Lie Meiling/RicePigeon & Darkflare's version

''Don't get cocky, this is most certainly not your average Meiling. While it's limited to just three buttons, this character has a varied moveset and is very capable of pulling off many combos. This character is certainly one Raging Youkai.''

Gameplay


Lie Meiling's movelist resembles a combination of Hong Meiling and Akuma, with a few original moves thrown in. After RicePigeon took his creations offline, Darkflare took over the responsibilities of releasing updates. RicePigeon has since released his own updates to the character based on some of the changes made by Darkflare.

At the beginning of the match, Lie Meiling must select between two Last Word spellcards, as both cannot be used in a single match. "Youkai Armageddon" has startup invincibility, allowing it to act as a reversal, and is a Level 2 Hyper. "Descent of the Black Dragon" is a Level 3 Hyper that allows Lie to track the opponent's position before slamming down above them, akin to Akuma's Misogi. Regardless of which Last Word is selected, Lie Meiling will always have access to the "Wrath of the Raging Youkai" level 3 Hyper.

General
"Weaklings! Is there no one worth fighting?"

"I am bored. What else is new?"

"This time, I will spare you. But the next time you face me, I will show no mercy!"

"I have nothing to say to you."

"Death in hand to hand combat is its own reward."

"Shall I dismember you to show your weakness?"

Character-specific

"When you took me under your wing I was but an apprentice. Now I am the master."

- vs. Yukari Yakumo

"Just like your dolls, you too are a puppet. You have no heart and cannot feel any pain."

- vs. Alice Margatroid

"You hide behind your dolls in cowardice. Disgraceful..."

- vs. Alice Margatroid

"Your fighting spirit is just as weak and brittle as the porcelain of your dolls. Now embrace death, coward!"

- vs. Alice Margatroid

"The Hakurei border is connected with the shrine maiden isn't it? Perhaps this will lure her out of hiding."

- vs. Reimu Hakurei

"Thus even a youkai exterminator can be exterminated."

- vs. Reimu Hakurei

"I have crushed your shrine maiden beneath my heel, Yukari. Now come out and face me!"

- vs. Reimu Hakurei

"You're not perfect..."

- vs. Sakuya Izayoi

"Now whose time has run out?"

- vs. Sakuya Izayoi

"Stopping time only delays death, not prevent it."

"All things live to kill or be killed. Pacifism is to forfeit your right to live."

- vs. Hong Meiling

"I know pacifism by another name... Cowardice."

- vs. Hong Meiling

"I don't fight for enlightenment, nor the Scarlet Devil, nor the Sukima. I just fight."

- vs. Hong Meiling

"Begone... karma of my past."

- vs. Hong Meiling

"You're still a pup. Give in to your inner darkness."

- vs. Hong Meiling

"Feel your anger running through you... Then we will both be complete."

- vs. Hong Meiling

"Where are your gods now?"

- vs. Sanae Kochiya

"I have killed a goddess with my fists!"

- vs. Sanae Kochiya

"Belief in miracles is nothing more than an excuse to justify weakness."

- vs. Sanae Kochiya
