80B: DFRP - Dueling Digis

MPC Name: Show Me Your Moves!
MPC #: 80B
Reward: Bits

Character Breakdown: Honoka Nijimura is a character from DFRP. While she's kind and friendly to others, she's also incredibly strict and disciplined and won't allow for much tomfoolery. She's the most strict and critical of herself, however, which just makes her all the more disciplined. She's a spirit user of three fairy Digimon, Lili the Lillymon, Lulu the Kazemon, and Lala the Ranamon, who were an all Digimon Pop Idol group called Beauty of Nature during their lifetime. Honoka's perhaps wound a little too tight sometimes, but her spirits can help her to relax, if they're not actively aggravating her. In the game, Honoka can freely swap in between each of her Human Spirit Forms.
Character Weight: Honoka's weight differs from form to form. Lili and Lala are a little lighter than average, but Lulu's the lightest character in the game. 
Character Speed: Honoka's speed differs from form to form. As Lili, she's an average speed character. As Lulu, she's the fastest character in the game, and as Lala, she's the third-slowest character.
Character Jump Height: Again, Honoka's Spirit form determines the jump height. Lili and Lulu have a great jump height, but Lala is extremely lacking in aerial mobility.

Special Traits/Fighting Style: Honoka swaps between her three spirits, Lillymon, Kazemon, and Ranamon during combat. Her playstyle is altered drastically by each form. Lillymon is a balanced all-around character, with incredibly launch potential, Kazemon is an ultra-fast rushdown character that can set up fierce combos but suffers defensively, and Ranamon is a slow but strong projectile user, able to keep her foes at a distance. 

Moveset

Jab:
Lili - Honoka throws out a weak punch that leads into a spinning kick.
Lulu - Honoka punches forward, connecting into a flurry of kicks.
Lala - Honoka throws out a singular punch that knocks the opponent back a little.
Side Tilt:
Lili - Honoka kicks outward. Decent knockback.
Lulu - Honoka upwards, knocking the opponent up a little. Great for enabling a follow-up aerial.
Lala - Honoka lets loose a sonic shout that pushes the enemy away but deals little damage.
Up Tilt:
Lili - Honoka does a flip kick that launches enemies behind her. Can potentially combo into a kill move.
Lulu - Honoka kicks upward, dealing little knockback allowing it to be used consecutively to accumulate damage.
Lala - Honoka swings her arms up in a wave-like motion, throwing her enemy behind her.
Down Tilt:
Lili - Honoka performs a sweeping kick that knocks the enemy up into the air just a bit. Good for connecting into an aerial.
Lulu - Honoka does a low kick that brings the opponent a little bit above her. Can connect into her up-tilt attack.
Lala - Honoka throws out a splash of water that deals no damage but pushes the enemy back a little. Good for exploiting vertical recoveries.
Dash Attack:
Lili - Honoka charges forward with her arms crossed and covered in sunlight energy. Can kill at high percents.
Lulu - Honoka swings forward with her tush to knock the enemy off their balance. Low damage and knockback, but a decent amount of hitstun.
Lala - Honoka does a cartwheel that knocks away any nearby enemy. Decent range but little power. 

Neutral Air:
Lili - Twirls around in midair to knock away all nearby enemies.
Lulu - Kicks forward, then kicks backward. The backward kick has greater power and knockback.
Lala - Lets out a flurry of sonic strikes that drag an opponent down as Honoka falls.
Forward Air:
Lili - A single kick forward. High initial launch power but doesn't scale well with percent.
Lulu - Two consecutive midair kicks. The second kick has higher launch power, but is hard to connect when opponent is at high percents.
Lala - Unleashes a shockwave in midair. Goes a out a decent distance, but doesn't have much kill potential.
Back Air:
Lili - A two-footed dropkick. High kill potential. 
Lulu - A spinning kick backward. High kill potential. 
Lala - A short-range shockwave that can kill. 
Up Air:
Lili - A flipkick.
Lulu - A multi-hit drill kick.
Lala - A short burst of water.
Down Air:
Lili - An axe kick with a meteor effect.
Lulu - An elbow drop with a fast start-up time.

Up Smash:
Lili - A cartwheel kick. High kill potential.
Lulu - A spinning kick with high kill potential at extremely high percents.
Lala - A long-range shockwave upward.
Down Smash:
Lili - A split-kick that goes out both directions.
Lulu - A handstand spinning kick with a long-lasting hitbox that goes out both directions.
Lala - A splash of water in both directions, knocking the opponent upwards.

Neutral Special: Transform - Honoka can swap between her three spirit forms using this. By pressing the special button and letting go, Honoka will transform into Lillymon. By pressing the special button and rotating the control stick clockwise, Honoka will transform into Kazemon. Similarly, a counterclockwise rotation of the control stick will transform Honoka into Ranamon. When transforming, there's a momentary invincibility, but the start-up of this technique is easily exploitable, so it's best to transform a good distance away from your opponent. While in a form, transforming into the same form will activate their specific special ability.

Sunlight Booster - As Lillymon, Honoka will cover herself in sunlight energy, giving herself a boost to her damage and knockback. This effect only lasts for one attack, however, and only lasts for ten seconds.

Kaleidoscopic Booster - As Kazemon, a rainbow light surrounds her as Honoka's attack speed and mobility increase a great deal, but she takes a great deal more damage in turn. This effect only last for ten seconds. 

Aquaria Stage - As Ranamon, Water surrounds her as Honoka's movement speed increases a great deal, and she takes less damage from attacks. This effect lasts for ten seconds.

Side Special:
Lili - Sunshine Cannon - Honoka fires off a burst of sunlight energy that knocks the opponent off from a distance. This can be charged into Sunshine Double Cannon by holding down the button. 
Lulu - Prismatic Strike - Honoka charges forward with a sliding kick. The start up has invincibility frames.
Lala - Staccato Rain - Honoka lets loose a flurry of soundwaves across the stage. They don't have much killpower, but they have a high hitstun.
Up Special:
Lili - Flower Step - Honoka summons a giant flower that she jumps off of to gain even greater distance. Honoka is not in special fall after using this move, but she can't use this ability again until she lands or gets hit.
Lulu - Chromatic Mirage - Honoka suddenly darts up into the air a great deal. She's invincible for the course of her ascent, but goes into special fall afterwards.
Lala - Aqua Jump - Honoka rockets towards any direction you choose, but is vulnerable to attacks while doing so. If used on the ground, nearby enemies are pushed away.
Down Special: 
Lili - Floral Shield - Honoka summons a flower shield that blocks an attack. It burst into several flower petals as well, damaging any nearby enemies a little bit.
Lulu - Rainbow Ribbon - Honoka twirls a ribbon of rainbows around her body that deflects projectile attacks and knocks away nearby enemies.
Lala - Fortissimo Shout - Creates a barrier that blocks attacks and pushes enemies away.

Grab: Standard Grab for each form. Quick start-up, but short reach. The pummel is a simply slap attack.
Forward Throw:
Lili - Honoka kicks forward.
Lulu - Honoka flips forward and throws them.
Lala - Honoka lets out a shout to knock them forward.
Back Throw:
Lili - Honoka suplexes the enemy backwards.
Lulu - Honoka rolls backwards and throws them.
Lala - Honoka pushes them backwards, and launches them away with a blast of water.
Up Throw:
Lili - Honoka uppercuts the enemy upwards.
Lulu - Honoka kicks the opponent upwards with a high kick.
Lala - Honoka shoots them upwards with a stream of water.
Down Throw:
Lili - Honoka flips them onto the ground and knocks them away.
Lulu - Honoka dropkicks them and they bounce a little into the air for an aerial follow-up.
Lala - Honoka sends a shockwave downwards that throws them up a little.

Side Taunt: Honoka reverts back to her human form for a second to take a breather.
Up Taunt: Honoka stretches out her limbs for a couple seconds. 
Down Taunt: Honoka dances around in place a bit as if no one were watching.

Overall Summary and Tier Placement: Because of her sheer versatility, Honoka is considered a top-tier all-around. Her Kazemon form is by far preferred for her speed and damage potential, but the fact that she can transform into Lillymon with far more kill power is a godsend, as the Kazemon struggles to kill. Ranamon is considered sub-par, however, and almost never used. Critics constantly call for Honoka's Kazemon form to get nerfed, while her fans want Ranamon's form to get buffed.

Character Breakdown: Arissa Melodie Moreau is a young woman from DFRP. She can come across as a bit of a goofy ditz at times, but in actuality, she's can be quite perceptive, if a little too independent at times. She's fond of taking other people out of their comfort zone by getting perhaps a little too close to them, but she ultimately means well and just wants to have meaningful relationships with almost anyone she finds interesting. Her Digimon partner is Paps, a Morphomon that's far more focused and straight-laced than his partner, as he constantly attempts, and often fails, to keep his human partner grounded.
Character Weight: Arissa may look like a dainty light-weight, but she's actually a mid-weight character that's much harder to kill than she appears. As it turns out, she's quite persistent and getting rid of her can be rather difficult.
Character Speed: Arissa isn't an athletic person, and she's rather slow as a result. She's tied with Nanami for the second-slowest character in the came when moving on the ground. Her aerial movement is an entirely different story, however. Paps helps her in the air, so her aerial drift is one of the fastest in the game.
Character Jump Height: Arissa excels in the air thanks to the help of her partner. She has a high jump height, as well as two midair jumps. In fact, Arissa's a character that is almost always in the air. Thankfully for her, the game runs has a magical skirts.

Special Traits/Fighting Style: Arissa is mainly an aerial fighter, preferring to attack in the air rather than rely on her slow ground speed. Thanks to Paps, Arissa has some ground-based gimmicks, but a fast rushdown character could easily overcome them. As such, Arissa can be a rather campy character, attacking the enemy with retreating aerials and forcing her opponents to follow her in the air, where she reigns supreme.

Moveset

Jab: Arissa slaps the opponent across the face, then follows up with a backhand. This animation repeats itself.
Side Tilt: Paps flies forward and rams the enemy with a headbutt.
Up Tilt: Paps floats up and knocks the enemy upwards.
Down Tilt: Arissa throws out a low kick that doesn't have much damage or knockback. 
Dash Attack: Arissa and Paps grab onto each other and ram the enemy full-force. It's still fairly weak.

Neutral Air: Arissa kicks out ahead of her. It's a fast hitbox that doesn't deal much damage and next to no knockback.
Forward Air: Arissa slaps the opponent downward in an attempt to dunk the enemy. Unfortunately, this isn't a meteor effect. 
Back Air: Arissa twirls around in mid air and throws out a kick behind her. This move has a ridiculously stupid amount of range and has way too little end lag for its own good. 
Up Air: Paps swings Arissa up as she kicks the opponent up. At early percent this attack can chain with itself.
Down Air: Paps rockets downward, allowing Arissa to fall back to the ground at a high speed and slight angle. She delivers a kick as she plummets down.

Side Smash: Paps unleashes a powerful headbutt that knocks the opponent away a great deal.
Up Smash: Arissa and Paps simultaneously strike the enemy upwards.
Down Smash: Paps plummets down to the ground with a headbonk, causing a burying effect if it connects. It's got an extremely slow start-up.

Neutral Special: Azure Dream Wing - Paps Digivolves to Hudiemon and unleashes a powerful blast of energy. This move has a slow start-up time, but is incredibly powerful if it connects. 
Side Special: Mur de Feu - Paps Armor Digivolves to Shadramon and unleashes a violent streak of flames outward. It doesn't have much knockback, but the lingering hit boxes of the flames can cause a great deal of damage.
Up Special: Flying Kick - Paps Digivolves to Hudiemon and sends a kick upward, giving Arissa a bit more of a recovery option. She doesn't enter special fall after using this attack, but she can't use any special moves until she either lands or gets hit. 
Down Special: Honey Trap - Paps Armor Digivolves to Butterflymon and sends out a short-ranged globule of honey that freezes an enemy in place if it hits. 

Grab: Paps flies out and holds the enemy in place for Arissa. Short reach and not a quick grab, either. Their pummel is a simple slap across the face.
Forward Throw: Arissa gives the enemy a shove, and Paps flips around to throw them away. Not very effective damage or knockback-wise.
Back Throw: Arissa grabs them and hurls them backward, assisted by Paps. Like the forward throw, this move isn't entirely effective. 
Up Throw: Arissa simply points up, and Paps hurls the enemy up as far as he can. Which isn't very far, unfortunately. 
Down Throw: Paps pushes them to the ground, and Arissa stomps on them with the heel of her boot. The most damaging throw she has, but still not very strong.

Side Taunt: Arissa grabs Paps and gives him a kiss on the cheek, much to Paps's dismay.
Up Taunt: Arissa simply chuckles politely as she goes into a giggling fit, interrupted by Paps clearing his throat. 
Down Taunt: Paps begins to paint on a canvas, while Arissa simply tilts her head in confusion.

Overall Summary and Tier Placement: Overall, Arissa is considered a high-tier character if given a stage that lets her roam through the air with ease. If forced to be grounded, she tends to be one of the weaker characters, however. Still, there are dedicated Arissa simps mains that swear that she has a spot for being the best character in the game, however. Because of the dissonance of her popularity, Arissa is always getting buffed or nerfed every patch update, making her fluctuate a great deal on the tier list. Still, the dedicated Arissa mains continue to play her, and perhaps may be the most patient players in the game, despite her lame play-style.

Character Breakdown: Sakura Shinryuji is an Xros General and former student of her family's martial arts dojo. A kenpo expert, she suffered a traumatic beatdown and has been afraid to fight ever since. Even so, with the help of her Xros partners, a group of vaguely dragonic buddies give her the courage she needs to at least instruct them how to fight. Nowhere near an eccentric person, she sometimes has trouble keeping up with all the wild personalities of her partners, but she tries her best to be a grounded, stable source for her comrades when they need her most. While she's a relatively normal person, she'll sometimes reflexively hit someone with her family's ultimate move on accident if taken by surprise.  
Character Weight: Sakura is one of the lighter characters, unable to take very many hits from her enemies.
Character Speed: Thanks to her partner's support and her athleticism, Sakura is one of the faster characters on the roster, having the third highest ground speed among the roster.
Character Jump Height: Sakura can jump fairly high as well, though she's best suited for ground movement.

Special Traits/Fighting Style: Sakura uses her martial arts to her advantage by using weak but quick strikes to disrupt and combo her opponents. Her main attacks don't deal much damage, but a skilled player can use her speed to accumulate the opponent's percents fairly easily, then using her smash attacks and her specials to finish them off. For her smash attacks and special moves, Sakura relies on her partner's Xros forms.

Moveset

Jab: Sakura strikes out with a fast punch, followed by a slower but stronger fist, finished off by a fierce kick. Little power and barely any knockback, but her attacks are incredibly quick.
Side Tilt: Sakura strikes out with an elbow. It has a short reach, but it's surprisingly quick and has a decent knockback to it. There is a bit of end lag that's easily punishable if the attack misses, however.
Up Tilt: Sakura swings her leg above her to kick any opponent to the side or above her away. Good for keeping characters away.
Down Tilt: Sakura crouches down and does a quick sweeping strike that knocks the opponent up in hitstun in front of her. Can combo into her side tilt attack at low percents.
Dash Attack: Sakura jumps forward and performs a flying kick. Her hurtboxes shrink significantly as she does so, and her foot is a disjointed hitbox. Decent enough knockback, but nowhere near enough to be considered a kill move.

Neutral Air: Sakura performs a roundhouse kick in midair. It's fairly weak, but it can hit opponents on either side. 
Forward Air: Sakura flips in midair for an axe kick that knocks an opponent back a bit. Is only a kill move at extremely high percents.
Back Air: Sakura turns around and kicks behind her, knocking an opponent back enough to get some distance. Doesn't kill very well, however. 
Up Air: Sakura does a backflip, kicking the opponent up a little. It's low knockback can link the move into itself at almost any percent. 
Down Air: Sakura spins in place like a drill, making a multi-hit move with lingering hitboxes. Little to no knockback, but can accumulate damage fairly well.

Side Smash: Growlmon's Plasma Blade - Relying on the power of her partners, Sakura summons the X2 form of her partners Lancel and Bediver, Growlmon, to deliver a powerful blow ahead of her. High kill potential, and because it's from Growlmon, it's super disjointed. Pretty slow startup, though. 
Up Smash: Raidramon's Lightning Blade - Relying on the power of her partners, Sakura summons the X2 form of her partners, Artie and Trist, Raidramon, to deliver an electric horn attack upwards. High kill potential, and because it's from Raidramon, it's super disjointed. Pretty slow startup, though.
Down Smash: Dorugamon's Metal Talon - Relying on the power of her partners, Sakura summons the X2 form of her partners, Lancel and Yvan, Dorugamon, to deliver a powerful claw attack to both sides. Sends opponents flying outwards, but not a high kill potential unless at high percent. Super disjointed, and a slow startup.

Neutral Special: V-dramon's V-Breath Arrow - Artie and Bediver Xros into V-Dramon to fire a blast of blue flame straight forward. High damage, but low knockback.
Side Special: Geogreymon's Mega Flame - Lancel and Bediver Xros into Geogreymon to fire off a fireball. Low damage, but high knockback.
Up Special: - Raidramon's Blue Thunder - Artie and Trist Xros into Raidramon and leap up into the air in an arc of lightning. Damages anyone who comes into contact with them, but Sakura is left in Special Fall afterwards.
Down Special: Raptordramon's Metal Kick. Pelli and Gwayne Xros into Raptordramon and throw out a powerful kick ahead of Sakura. High knockback and power, but incredibly slow startup.

Grab: Sakura summons her partner Artie and Lan to grab the opponent for her. It's got a nice reach to it, but it's rather slow. Sakura pummels the enemy by striking them with her fist.
Forward Throw: Pellinor appears and rams the enemy with his bladed body, knocking them forward a bit.
Back Throw: Trist appears and hurls the enemy backward. High kill potential if at high percent, but low knockback when at low percent.
Up Throw: Bediver appears and uses his Baby Flame to shoot the enemy upwards. Little kill potential, but a bit of a lingering hitbox at low percent.
Down Throw: Yvan appears and bites the target and slams them into the ground, sending them bouncing up a little. Sakura can follow up at low percents.

Side Taunt: Sakura centers herself, only to get interrupted by a random partner.
Up Taunt: A random partner appears to climb onto Sakura's back, much to her dismay.
Down Taunt: All of Sakura's partners appear and pile on top of her, causing the poor girl to collapse.

Overall Summary and Tier Placement: Sakura is considered a candidate for the best character in the game, thanks to her mobility and quick attacks. Her killing moves are perhaps a little too predictable, however, and is rarely seen in high-level play. So even though Sakura sometimes struggles to find a kill, often times her benefits far outweigh her downsides.

Character Breakdown: Pepper and Snowflake are the partners of Reiko Suzuki, also known as Claire Thompson. Reiko is an Asian-American currently residing in Japan following her Japanese mother's passing. She's a struggling actress, looking to play bit roles in television dramas for the time being. While she seems cool and collected, underneath her icy facade is a nigh-ditzy woman that has all manner of crazy in her head. Her partners, Pepper the BlackGatomon and Snowflake the Gatomon serve as her guides to all things Digital. Pepper is serious and civilized and far more sociable, while Snowflake is far more uncaring and bestial. Together, they display both aspects of the Digital World to the 22-year-old.
Character Weight: Pepper and Snowflake are tied with Lulu's form of Honoka as the lightest characters in the game. Their small size helps mitigate this just a bit, however.
Character Speed: Pepper and Snowflake can move quickly, as they're the second-fastest characters in the game. 
Character Jump Height: While they're more focused on ground-based combat, the kitties have a bit of a jump to them. 

Special Traits/Fighting Style: Pepper and Snowflake fight together, with the player controlling one of the characters while the other is an AI that fights alongside you and mimics your inputs. They're lightweights so they tend to get killed fairly quickly, and their attacks have a fairly short range, so their entire defensive game revolves around their small size and fast movement speed. As such, their fighting style typically revolves around dashing in, comboing the opponent for a bit, and then running away before they can make their comeback. They don't deal much damage on their own, but when they both attack together, the damage gets doubles, so they're one of the most aggressive characters in the game. Both cats can take damage, however, and if the AI partner dies, then the other cat is left to fight alone. Unfortunately, because the AI partner follows behind the player's movements, she tends to be a step too slow and takes a bunch of unnecessary damage as a result. A good Pepper and Snowflake main has to anticipate the AI's movements when coming up with a strategy.

Moveset

Jab: Both cats swipe forward with a cat punch, followed by a flurry of scratches.
Side Tilt: Both cats scratch ahead of them with a comically oversized paw.
Up Tilt: Both cats swipe upward with their cute little kitty claws.
Down Tilt: Both cats twirl around and slap the ground underneath them with their fluffy tails. It's pretty adorable.
Dash Attack: The kitties roll forward and bash into anyone they meet. 

Neutral Air: Both kitties splay their limbs out and spin around, smacking anyone nearby. With the appropriate spacing, both kitties can sandwich the opponent to deal a great deal of damage. 
Forward Air: Both cats slash forward with their claws. Has a bit of kill potential at high percents.
Back Air: Both kitties spin around and swipe their claws behind them. With the AI partner, this move has a decent range to it. Can kill at high percents.
Up Air: Both cats perform a front flip in midair, swiping the enemy with their tails. If struck at a specific point of the swing, this move can actually spike an enemy downwards, making it handy for killing at relatively low percents.
Down Air: Both cats clasp their claws together and drill downward. They speed up as they do so, allowing them to mix up the timing of their descent. This attack can also deal a decent amount of damage due to the multi-hit nature.

Side Smash: Both kitties make a large swipe forward. Decent kill potential, but an unfortunately short range.
Up Smash: Both kitties swing upward, knocking the opponent of the top of the stage when they're at high percents. Short range, unfortunately, but good for dealing with encroaching aerial foes.
Down Smash: One cat swipes ahead of them, while the other swipes behind them. They attack simultaneously, so it's a decent move for reading a roll and punishing their predictable movement. Not a lot of kill power unless at high percents, unfortunately.

Neutral Special: Neko Punch! - Both cats swing forward with their claws. If both connect on the opponent, it deals a great deal of damage and knockback. If not, however, this attack deal next to nothing.
Side Special: Cat's Eye - Both cats fire a small burst of energy ahead of them. If both connect with the enemy, they're stunned for a bit, leaving them open to a powerful attack. This attack doesn't do anything when alone, however.
Up Special: Kitty Jump - Both cats turn the laws of physics into their litter box and make two dashing jumps in midair, allowing them to mix up their recoveries. If the AI cat is with the player's cat, they'll mimic whatever directions you choose, but if the AI cat is all alone, they'll recover using the shortest possible path.
Down Special: Kitty Barrier - The cats use their inherent cuteness to block an attack. If the enemy connects with their block, they respond violently by slashing them away with a vengeance.

Grab: Both cats reach ahead of them to grab their opponent. Fast, but incredibly short reach. Their pommel is a simply scratch of whatever cat isn't grabbing the opponent.
Forward Throw: The kitties grab the enemy together and toss them forward.
Back Throw: The kitties roll back together and chuck them backwards.
Up Throw: The kitties each grab a side and yeet their enemy upwards.
Down Throw: The kitties bash their enemies into the ground, knocking them away for a bit.

Side Taunt: One cat yawns, while the other... licks themself.
Up Taunt: Both cats wave at the camerage energetically.
Down Taunt: Both cats hiss in both directions.

Overall Summary and Tier Placement: Because of their small size, quick movement, and aggressive potential, Pepper and Snowflake are some of the highest-ranked characters in the game. Their damage output in the early game can draw in the more aggressive players, while their size and speed can give something for defensive players to work with. On top of the challenge of coordinating with their AI, there's something in Pepper and Snowflake for just about any kind of player looking to master them. Previously, they had a potentially infinite combo after a grab, but thankfully that was patched out, as playing with that in a competitive environment would just be lame.

Character Breakdown: Miki Tatsumi is a fourteen year old tamer. Energetic and vibrant, she exudes a large amount of positivity into the world with a can-do attitude and never-give-up mantra. While her positivity can be construed as annoying by some, she's a genuinely kind girl that wants everyone around her to be as happy as possible. Miki dreams of traveling the world and seeing the most interesting sites the world has to offer, following in the footsteps of her missing parents. She's always willing to learn new things, though she has a hard time doing things that don't interest her. Her partner is Gomamon, a young aquatic Digimon that grew up in the waters of the Macro Ocean and knows little of the Digital World's mainland, let alone the human world. Together, the pair seek to explore new sites and sights. 
Character Weight: Miki is on the lighter side, being just a bit below the character roster's average weight. While she won't be dying to the smallest breeze, she won't be surviving very long if not played carefully, either. 
Character Speed: Miki is just a bit faster than the average character. She won't be outspeeding everyone by a great deal, but she has enough mobility on the ground to get by. 
Character Jump Height: Miki unfortunately has a below average jump height, and her aerial mobility is greatly lacking. Miki is better kept to the ground. 

Special Traits/Fighting Style: Miki is a decent ground-based attacker, moving across the stage horizontally while making quick attacks. She relies on Gomamon to make the heavier attacks, but they're fairly slow, though they have a decent kill potential if they land. Miki doesn't quite have the potential to be a proper rushdown character, so Miki's playstyle tends to be rather campy, unfortunately. 

Moveset

Jab: Miki punches forward, followed by a kick, then finally a swipe from Gomamon's claw. Everything other than Gomamon's claw has weak damage and knockback. 
Side Tilt: Miki kicks forward. It doesn't have a great deal of knockback or damage, but the attack comes out fairly quickly, and has a decent range to it. 
Up Tilt: Miki points upwards, and Gomamon summons a few fishie friends to fly up in an arc. A  multi-hit attack that doesn't deal much knockback, but deals a decent amount of damage. It's fairly slow, however.
Down Tilt: Miki performs a sliding kick a few feet forward. Doesn't deal much damage or knockback, but the movement can help her avoid attacks that hit high.
Dash Attack: Miki and Gomamon hug each other as they both ram into the target. Doesn't deal much damage or knockback, however. 

Neutral Air: Miki spins around in the air, hitting anyone who comes into contact with her. Deals little in both damage and knockback, bit it's a very quick attack. 
Forward Air: Miki holds Gomamon out as he swipes forward with his claw. A slow start-up, but deals a decent enough damage and can kill at high percents.
Back Air: Miki spins around while holding Gomamon out, letting her partner swipe behind them. High damage and knockback. Very slow.
Up Air: Miki throws Gomamon above her head, letting her partner hit the enemy from below. Decent damage and knockback, but it's rather slow.
Down Air: Miki and Gomamon fall downward in a panic, crashing down on an enemy below. Deals a decent amount of damage, but it has a high end lag, so it's a rather risky move to use.

Side Smash: Gomamon strikes out with both claws. Doesn't deal much damage on its own, but has a high amount of damage and knockback when fully charged.
Up Smash: Gomamon jumps up and slices the air above them. Decent kill power, and has a wide range. It's a very slow move, however. 
Down Smash: Gomamon summuns a few fishie friends on either side of them, knocking away opponents on both sides. Doesn't deal much damage, but has enough regular knockback to keep opponents away. The knockback doesn't scale well with damage, however.

Neutral Special: Marching Fishies - Gomamon summons up a flurry of fishie friends in front of them. This move can be used indefinitely  so long as the user holds down the button, and they can still move Miki and Gomamon while the attack is going. The attack doesn't deal much damage, however. 
Side Special: Sliding Seal - Miki grabs onto Gomamon as he slides to the side, knocking away any enemy that they collide with. Excellent horizontal movement, though the attack doesn't deal much in the way of damage or knockback.
Up Special: Grappling Hook - Miki fires her grappling hook upwards and at an angle, allowing her to latch onto the stage if need be. If the attack hits an enemy, Miki pull them down and slam them onto the ground. If Miki hits an enemy while in the air, Miki will fly up to the target and jump on top of them. Miki does not go into special fall after using this attack.
Down Special: Armor Digivolve! - Gomamon jumps into the air and Armor Digivolves into Submarimon, with his big, bulky body, he crashes down on of an opponent. A very slow move, but very powerful. 

Grab: Miki reaches out forward and grabs the enemy. Their pummel is a fishie appearing and slapping the enemy in the face. 
Forward Throw: Miki and Gomamon push the enemy away with all of their might. 
Back Throw: Miki and Gomamon get shocked and accidentally throw the enemy over their heads.
Up Throw: Miki and Gomamon spin around and hurl the enemy upwards, waving to them as they rise.
Down Throw: Miki trips over Gomamon, causing her to fall on top of the enemy and down into the ground. 

Side Taunt: Miki and Gomamon wave at the camera. 
Up Taunt: Miki hops into the air and yells out, "Let's go, go, go!" 
Down Taunt: Gomamon holds out his hand and high-fives a small school of fishies.

Overall Summary and Tier Placement: While she's a fairly fast character, most of Miki's kill moves are dreadfully slow and risky, making her rather inadequate compared to the other speedier characters. In addition, her air game leaves much to be desired, so unfortunately, Miki is often forgotten about in the discussion of the best character in the game. Still, her energetic personality combined with Gomamon has made her a fan favorite for casuals, who can perform quite well with her at lower level play. So like Miki herself, she's not meant to be taken too seriously, but there's still plenty of fun to be had! So let's play!
