Kawana Misaki (EFZ)

Introduction

Kawana Misaki (川名 みさき) is a solid and mobile character who attacks with the power of wind. Her speed gives her an excellent rushdown game, and the Guard Attack property she gains on a few of her moves gives her a counter-attack that's impossible to RG if used right.

Misaki is actually one of the heroines of ONE, a visual novel produced by Tactics in 1998. She is a 3rd grade student in the same school as Kouhei. A girl with cold eyes but a warm smile, Misaki became blind due to an event that occured in the past. She enjoys talking to others since that is the only way she can get to know other people. Kouhei first met her on the roof of the school during sunset. During ONE, [SINGLE VAGUE SENTENCE]...

Stage: Sunset Rooftop (夕焼けの屋上)

BGM: Appearance is a young lady (見た目はお嬢様)

Character-Specific Notes

• Misaki is able to air jump once, and air dash/backstep once. Once Misaki has air dashed/backstepped, she cannot perform any more air jumps until she lands or air recovers.

Down Burst (ダウンバースト)

• A version:
  • Misaki raises her hand high, and then brings it down, creating a huge column of swirling wind directly below her.
  • A really good super. It can easily be used in combos and in mixups. If the opponent has to block the whole thing, then Misaki actually recovers faster than her opponent does.
• B version:
  • Same as A version, but lasts longer.
  • [usefulness]
• C version:
  • Same as B version, but lasts even longer.

Strategy, Tactics, and Combos

Combos

Misaki's BnB combo: (close) 2ABBC [IC] 66A 5B (into air loop).

Misaki's midscreen air loop: j.B [airdash] j.AB (repeat).

Misaki's corner air loop: j.B [airdash] j.BC [land] 5BC (repeat).

Mixing with j.B

Misaki's j.B normal is one of her best crossup moves. If you get a knockdown, you can do an IAD over the opponent while they are waking up and use the j.B. The crossup will be completely ambiguous depending on how you timed your dash.
