Melty Blood/MBAACC/Shiki Ryougi

Introduction

Melty Blood's dedicated "rekka" character. Ryougi is generally considered to be anywhere from the upper middle to the weaker end of Melty's roster, but still more than capable. Ryougi has good long-ranged normals, and in all of her moons her rekka series is a simple, powerful way to apply pressure, confirm combos, and control space. Unfortunately, besides taking a huge risk on a parry, Ryougi generally has very poor defensive options, even with meter, and must always be working to stay in control at a good range lest she get overwhelmed. If they get in or whiff punish one of your big sweeping normals, she can die in a flash. Great frame trap pressure with long strings, and she’s got some pretty quick air movement to keep opponents afraid of getting counterhit by her air normals.

Moon Overview

Moon Style	Description
Crescent	Has a unique "Genei Jin" super and the most unblockable attacks. Good high damage confirms with meter and great ability to confirm hits Nice selection of knowledge checks and gimmicks to catch the opponent off guard The only Ryougi moon with an air-actionable j.A Lacks strong mix-up and has the weakest grounded normals for playing neutral of the three moons, but her air neutral is among the best in the game.
Half	Focused on throwing and catching the knife (22X), which cancels your airdash momentum for mix-ups. Only moon with knife auto-pickup, all you have to do is crouch on top of knife, further strengthening the utility of 22X. Strongest blockstrings with great normals (improved from C), but lacks a real mix-up. The only Ryougi with no unblockable attacks. EX knife throw can be used as a pressure tool or as an emergency reversal. The only moon that can catch the knife in midair after being thrown, which is as stylish as it sounds. Has a corner knife loop for okizeme, damage, and meter. The most execution-heavy version, with lots of technical loops. A difficult but stylish character overall.
Full	The parry and rekka moon. Has an extra set of parries for added versatility, although it still requires a hard read. Good rekka followups, simple and powerful normals that can really control space. Certain rekka follow-ups can be charged to create frame traps and guarantee frame advantage. The most straightforward moon, this is a great character for beginning players due to her simple and powerful gameplan.
