true mid, this game is SLOW, some people really like the melee and say it reminds them of megaman zero, but i dont really see it, the game clearly understood its lack of maneuverability and lays out on enemy at a time in boring straight line stages where youll walk up, press the attack button three time and the enemy will be staggered and die, no way to attack above, or beneath you so jumping around enemies is no fun and a weaker option then just walking up to them. only having one air dash before having to touch the ground feels miserable and slow and also means you can defeat multiple enemies while airborn or rack up combo score in any way which is what the series is known for, in my opinion this is by far the weakest of this style of gunvolt games, only the mighty gunvolt games are worse.
