Overview

Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
  • Good air game, quick buttons that have decent hitboxes and many active frames, decent movement in the air
  • Good mixup with several overheads, 421A especially is fast and can be used to reset pressure
  • Solid pressure with several + on block moves and resets, along with a great strike/throw game with her combo throw
  • Great damage
Weaknesses
  • Most overheads are on the slower side
  • Very stubby normals means she has an awful time getting in, gets dominated in neutral
  • Pressure is very short and linear, she needs creativity and good reads to open up
  • No meterless reversals

General Gameplan

Neutral

When people first take a look at this character, they typically assume that her tiny stature is compensated for with false conclusions. Ones such as "that makes her harder to hit", "she makes up for it with speed", and so on. Miyako is unfortunately close to the lesser echelons when it comes to winning neutral. Her small size makes for small hitboxes. This is an issue when considering that most characters are about twice her size, giving them literal-space to commit much less against her in neutral than many other matchups. This is especially evident against certain top tier characters. Ones such as Nero or Archetype:Earth, or even zoners like Mech Hisui or Aoko. Winning neutral against these characters is a struggle for her.

But there is a reason why I say "close to", and not "is outright bad" regarding this subject. While her worst aspects may be exacerbated on display against certain character types, she absolutely has the means to play neutral regardless. In fact even better than a fair number of characters who are overall, more consistently designed to win matchups. She can contend with most of the cast on an even playing field, if not better. Even against her worst nightmares, she still has chances at success.

This is particularly due to two things:

1) Her movement

2) The properties of her aerial normals, beyond spacing issues

These two aspects actively complement one another, and ultimately make it so that Miyako should never be counted out, no matter who you play.

Offense

F-Miyako's pressure is the easiest part about her to learn, as it is also easily being the most rewarding. Despite people's complaints about Miyako as a character struggling overall, there is no doubt her offensive capabilities altogether belong to that of a solid, high, B-tier character.

While her range may be lacking, her character design (just barely) manages to save her from this prevalent issue by virtue of a few particular aspects. One, this is a Full Moon Miyako. This makes her A and B normals plus on block, allowing for relatively safe resets and redashes. What's even nicer about her normals is that they all delay pressure with extreme ease. This fluidity makes her frightening to call out when she's in close-range, as risk, reward, and commitment are generally never in the enemy's favor due to her ridiculous damage numbers. All these factors combined, it is great in that this makes it incredibly easy to convert accidental hits into actual combos. So if you were to do 2AAA > 5B > 2B, if the enemy were to get hit during the 5B portion, if the 2B is delayed but timed well enough, it becomes reactable as both a combo and as a blockstring. Furthermore, if desired, she can also reset with 22A, which is also slightly plus on block. If you want an idea of how plus, try it up close against the opponent and try to get your 5B to beat their 2A mash. It will work on everyone. Do be wary of the range at which you use this normal however, as it is not so plus that the enemy is forced to stay put when pushed out far enough, as their options tend to change at that spacing.

Her normals by virtue of being plus can also technically not just reset into specials, but also into each other. For example, her 5B and 2B are both plus on block. Provided you are at the right distance, you can reset by going back to her A normals. Her 5A and 2A will catch any mashing opponent if her B normals are blocked.

Speaking of normals, her 5C is also underrated for pressure. Though it is extremely minus on block, the pushback on the 5C actually makes it completely safe against every possible attack in the game on block. Combined with the fact the window of its cancellable frames on both hit and block is extremely wide, you have yet another potent tool for resets and frametraps.

623B-B is also underrated (though should be used cautiously). The second hit can be delayed, and it is plus on block. So plus that 2B can be pressed right after and it'll beat every mashout 2A in the game clean. NOTE that F-Miyako's 2B is 5f startup, and her 5B is 7f startup. This makes a significant difference. On the other hand, because it's such a potent frametrap, this, again, makes her redashes a threat once the opponent starts respecting.

22C is also an amazingly underrated pressure tool. It has as much frame advantage as 22A, is able to be mixed up with empty-jump-forward (into grab or whatever else, when the opponent's not expecting it), and if blocked incorrectly, leads into full combo. Also puts you back forward completely into Miyako's absolute most optimal range.

That said, her pressure in short, and the mixup has to be somewhere. If the enemy is respecting your pressure enough to get pushed out, and if redashes aren't causing them to commit to anything faulty, throw. Remember that Miyako's throws are comboable, something very rare among characters in this game. Her combos also lead into an average of 3-4K damage. Ultimately, even if they are less damage than her normal non-scaled combos, these are still extremely high numbers the opponent is facing. Do not be afraid to rely on throws when the opponent is blocking too much. If anything, your enemy should be the one in fear if they cannot meet against these properly.

Once your opponent starts expecting tick throws, and begins teching them, Miyako very fortunately has the absolute best possible tools to deal with throw-tech callout situations. If you suspect your opponent is throw teching regularly (4/6+E) you can call this out by just (redashing and) 2A mashing. If the opponent is throw teching regularly, that means they'll have to stand up to do it. And if they are standing up when they think you will throw, your 2A mashing will be firing at a rate so quick, their timing can't possibly compensate for it. They will get caught low if they guess wrong.

But suppose the above isn't a problem for them, because they're throw teching with the OS instead (1A+D). This means they can keep blocking low and not have to commit to standing up while freely inputting an OS during blockstun. However, if they are not under blockstun, they let out a low-shield that only lasts for an instant. Though the obvious answer here would be to simply (redash and) delay 5B, there is another solution. What you can do in order to beat both throw-tech options is dash, jump forward, immediately IAD backwards, and do j.C. This will catch them in a counter-hit state both ways, and leading to an absolutely devastating combo. Because F-Miyako's IAD backwards is so short, and has to go against her current momentum, this puts her perfectly in place for a low j.C which can either confirm on callout or lead to more pressure if blocked. If you're in the corner, you can also dash and IAD forward to call out both options. Difference with IAD forward being that you can cancel into j.C quicker and you stay closer if blocked to pressure.

So in summary, F-Miyako pressure is extremely linear, and does not have many ways to defy conventional Melty Blood design logic. Not blocking? Hit buttons. Blocking? Throw. Throw teching? Miyako can call it out better than most. Made a faulty move? Do your best to reset. Miyako's tools are straightforward, and powerful, in boasting a myriad of tools that allow her to always be plus. But the pressure phase is almost always going to be pathetically short compared to the rest of the cast. This makes her equally easy to read given her linear gameplan. So just outread your opponent and you'll be scoring big numbers in no time with little issue.

TL;DR:

  • A and B normals are plus, making for good frametraps even within themselves
  • 5C looks unsafe, and by frame data would be, but in reality is completely safe 100% of the time on block thanks to pushback
  • Her A and B normals and 5C have amazing reset and cancel ability thanks to the fact they have long cancel windows. Use this to your discretion based on how the opponent is or isn't respecting you
  • 22A to reset pressure. Plus enough to even have B normals beat out opponent mashing any normal clean
  • 22C is as plus as 22A, and puts her back into optimal range, not to mention can be mixed up with empty-jump forward. However do be wary of its long startup if the enemy is prepared for it
  • The above combined with Miyako's big damage numbers make for fantastic fear-installment in the enemy, which gets them respecting, which makes way for Miyako's powerful tick throw game. Which also nets her crazy damage, making for a scarily complete character on offense
  • If the opponent is throw teching, 2A mash if they are doing it regularly (4/6+E). Dash, forward jump, and IAD backwards into j.C if they are doing throw-tech OS
  • Once they are respecting and don't throw tech, the cycle begins all over again

Defense

You will eventually be forced to block. And quite frankly, defense as Miyako is far more difficult than average.

In Melty Blood, offense can be continuous, and seemingly indefinite. However, we all know that it is not truly forever. The one on offense will eventually get pushed out, before being forced to settle for a reset. The way this design philosophy is tilted against Miyako however, is precisely because of one issue in her design: Range.

Her grounded A and B normals have slightly faster than average startup. But for that speed, they aren't exactly going anywhere. This makes her 5B completely impractical as an abare. Her A normals only good as one on a hard read, at the correct distance. But credit should be given. 2B is 5f startup, which is well worth its range. Not to mention it can proximity-OS. What this means is that if you press a button at a certain time after 2B, if you whiff, it'll do nothing. If it is blocked or hit, you will go into those following moves. So let's say you did 2B > 5C for example. If the 2B as a defensive mashout whiffs, nothing happens. If blocked or hit, the 5C will come out immediately by cancelling the 2B, and thus you can react to the situation with a potential conversion. However, mashing out is still dangerous because of how universally easy it is to blow up the strategy in this game. Not to mention, Miyako's stubby range despite her quick moves, is still an issue for defense. This makes it easier for those with longer limbs/pressure tools (read: Everyone named not-Miyako and not-Necos), to keep her at a particular spacing where her 2A can't feasibly reach. The aforementioned balancing drawback to offense, where you must eventually be pushed out before reset, suddenly changes when the attackers can commit to their spacing that much less against Miyako in particular. So if you are going to mash, please, be certain and be careful.

But the lot of you might be wondering how this is an issue when abare is among the riskiest defensive options anyway. This is only part of the problem, as it's not just a lack of range, but also a lack of tools which can stably put her in a good situation.

Given the nature of her Full Moon Style, she has two real options based on that: Shields and EX Guards. The lack of her range exacerbates Shield as an option, however. The best times to use Shield are when the enemy puts themselves in certain, predictable situations. During defense, the best example of this is Airdashing. Airdashing as an offensive reset is used to safely get around a potential abare, most of which are lower-hitting normals. However, if the range isn't a threat, then there is seldom any real need to do so. Thus giving the enemy not enough of a reason to airdash as frequently as they would normally. This in theory turns Shield into a tough, and barely usable option for Miyako. As for EX Guards, they speak for themselves. If you can afford them, and if it'll be better to do so, go for it. If not, then don't. This doesn't change no matter who you use.

But what about 623C? Sorry to say, but this is also not a good option, only made good by hard-read or lucky guesses; the latter of which you shouldn't be relying on regularly. This is not only because it's metered, but also insanely telegraphed with the superflash. On top of that, every character (yes even Nero) can crouch block the first kick, causing the second to whiff. Failing to have the second half of 623C blocked means you can't jump cancel to make it safe, leaving you wide open for a punish opportunity. Not at all a favorable use of meter, even for one who generates it rapidly as F-Miyako.

So what do you do? Cry, give up, and go home the second you're forced to block? Well, no. While the reality for a defensive Miyako is grim, that doesn't mean the ability to find better scenarios is totally robbed of you. You still have two particular things. First, the main, universal defensive maneuver of jumping. And second, the mindgames around throw mixup.

Regardless of how little the enemy has to commit during pressure, pushblock is still going to play its part. When the enemy is out far enough, it might be easy for them to reset. But it might not always be so easy for them to get the most optimal situations based on spacing. In most cases, you should be able to wait out pressure one way or another. And once you find the optimal timing to jump, remember what was written in the Neutral section for this guide: Miyako's air normals have extremely long active frames and deceptively good hitboxes. That change in position, difficult to earn as it may be, can be one of Miyako's simplest yet most hopeful points for turnaround.

The enemy will want to do damage to you as well. If your defense is good, then they'll have to resort to something to force you open eventually. It might be easy to hypothesize most situations as "oh but the opponent can just bully me forever because of Miyako's horrid range!" While this may be true in theory, you must remember that Miyako scores far higher damage than normal. On average, two combos from most other characters equals one regular F-Miyako combo. If your opponent ends their pressure without committing to anything, at best they might've scored negligible chip damage as different in health. We all know that in Melty Blood, or heck, fighting games in general, that tiny amount doesn't mean a lot; even if the timer were to be as low as 20 seconds. Life lead or not, it's not a stable enough quantity to put the enemy in that much more of a position to play from a dominant perspective. One interaction can still forcefully push the momentum towards either player. Meaning that in due time, the opponent, if they are thinking on this level, will want to resort to a throw.

Keeping in mind Miyako's damage numbers, your reward for mashing out will almost always be greater than your risk. BUT KEEP IN MIND that risk IS DIFFERENT from commitment. The reward you get is fantastic, and the risk is almost never able to match, but the probability of things going one way or another, is determined by commitment. Remember that mashing, no matter who you play, is dangerous in Melty Blood because of all the ways that exist to stuff it. A smidge bit of delay pressure is all that's needed to consistently blow up mash attempts. That said, if you are going to mash, mash intelligently. This is built by nothing other than good reading ability. Note: READING. Not trying-really-hard-to-guess. On the other hand, if you fail a throw callout, or throw tech (also a valid option as it creates just enough space and a situation in which to try and get your "turn" back), do not fret. Remember that conditioning in fighting games can go both ways. You can view this as your opponent conditioning you, but at the same time, you are objectively conditoning your opponent, whether they know it or not. This perspective should make it clearer on how to act in the face of future interactions.

On a final note regarding the throw-mixup, do keep in mind that a throw tech, the throw tech OS, and mashout attempts, can all be beaten by an instant-airdash in the corner. Leaving yourself open, possibly to counter-hit state, is also incredibly dangerous in relation to risk, reward, and commitment values. But if you see that coming, then airdashes, no matter who you play, are still pretty committed by nature. And remember what was said about Miyako's damage. Her 5A is an unorthodox anti-air, but if you place it right, it can also be used deceptively. You also have Shield, which is pretty strong in Full Moon. In a situation where the enemy is tense, this could be the moment where Shield goes from a not-so-great option to an actually usable one. And so we come full circle from her worse options being her better options when considering the fuller scope of the match.

In a rudimentary way of summarizing, all comes down to reads and good defensive fundamentals with Miyako. She has to struggle far more than average to even so much as get a turn back. But once she does, remember that the damage she earns off of one good read could possibly be more than enough to turn the tide of battle on its head.

TL;DR:

  • 2A is only good close range. Make sure to convert proper by not pushing them out too far with rapid-fire 2A's so that the followup gatling doesn't hit
  • 2B being 5f startup is good and can proximity-OS
  • Shield where it makes sense to, Shield Counter when it works
  • Condition your opponent by blocking. Force them to commit to unfavorable resets where their intentions become obvious due to limiting options
  • Jump at the right times

Dealing with F-Miyako

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.
  1. Use attack X with Y follow-up input.
  2. 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.

For this section, the final parts to each notation listed will almost always end with j.421C. This guide will be working under the assumption that you have enough meter to end with the EX Elbow Drop for two reasons. One, F-Miyako generates meter at a ridiculous rate per BnB. Two, using this super grants her a hard knockdown ender with ample time to set up her next attack. Although if for some reason, you find yourself shy of the meter required for an ender, you can then instead opt for an Air Throw instead of (623A >) j.421C. On the other hand, if you find yourself on the cusp of whittling away the final remains of your opponent's health, opt for j.623C as your ender instead of j.421C. This combo list will also be working on the assumption every j.421C ender can be replaced with j.623C.

For the sake of convenience, the "Normal Combos" subsection will be for all combos that don't need you to start with facing towards the corner. One of F-Miyako's biggest strengths as a character is largely-above-average corner carrying capacity. This is because of the specific moves she uses in her combos which allows her to travel great distances. Not to mention, again, she nets an absurd amount of meter per BnB, and needs it for hard knockdown enders. So instead of convoluting everything into "Midscreen", "Universal", "Corner Only", "Metered", etc., we will only have "Normal Combos", "Corner Combos", and "Initiative Heat Combos".

The majority of the notations in "Normal Combos" will have strong corner carrying capacity, and will require you to be there by the end of it, if not halfway through it. Whether you can use the combo or not based on your position, can be tested in training mode, or read in their respective descriptions.

Finally, do note that for every combo which notates 2C > 6C > 236A near the corner, you can replace that bit with:

  • 5B > 236A, if the 2C > 6C version is proving to be sloppy, OR if you're fighting Kouma/Warachia. 2C pickup doesn't work on those two characters, so please keep this alternative route in mind!
  • 2C > 623A~A > land > 236A, for optimized damage and meter gain. Keep in mind this is harder to do

The second of your two most important combo conversion routes as Miyako. With this and the above combo, you learn what's basically going to be a vast majority of the conversion routes Miyako will be using for the rest of her starters. Does less damage than the combo below, however is the general BnB for crouching opponents.
Does full corner carry, and can be done from anywhere 95% of the screen.
Note that if you're doing this combo in the corner, the opponent might switch sides due to the slightly odd collision box physics. In these cases, after the j.421B, and before the 2C, you want to walk away from the corner for a split second, so they land inside it.

If you're having trouble getting the 623B delay B part down consistently, wait until you see Miyako descending just a little before pressing the second B. This should make your timings 100% consistent if you can understand it.

Can only be done on standing opponents.

This is the first of the two conversion routes you'll be seeing use for extremely often with Miyako. If there's a combo to learn, this would absolutely be one of them.
The dash is optional if you're close enough and need to close space. In most cases you shouldn't have to.
Can be done from most anywhere on the screen, thanks to the horizontal coverage of 236B. But do keep in mind that by the time you hit j.6E(whiff), the opponent should be smack dab in the corner.
If you find yourself having trouble with the timing, cancel 236B into j.421B as quickly as you can.

Then delay the j.6E(whiff) right before you hit the ground. Full Moon characters don't have landing lag from basic aerial actions, so this whiff is to guarantee you recover quickly enough from j.421B to follow up with the rest. The remainder of the combo should be straightforward.

MUST be done facing outside the corner, while extremely close to it. This setup requires about 4/5 of the full screen space to actually utilize

Usually confirmed from a 5B > 5C, and is the most convenient to confirm after a raw throw from the ground
Sets up an ambiguous, unreactable left/right mixup. If you do the superjump forward as-is, she'll land on the other side. If you do a j.A whiff last second, she'll land on the same side.
On top of all that, it can also be used as a safejump (with j.C)
CANNOT be done on Riesbyfe, as 6[C] will not OTG her
Should seriously not be used against Archetype: Earth. Her collision box is too big for Miyako to be able to cross her up

F-Miyako's iconic, universal corner 50/50 setup.

This setup is infamous for being one of the few completely ambiguous 50/50s in the game. With enough practice, the visual cue for whether Miyako will land left or right can be made totally impossible to spot. However, the player can know ahead of time as they control which side they'll land on. Mixed with her deadly damage, this is one of the biggest reasons you have to fear Miyako's potential as a character.
In order to perform this, drift slowly away from the corner after the apex of your double jump, before airdashing backwards. If you do, you'll end up outside the corner. If you don't however, you'll stay inside the corner.

For more information, and some visual reference, refer to the first minute and thirty seconds of this video.

Character-specific version of the above 50/50. Drifting and mixup portion are fundamentally the same.

Despite being character-specific, this is arguably even deadlier because unlike the above variant, if you drift outside the corner for a little longer than necessary, you can trick your opponent into thinking you'll land outside it when you're realy landing inside.

Extremely difficult and situational to execute corner setup as Miyako. Not in any way mandatory to know, but it still is a useful in that it fills a niche no other combo does for high damage.

The first airthrow whiff you do, you should be inside the corner, facing away from it. The purpose of the airdash into double jump before the dj.AA is to position yourself outside the corner again, and essentially sideswitch with the enemy.

Purpose of this is to set a bit of distance after the EX Elbow Drop. The distance created will allow Miyako to meaty with 22A. The distance set will beat Shield and DPs. Also granted that 22A doesn't push back, you're free to assert dominance with your superior, well-earned positioning. Its not very practical but it is stylish.

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.
Super Armor = Frames in which the character can take hits without going into hit stun.

A strong shoulder thrust. New to MBAA, 5C can now be normal cancelled into 6C, which greatly improves the usability of this move! 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.

In Full exclusively, you have to manually do the second kick with another button press, the later you cancel into it the less recovery frames and more frame advantage you get. The window for the second kick is smaller than 623B, so it's less useful. Both hits are air unblockable and the move starts up relatively fast, so it can be used as anti-air. It gets beaten out easy though, so be careful. Heat cancellable.

The long window for the second kick coupled with its forward movement during startup makes it very useful for combos or pressure. Properly delayed, it is completely safe in blockstrings and gets you back in to restart pressure. It's absolutely essential as a launcher for her BnB. Both hits are air unblockable. Heat cancellable.

It is exactly the same as the other moon styles' 623C, so it doesn't have a manual second kick. It has startup invincibility and the first kick is air unblockable, so it's your only real reversal in Full. 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). Heat cancellable.

A strong lunging punch. 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. This is actually pretty good. It not only moves forward more and hits overhead, but it also does heavy guard damage(500) and is semi-safe on block. It will wallslam on hit though, so its hard to combo from midscreen. Air unblockable.

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. Heat cancellable.

[B]: Same as 214B, but further moving. This hits overhead, is semi-safe on block, and launches on hit. It's the only overhead that doesn't wallslam on hit, so it can be useful if the opponent doesn't expect it. This also moves really far, so sometimes you can catch people off guard when they think they're at a safe range.

A leaping elbow. This move is good. It jumps over stuff, hits overhead, does good guard damage(500), and is cancellable on block or hit. The best options for cancelling are either jump cancelling(more safe, but can leave an opening in pressure) or whiff throw cancelling(less safe, but lets you reset pressure). On hit vs a grounded opponent, it will give a knockdown. On hit vs an airborne opponent (it's air unblockable), it will ground bounce for free combo. On whiff, you will fall on the ground for a long time(but not actually in an otg state), so don't whiff or you eat guaranteed free punish. If the opponent shields this move, you CANNOT jump cancel it.

A quick stomp. It comes out quick and gives advantage on block(moreso vs crouching block), so throw it out in pressure strings for a quick and easy reset. It gives a knockdown on hit. Air unblockable (not that it matters).

A jumping stomp. This is one of F's meanest attacks. It looks almost exactly like her normal 9 jump, but comes down with a low stomp that launches like 22b. It can also crossup against a crouching or waking up opponent, for great justice. Mix this up with random jump-ins and empty jumps into throws for massive frustration.

A strong stomp that explodes in a huge blue burst. It's air unblockable and does like 1000 guard damage, but due to the increased startup, it's really not practical to use. Use your meter on 623C reversals or j.421C combo enders instead. Air unblockable.

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.
