Meimu/RicePigeon's version

''She may look like Reimu, but this formless beast given Reimu's form shows that not even Yukari can contain her. Designed as the A.I.-only final boss of Touhou: Gensokyo Reloaded, Meimu exhibits several symptoms of most SNK Bosses to give her an unfair advantage over the opponent. Her pressure tools, good priority, large damage, good mobility, and high Life value all ensure she'll reset this world back to zero.''

Gameplay


Meimu is technically a six-button character, but plays like a standard three-button character, using the extra buttons for shortcut;, when used combined with or  acts as a shortcut for the character's   and   dash commands. is used as a shortcut for +, while is used as a shortcut for, used in the Level 3 Hypers.

Meimu is a fast, bulky character that possesses many tools for both defense and offense. As a boss character, she possesses several advantages that many other characters in Gensokyo Reloaded don't, such as an extremely fast overhead Normal, a jab with a disjointed hitbox, crouching  and  Normals with excellent speed and range, and an extremely fast teleport in Formless Movement. Formless Wave is a standard projectile move that can be cancelled into Double Formless Wave and Triple Formless Wave to easily pressure an opponent; the ability to send up to three projectiles at differing speeds can make approaching her quite difficult, and their ability to hit OTG can easily rack up damage against a downed opponent. If this wasn't enough, Formless Movement can easily close the gap between Meimu and her opponent, allowing her to teleport to three different locations relative to the opponent and quickly follow up with an attack for a quick punish or mix-up. Ascension Cutter takes a page out of Rugal Bernstein's earlier incarnations, granting her a reversal with near-instant startup and high damage, with invulnerability frames that last well past the first active frame.
