Marisa Kirisame

Description
Marisa Kirisame is a playable character in most of the Touhou franchises games. As a Magician, she excels in Magic either it be her own or stolen. She is also shown to use her broom as a means of mobility and a weapon.

Spirit Gauge -
Whenever Marisa takes damage or gets stunned, her Spirit Gauge goes up, enabling new attacks. Normal 1 and 2 are the only moves that do not require any Gauge percentage. Take note that the phase base attack is inaccurate and it raises by +10 when your spirit gauge raise by 2%.(Maximum base damage is 130 dmg with 25% spirit gauge after the last spirit gauge capacity increases.)

Tip: There can be a small chance when you press H you can get at least 1% spirit gauge.

   

 Moves 3-6 require at least 1% Spirit Gauge  

All Special moves grant iFrames for their duration

Combos & Strategy
Normal 1 is good against opponents that block a lot since it breaks block and doesn't take long to use.

Normal 2 is a great move for draining your enemies stamina however be prepared to counter,block,or dash away when you see your opponet coming straight towards you. Another side note is that you shouldn't use this move until you know moves like Cross!Chara's scream and Glitchtale!Frisk's ult are already used because this can lead them to timing their combos as soon as you finish the move.

Normal 3 is a somewhat good move if used correctly, being able to shred hp and dodges if the enemy is right ontop of you. But there are rarely situations where your enemy is stunned for long enough for the move to start and still do damage. One of those situations would be against an Smx-Sans player that used blasters 3 (phase 1). But since it actually uses up 1% spirit gauge it's not a good idea to use that early in the fight and you should instead go for Normal 2 if you can.

Normal 4 and 6 have kinda bad hitboxes and should be used while the opponent is on the ground, blocking or out of stamina.

Normal 5 is a bad combo starter since the endlag on it gives your opponent enough time to get up again. Because the attack usually only hits around 3 times Dodging characters can take advantage of your vulnerability and attack you while the move is still going. It is hard to avoid and thus it is good for quick damage and interrupting your opponent. This move can also be used a punisher combo starter when your enemy's mana is low enough which can lead to you using 4 afterwards if fast enough.

Special 2 has a much smaller range than the other Special attacks and can only be used when your close to your opponent in order to land the hit, so try using this move first if you plan to add special 1 on your combo.

Special 3 is unavoidable with running and dashing. The only way to dodge it is with iframes or by locking off and teleporting far away.

 * Love Sign 'Master Spark' and Loving Heart 'Double Master Spark ' deal less damage in Marisas 3rd phase
 * Her moveset is based off the "Asriel Dreemurr vs. Marisa Kirisame" animation, and thus leads to her lack in moves
 * Marisa along with Underswap!Sans have the fastest running speed with both of them being at 70.
