Gameplay Overview
Normals
Standing
- st. A (-1F): Meitenkun throws out a soft looking swipe. Can be used to stop incoming hops at a close range. Is Super (MAX) and Climax cancel-able only.
- st. B (-1F): This very quick sliding toe kick hits low & can't chain or cancel into anything. It also moves Meitenkun forward a bit.
- st. C (-6F): A very strong & fast pillow swing. Covers a great horizontal distance, & is special, whiff, and command cancel-able.
- st. D (1F): This side kick has very brief lower body invincible during the start, moves Meitenkun forward, & can be used as an preemptive anti-air. Is Super (MAX) and Climax cancel-able only.
Close
- cl. A (+2F): A cancel-able elbow that can be chain into cr. A, cr. B & st. B.
- cl. B (0F): This kick aimed at the opponent's mid-section is cancel-able.
- cl. C (-4F): Meitenkun hugs his pillow while delivering a fierce headbutt that is cancel-able.
- cl. D (-8F): This cancel-able heavy kick deals more damage than cl. C & can be used to stop opponents from jumping over you.
Crouching
- cr. A (+2F): This decently ranged crouching light punch can be chained easily into cr. A, cr. B, st. B, and cl. B. It is cancel-able and strangely whiff cancel-able as well.
- cr. B (+1F): This crouching kick doesn't slide against the ground like most crouching light kicks but has decent range & speed. Can be easily chained into cr. A, cl. B, cl. A, st. A, st. B and is special cancel-able. Hits low.
- cr. C (-6F): Meitenkun sweeps the opponent with his pillow. Great range, decent speed & is special cancel-able. Hits low and it can be whiff canceled as well.
- cr. D (-2F): This crouching heavy kick can be used as an anti-air at a close to mid-range. It can be canceled into Specials (MAX) and Climax.
Jumping
- j. A: This jumping punch has a downward angle that can used as a jump-in attack, and is special cancel-able.
- j. B: A horizontal kick that can be used in air-to-air situations. Can be low profiled by very low sweeps and crouching light kicks if timed improperly. Special cancel-able.
- j. C: Can be used either in air-to-air situations or air-to-ground if performed low to the ground.
- j. D: This jumping heavy kick is almost similar to jumping C in range and applicable use.
Blowback
- st. CD: Meitenkun flips his pillow quickly, catches it, then horizontally thrusts it at the opponent. Great range, speed & is whiff cancel-able.
- j. CD: Meitenkun curls up into a ball while in the air. Great air-to-air attack and now a great air-to-ground attack as well.

Special Moves
Makura Nage - (qcb + A/C)
- Meitenkun throws a slow illuminated pillow at the opponent.
- Light punch (A) version travels horizontally
- Heavy punch (C) version travels upward, diagonally
- The slow movement of the projectile for both angles makes it a very useful neutral zoning tool.
EX: A very fast horizontal pillow that negates fireballs, and puts the opponent in a juggle state if bit.
Sen-Siss Hou - (charge briefly back, then forward+A/C)
- Meitenkun rushes forward with a fierce thrust punch. Has good start-up speed but has no invincibility. Very unsafe on block.
- This move has 3 levels depending on how long you charge back. First level is the quickest charge that travels half-screen distance & does 70 damage. The second level is a 2 second charge that travels at a 3/4th screen distance and does 80 damage. The longest charge is around 3/5 seconds where Meitenkun don't travel full-screen but lands directly next to the opponent if they are separated screen corner to corner & does 100 damage.
- Soft knockdown
EX: Much faster start-up, uses the level 1 charge time, safer on block, puts the opponent in a juggle state
- Sen-Siss Hou (Follow Up) - (A/C)
- This punch follow-up knocks the opponent away a fair amount from Meitenkun. Not safe on block but has a good amount of push-back away from the opponent. Some characters can easily punish this follow-up and others have more trouble.
Geki Hou - (charge briefly down, then up+A/C)
- Energy briefly surrounds Meitenken while he stands up straight.
- Has two levels depending on charge time. Level 1 is the quickest charge time: has no invincibility, but has fast start-up & does 80 damage. Level 2 is a 2/3 second charge time: has brief invincibility, & more range. Both versions are unsafe on block.
- Can negate projectiles
- Best used during combos or as strictly an anti-air at a close range.
EX: More damage, more range (horizontally & vertically), faster start-up, puts the opponent in a juggle state.
Ressen Kyaku - (qcb + B/D) in the air
- Meitenkun performs rapid lighting kicks in the air
- The light kick (B) version does 3 hits (depending on jump height) while the heavy kick version can do up to 5 hits, while braking Meitenken slightly in the air before moving towards the opponent.
EX: Faster start-up, travels similar to the heavy kick version but has a longer distance and does more damage and hits. Also puts the opponent in a juggle-able state.
Super Special Moves
Chou Geki Hou - (qcf, qcf + P)
- Meitenkun jumps straight up in the air, then unleashes a quick, large burst of yellow energy around him (looks like a gold psych burst).
