You know how I said that I'll be taking a few Melty Blood mechanics for Series Abilities? Well, this is one of them. The Shield FX is actually my own idea because the source game apparently is five layers of very complicated effects and that's a bit much even for me. https://streamable.com/2ewn6

https://streamable.com/5g9j8 Since Mai was the last EFZ character for the while has been released, this will be the unveiling of my next WIP. This time, I'll be tackling a Melty Blood character that I personally enjoy playing in the source game and the thought of making her in my own style has lingered for a while. With the introduction of Series Abilities, Miyako will retain a few Melty Blood mechanics while converting her in my own custom style.

Quick update to address a few minor bugs... - Fixed float glitch after successful air throw. - Fixed bug that made Hope ignore Spell Bonus.

Quick fix update involving a serious gamebreaking bug... - Fixed reverse damage scaling bug that caused it to trigger twice upon activating Combo Blast.

Mai Kawasumi is out.

Also requesting to add Mai Kawasumi by Nep Heart. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvDqTmHZ37DiiAJCxYQblp0-Ovxf?e=BQaKfg

Hunting demons in the night to protect those she love, a misunderstood girl, Mai Kawasumi cuts her way into MUGEN. This was a 2 month project and I hadn't really expected it to take this long, but it's definitely worth the effort in polishing her complexity to be streamlined with the rest of the cast and the recent updates they have. As mentioned before, this will be the last EFZ character for a while since I'll be moving on to different series as for now. Download her in the link below: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvDqTmHZ37DiiAJCxYQblp0-Ovxf?e=BQaKfg

Mai slays some demons.

Last showcase video before Mai is released this month.

https://streamable.com/7pnpg Lookin' a little DBZ there.

THIZ Sanae by RicePigeon - 2 Kirby by OHMSBY - 3

https://streamable.com/3rvkn granted, if you even allowed her set up all these conditions in the first place, you probably deserved it.

I keep forgetting to bring this up, but all versions of Scatter can destroy most forms of projectiles.

I figured with the PotS craze coming back to churn out at full force, Mai comes in to cut them down to size.

A more extensive look at Mai's gameplay.
