Gameplay Overview
Notable normal: cl.H, Dash Attack - Mai’s close Heavy makes her kick her leg straight up. If she’s in range to use this, it’s great for stuffing jumping and air dashing attempts, especially given how fast the attack is. It’s her jump cancellable Heavy, too, so you can follow up easily if you nail it.
Mai’s Dash Attack MIGHT be the fastest one in the game. It’s certainly fast enough, with good range, too. It’s going to help her pump out quite a bit of damage. Keep it in mind, but don’t get predictable with it.

- Mai tosses her fan. That’s about the extent of the explanation, really.
- Small, moves at a decent speed, hits once. A decent way to help her control a little space.

- Mai tosses her fan.
- This one moves a bit slower, and if it makes contact with the opponent at all, be it a hit or if it’s blocked, the fan goes up into the air and comes down.
- It can help Mai keep her opponent from moving too wildly, and is very good for corner nonsense.

- Mai spins, smacking the opponent with a flame attack that pops them into the air.
- Good for juggle situations, and you can easily follow up with a few things, depending on your position.

- This version of the move hits three times if you’re close enough, and still pops the opponent up.
- The options afterward still apply here, too, so it’s a good move.

- This move is usually what you want to use to end combos, as you’re not really going to be able to follow up on it, and if it’s blocked, you’re going to be very unsafe.

- This version of the move is much better, by and large.
- It’s five hits, and since the fifth happens late in the descent during the elbow, it’s much more safe, and if it hits, you can follow up with other stuff.

- Mai dives down at her opponent, fan in mouth.
- This can be one of Mai’s best moves.
- If used low to the ground, it recovers very quickly, and this move is one of the few that can be hit multiple times in a combo, giving you a lot of room to extend on them.
- Be careful using it higher up, because you’ll be left open.

- This version can hit 3 times, and has the same properties as the normal version, with the added bonus of faster startup.

- This move is a souped up version of her normal Shinobi-Bachi.
- 6 hits on the ground, 7 hits in the air.
- As with any other super, despite its solid startup invul, be careful tossing this out at random, or else you’ll be punished.

- Mai focuses, and a flame sprouts up high, launching the opponent into the air.
- This move has very little horizontal range, but due to its nature, serves well as an anti-air attack.
- It also has some startup invul to it.
