Mikoto's biggest weakness is the huge dead zones on her zoning normals. On top of that, if the opponent does ever get in on her, Mikoto has arguably the best reversal in the game with EX Magnetic Move (214AB), which can be done during any small gap in pressure to quickly get her high off the ground and put the opponent in a tricky situation. Since her neutral is already exceptional, she can afford to run punishing setup-based assists to capitalize on these hard knockdowns like Rusian, Ryuuji, Mao or Boogiepop, and as one of the few characters in DFCI to have an airdash, she has a great ability to turn knockdowns into scary pressure situations. With multiple moves that hit from half screen away or further, Mikoto excels at punishing players who try to blindly approach, and she has the ability to convert any random hit into hard knockdown with her exceptional EX moves. Mikoto is DFCI's resident zoning character.

Originally from the light novel series Toaru Majutsu no Index, localized as A Certain Magical Index. Even though she's in Academy City, she's one of only seven high-powered espers (Level 5).

A junior high student, she's a powerful Electromaster nicknamed "Railgun".
