Notes:

• CH Damage and stun is calculated by multiplying base values by 1.2. For multi-hitting moves this usually only applies to first hit; if only second hit connects it will get the x1.2 benefits.
• For Crush Counters: J = Juggle, C = Crumple, KD = Knockdown
• Chip damage for normals refers to grey life inflicted

Combos

Unique Mechanics

By using her Soul Sphere special, Menat throws her orb forward leaving it somewhere on the screen. LP throws it low, MP mid, HP higher up. After Menat places the orb on screen, all of her punch normals and HK normals will be changed with "orbless" versions, usually resulting in less range but better frame advantage for better combo opportunities. Certain normals with the orb will cause the next attack to be done as the orbless version as well if done immediately after; after a jump HK the orb will float slightly and a follow-up HK will be the no-orb version, letting her get a more damaging jump in combo than she normally would. She can recall the orb at any time, where it can hit opponents on the way back. If Menat is hit while the orb is returning, it loses its hitbox. The orb needs to physically move from its current position back to Menat, meaning it takes longer to get back if Menat is on the other side of the stage from the orb than it does if it's one a forward dash away. For the orb recall, she can also cancel into it from many normals such as d+HK and f+MK which are normally not special cancelable, allowing longer combos.

V System

V Reversal

An escape type V-Reversal, Menat does a quick teleport behind the opponent. It has long recovery and if not done a heavier attack she may be punished for it.

V Skill 1

Soul Reflect causes Menat to create a shield in front her which is capable of reflecting any non-EX projectile, including multi-hitting projectiles such as Akuma's and Kage's red fireballs, back at her opponent when she has her orb. Without the orb, Menat can only absorb single hit projectiles rather than reflecting them back. Both versions build V-Gauge when used. The move also has a hitbox and is used in many of her basic combos (LK xx VS1 for 3f punish, crHP xx QCF+LP, VS1 xx QCF+P, DP+K for crush counter combo), with the hitbox being larger when Menat has her orb but giving worse advantage on hit/larger disadvantage on block. Pressing MP+MK has Menat perform Soul Reflect: Kamal where she creates the shield in front of her, while d+MP+MK has her perform Soul Reflect: Stella where she crouches down and create it at an angle above her.

V Skill 2

Soul Spiral has Menat lunge forward and stick her hand out in a move reminiscent of her master. The move is much slower than her VS1 meaning she cannot combo into it from her light attacks, however she is able to from many of her orbless normals. While she has the orb, she can absorb a single hit projectile during the active frames though it doesn't build any V-Gauge. Both versions are incredibly unsafe, even if spaced at max range to hit on later active frames. Soul Sprial can be canceled into Soul Spark or orb recall, for increased combo damage or to force an easy mixup situation if the orb recall is close enough.

V Trigger 1

Wisdom of Thoth is a 3 bar V-Trigger that causes Menat to summon 6 small projectiles around her. Each orb corresponds to an attack button: the top 2 are light punch/light kick, middles are medium punch/kick, and bottom are heavy punch/kick. When a attack button is released (not pressed down) the corresponding orb will fly at the opponent, dealing a small amount of damage. The light attack orbs can only hit airborne opponents if performed from a standing position, but can hit grounded opponents if done from the air or crouching. The orbs can also be released at any time Menat is not in a combo or knocked down, making them great defensive tools as well to force an opponent to let off their pressure. While difficult to master, this V-Trigger gives Menat access to some of the most damaging combos and tricky left/right mixups in the game when learned correctly.

V Trigger 2

Prophecy of Thoth is a 2 bar V-Trigger that causes Menat to summon 6 orbs around her like her V-Trigger 1. However rather than being tied to attack buttons she gains access to a new special move, Judgement of Thoth, performed with QCB+P. Each attack button releases the orbs in a different firing arc, and consumes 50% of her total V-Trigger when used. By pressing HP+HK again, she can reload a second set for no V-Gauge, meaning she gets access to two sets total if used quickly. While it does not grant the mixup potential VT1 does, the damage when used in combos can be quite high and it is much easier to learn and get started with.
