History Characters / MeltyBlood

* AmbidextrousSprite: The side of her face her bangs cover and her asymmetrical armor details will flip when her sprite flips. In a cute touch, Mash will be animated as switching which arm is holding her shield when her sprite needs to flip.

* {{Handguns}}: Sion is the only Melty Blood character to carry a ballistic gun. Specifically, it's the "Barrel Replica", a copy of the Black Barrel, one of the Atlas Institute's seven superweapons, which is apparently designed to look like a regular [[CoolGuns/HandgunsAToL CZ 75]]. She will run out of bullets after 13 shots and need to reload if you use it too much.

* HornyDevils: Not exactly the horny type. But, since she's literally a more outspoken version of Len. Yeah...

** Within ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood'' itself, one can play as "V. Sion/Sion Tatari" and "Normal Sion." Unlike other {{Evil Counterpart}}s who are just Tatari Nightmares, Vampire Sion is an Alternate Continuity where she succumbs to the bloodlust. Compare "Evil Ryu" from ''StreetFighter''.

* WrongContextMagic: The idea of Servants existing in ''Tsukihime'' timeline is already a tall order due to how weak Human Order there is, but a fusion of a living human and a Heroic Spirit borders on impossible concept. Roa, the guy who has lived through many incarnations through {{Body Surf}}ing, finds Mash's situation abhorrent as her having to live as a [[CensorBox ██]] is a worse fate than Dead Apostle's stolen eternity.

* KnifeNut: Like Tohno, her signature knife from Touko is her main weapon.

** In ''Type Lumina'', she has the worst health, damage, and damage scaling in the game, unable to break 3000 damage on most of her basic combos. However, her ability to fill the screen with an utterly insane amount of hitboxes is second to none, and her comeback potential when she has meter is absolutely frightening due to how much advantage she can earn off stray hits.

** One of the cats she can summon off Neco Packet 2022 B variant is a Neco-Arc pulling a tire at a snail's pace. This is considered one of Neco-Arc's most powerful zoning tools; unlike the other Neco-Arc summons, it can't be hit to be removed, and the tire itself is a lingering hitbox that lasts as long as it stays on-screen. Opponents who don't respect it will either get their attacks or movement interrupted, opening them up for a punish, while opponent who do respect it will likely be forced to jump over it, giving Neco-Arc a chance to anti-air them.

** One of the cats she can summon off Neco Packet 2022 B variant is a Neco-Arc pulling a tire at a snail's pace. This is considered one of Neco-Arc's most powerful zoning tools; unlike the other Neco-Arc summons, it can't be hit to be removed, and the tire itself is a lingering hitbox that lasts as long as it stays on-screen and can interrupt the opponent's pressure or win neutral if they neglect to pay attention to it while attacking.

However, her ability to fill the screen with an utterly insane amount of hitboxes is second to none, and her comeback potential when she has meter is absolutely frightening.

* LethalJokeCharacter: Neco-Arc's greatest strength is that she is ''tiny''. Small enough that attacks can easily just fly over her. She is very capable of just harassing the opponent with her small size if they don't know how to play the game.

This page describes the characters from the multiple ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood'' games. For characters originating in ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' or ''Kagetsu Tohya'' please check ''Characters/{{Tsukihime}}.''

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: She loves to twirl around in ''Current Code''.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: For some of her attacks.

* HappinessInSlavery: Blushes when being stomped by Mech-Hisui and follows her when they tag together as ''Necomech''

* VisibleInvisibility: Invisible Air is meant to hide away Excalbur's shape so that people don't guess who Saber is based on her weapon alone, but the wind effect around it makes it apparent enough just how long her attacks really are. Winning a round with Saber has her even dispelling the effect of Invisible Air to make the match more fair.

* CompanyCrossReferences: In ''Type Lumina'' she can open ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' on her phone and perform a gacha summon, then use what she got to attack the opponent or give herself a small boost. The results can either be a plate of curry that heals 500 health, Saber who performs a quick Excalibur for almost 3000 damage, the "Azure Black Keys" Craft Essence which only deals 1000 damage, or the "Extremely Spicy Mapo Tofu" Craft Essence which increase the Magic Circuit.

* JokeCharacter: She is a miniature cat creature from a FourthWallMailSlot with plenty of nonsensical moves such as her Last Arc having her {{Colony Drop}}ing ''Kinoko Nasu himself'' into the stage.

* InterfaceScrew: Has a move that reverses the directional controls of both players.

* CompanyCrossReferences: In ''Type Lumina'' she can open ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' on her phone and perform a gacha summon, then use what she got to attack the opponent. The results can either be Saber, the "Azure Black Keys" Craft Essence, or the "Extremely Spicy Mapo Tofu" Craft Essence.

* BreathWeapon: Neco-Arc can breathe out fire with Abaddon Flare or spit out Red Arcueid's air projectiles with Flying Neco Battleship Gomoran.

The first ever Shielder-class Servant in ''Fate'' history, the Demi-Servant Mash Kyrielight finds herself in an unknown environment full of threats that need to be responded to if she is to survive the night. For tropes representing her original appearance, please [[Characters/FateGrandOrderMashKyrielight head on over here.]]

Mash was announced as a DLC fighter for ''Type Lumina'' and its second season of DLC alongside Neco-Arc, with a release date of August 19, 2022.

* DevelopmentGag: One of her alternate color palettes makes her resemble Tachie, her prototype version who was planned to appear in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.

* BeamSpam: Entirely possible for a player who's got fast-ass thumbs.

* CompanyCrossReferences: In ''Type Lumina'' she can open 'VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' on her phone and perform a gacha summon, then use what she got to attack the opponent. The results can either be Saber, the "Azure Black Keys" Craft Essence, or the "Extremely Spicy Mapo Tofu" Craft Essence.
