Marisa Kirisame/RicePigeon's first version

''"It ain't magic if it ain't flashy!" This Marisa is anything but ordinary, don't let the movelist take you offguard into thinking Marisa is just an ordinary "shotoclone". With the Three-tiered embellishment magic, this version combines Marisa's best aspects from Scarlet Weather Rhapsody and Hopeless Masquerade into one small package.''

Gameplay


Marisa is a five-button character that plays like a standard three-button character, using, and  for attacks while utilising  as a shortcut for   and   dashes, and  as a shortcut for.

While on the surface, this version of Marisa may appear to have a movelist akin to most shotoclones, the most defining gameplay gimmick is Marisa's Three-tiered Embellishment Magic, which adds a charge every time a Special move is used, with each charge indicated by a different color star under Marisa's lifebar. When a special move is used with three charges, the Special used will automatically turn into an EX variant at the cost of all charges. EX versions offer additional advantages over their ordinary counterparts, such as increased damage, faster startup/recovery, extra invincibility frames, and/or additional hit properties such as wallbounce.

At the beginning of the match, Marisa has the option to select one of two Level 3 Spellcards for use, but will not be able to use both during the same match. It's generally recommended to choose the one more fitting for the situation Marisa is up against. Final Spark is more or less a slightly faster, more powerful version of Master Spark, but the main draw is that it also grants Marisa access to an additional Level 3 Spellcard called Dragon Meteor, an air-only version of Final Spark that hits for less damage, but is angled downward and hits OTG, making it useful as a combo ender. Sungrazer is a powerful ground-to-air melee attack with reversal properties that cannot be airguarded, as Marisa thwacks them up with the broomstick and then proceeds to rush at them at high speed.

Marisa does not have a custom A.I., so it uses M.U.G.E.N's default A.I.
