Overview

Strengths / Weaknesses

Strengths	High meterless damage Good pressure Good combo conversions 236C, the long range special to punish zoning with a lot of iframes (unlike F-Miyako's 236C) Amazing ground grab
Weaknesses	Small hitboxes on normals Reliance on rebeats makes damage inconsistent Poor shield counter will whiff sometimes shielding air attacks from above Bad dodge

General Gameplan

Neutral

Abuse her very strong air normals. Try to be as unpredictable as possible.
Her ground dashes may not be the best, but they serve their purposes well. Dash up 2B/2C can be good for catching your opponent off guard. Dash 5C sometimes works for forcing your opponent out of the air.
She also has a very good walk speed.

Pressure

While H-Miyako pressure is not as good as C-Miyako, H-Miyako pressure is still very good. Better than F-Miyako's.
The biggest problem is that you have to be unpredictable to not allow opponent to get away without risk.
Knowing when to rebeat and which buttons/options are available is a key to doing this.
Each H-Miyako player that wants to be competent will need to have reliable rebeat system against certain opponents mindsets. For example if they jump out a lot, try to block 22A standing a lot, shield, dodge, backdash etc.

H-Miyako retains ability to nullify a lot of DPs via 2B > 22A. 2B and 22A both has clash frames, so they can each eat one hit of the DP.

• 5B > 5C > 2A > 22A loop.

This is an important loop, but unlike C-Miyako's 22A loop, it's flawed because it allows opponent to jump out. The reason why opponent can jump out is 2A has low blockstun frames as opposed to C-Miyako's 5B or 6B. However you still have to rely on this loop, because it keeps the pressure up. You will have to vary blockstrings to include 2B and 5C to catch jumps.
For example 5B > 5C > 2A > 22A > 5B > 5C > 2A > 22A now opponent saw the loop twice, and you can do more, instead of that they know they can just jump out. But if you then follow up with 5B > 5C > 2A > tiny delay > 2C they will get hit. If they didn't jump you can reverse beat with 5A whiff and try to restart pressure.

You can also do a proper 22A pressure which doesn't allow jump outs: ...2B > 5C > 5B > 22A.
This would not allow jump outs. Depending on distance you will most likely be able to connect with 5B again.

Since 22A is -3 when blocked standing, opponents will try to do just that to get their turn.
To counter that, you can either do quick 2C, or 22B.

Tech

Corner AD 50/50:

Miyako's AD pulls opponent out of the corner a little bit, so you can do dash > dodge to get behind for a 50/50.

If dodge is delayed, dash can push opponent so that dodge fails to crossup.

It is hard/impossible to see due to amount of dust ther is when opponent falls down.

With the amount of meter H-Miyako is gaining and corner carry she has, you should be able to use AD > dodge mixup quite often.

Corner 5BB 214[B] 50/50:

H-Miyako has 50/50 that works on few characters.

It can be achieved via the following route:

• Throw, 5C > 5BB > 214[B], 2B > 236A, 2C. Then 8 jump drift towards opponent. You will land on difference sides depending on the timing.

The 50/50 depends on when you press 2B. Hit it early, and you will land on the same side, hit it later, and you will switch side.

Switching side is harder to see than not switching. So side switch first, otherwise, the opponent will not respect your mixup (Unless you know they know and expect this right away).

This timing is character dependent, some need 2B hit earlier to stay on the same side.

Here is the list of characters where this 50/50 works:

• Tohno, Sion, VSion, Akiha, Arc, WArc, Seifuku, Satsuki, Ryougi, Hisui, Kohaku

Corner 5BB 421B mixup:

H-Miyako has a fake-ish mixup off of 421B hitting behind opponent after wall slam.

Example is Throw > 2C > 5BB > delay > 421B. Delay allows opponent to get off the wall after the slam, making 421B hit from behind.

When 421B hits, opponent will get thrown towards the corner. Once 421B hits, jump cancel with 8.

By default if you do not press anything you will land in the corner. But the timing is obvious, so you need to be in the air to be more ambiguous. You can do that with doing a air backdash, then dodge > j.B whiff > land.

This would be around the time opponent starts to wake up.

However to not end up in the corner, after jump cancelling with 8, do a tiny drift forward, then do air backdash > dodge > j.B whiff > land.

Post air throw corner oki:

It is recommended to keep corner, as Miyako's neutral is tough, and the corner is where she is the most scary.

In the corner, combos that end with extremely high in the air, and end with an air throw, will allow Miyako to do a dash grab that punishes neutral tech.

Since it's a punish, it is guaranteed until opponent stops neutral/back teching.

Defense

H-Miyako has plenty of defensive tools, all with it's own drawbacks.

1. 623A. Meterless DP, but it is not a strong DP and can trade sometimes.
2. 623C. More reliable DP. If second hit is blocked (if opponent didn't crouch it), it can be jump cancelled allowing you to run away.
3. 214C. Not a true reversal, because hurtbox shows up before the hitbox. But has iframes from the first frame (even before screen flash). It is safe on block! But opponents able to react and shield the hit and punish.
4. 22C. A fake reversal. Hitbox comes out at the same time as hurtbox and launches high up. The hitbox is extremely small and travels almost fullscreen very quickly. This would only beat certain oki like C-Nero 5[C] meaty. Can also be used to punish zoning far away. The problem with this move is that opponents will simply jump and punish.
5. 214D during blockstun. Half moon special bunker that costs 100% meter. Safest reversal.
6. Shield. Not only it's a Half moon shield, it's counter is also bad. Other than that, nothing special about it.
7. Dodge. Rolling dodge, generally, is worse than standing dodges. However Miyako's AD pulls opponent out of the corner a little bit, so you can do dash > dodge to get behind for a 50/50. If dodge is delayed, dash can push opponent so that dodge fails to crossup. With the amount of meter H-Miyako is gaining and corner carry she has, you should be able to use AD > dodge mixup quite often.
8. Backdash. Pretty bad backdash, slow and doesn't go very far. Doesn't jump so if opponent catches you they get full combo. She does funny roll though.

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.

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.

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, so use it as much as possible in combos! Note that against an airborne opponent, it wall slams.

Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 800 - 75% N, SP, EX, (J) LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 8 5 17 -7 7.0% Clash 7-12 A rising uppercut. This normal is a mixed bag. It doesn't have much horizontal range, it doesn't hit low, and it has a kind of weird hitbox; however, it's great for anti-air. Your character hitbox is very low and your attack hitbox is rather high during the attack, so you can poke out of a lot of jump-ins with it.

This move is pretty much exactly like F moon's 2B. Except with more active frames and damage. It has pretty fast startup, it's neutral on block, and it gives a guaranteed knockdown. This is easily one of H moon's best normals. Use it for tech punishes and resets during pressure strings.

j.A	Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 300 115 75% (O) SE, N, SP, EX, J LHA First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 5 4 10 - 2.1% - A downward angled jab. It's basically the same as 2A, but in the air. It's fast, so it's great for air-to-air counter hitting.

j.B

j.B

Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 700 364 90% N, SP, EX, J HA First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 7 7 - - 4.9% - A palm strike to both sides. 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.

j.C

This move is just plain bad. It launches, but it has horrible multiplicative proration. This move has only 2 purposes. 1 is that it is a panic confirm, as Miyako can super jump cancel it by holding 8 and confirm into air combo. 2 is that Miyako can do AD right after it. It's the only way to do it without wall slams or bounces.

Therefore you have to combo it. You can combo it after a wall slam in the corner, or after 6C midscreen. In the corner, it can be used to setup ambiguous left right situation, as it pulls enemy out of corner a bit. You can then use dodge to get behind the enemy.
