Gameplay

Ushiwakamaru (often referred to as Ushi) is a new character to Melty Blood, released as free DLC alongside The Count of Monte Cristo on December 15, 2022. Ushi is described as a speedy fighter who races freely across the field to take opponents by surprise, and she lives up to that description: moves such as her j.2A+B fastfall, Shukuchi (22X), or Shukuchi - Heavenly Steps (j.236X) give her tricky repositioning strategies, while Advance (236A) and both the charged and uncharged versions of Shin Swipe (236B) let her move in and go for pressure or advancing high-low mix, and other advancing moves like Utsumidori - Heavenly Blade Steps (214B) give her a strong punish option to catch careless buttons and continue her offense afterward.

However, this comes with the primary drawback of having a very low health value, exploitable gaps in her best neutral and pressure tools, and weaker rebeat pressure, requiring Ushi to risk a lot when it comes to committing to a plan of attack; adept opponents will take advantage of any mistakes with brutal punishment if they know what holes to look for.

Pick if you like

Avoid if you dislike

Diverse Air Movement: The main appeal of Ushi's toolkit; her ability to dart around the screen with her unique set of movement based tools like fastfall that let her hang around and run away from spaces other characters can only dream of doing as quickly. She can feel impossible to catch in conjunction with Melty's universal movement options Strong Mixup Potential: Ushi's entire kit is designed around her mixup, with fastfall fakeouts, mid-string mixups and even a stable left right straight off airthrow. Strong Pressure Extensions: Ushi has multiple ways to threaten meterless resets in her kit, between 236A~A and the myriad grounded jump cancellable specials she has. Good Punish Game: Ushi has many tools that she can use to punish opponents for being careless, such as an advancing low lariat in 236B, and a very difficult to contest 4BC. She also possesses the only air arc drive in the game, which is both fullscreen and one of the only truly invincible air moves in the game, allowing her to contest certain things from the air that no other character can.

Bad Defense: Ushi's 11,000 health is the second lowest health pool in the game; along with having a 6F 2A and no DP, gives her way less room for error than a majority of the game's cast. High Commitment: Most of Ushi's good neutral and pressure tools carry huge risk in terms of unfavourable frame data and large contestable gaps, which isn't helped in the least by her best pokes extending her hurtbox considerably BEFORE the attack box is out, making poking with even her best tools a nightmare. Bad Rebeat Pressure: While Ushi does have some pressure resets, her normal strings beyond 2A carry with them bad frame data and horrible pushback, and make it very difficult to actually threaten throw. This means that she's constantly having to rely on her pressure reset options, which aren't nearly good enough to compensate.

Story & Profile

Charismatic and with flawless beauty, Ushiwakamaru runs free in the city of the future

The youthful form of the swordsman who later stunned the world as Minamoto no Yoshitsune.
Her Servant Class is Rider.

Training to become a samurai at a young age, she met the onmyoji Kiichi Hougen and was granted the arts of war. With the arts of war added to her natural physical abilities and skill with the blade, she grew into a peerless wrrior.
However, this caused her elder brother, Minamoto no Yorimoto, to distrust her and her life came to a tragic end alongside her retainer Benkei.

In battle, Ushiwakamaru dashes about with few restrictions, making dazzling use of her versailitiy. However, in some situations she is prone to saying "It all ends if the enemy general falls." forcing her master and mash to dash after her.

Once she was summoned as a Heroic Spirit, the focus of her interest has been in the Japan of the 21st century, instead of Chaldea. And then, before her stood a tiny, half-human, half-cat, creature with mysterious origins... It is the opening of a new chapter of The Wandering Tale of Shana-oh.

Unique Traits

---

Fastfall

Ushi's aerial movement options outclass every other cast member's. Between j.236A/B, Shukuchi - Heavenly Steps, and j.2A+B, Ushi has many invincible fastfalling specials, used to either land safely or overwhelm the opponent with often-uncontestable movement. These fastfalling specials are also the core of Ushi's okizeme gameplan, making the opponent guess between various left/rights, reacting to overheads, or committing to throw.
