Remilia Scarlet/RicePigeon's version

''Having spent close to five centuries together, you'd expect both Scarlet sisters to have adopted similar fighting styles. While this is true in the case of their normal melee attacks and general rushdown gameplay, subtle differences combined with Remilia's greater experience sets her apart from her younger sister. Most importantly, rather than acting as glass cannon, Remilia uses her vampiric power to try to stay alive for as long as possible.''

Gameplay


Remilia 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. At the beginning of the match, Remilia must select from one of two mutually-exclusive Hypers; Scarlet Devil is a powerful reversal with exceptionally quick startup that is sure to punish opponents or end combos, while Millenium Vampire grants Remilia with a life-draining buff on all of her melee attacks whose duration is dependent on her Power when used.

Remilia focuses on close range combat, and is best suited for rushdown gameplay. Remilia possesses many good normals, with acting as a great poke,  acting as a hitconfirm,  and + as great anti-airs, and + as a very fast overhead with great range. Demon Lord Cradle is a standard shoryuken-type attack that takes Remilia off the ground, providing her with startup invincibility and acting as both a reversal and anti-air. Demon Lord Walk allows Remilia to close the distance between her and her opponent with multiple damaging short hops, carrying them closer to the corner on hit. Chain Gang is Remilia's only real option for a projectile attack, with the and  versions homing in on the opponent and creating multiple explosions along the length of the chain. The version is unique, as successful contact with the opponent will instead cause Remilia to retract the chain, pulling her toward her opponent's position.

While not as fast or as fragile as her sister, her lower than average health is compensated for in both Vampire Kiss and Millenium Vampire. Vampire Kiss is an unblockable command grab that not only damages the opponent, but also heals Remilia on a 1:2 ratio. Remilia can easily set up an opportunity to use Vampire Kiss with the offensive pressure her moves apply. Millenium Vampire provides all of Remilia's melee attacks with a similar effect, healing her on a 1:2 ratio. The effect also stacks with Vampire Kiss, healing Remilia on a 1:1 ratio as opposed to 1:2. Despite being one of Remilia's selectable Last Words, Millenium Vampire can be used with as little as 1000 Power, though the duration of the buff will be severely impacted. At minimum, the buff lasts only 4 seconds, but can be increased to as long as 12 seconds with a full meter.

Trivia

 * Remilia's 6th generic victory quote refers to the fact that in Immaterial & Missing Power and Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, Remilia is unable to fight in any outdoor stages due to vampires being weak to sunlight, while in Hisoutensoku, she requires the use of the Custom Parasol system card in her deck in order to do so. Since such stage restrictions are impossible to implement in M.U.G.E.N, this victory quote more than likely serves as an explanation as to how Remilia is able to fight outdoors without succumbing to sunlight, even if such an explanation isn't entirely canon.
 * Alternatively, this victory quote may also be a nod to the events of The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.
 * Remilia's 2nd victory quote against Reimu is a reference to the Touhou Project fangame, The Last Comer.
 * Additionally, two of Remilia's alternate palettes are of Corin Charite and Mumumu Mikaboshi, both of whom are Touhou Project fan characters also from The Last Comer; the former being another vampire who comes to live with Remilia, while the latter is the form that Satan assumes while in Gensokyo (a nod to the "Devil" part of Remilia's title as the Scarlet Devil).
 * Both of Remilia's victory quotes against Lie Meiling, as well as her second victory quote against Yukari, are taken directly from Remilia's dialogue in Touhou Rekkaden's Story Mode.
 * Remilia's 1st victory quote against Reimu is a direct reference to Dracula's dialogue against Richter Belmont in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
 * This is further reinforced by one of Remilia's alternate palettes, which is based on Dracula's official artwork from said game.
