Special Moves

Ryuuenbu
qcb+A/C
Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv
- - - - - - -

Mai spins and creates a trail of fire with her tail. Nullifies projectiles upon contact.

  • A version = Hits somewhat later, launcher in the corner.
  • C version = Hits almost instantly and hits twice. Because its first hit lands faster than A version, using the C version makes certain combos possible. Normally unsafe on block, but can be made plus if done meaty.
  • EX version = Go-to launcher for every situation, regardless of the position on the stage or during a combo. Hits 3 times and has similar startup to the C version.


Kachousen
qcf+A/C
Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv

Mai's projectile. Despite being a projectile, its main purpose is usually not the zoning, but rather space control.

  • A version = The projectile travles slowly and Mai recovers quickly afterwards, giving her an opportunity to run behind it to apply pressure. This is the go-to move to end blockstrings due to its safety and distance on block. It is also the primary way of forxing the opponent to block on oki and after a restand,
  • C version = The projectile travels faster, but Mai doesn't racover quickly. This version can also be used during blockstrings and restands, but Mai can't really do much afterwards due to the slower recovery. Therefore, this version is more used as a pure zoning tool.
  • EX version = The projectile travels the same speed as the C version, but Mai recovers faster now. Hits twice, regardless if it gets blocked or if it hits. It just needs to collide with the opponent in order to activate the second part. It destroys projectiles, but depending on which projectile it collided with, different outcomes happen:

1) If it collides with a regular projectile, it will nullify it and continue its path.

2) If it beats one projectile and collides with a second projectile, it will get nullified and the opponent's projectile will keep going.

3) If it collides with Supermove projectiles, it will get nullified.


Hissatsu Shinobi-Bachi
qcf+B/D
Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv
- - - - - - -

Mai does a cartwheel and flies forwards with her elbow. Unsafe on block, but can be safer if a crouching opponent blocks it.

  • B version = Has faster startup, meaning it is the go-to version to end small combos, like off of cr.A.
  • D version = Most damaging meterless combo ender.
  • EX version = Launcher, hits 5 times on its own and usually 3 times during combos.

Mai performs a huge leap across the stage, depending on which version is chosen. Cancelable into Ukihane (j.d+B) at any point. If there is no wall nearby, she will just end up performing a jump. If there is a wall, she can either keep holding the button to perform Air Mussatatsbi no Mai, or do nothing to drop slowly to the ground (It's best not to go for this because she literally can't do anything in this recovery state).

  • There seems to be no difference between A and C versions, but it does affect the angles of the followup Air Mussatatsbi no Mai.
  • EX version = Yet another launcher to extend combos and travels the furthest distance. Can go into Ukihane (j.d+B) if needed, however, there is a better option. By doing j.qcb+AC, Mai will perform EX Air Mussatatsbi no Mai. This is the part of this move that allows further combos. Despite the input itself being like an EX move, it does not cost extra meter. During combos, it can either hit 2 or 3 times, but this doesn't really affect the options she can do afterwards.

Everything is the same as written above, except the fact this Backwards version cannot be used for combos.

Mussatatsbi no Mai (Air)
j.qcb+A/C

Mai flips in the air and flies at an downward angle. Frame data on this move is variable depending on the height of the jump, so it can be unsafe, slightly unsafe and even neutral on block.

  • A version = Mai flies at a 30° angle.
  • B version = Mai flies at a 45° angle.
  • EX version = Launcher. Hits 3 times if done high enough and is slightly minus on block.

Mai does a cartwheel, engulfs herself in fire and flies towards the opponent. Go-to Supermove due to the fact it can be done both on the ground and in the air. Hard knockdown upon contact.

  • Level 2 version goes through projectiles during the startup. The invulnerability stops once she has performed the cartwheel.

Same as the grounded version. This aerial version is usually done after doing Hissatsu Shinobi-Bachi, since that move leaves Mai in an airborne state.


Kagerou no Mai

Mai creates a huge pillar of fire around herself. Due to its lack of horizontal range, it must be done up close in order to connect. Can be repeatedly done in the corner in specific situations. Hard knockdown upon contact.

  • Nullifies projectiles, includeing Supermove projectiles. Level 1 version loses to Level 2 projectile Supers, but Level 2 version beats them.

Only Climax in the game that can be done both on the ground and in the air. Goes through the projcetiles (probably fully invincible for all attacks?), hits fullscreen and does huge damage. Integral part for Blowback hit confirm, as well as simply whiff punishing stuff on reaction. Can also be cancelled from Air Mussatatsbi no Mai.
