Overview
Overview

She has good range, strong pressure and explosive damage! Ferocious in battle and cute as a button - It’s May, everyone’s favourite Jellyfish Pirate.

Her signature move is Horizontal Mr. Dolphin, a powerful lunging attack. The S version is a fast blockstring ender and frame trapping tool, whereas the H version trades startup speed for frame advantage. Her c.S is a solid pressure tool and combo starter. Block happy opponents can be opened up with Overhead Kiss, a command grab that leads to devastating corner combos. Cycle these tools for a potent strike/throw mix-up.

May controls the mid range with f.S, 2S and 5H, a trifecta of disjointed normals that complement each other. Her marvelous 5K is a fast, dash cancelable poke that goes over lows. Combining these moves with Horizontal Mr. Dolphin makes for a strong neutral and solid pressure. Her swift jump and excellent aerials, most notably j.H, provide her with great aerial space control. She’s also packing a good anti-air in Vertical Mr. Dolphin. At longer ranges, she can apply pressure with Arisugawa Sparkle, a projectile attack best used as an okizeme tool due to its massive frame advantage on block. Most of her defensive options are mediocre at best, but it’s a small price to pay for such a solid moveset.

If you’re looking for a versatile, mix-up heavy character with plenty of disjoints, or just want to throw dolphins at jerks, then play May today!

 May  May , classified as a Balance type, is a powerful attacker who specializes in charging at the opponent.

Pros
Cons
  • High Meterless Damage: May can dish out big damage off of counterhit anywhere on screen. She can easily convert into wallbreak and deal massive damage in the corner, especially thanks to her high RISC build.
  • Strong Strike-Throw: Her c.S is plus on block and enables scary frametraps, along with her damaging Overhead Kiss grab and ability to force mindgames after Horizontal Mr. Dolphin.
  • Aerial Game: A high and fast jump makes her tricky to catch, along with strong air normals like j.H, j.S and j.D. Many of her combos take to the air, and she has a strong crossup in j.2H for mixups
  • Fat Ground Pokes: 2S, f.S, and 5H are very disjointed, large, and powerful, allowing May to control space effectively. She also has a few faster, safer pokes with 5K and 2K.
  • Speed/Range Gap in Attack: Her aformentioned fat ground pokes either have a slow startup, recovery or a combination of both. Meanwhile, her safer pokes are stubby and unrewarding. Some characters with big and fast pokes can give a lot of trouble.
  • Notably Weaker Midscreen: May is greatly enabled in the corner, as her pressure and damage is far worse midscreen. Her Overhead Kiss is much less rewarding, its more easily stopped by Faultless Defense, and 5H [4]6H loops are a very reliable source of damage in CH or metered combos.

A quick jab and May's fastest normal, though it's not a very good anti-air. Hits standing and crouching characters, but can be low-profiled by some moves. Does its job as a quick mash button in scrambles or when May is under pressure, and can hit some punishes or gaps 2P couldn't.

A quick poke. Goes over many low attacks. Useful for pressure due to it's speed and range. Loses to most 6Ps, but against  Potemkin and  Goldlewis, both moves will whiff simultaneously.

  • Jump and dash cancellable
  • Dash cancel is -11 on block

May's strongest combo starter and go-to pressure and punishment tool at close range. Good for catching backdashes when opponent is trying to avoid her command grab. Hitbox is in front of May and reaches slightly above her head, so this attack can be used as a high-risk, high-reward anti-air.

  • Floats on air hit
  • Jump and dash cancellable
  • Dash cancel is -6 on block
  • c.S > 6H can be used as 3f frametrap or pressure reset, and is a true blockstring against standing Anji, Faust, Goldlewis, and Potemkin.

May's longest-range poke. This attack's hitbox extends significantly past May's extended hurtbox until recovery, making it an effective counter-poke. Good for catching people trying to jump out of the corner. Despite the upward angle, this attack can hit crouching opponents, but most low-profile moves will avoid it.

Uncharged Dust
  • Uncharged dust on-hit is 0 or neutral frame advantage and causes float

Universal overhead. Longest range dust attack in the game. However, it has no disjoint. Can be gatling from 5K, 2K, or c.S for a mixup.


Charged Dust
  • Charged dust leads to soft knockdown (+36).
  • Holding up during the hitstop frames of charged dust will activate homing jump:
    • Doing a homing jump will cause an area shift and put the opponent into a unique high damaging air combo state.
    • Pressing any attack twice without jump/dash cancel will activate the homing jump finisher causing a hard knockdown (+23).
    • Homing jump combos can sometimes increase meter balance enough to activate positive bonus.

Similar to uncharged but is slow enough to be reacted to, but if it does land it gives a very high damaging combo.

May crouches and swings her anchor over her head from front to back. The entire attack is very disjoint, making it a powerful, but high-commitment, anti-air and launcher. This attack is also a staple of May's combo strings because of its favorable launch properties.

  • Launches opponents up and away from May on hit. Launch effect is stronger on counterhit.
  • Soft knockdown on hit.
  • Can be special cancelled on block to make it safer.

May's sweep is quick and has good range. It combos consistently from 2K at all ranges, and is much more consistent with 5K. Along with its great active frames, fast startup and Hard KD property, it makes for a strong low poke in May's arsenal.

May's okizeme with Arisugawa Sparkle sets up annoying Strike/Throw scenarios with c.S/Overhead Kiss respectively, so landing hard knockdowns is a helpful way to keep the pressure up. If using Arisugawa Sparkle on okizeme, be sure to delay the attack long enough for the ball to actually hit on wakeup, since it's a quick projectile once it starts moving.

May crouches before sliding anchor-first on the ground. May's hurtbox is larger than the hitbox of this move, which means it usually trades or loses to other low attacks. Very punishable on block. Gives a soft knockdown which allows for a Meaty Hitting an opponent to cover the moment as they lose invincibility. The most common one is performing an attack early on okizeme to gain frame advantage and bait reversals. 5K afterwards.

  • Low profile during active frames
  • Leaves May at +16 on hit at worst

May swings her anchor upward in front of her. Causes a lot of hitstun and blockstun. Can be used for both space control and jump-ins, so it's a staple of May's neutral play. The hurtbox is larger than the hitbox, but the hitbox is so large and active that it's difficult for many characters to challenge in the air.

May slows her air momentum and rides her anchor to the ground. This can set up situations where it's difficult to predict May's trajectory in the air for either left/right mixups or jump-in/double jump/j.2H baits. May's hurtbox is much larger than the hitbox of this move, which makes it easy to punish with any anti-air attack.

May quickly grabs and kicks her opponent to the ground. Air throws are a universal anti-air option that work well when the opponent makes a predictable high jump-in or when the opponent jumps right next to you. Despite the hit and whiff animations, air throws require the opponent to be above and on either side of you to connect. Quick use of air throws can make opponents think twice about holding back-jump against May's strike/throw mixups.

May's premier special move up close and a nearly universal blockstring-ender. The hurtbox is larger than the hitbox, and the hitbox does not hit low profile moves or 6P, so low pokes and 6P will usually counterhit this attack. You will primarily use the held version, however the un-held version useful for mixups as it carries momentum and does not go very far. Mixing between the S and HS versions makes it difficult for May's opponent to land a counterhit. Spacing yourself out before S Dolphin allows you to whiff punish most normal attacks with good positioning. Enormously rewarding on counterhit, particularly in the corner.

  • Staggers on grounded counterhit
  • S unheld is useful to setup grabs on unsuspecting opponent
  • (HS only) Wall-bounces on air hit
  • (HS only) Non-OTG tumble on air counterhit

The S version of this attack is a quick anti-air. The HS version, while slower, travels in a much longer arc, and is commonly used as an anti-air and combo extender. When held down, both version extend the distance traveled. Mr. Dolphin Vertical is a mid attack on the way up and an overhead on the way down. The attack is disjoint while ascending, making it an excellent anti-air. May can use her double jump, airdash or attack on hit or block after recovery if she's still in the air. This is useful for combo extensions using the HS version of this attack or avoiding punishments after a blocked overhead.

  • (Ascending only) Hard knockdown on hit.
  • H point blank after landing is -4.

Mr. Arisugawa kicks a ball towards the opponent. The P version fires at a ~50⁰ downward angle, while the K version fires at a ~15⁰ downward angle. Mr. Arisugawa spawns the ball high above May, so avoid using it when the opponent is right in your face as it will likely whiff. Useful as a meaty projectile for okizeme and for on-the-ground pressure following a 6P counterhit.

Since it also gives you meter frame 1, you can super cancel this move if you almost have 50 meter and need a super, for example to wall break and knockdown.

  • The opponent can destroy the ball by hitting it with an attack.
  • After destroying the ball, the opponents attack will still be active, and they can cancel their move like normally.

  • Invincible from frame 1
  • Second hit knocks opponent away from May on hit

May's only true reversal and a useful move for forcing a wall-break. May hops on to Goshogawara the orca for a two-hit attack. The first hit, on the way up, is effectively a massive invulnerable uppercut. The second hit, when Goshogawara splashes down, sends the opponent flying and can wallbreak. If May uses a Purple or Red Roman Cancel during the move, she gets off Goshogawara, but the attack continues anyway, which can lead to an extremely damaging combo on hit or a potent high/low or left/right mixup on block at the cost of 100 tension.
