A

•5A-5A-5B-5{C}2A-2B-22A/B

•5A-5A-5B-6B-dl.236A dl~6C

•2A-2A-2B-5B-6B-5A-dl.236B (midscreen only)

•5A-Stagger 5A- 623B/Dash Throw/Dash 5A/5B/2B

-2B and 5C: Use 2b and 5C to catch up people trying to jump out. Be careful of using 2B against someone that knows how to exguard well, this move has very low range and is going to whiff easily if you get pushed out .

-Rebeat 5A and 22A: These are your best ways to reset pressure. 22A is +3 blocked low, giving an easy reset to keep your pressure game going. Be careful that if blocked standing it's -3, mix it with 22B if your opponent is starting to do that.

-623b,5[C],5{C}>2A, Strike/Throw: These are your best tools to open people up. 623B it's an OH that looks like a dash during the startup, can be jump cancelled on hit for an air combo and it's only -2 on block; but it's the option with the worst reward out of the bunch. 5[C] can be comboed for good damage in the corner and into a corner carry with 236c midscreen while 5{C}>2A it's very difficult to see and also nets you a small bnb (because you probably used a lot of other normals during your blockstrings); both options are safe thanks to 22a. Dont waste 2A early if possible, you need it to keep your opponent guessing when you do 5[C] in your blockstrings. C-Miyako can combo out of her ground throw anywhere with 2C/5C, making her Strike/Throw game extremely good. The corner carry, meter gain and extra damage (even if not at the same level of F-Miyako) makes this one of your better options.

-236a: 236a can be used for frametraps and it is Ex Cancellable for an easy combo with 214C. ~6A its mainly used for combos when you hit 236a, ~6B is an evade that can be used to beat F/H Shield Counter, Heat and Reversals; and it can also be used as a gimmicky throw setup. ~6C gives hard knockdown; you can do a safe heat activation, an OTG or jump into a left/right afterwards.

-236b: Her basic mixup tool when not in the corner, use it to get an easy hit or catch people trying to backdash. Dont overuse it because it's easily beatable by mashing.

-J22C: Another option that can be used. This move it's actually a Low and its +2. You can use it as a meter dump in your pressure after a JC, not like you need it a lot because you are C moon and you are already wasting your meter in your combos. On hit it launches for a small combo like 22B.

-214[A/B]: Slow OHs, dont use them unless your opponent is sleeping or for a hard callout because they are easily punishable.

Okizeme

Its ideal that you end your combos with j22C to get a HKD. After j22C you have some options to deal with the wakeup of your opponent:

-22B: 22B meaty its actually + and can catch people off guard. Be careful against who you use it because it's punisheable by Wakeup DP or ExShield>2a (except for Wara and Hime).

-2B and 22A: Both 2B and 22A have clash frames; allowing you to beat a lot of wakeup DPs, Shield Counters and Heat. You can use 2B>22A to double clash Wakeup DPs to punish them, or use 2A>2B to punish some Shield Counters and Heats (you need to slightly delay the 2B depending of the heat you wanna clash).

-236B: Away from the corner its a decent option for an easy confirm. Remember that this option also beats Heats and Shield Counters thanks to the ~6B follow up, but it loses to CMoon Exshield and Mashing.

-5[C],5{C}>2A: Funny OH meaty that can be half charged to make it a low. Can also be cancelled into 22A to again beat some F/H Moon shields.

Defense

Miyako has a good amount of reversals, and all of them are situational or bad. Because of her small hitboxes mashing out of pressure is also really difficult; you need to block and get used to the pressure of the opponent to find a good opening.

-C-Moon mechanics: This is your best option. ExGuard and Heat helps a lot to escape the opponent's pressure. Be careful of her low range when you Exshield something with her, you dont want to whiff your normals and get a free reset for it.

-623A: Meterless DP with only 5F of invul on startup, this will trade or directly lose the majority of times. If you hit this you can Ex cancel it on J22C to get your turn back.

-623C: 623A but decent at the cost of 100 meter. Its still not that good because its pretty easy to see when you are going to do it thanks to the superflash. If the second hit is blocked you can jump cancel it, making it safe against people that dont know that you can just block this crouching to make the second hit whiff entirely.

-214C: Situational. It doesnt have full startup invul, making it lose against a lot of things; and its also slow enough to shield it on reaction; dont use this on Wakeup unless you want to die. Only -3 on block

-22C: Situational. It has full startup invul, sadly it takes 24f to come out. Use it only in very specific situations to punish slow buttons, like FVaki's 214[A]/[B], FPCiel's 236[A] or CNero's 5[C]; If you use it in any other situation the opponent will just jump and punish you for it.

Combos

Combo Notation Help
Disclaimer: Combos are written by various writers, so the actual notation used in pages can differ from the standard one. For more information, see Glossary and Controls.
X > Y	X input is cancelled into Y.
X > delay Y	Must wait for a short period before cancelling X input into Y.
X, Y	X input is linked into Y, meaning Y is done after X's recovery period.
X+Y	Buttons X and Y must be input simultaneously.
X/Y	Either the X or Y input can be used.
X~Y	This notation has two meanings. Use attack X with Y follow-up input. Input X then within a few frames, input Y. Usually used for option selects.
X(w)	X input must not hit the opponent (Whiff).
j.X	X input is done in the air, implies a jump/jump cancel if the previous move was done from the ground. Applies to all air chain sections: Assume a forward jump cancel if no direction is given. Air chains such as j.A > j.B > j.C can be shortened to j.ABC.
sj.X	X input is done after a super jump. Notated as sj8.X and sj9.X for neutral and forward super jumps respectively.
dj.X	X input is done after a double jump.
sdj.X	X input is done after a double super jump.
tk.X	Stands for Tiger Knee. X motion must be buffered before jumping, inputting the move as close to the ground as possible. (ex. tk.236A)
(X)	X is optional. Typically the combo will be easier if omitted.
[X]	Input X is held down. Also referred to as Blowback Edge (BE). Depending on the character, this can indicate that this button is held down and not released until indicated by the release notation.
]X[	Input X is released. Will only appear if a button is previously held down. This type of input is referred to as Negative Edge.
{X}	Button X should only be held down briefly to get a partially charged version instead of the fully charged one.
X(N)	Attack "X" should only hit N times.
(XYZ)xN	XYZ string must be performed N times. Combos using this notation are usually referred to as loops.
(XYZ^)	A pre-existing combo labelled XYZ is inserted here for shortening purposes.
CH	The first attack must be a Counter Hit.
Air CH	The first attack must be a Counter Hit on an airborne opponent.
66	Performs a ground forward dash.
j.66	Performs an aerial forward dash, used as a cancel for certain characters' air strings.
IAD/IABD	Performs an Instant AirDash.
AT	Performs an Air Throw. (j.6/4A+D)
IH	Performs an Initiative Heat.
AD	Performs an Arc Drive.
AAD	Performs an Another Arc Drive.

You can end combos with j.623A > j.22C for hard knockdown.
j.623A part may requires super double jump in some specific heights or the J22C will whiff.

You can end corner combos with 6C > AD for a dash > dodge mixup, because AD pulls them out of the corner.

Move Descriptions

Frame Data Help
Header	Tooltip
Move Box Colors	Light gray = Collision Box (A move lacking one means it can go through the opponent's own collision box). Green: Hurt Boxes. Red: Hit(/Grab) Boxes. Yellow: Clash Boxes (When an active hitbox strikes a clash box, the active hitbox stops being active. Multi-hit attacks can beat clash since they will still progress to the next hitbox.) Magenta: Projectile-reflecting boxes OR Non-hit attack trigger boxes (usually). Blue: Reflectable Projectile Boxes.
Damage	Base damage done by this attack. (X) denotes combined and scaled damage tested against standing V. Sion.
Red Damage	Damage done to the recoverable red health bar by this attack. The values are inherently scaled and tested against standing V. Sion. (X) denotes combined damage.
Proration	The correction value set by this attack and the way it modifies the scaling during a string. See this page for more details. X% (O) means X% Overrides the previous correction value in a combo if X is of a lower percentage. X% (M) means the current correction value in a combo will be Multiplied by X%. This can also be referred to as relative proration.
Circuit	Meter gained by this attack on hit. (X%) denotes combined meter gain. -X% denotes a meter cost.
Cancel	Actions this move can be cancelled into. SE = Self cancelable. N = Normal cancelable. SP = Special cancelable. CH = Cancelable into the next part of the same attack (Chain in case of specials). EX = EX cancelable. J = Jump cancelable. (X) = Cancelable only on hit. -X- = Cancelable on whiff.
Guard	The way this move must be blocked. L = Can block crouching H = Can block standing. A = Can block in the air. U = Unblockable.
Startup	Amount of frames that must pass prior to reaching the active frames. Also referred to as "True Startup".
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. X denotes active frames with a duration separate from its origin move's frame data, such as projectile attacks. In this case, the total length of the move is startup+recovery only.
Recovery	Frames that this move has after the active frames if not canceled. The character goes into one frame where they can block but not act afterwards, which is not counted here.
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 that is at least 2 frames less than this move's negative advantage, it will result in the opponent hitting that move. ±x~±y denotes a range of possible advantages.
Invul	Lists any defensive properties this move has. X y~z denotes X property happening between the y to z frames of the animations. If no frames are noted, it means the invincibility lasts through the entire move. Invicibility: Strike = Strike invincible. Throw = Throw invincible. Hurtbox-Based Properties: Full = No hurtboxes are present. High = Upper body lacks a hurtbox. Low = Lower body lacks a hurtbox. Miscellaneous Properties Clash = Frames in which clash boxes are active. Reflect = Frames in which projectile-reflecting boxes are active.

This is fast and has a little more range than 5A. It's neutral on block, so use it to reset pressure without whiff cancelling. Start your bnb with this for maximum damage without a jump-in.

5C

5C Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 1000 686 80% (O) N, SP, EX, (J) LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 10 6 18 -6 10.0% - A strong shoulder thrust. It moves forward a good amount and does good guard damage, so it's pretty good in blockstrings. It also has a low prorate and the highest damage of all her normals (1000), so use it as much as possible in combos! Note that against an airborne opponent, it gains wallslam properties. 5[C] Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 1500 980 70% (O) SP, EX H First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 30 10 18 -10 10.0% - Looks the same as 5C. It moves forward a bit more(?), does even more damage (1500), and hits overhead. It will wallslam the opponent, so it's difficult to follow up when used midscreen. In the corner it can lead up to nice damage(4k+) though.

The core of your anti-DP/Heat OSes thanks to its clash frames. Besides that, its hitbox has very little horizontal range, so be careful of the range when you use it during your Pressure/BNBs, youll need to skip it entirely in some cases. Its a decent anti-air against some air approaches (like IADs)

This is one of C Miyako's best pokes. It comes out fast(6f!), hits low, and is her longest range normal. It will cause knockdown on hit, which is good for okizeme and can be comboed from for low-to-moderate damage. Dont use it that much in pressure, it has a lot of pushback.

This is one of Miyako's best air normals. It comes out moderately fast, has pretty good range, and also hits a good distance behind her. Use this for awesome crossup shenanigans, because hitting someone with the crossup side of the attack actually pushes them into you! Be careful though, it starts to become shield bait if you get too predictable with it.

This has a deceptively massive attack hitbox and is amazing for jump-ins. Use it early in jump-ins to stuff all kinds of stuff, and just reverse beat into j.B on hit to confirm into ground combo for maximum damage bnb.

It comes out quick and is useful in both combos and blockstrings. Because of the three possible followup commands, it can lead to damage on hit or a safe blockstring reset on block. Use this often. B Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 1200 686 80% (O) -CH-, -EX- LHA First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 25 4 37 -3 9.0% Full 12-14 A crossup dashing elbow. It's basically 236A with longer startup and free crossup. Since you can cancel into the followup commands, it's good in pressure. Don't be afraid to throw it out here and there, just be careful of people mashing out. Some interesting use could be in the corner where 236B won't crossup. 236B creates a lot of dust, it will be harder for opponent to see couple of frames of the followups. ~6A Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 600 196 100% EX LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 14 4 20 -3 5.0% - ~6[A] Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 600 196 100% EX, J LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 30 4 20 -6 5.0% - A shoulder thrust, similar to 5C. It's only real purpose is in combos. It is ex cancellable and will wallslam on hit vs airborne opponent. Air unblockable. The held version's only real difference is being jump cancellable on block giving better advantage. ~6B Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard - - - - - First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln - - 25 -9 - Strike A cartwheel, similar to her evade. It has evasion properties, so it is invincible to non-throws and will crossup the opponent. It has some recovery though, so use it very sparingly. Note that this is -9, and throw protection lasts 8 frames. Meaning your fastest attack after this is throw. If you use 236B in the corner, couple of frames of the evade will be hidden by the dust. This makes this followup a gimmicky throw setup. ~6C Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 900 588 60% (O) - L First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 8 7 14 -3 10.0% - A low slide kick, similar to F-Moon's 2B. It hits low, is safe on block, and gives a knockdown on hit. It's really good. Air unblockable. EX Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 1800 980 60% (M) - LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 2+14 3 19 -4 -100.0% - A crossup dashing elbow. No longer invincible.

It comes out quick and the first kick is air unblockable. Has startup invincibility but if blocked on the ground, the second attack will whiff and leave you at a huge frame disadvantage.

It moves forward during it's sizable startup, it hits overhead, and is safe on block. Use this shit in your blockstrings. On hit, it's jump cancellable for a free air combo. The second kick is air unblockable.

It has startup invincibility and the first kick is air unblockable. You can jump cancel the last hit on hit or block, so it's safe as long as the enemy doesn't block it crouching (last hit will whiff vs crouchers).

It comes out pretty fast and launches on hit, but it's unsafe and doesn't have much practical use outside of C's corner BnB. [A]: Same as 214A, but further moving. Too slow to be a practical overhead when you already have 5[C] and 623B doing the job better B Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 800 539 70% (O) -EX- LHA First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 23 4 16 -2 10.0% Low 8-21 [B] Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 800 539 70% (O) -EX- HA First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 34 4 16 -2 10.0% Low 17-32 A strong leaping punch. It has longer startup, but can jump over some low hits and is semi-safe on block. Still not too practical overall. This will jump over certain low attacks as well. [B]: Same as 214B, but further moving. Same issues that 214[A] has but the low invul can rarely catch some people mashing. This can also be used in certain situational combos for extra damage without adding to the slam/bounce counter. EX Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 1800 1470 70% (M) - LHA First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 7+9 3 18 -3 -100.0% Full 1-13 A devastating lunging punch. It wallslams and does good damage, but has heavy multiplicative proration. Its main use is for comboing off of a 236B hit in pressure strings. If you see a circuit spark coming during a ground chain, you can cancel into this to punish it.

Quake Stomp 22A/B/C

A Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 800 294 65% (O) - LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 16 3 20 -3 (vs Stand.) 3 (vs Crouch.) 8.0% Full 1, Clash 2-7 A quick stomp. It comes out quick and is +3 when blocked low, so throw it out in pressure strings for a quick and easy reset, dont be too obvious with it tho because If blocked high you end up -3, ending your pressure. The first frame of invul on startup together with the clash frames make this move very useful in OSes against DPs/SCs together with 2B. Gives HKD/OTG on hit and a combo on CH. B Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 700 245 70% - L First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 27 9 12 -1 7.0% Clash 3-12 An exaggerated stomp. It has much more startup, but hits low and launches the opponent on hit for free combo. It only -1 on block, so it's good in pressure as long as the opponent doesn't expect it. Throw it when the opponent is starting to try to block high your 22A. EX Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 1800 980 80% - LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 1+24 X 25 -6 ~ 0 -100.0% Full 1-24 An exaggerated stomp. It has full startup invincibility, hits nearly the entire screen, and launches on hit. It's a shame that the 20+ frames of startup almost guarantee that it'll never hit anything. Use it only against specific slow specials/normals that cant be normally punished other ways, like FPCiel 236[A]

A/B Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 800 294 50% - LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 31 7 13 0 8.0% - A falling stomp. Its safe on block, but otherwise it isn't particularly notable. It will give knockdown on hit. On counterhit, you can relaunch your opponent with 2C 5B 2B. Air unblockable (not that it matters). EX (Air) Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 1200 (1056) 603 100% - A (Whiffs vs Ground) First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 1+6 X - - -100.0% - EX (Ground) Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 700 245 50% - L First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 1+7 6 18 2 - - This is one of C Moon's best moves, hands down. Unlike the A/B air stomps, this has a hitbox in the air that will groundslam (techable) the opponent. The stomp itself is low and launches on hit for a free 3k combo (similar to 22b on the ground). It also is VERY safe on block, and can be used to crossup opponents (especially on their wakeup). Crossup low meaty that looks high? I'd buy that for a dollar! Also air unblockable (not that it matters).

Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 3800 2614 100% - LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 4+17 10 66 -43 removes all Full 1-20 A strong stomp that explodes in a huge blue burst. It's air unblockable and does around 1000 guard damage, but due to the increased startup it's really not practical to use. Use your meter on 623C or 236C reversals and life gain instead. Air unblockable.

It's air unblockable, does lots of damage, and lots of guard damage. It's startup is even decreased from the normal AD! Too bad it's still too much to make it useful... Use your meter on 623C or 236C reversals and life gain instead.

Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 7000 (base) - 50% + 50% * remaining BH time - U First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 4+0 3 32 - removes all Full 1-7 A beefy lunging punch, similar to 214B. This will either do lots of damage and light the opponent on fire(just a visual perk), or do little damage and confuse the opponent for an extended time. Which version you get is random. It's not really that great, to be honest.
