OVERVIEW

The Molten Express (abbreviated here as T.M.E.) is a unique combination of a both a rushdown character and a heavyweight fighter. Its movement and attack speed are top notch, featuring the fastest movement and attacks in the game. In addition, it has the best defence in the game and has many of the strongest attacks in the game. However, T.M.E. is not without fault. Its recovery is particularly bad, being the slowest in the game and having poor vertical hieght gain. It is also one of the largest characters, making it quite easy to combo.

T.M.E.'s movement is very unique. It has the fastest run speed in the game, and the fastest air speed in the game. The defining stat, however, it its incredibly low friction. It slides a very far distance before stopping, allowing for the transfer of running momentum into an attack. The downside of being unable to stop is also nullified, thanks to its incredibly fast dash attack that stops all momentum.

T.M.E. has many combo starters, with Jab 1, Down Tilt, and Dash Attack all leading to multiple different followup options. Forward Tilt, Forward Strong, and Up Strong are all great kill options, with the latter two being almost as strong as some ultras.

 The Molten Express is a fast and durable character who rushes down opponents with fast attacks and good combos.

PROS   /   CONS
  • Tank: T.M.E. has the highest defense in the game, allowing it to survive strong hits and recover less often then other characters.
  • Kill Power: T.M.E. has some of the absolute strongest attacks in the game, killing opponents at very low damages. Some of his strong attacks reach power levels higher than those found even on ultras. In addition, attacks that don't have this high knockback tend to have other utility, such as high damage or combo uses.
  • Speed: With the fastest ground and air speed in the game, T.M.E. is easily able to close the gap and rush in to hit oppoents.
  • Drift: Combined with its high speed, T.M.E.'s low friction allows it to slide into opponents while doing attacks, letting it cover much more area with hitboxes than normal. In addition, T.M.E.'s extremely quick dash attack stops it in place instantly, letting it cancel momentum when it would put it in danger.
  • Frame Data: T.M.E. has the overall quickest basic attacks in the game, all of which feature great combo utility and low recovery.
  • Combo Food: T.M.E. is the largest character in the game, and combined with its high gravity, this makes it easy to combo and juggle.
  • Awkward Movement: While T.M.E.'s movement is fast, it is also quite awkward to use. It generally lacks smoothness to it, needing to stop and go in straight directions.
  • Poor Recovery: Ghost Rails is a very poor recovery, with a very slow duration and very low height gain. While Flaming Charge is a good horizontal recovery tool, it doesn't offer much if T.M.E. is already below the ledge.
  • Hitbox Diversity: Most of T.M.E.'s hitboxes all hit the same general area in front of it, leaving some areas uncovered and safe for the opponent.
  • Dead Zones: Due to how large T.M.E. is, many of its attacks will whiff if the opponent is too close.

Jab 3:

The quickest jab in the game overall.

Jab 1 is one of the fastest moves in the game, and easily combos into all of T.M.E.'s tilts due to its unique upward launch.

Jab 2 puts the opponent in a knockdown from around 30% onwards, allowing for loops or combos into other attacks.

Jab 3 has decent damage and weak knockback, but is the single quickest option out of Jab 2 due to bypassing Jab 2's recovery.

Dash Attack:
 Total: 8
  - Stops momentum on frame 1.

An incredibly fast attack that combos into nearly all of T.M.E.'s attacks, even a grab. Unlike most dash attacks, this is mainly a close range attack rather than a burst movement option. Its main weakness is actually in its input; due to being a dash attack, it moves forward during the dash before stopping to do the attack. This means it is very hard to hit opponents too close to T.M.E..

  - Backward velocity on 13~36F.
  - Velocity's magnitude can be influenced by holding forward or backward.

An extremely powerful attack as strong as some ultras. Its movement can be a bit unwieldy to work with, as the movement may make the attack whiff when it wouldn't have otherwise. On the other hand, the movement can get T.M.E. away from the opponent if they play around this flaw. Overall one of T.M.E.'s best attacks and kill options.

  - Stops momentum on frame 1, but only if it has not been used.
  - Forward velocity on 40~65F.
  - Can only be used in the air once.

An invincible charge attack with very long startup. The fire trail it leaves deals no knockback, but can rack up very high damage if the opponent stays in it. Though the charge does not have high knockback, it tends to keep opponents stuck in the fire trail for a long time due to its knockback angle. The fast and far distance combined with the invincibility make this T.M.E.'s main horizontal recovery tool.

Ghost rails is T.M.E.'s recovery, and not a very good one at that. Not only is it the slowest recovery move in the game, but it is also one of the absolute worst distance wise. It is also very vulnerable due to it's complete lack of hitboxes. Despite this, T.M.E. still makes heavy use of it, as it is still vital to surviving offstage. Its one positive trait is the lack of freefall afterwards, allowing for an jump / airdodge for more height or a side special to get farther vertically.

A risky counter with high reward, having high active frames but equally high recovery. On whiff, deals 10% in total self-damage, and leaves T.M.E. very vulnerable. On hit, heals T.M.E. for 20% minus whatever was lost during the catch frames, and deals high damage to the opponent. Due to the self damage it isn't a good idea to spam it, but the high reward on hit makes it a valuable option.
