Overview
Overview

Millia is overall a radically different character in Missing Link, missing moves that normally define her playstyle. Instead, she uses Living Lancer to aggressively zone opponents out and her strong movement options to either evade or close in for a combo.

 Millia  Millia zones opponents using strong projectiles and movement options.

Pros
Cons
  • Strong Movement Options: Having 2 full airdashes and Forward Roll, Millia is highly mobile.
  • Opressive Zoning: Both Living Lancers and her super are strong at keeping the opponent out to a degree that is nearly insurmountable for some characters.
  • Desperation Abuse: Millia, alongside  Justice, is arguably the best character at abusing infinite supers in the game. Iron Maiden spam is extremely difficult for most characters to contest.
  • Versatile Infinites: In addition to the usual CC infinites, Millia can also infinite off of Living Lancer in the corner, and perform a tight roll infinite.
  • Short Range CC Infinite: Millia's CC infinite has a lot less range than other characters' infinites, so it can be harder for her to access it, and alternative infinites suffer from the same issue or are situational.
  • Low Health: Millia has the third lowest health value and a relatively low dizzy threshold, making her a bit squishy. However, due to the prevalence of infinites, this isn't as much of an issue for her as it is in future games.

Not quite the anti-air it is in later titles, and is mostly combo filler here. Can still anti-air but she has better options.

Surprisingly long ranged poke that can confirm into CC infinite from close distances and Tandem Top at farther distances. Can't combo into anything from max distance but going into Living Lancer is generally a good option.

Millia's only grounded overhead in GGML. It's also her longest range normal, but like her 6H in later titles, it is very slow. On hit it confirms into CC infinite.

Pretty good anti-air. Launches opponents high up even on grounded hit, allowing it to be immediately teched, albeit in a disadvantageous position.

  • Air unblockable

Despite how it looks this move doesn't hit low. Besides that, it's an inferior poke to f.5S, and unless something is discovered about it there isn't much reason to use it.

Incredibly fast normal that works both as an anti-air and is your main combo tool for CC infinite.

Gigantic air normal that's great at landing and air to air. Actually comes out much faster than it appears, as it has a small close range hitbox. Both the small hitbox and the big one can hit on grounded opponents, but only one will hit air opponents.

13 Overhead 1 27 0 none

Very fast downward angled aerial, but compared to her other air normals there isn't much reason to use it outside of combos. The multiple hits have consistency issues with comboing into each other. Comes out very fast so it can instant overhead some characters.

Can be used against the following characters when crouching:

Dust Attack

S+H

One of the fastest dusts but unfortunately hits mid. If this were an honest game it would probably be a useful punish but if you have a punish opportunity, it's always better to go for CC infinite.

Throw

6H or 4H

15 Throw N/A none
Throws the opponent backwards towards a wall, causing a wallbounce if they reach it before teching. Alright throw, but notably has some incredibly janky interactions in the corner which can setup some dirty left rights.

Dash Attack

Millia's great air movement means you won't get it very often, but since she speeds up so fast she can do a very quick dash attack, even being able to combo into it in certain circumstances.

Millia launches a thread of hair from her head. The thread of hair will go about half of the screen before stopping and staying in place. It will spin and linger as an active hitbox for a little while before disappearing, from which you can launch it again using Hungry Bee. This move is key to Millia's gameplan and can be very oppressive. At any point after the thread of hair has been launched, the move's recovery can be canceled into a second Living Lancer, Living Lancer (High), or Living Lancer Charge. This is incredibly powerful, as it lets you quickly place two projectiles on the screen and gives them effectively no recovery. Higher charge levels increase the hitbox size, damage, and hitstun(?) of the move.

  • Max of 2 Living Lancers on screen at once.
  • After X frames, you can cancel the recovery Living Lancer, Living Lance (High), or Living Lancer Charge.

Living Lancer (High)

N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A

After launching a Living Lancer, if it doesn't hit an opponent, it will float in the air while spinning. During this time, hitting S in any direction will launch the Living Lancer in the direction you input. This is very powerful for zoning and applying pressure from a distance, and can even be used to snipe opponents in the air.

  • If there are two Living Lancers out, then Hungry Bee will activate on whichever you launched first.

Tandem Top

623S
Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block On-Hit Invuln
9x2 All 14 15 15 -17 -20 none
This move has a few uses in neutral, pressure, and combos. For combos, it's a consistent combo ender, although one you'd only use if you're too far to start an infinite. In neutral, the move has a surprisingly good anti-air and poking hitbox, and the long lingering projectile can catch opponents who like to blindly run in. For pressure, just like in future games, you can set the projectile meaty on a knocked down opponent to force a mixup, although her mix isn't as scary as it is in later titles.

Lust Shaker

SxN
No results
Possibly the best version of Lust Shaker Millia's had. Has almost no recovery, making it incredibly plus on block or hit and even being able to link into normals to start an infinite. Unlike future titles, the pushback is fairly low, meaning that as well as being a great chipping tool, it can reset pressure reliably.

Forward Roll

Very Low Profile 11~15
Low profile movement option with low recovery. Goes about half the screen. While it can low profile many moves, it will get beaten by active and low hitting moves. Can go behind opponents for some crossups or to bait a guard cancel. Also has use in niche infinites.

Low Profile 51~129

Millia creates 6 level 3 Living Lancers that float for a little before homing in on the opponent's position. One of the best supers in the game, and incredibly hard for most characters to contest. While it has a lot of recovery, the projectiles stay on screen for a long time and will often hit delayed from each other, making it unpunishable except in rare circumstances. They will track the opponent for as long as they're out, making it very difficult to get around. While the individual projectiles don't do high damage, they add up, especially since the move can very easily be spammed in desperation.

  • It's not invincible so don't try to use it like a reversal
  • The pattern when the projectiles appear seems to be random.
