Meiling specializes in offense, with an emphasis on getting close to her opponent and keeping them cornered with as much pressure as possible, with her Cyclone Light Step allowing her to quickly close any distance between her and her opponent. With her Fierce Tiger's Strength super, she can apply much more offensive pressure as the properties of her attacks change, some of which become faster and allow for combos not normally possible. While Meiling has plenty of options for melee combat, outside of Cyclone Light Step she is somewhat lacking in the long range department, with her only true projectile attack, Fragrant Wave, being a close range projectile. However, because it is a projectile, Fragrant Wave is still invaluable for allowing her to defend against enemy projectiles and as a meter building tool.
