Menat General Thread - Don't Drop The Orb

[mykka]

From the blog post:

Menat is an apprentice of a famous Fortune teller that lives in Italy. The techniques she was taught revolve around her crystal sphere, which she controls with her soul power. This power lets her extend the base of her attacks, giving her a fortunate advantage at longer ranges. She is also able to send it out at the opponent to disrupt attacks, where she can later call it back. While the crystal sphere is out, she can cancel any normal attack and her V-Skill into Soul Sphere: Ankh, calling the crystal ball back to her, greatly increasing her combo potential.

**V-Skill : Soul Reflect - Kamal
**

Produce a shock wave attack from her soul power. While the crystal sphere is retracted, this lets her reflect the average projectile back at the opponent. If the crystal ball was sent out into battle prior to using her V-Skill, this will absorb the projectile to help build up her v-gauge. This can also be used to launch the opponent into the air to help extend combos.

**V-Trigger: Wisdom of Thoth
**

Menat summons six spheres with her soul power andeach sphere is linked to her normal attacks. Pressing and releasing of a normal attack sends the sphere linked to that attack flying at the opponent.

**Critical Art: The Nefertem
**
Menat sends her crystal sphere to bind her soul power with the opponent to deal devastating damage.

Mastering this fortune teller is dependent on knowing when to use her crystal sphere to keep her opponents at bay, and when to unleash it to create unpredictable mixups.

So she’s both a stance AND a puppet character… praise Lord Woshige, for He giveth us more anime.

Something’s just off with her hair shading, it looks like a helmet

[mykka]

I still dont get how she had cat ears in the silhouette

It’s probably a mix of trying to imitate ancient Egyptian hairstyle and SFV hair physics being what they are.

[TWINBLADES]

99% of people will drop her in a few days. She looks much more complex than most characters.

And on top of that she looks slow and will probably have no reversal.

I give @TWINBLADES 30 minutes before he drops her

Did I drop Kolin?

[SolidSnake316]

Someone PM me the Menat Discord

Unfinished design most likely.

Does Kolin have two stances and negative edge combos? Yeah, you guessed right…

Someone said she is laying down in the silhouette, but its hard to see what would cause the cat ears. Maybe a sleeve? Depends on the pose.

Bayonetta’s silhouette has wings. I think it’s just a Japanese Dev meme.

Will someone be nice enough to send me a PM of the powerful Egyptian sex goddess and Rose’s second-in-command Menat discord?

[Raccon]

I do like any detail about her so far, except that fact she did’nt get her own stage. C’mon, she’s a freaking Egyption! What a waste from you, Capcom.

Menat’s profile on CFN is out:

コマンド | メナト | キャラクターデータ | CAPCOM：シャドルー格闘家研究所

She has only two specials.

Also, there’s this page that describes shortly how she plays.

[Great_Dark_Hero]

Long range?
I like the sound of this…

[DevilJin_01]

Long range in SFV? Definitely a typo

[OceanMachine]

I expected her to be 950 health. Which means her damage could actually be decent

[Phantom_Miria]

Long range in SFV? Definitely a typo

From what I understood from that presentation, as long as Menat hasn’t used her sphere she might have Dhalsim-like normals thanks to that crystal ball. She loses reach when she uses Soul Sphere, but she’s able to recall the sphere whenever she wants.

[Great_Dark_Hero]

(Most) scrubs don’t like zoning / long-range characters. I may end up liking this character.
Me firing this game up for such terrible reasons…
