Kamio Misuzu (EFZ)

Introduction

Kamio Misuzu (神尾 観鈴) is a strong but tricky character who fights using traps, poisons, and her trusted crow Sora. She has excellent range for her normal moves, and her traps are good at catching reckless opponents unawares.

Misuzu is actually the main heroine of AIR, a visual novel produced by Key in 2000. Misuzu is a school girl in the town where the story takes place. She is a cheerful, slightly clumsy girl, and has a great love of both dinosaurs and pulpy-peach juice. She lives in an isolated house with her mother Haruko, who doesn't play with her or even cook for her, and who finds drinking as her main joy in life. During AIR, Yukito becomes close friends with Misuzu, as they struggle together against a supernatural curse that has continued for 1000 summers...

Stage: In Front of the Kamio House (神尾家前)

BGM: Blue Sky (青空)

Character-Specific Notes

• Misuzu is able to air jump once, and air dash/backstep once. Once Misuzu has air dashed/backstepped, she cannot perform any more air jumps.
• Misuzu's ground dash is actually an air dash that moves forward and slightly up. Therefore, Misuzu does not have any dashing attacks. Any attacks she does during her "ground" dash will be considered jumping attacks.
• Misuzu's ground backstep is actually an air backstep that moves backward and up.
• Misuzu's ground dashes/backsteps do not actually count as air dashes/backsteps, so she is free to jump or dash/backstep at the end of her "ground" dash/backstep.
• When Misuzu manages to curse an opponent, the opponent will have a pale blue aura, and a "Time" gauge will appear under her life gauge. This time gauge displays the amount of time remaining on the curse. A full gauge will take 15 seconds to completely drain. However, the opponent can end the curse prematurely by landing a hit on Misuzu. While the opponent is cursed, they will slowly lose life at a rate determined by the level of the curse, which is not displayed. The maximum curse level is 5. Curse damage ignores all damage and defence scaling modifiers. However, the opponent cannot be killed by curse damage.
• When Misuzu does her "Fate" move, a feather will appear above her SP gauge. She can hold a maximum of 3 feathers. The number of feathers represent the number of times Misuzu can call Yukito forth.
