Overview

Mai is a strong beginner friendly character with many neutral tools to keep opponents at bay or rush in and start pressure. Mai has many tools for the midrange and fullscreen with big normals, her command dash, and her flip. Mai's command dashes and flips give her amazing mobility that she can use in many situations. Mai has lunges she can use from her command dash. These have a unique "tipper" mechanic where they must be barrier blocked if the tip of the spear connects. Mai also has a completely unique input system, Variable Arts. Instead of gatlings, Mai has specific followups for attack sequences. This helps newer players adjust to the games mechanics, as they can input attacks in any order and still get results.

Mai is not without her weaknesses, however. While Mai has access to whiff cancels with Variable Arts, it also severely limits her ability to vary her options. As such, knowledgeable opponents can often deal with Mai's mixups in pressure. Mai generally opts for stagger pressure and frame traps. On defense, Mai only has a metered reversal that's below average at best. Despite some of these weaknesses, Mai has access to a strong neutral game with great normals and good damage.

Pros

Cons

• Very Beginner Friendly: Easy combos, solid damage potential, and a straight-forward gameplan.
• Great Neutral: Giant spear normals combined with her projectile drive let her easily control the flow of the match.
• Consistent Combos: Can convert off almost any hit into good damage and strong corner carry.
• Strong Defense: Flip and the options out of it paired with Mai's strong backdash makes her very slippery and hard to hold down. When your neutral is as crazy as Mai's having so many options to put your opponent in a big disadvantage state which is neutral itself is strong.

• Poor Mixups: Most mixup tools are locked behind Variable Arts, which telegraphs her possible options to her opponent. Most Mai mains will gravitate towards stagger pressure to open opponents up instead.

Mai's Drive attack lets her throw her spear and redirect it towards her opponent. You can hold the D button to charge the spear before throwing it. Mai can change the spear's initial direction by holding up or down. She can also change the initial direction while charging the spear. Once the spear becomes fully charged, it becomes unblockable. Releasing the D button will cause Mai to throw the spear. While the spear is active, pressing the D button again will redirect the spear towards Mai's opponent.

Mai's Overdrive shortens the spear charge time. If the spear redirect is blocked or hits the opponent, it will redirect again after passing through. Followups from Moon Blossom automatically become the fully charged versions. All Juncture followups gain more hits.

Damage	GuardHow this attack can be guarded. Throws have their throw range listed instead.	StartupHow many frames the attack needs to go through in order to reach its active frames. The listed startup frame coincides with the move's first active frame.	ActiveHow many frames where there is a hitbox that can hit an opponent. The first active frame occurs on the listed startup frame.	RecoveryHow many frames that the character must go through after an attack's active frames to automatically go back to a neutral stance, or the total duration of the move if it has no hitbox/creates projectiles.	Frame AdvHow many frames the attacker's recovery ends before the defender's blockstun ends if the attack is blocked. A positive value indicates that the attacker recovers first, while a negative value indicates that the defender recovers first. This value usually assumes that the attack's first active frame (of each hit, if multi-hit) is blocked.	On ODRThe difference between the attacker's total animation length and the period the opponent is in overdrive raid. This frame advantage is based off the assumption that both players input during the hitstop of a prior move, so that this attack and ODR start on the same frame.	AttributeSome attacks are invulnerable to attacks with specific attributes. This notes what attributes each attack possesses. H - Head B - Body F - Foot P - Projectile.

Average jab that hits crouching. 5A can be buffered into Variable Arts followups even during startup, so it can be used to go straight into moves with longer range like 5xC.

• Lv1 Button with Lv2 hitstun, meaning it has more hitstun than usual jabs
• Holding 4 prevents cancelling into Variable Arts if you just want to mash jab.
• Goes into 5xA, 5xB and 5xC and is the quickest way to do so.

A solid close-range poke. Moves Mai forward slightly so it can be used to regain space after resetting pressure. Unlike 5C, Mai can threaten stance mixups after 5B, which can open up her pressure options.

A/C

Mai's low from stance. Links into 2A on hit at close range.

6A/6C

Mai's mid from stance. A powerful frametrap starter, though it is punishable on block. Used in corner 5XB6A loops to deal large amounts of damage. Midscreen, combos into 236A, and optionally 236A! for additional combo routes.

• Useful for loops and occasional frame traps.

---

8A/8C

A good way to call out 2A mashes. Moves Mai far ahead, making it easy to follow up afterwards. Launches the opponent on hit, and is used in midscreen juggle combos.

5xC is an excellent long range poke for neutral. You can plink it off of 5A to use it as quickly as possible in neutral. In blockstrings, Mai only has mid and overhead followups from 5xC, so it is generally safe blocking high after seeing this move.

A

Combos from 5xC on crouching or air, but not standing. On ground hit, has limited combo options outside of 236B, but on air hit can link into (236 >) 5A for a juggle.

---

B

Mai's other 5xC overhead. Slightly slower than 5xCA, but with much higher reward on hit and block. Links on hit for a normal starter combo, 2C is optimal. As Mai leaps into the air before performing this attack, it can be used to evade poorly timed low and mid pokes, though the move does not have any invul.

---

C

Mai's signature mash normal. 5xC[C] can be used to set up the perfect range for a 236A! tipper hit. Earliest cancel is on hit 3. Deals chip damage on block, and can be used to quickly deplete the opponent's barrier gauge when combined with her Crush Trigger.

• Holding [C] increases the maximum number of hits to 12.
• Mashing C increases the maximum number of hits to 24.
• After hit 12, 5xCC can no longer be special cancelled and will launch the opponent following hit 16.
• Does chip damage on block.

Damage	GuardHow this attack can be guarded. Throws have their throw range listed instead.	StartupHow many frames the attack needs to go through in order to reach its active frames. The listed startup frame coincides with the move's first active frame.	ActiveHow many frames where there is a hitbox that can hit an opponent. The first active frame occurs on the listed startup frame.	RecoveryHow many frames that the character must go through after an attack's active frames to automatically go back to a neutral stance, or the total duration of the move if it has no hitbox/creates projectiles.	Frame AdvHow many frames the attacker's recovery ends before the defender's blockstun ends if the attack is blocked. A positive value indicates that the attacker recovers first, while a negative value indicates that the defender recovers first.

Gigantic hitbox in every direction that leads into easy followup combos. Beware that the actual head invul starts up very late for an anti-air and it does not have a crouching hurt box to compensate so it is easy to get tagged on startup. Also beware of opponents baiting it by making it whiff as the whiff recovery is extremely long and punishable.

• Cancelling into followups in the first 3 frames will give them a 10% base damage increase.
• Followups start at frame 7.
  • Frame data for followups assume they've gone through 236's startup already
• Hold 4 or 2 to prevent accidental A/B/C followups
• Can cancel into normals at frame 21

Command dash that can cancel into thrust followups or additional 236/214 movements. Note that while you can frametrap with the thrusts, the command dash itself is NOT safe as a pressure reset and you can easily be mashed out while trying. The exception to this is during Overdrive, where cancelling the followup attack(s) of Drives into 236 is extremely positive. The follow up attack has two parts which both can be cancelled, but cancelling the first part early will cause the second part to disappear.

Its followup "Himeyuri" attacks have a tipper effect on their last active frame. These have an extended hitbox, better proration and extra effects. Tipper hits are notated as 236X!

• Tipper air hit causes opponent to be pulled in slightly, allowing for followup combos midscreen.
• Tipper hit guard crushes on block unless it is Barrier blocked.

• The last frame of the active frames has an extended tipper hitbox. This hitbox has unique properties:
  • Tipper air hit causes opponent to be pulled in slightly, allowing for followup combos midscreen.
  • Tipper hit guard crushes on block unless it is Barrier blocked.
• Floats on air hit

Fast thrust followup from 236 command dash. Short enough range to space a tipper off certain blockstrings but short guard crush time requires RC for followup.

Minus on block, but if properly spaced, the opponent will be out of range of their quick buttons and will be forced to use a higher commitment option if they want to take their turn back.

• The last frame of the active frames has an extended tipper hitbox. This hitbox has unique properties described in A Himeyuri and Juncture
• Knocks down on hit (emergency techable on air hit)
• Can shorten the distance travelled by holding 4 early into startup

Extremely long range thrust (almost fullscreen) that blows the opponent back and leads into easy combos in the corner. Great for forcing the opponent to respect you even fullscreen, as a spaced tipper hit will force them to either barrier (and give you frame advantage) or be guard crushed. Unlike A version, guard crush time is long enough to dash in and follow up meterless.

Command backflip. Can be canceled into dive followups, normals (hold 6), or additional 214 movements. Mai will maintain her air momentum when cancelling into her air normals. Note that this move has foot invuln from frame 1 and full invuln after frame 4, so it can be used to escape certain pressure strings (even most meaty lows).

Straight-down dive that is primarily used to get the most frame advantage at the end of an air combo. Charged version has a second ground hit that is significantly plus on block, so it can be used in pressure; however, the second hit will whiff (and the move will be punishable) if the opponent blocks while airborne.

At certain relative heights, even the uncharged version can combo into 236D.

Angled dive at a steeper angle than C version. Slightly more advantageous knockdown in exchange for less horizontal range, but otherwise fairly interchangeable. You'll primarily be using the charged version of this in combos to avoid same-move proration from doing C dive multiple times. Like other versions, charged version has a ground shockwave that is plus on block but will whiff on airborne blocking opponents.

Damage	GuardHow this attack can be guarded. Throws have their throw range listed instead.	StartupHow many frames the attack needs to go through in order to reach its active frames. The listed startup frame coincides with the move's first active frame.	ActiveHow many frames where there is a hitbox that can hit an opponent. The first active frame occurs on the listed startup frame.	RecoveryHow many frames that the character must go through after an attack's active frames to automatically go back to a neutral stance, or the total duration of the move if it has no hitbox/creates projectiles.	Frame AdvHow many frames the attacker's recovery ends before the defender's blockstun ends if the attack is blocked. A positive value indicates that the attacker recovers first, while a negative value indicates that the defender recovers first. This value usually assumes that the attack's first active frame (of each hit, if multi-hit) is blocked.	On ODRThe difference between the attacker's total animation length and the period the opponent is in overdrive raid. This frame advantage is based off the assumption that both players input during the hitstop of a prior move, so that this attack and ODR start on the same frame.	AttributeSome attacks are invulnerable to attacks with specific attributes. This notes what attributes each attack possesses. H - Head B - Body F - Foot P - Projectile. Independent projectiles will have their Durability level listed, e.g. a projectile with Durability level 2 will show P2 T - Throw D - Doll attack, such as Carl's or Relius' doll Burst - Burst, which has its own unique attribute	Invuln

Goes straight up, then comes down on the opponent. Not a true reversal since invul starts on frame 4. Primarily used as a combo ender. This attack can switch sides depending on how the opponent moves after activation. Additionally, Mai can RC the recovery leap back into a crossup AD > j.C.

• Can be canceled into off 236 command dash

Mai's metered reversal. That said it's not very good. It's unreliable for escaping pressure as the move only has guard point and no actual invulnerability until after the superflash, meaning that opponents can just grab you out of the attack if they react fast enough, on top of being very unsafe on block. It can be held to try to bait the opponent into pressing another un-RCable button before the superflash, but this is very risky.

• Hold to extend guardpoint and charge to different levels.

Has full invul but is relatively unsafe on block. Has good pushback but can be punished on regular block with fast pokes like Ragna 5B. Otherwise, usually requires instant block to punish. Knocks the opponent away to fullscreen.
