This version of Lie Meiling is a three button character, utilizing , , and for attacks. Although she utilizes Hong Meiling's sprites, her movelist closely resembles a combination of Hong Meiling and Akuma. Her gameplay is mostly focused on offense, with various tools for applying offensive pressure. As a tradeoff, her life is much lower than most characters, maxing out at only 850.
Lie Meiling has several tools at her disposal, both offensively and defensively, and thus allows her to play around with multiple playstyles, ranging from zoning to rushdown. This includes a projectile special that can usually beat out other projectile attacks due to the sheer number of them. However, Lie Meiling's poor Life value of 850 makes her more frail than most, so she best excels at applying offensive pressure on the opponent. Ultraviolet Flip is perhaps the best example of this, allowing Lie Meiling to apply mix-up games on the opponent, forcing them to keep guessing if they should block low, block high, or attack, and punishing them if they guess incorrectly.
At the beginning of the match, Lie Meiling must select between two Last Word spellcards, as both cannot be used in a single match. Piercing Heaven "Youkai Armageddon" has startup invincibility, allowing it to act as a reversal, and is a Level 2 Super. "Descent of the Black Dragon" is a Level 3 Super that allows Meiling to track the opponent's position before slamming down above them, akin to Akuma's Misogi. Regardless of which Last Word is selected, Lie Meiling will always have access to the "Wrath of the Raging Youkai" level 3 Super.
