16:23 if I'm not mistaken in one of an older SNK media there was a panel where Mai said something along the lines of "Float like a butterfly sting like a bee... Ali got that from Shiranui" not only implaying Ali exists in this universe but was in fact a Shiranui clan trainee.

[@hadesthedarkhelm]

its is her win quote in svc chaos

[@LightModeIsHot]

Now I want an assassin's creed game starring a ninja-trained Mohammed Ali

[@jayro792]

The Muhammed Ali quote also is a reference from one of her win quotes in SVC abd FF where she says “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, Ali learned this from the Shiranui.”

[@Ibuybabyaliens]

Even tho Ali said this in 1964…..it’s a flawed quote by Mai

[@liamfoote7164]

​@@Ibuybabyaliensi dont see how that makes it flawed. Presumably the Shiranui clan existed at that point in fatal fury canon

[@niwaka273]

16:18 Ed's back taunt is a move called "Ali Shuffle", created by the very boxer himself. Guess someone in Capcom just likes referencing him. The Japanese name for Barlog is also heavily inspired by Mike Tyson ... so that's that.

[@jazzyfuture]

Don't forget Mike from Street Fighter 1 who is a different guy from Balrog!

[@D3Vlicious]

Mai references the Ali quote in one of the older games, so it's not just Capcom.

In some ways, maybe waiting a few days is better. Just speaking personally, I watched a couple reaction to Mai gameplay videos that day but got burned out by the time some of them came out. I was specifically waiting on rooflemonger's video, but because it came out a little later it's now sitting in my watch later while I'm currently watching this video and commenting on it. My point is, maybe there is some merit to ignoring the rush to be first sometimes.

[@shaunmcisaac782]

My favorite random Ali story comes from an episode of Behind The Bastards about Vince McMahon (of WWE fame). McMahon would tell anyone that would listen that he had once met Ali back in the 1970s and tried to get a boxing/wrestling cross promotion going. And to prove that kayfabe wrestling could be legit, McMahon put Ali in a sleeper hold during this meeting. Host: "We know this story is BS, because this was in the 70s, and Vince McMahon did not DIE in the 70s. Except it wouldn't have been the 1970s, Ali would have hit him so hard Vince McMahon would have traveled backwards in time 100 years and died in the 1870s."

Considering Balrog's original name was M. Bison, suspiciosly close to M. Tyson, yeah, he's been canonically there from the 90's.

[@D3Vlicious]

7"07 it's the opposite, Mai's projectiles traditionally recover very quickly in KoF and FF where she can do a Guile-style walk up after. So it seems Capcom is making them less of a zoning tool to balance that out in a Street Fighter game.

[@Tassadar4Ever]

The first to do so multiple days after it's release, that I think you are "first" in.

[@arles3741]

Inexplicable capybara :)

[@VenenoSX]

Some things, Mai has never been a zoner, she lacks of an reliable anti air in mosts games and her proyectiles are more a complement than a main tool, the fan toss has never been a charge motion, the charge was used for a special jump-like technique that is not allowed in SF games. And the super in the air, or an air version of a super its not that common in KoF, only a "very mobile type characters" has that feature. I only wanted to add some extra information to your alreally great analysis, thank you for the video Broski!
