May has huge damage from the right hits and hard to burst combos. Good mobility with a high jump arc and several advancing special moves. Mr. Dolphin special move in all its variants is a strong tool for pressure, combos and neutral. Strong normals with a plethora of disjointed hitboxes to control space and pressure the opponent.	May relies heavily on charge input moves which may not be to your taste. Relies mostly on strike/throw over more fancy mix-ups. Midscreen pokes don't convert into knockdowns or good damage without counterhits or meter.
