Amano Mishio (EFZ)

Introduction

Amano Mishio (天野 美汐) is a spear master who can enhance her attacks with the twin elements of Flame and Thunder. Her spear gives her excellent range whether on the ground or in the air. However, she can normally access only half of her special movelist with an element, and without an element she has very few special moves to work with.

Mishio is actually a supporting character of Kanon, a visual novel produced by Key in 1999. She is a first-year student at the high school that Yuiichi attends. She acts cold and unfriendly, and scares away her classmates. However, Yuiichi discovers that she seems to know a lot more about Makoto than she should be able to know. During Kanon, when Makoto's condition worsens and Yuiichi confronts Mishio, she warns him about his future and what it means for a "miracle" to be realized...

Stage: Monomi Hill (ものみの丘)

BGM: Sea of Mist (霧海) + the fox and the grapes

Character-Specific Notes

• Mishio is able to air jump once, and air dash/backstep once.
• Mishio has one of the slowest walks and ground dashes in the game. Use the air dash instead if you need to get anywhere fast.
• Mishio's current element allows her to access a subset of her moves. She gains element from connecting certain non-element moves (typically her "Round Moon" move), and loses element from completing certain element-based moves.
• There is a black circle just above Mishio's SP gauge, indicating her current element. A red "炎" symbolizes the Flame element, a blue "雷" symbolizes the Thunder element, and a red and blue "覚" symbolizes her Awakened state (she gains both elements). If it is empty, she currently has no element. Her current element (if any) can also be determined by the colour of sparks being emitted from her body.
• If Mishio uses her "Fantasy Beast Sky Fox Summoning" move, she will glow a golden colour and gain her Awakened state, giving her the power of both elements. A "Time" gauge will appear below her life gauge, indicating the time left before her Awakened state disappears. While Mishio has both elements, she can perform essentially every move on her movelist.

  • This is a decent multi-hit attack that chips well and pushes the opponent away.

  • [usefulness]
• C version:
  • Mishio dashes half the screen with a multi-hit shoulder tackle. If the tackle hits the opponent, she then stabs out 7 times with her spear in rapid succession. Once the recovery time for this move runs out without interruption, Mishio will lose her Flame element.

Final Memory

Fantasy Beast Sky Fox Summoning (幻獣天狐招来)

• Mishio powers up with a nine-tailed shockwave, hitting anyone closeby. She then enters the Awakened state, which gives her unlimited access to both elements, for an entire 15 seconds. Inputting the command is a bit tricky, since it won't work if done too quickly. An alternative input would be BB25CA, where the 5 signifies a slight pause in your input.
