Mai is NOT what you are expecting ( Mai trailer breakdown)

[@jayro792]

If there’s anything to learn from previous gameplay trailers such as AKI’s or Terry’s is that there’s always more than what meets the eye. So you got to reserve judgement until she’s released.

[@kingj521]

There's a Wall bounce combo I learned with Luke that's more Fatal Fury than Terry Bogard Himself.

[@odd_cup_of_coffee]

I would like to see more charge characters added to the game, it feels like charge inputs get a lot of unjustified hate

[@juanbarb57]

I've been playing FGs for years now, I STILL cant wrap my head around charge motions, and I tried man, I played Chun in SF6 and May in GGST, it just never clicked, I STILL can't do Chuns st.mp > cr.mp > charged SPB consistently in training Mode, not even mentioning the online matches, I just cant do it, and I'd call myself an intermediate player, when I'm introducing my friends to FGs, explaining charge inputs to them is an instant confusion, I'm honestly not that surprised that devs have been slowly reducing these inputs when introducing new characters, I understand that that kinda sucks out the uniqueness of each character a little bit but honestly, it allows me and, I think, many other players to pick up Mai without much trouble and frustration.

Its not unjustified at all 😂

[@DenDensetsu]

Shame she wont have charge inputs. That barrier to entry is a part of what makes charge inputs great. 😏

[@MCMuraFGC]

I have seen many comments say that Mai is just gonna be another Guile, i don't think so. So early impressions suggests to me that Mai will probably not be that great as a fireball zoner character if indeed her regular fireballs loses to other projectiles and tackle moves and drive rush normals can deflect them and beat it. Because normals deflect her fans as well, i don't see her being that good at using the non charged fireball in a FB > DR scenario. because the opponent can just use an active normal to check the fireball and the DR with a single move. However, if she did get the charged fireball then her FB > DR becomes incredibly stupid. I need to see how She will function once the fire buff is there as well, really hoped that Capcom will make her able to use the buff or not on command like Ryu and not be forced to use em, also we need to know if the stocks will carry over. She looks pretty cool, really can't wait and that COTW skin is fire.

[@tiguilherman_plays]

normal fans are weak but they evoke a response from the opponent. we still dont know the frame data (fan recovery) to see how advantageous she is to respond to that and thus how good of a bait character she is, so its definitely too early to say anything.

[@lazywinmystical8378]

[@javito0081]

You can make them regular projectiles by holding the input

[@MCMuraFGC]

Counting frames that was a 60F total which is even slightly longer than Akuma's fully charged red fireball so i think its certainly something you will need to set up.

[@LucianRudeboy]

This is why you are the GOAT SF6 content creator - you take time to do the proper research and come forward with an informed opinion.

[@hcbabyssian8936]

How do you know what we were expecting? Mai is exactly what I had expected her to be and more.

[@MCMuraFGC]

I didn't expect Mai to have what seems like the best and worst fireball. On the one hand the charged version seems very oppressive with the context of dr, although because of how long the startup (Seems on par with an Akuma red fireball), it seems like you will need a setup to get this going. On the other hand a regular fireball losing to others and hits means that Mai can't freely engage in fireball wars. All of this suggests that Mai will be more of a setup/setplay based character or being the very annoying hit and run character she typically was. I am very excited to learn more about her, looks like a lot of fun

[@maaramori3404]

[@dlpheonix]

Its like ibuki kunais. Kunais were fucking broken. Also you can just make them regular projectiles very fast. The first 2 fan scenes show the difference. The "charge" time is literally just holding a button.

[@Harrytmik]

Akuma has the same mechanic and you don't see the charged fireball on every match. This game did a well implementation of "hold" mechanics.

[@MCMuraFGC]

Does seem similar to Ibuki's yes but the startup doesn't seem as fast. Charged version looks a bit slower than Akuma's red fireball too so i don't see it being a projectile you can throw easily unless you are full screen or after a KD like they did in the trailer

[@dlpheonix]

@ they show a premptive jump against a charge fan and she air throws as a punish cause theres apparently very little recovery. It should be a solid projectile against even guile/ryu spam.

[@CosmicRPG]

That DP gonna be one of the dangers of battling Mai, the same for her flame install and the overhead fans

[@josevitorcalfa2]

I get you, she will have, at the same time, the worst, and the best projectiles in the game. Not a traditional design, not a traditional SNK design as well. That all said, it would be insane if Mai had all that pressure tools AND could play the zoner as well. As I see, her fireball with it's charged mechanic works more like a pressure / rushdown mechanic. At a resources point of view, she will be explosive and hard to deal with, but extremely demanding, in true Mai fashion. EDIT: Mura, you are correct about her powered LV1 super, but you got the game wrong, not Final Fight 3, Fatal Fury 3 my dood. To be more specific, that exact same effect was present on Real Bout Fatal Fury (same sprites in use) as well.

[@MCMuraFGC]

Yeah i meant Fatal Fury but said FF by mistake sorry

No she's exactly what I expected and more so I can't wait

Mai is the first DLC character since Ed I´m interested to try. It seems you need at least a minimum of brain-activity to use her, wich has become so rare in SF6. Powerful install, aerial shenanigans and clever setups, it sounds really good to me.

[@HolyTrinity-bz4li]

I agree, her fans may not be all as people might think. Since her uncharged fans get outright beat by strike and fireballs things might be rough for Mai at round start. Especially if like you said her charged fireballs are 60f. The question is how easy will it be for her to land her Lvl1 because the quicker she can get those charges the better. Regardless I'm still excited to play her. I've been playing Chun since the launch of this game and I've never had a secondary character. Hopefully Mai will be!

[@MCMuraFGC]

I hope she is gonna be fun

[@huevonesunltd]

In KOF, at least in old school KOF her playstyle is to be annoying , poking you and running away but can play aggressive if she wants. but not the kind of run away where you sit and wait like Guile, more like a hit and run character, i guess like a slower Claw with a projectile. if they intended to keep that playstyle thats what we can expect but at the same time i don't know because she looks a bit more agressive than usual unless her pressure is supposed to be fake

[@hermontarmand2404]

I'm a Mai main since forever. Yes I agree with you. But in XV I think she's quite good. Good pokes. normals & mobility.

[@StreyX]

She's definitely going to need some good buttons because it looks like she'll have to play neutral to get lvl 1 and then run her game it seems.

[@MCMuraFGC]

I am really interested to see if these fire stocks are gonna carry over between rounds or not. Might make ending rounds with a lvl 1 super a very good strategy

[@judaspaladin1712]

In theory, i´m interested in this proyectile approach. Different to the run on the mill projectile that is used only for zoning or only shielding your advance toward the opponent. Let see how they implemented it. Also, if her normal moves frame data aren´t so great, Terry´s deja vus will be back. What I didn´t see was if Musasabi no mai (her dive "kick" in the air) has a ground version. That´s right , the charge motion one that in FF / KOF where you can decide to which wall MAI will fly into. Also in later KOFs entries you can do a lot of aerial trickeries using that Musasabi. But oh well, considering that Cammy with just a simple DIVE KICK has a lot of haters, imagine if Capcom add the Musasabi no Mai aerial tricks to her arsenal. Torches and forks in hand by all streetfighter community. requesting Mai´s head. "Only AKUMA is legit to do aerial tricks with his FLIP and also throw aerial fireballs!" Classical FGC hipocrecy. XD Waiting for her tutorial so we can have a deeper (and more real) knowledge of her! Great vid!

Get vid as always! From her gameplay, some of her moves look similar to Lily's. I feel lik Mai looks lik a different/stronger version of lily's overall gameplay (minus a command grab). The "dive kick", "dashing elbow strike" & stocking special moves, all work so much better than Lily's version of those types of moves. Lily's wind stock in combination with the special moves that can utilize the wind buff, just feels extremely weak when comparing all the things Mai's fire stocks can do for her special moves. I really hope i can use mai as a new main; and if not then got damn capcom just give Lily some cool shit lik Mai got lol.

[@NikolayNikoloff]

Honestly, I think Capcom could have done better, they had half a year to design her and so far I'm not impressed, I expected more to be honest. However, we gotta wait and see her full moveset when she is released. I think Ibuki in SFV was way more ninja than what I see from Mai in SF6. I'm really disappointed in the season 2 and the lack of content. In my opinion Capcom are doing the bare minimum or even less.

[@billyn7757]

I wonder if Mai will have a "denjin charge" deal or like a Jaime "drink" move for her fans. If it's just exclusive to only doing a super. At a high level, i doubt we will see a lot of Flame fan toss as much. Not having that Lvl 3 for damage imo will be a major flaw for the character. And if that happens. She will be the "AKI" of season 1 on release. Trash tier folks.

You need to read to the end. She has charged projectiles like Cammy her Spin Arrow. If you hold it they don't loose anymore and bounce on hit, OD allows for tossing 2 at the same time and continue with another 2 for 4 in total and all of them bounce.

[@MCMuraFGC]

Charged fans are 60+ frames startup. That's an Akuma red fireball and if you need that to engage in a fireball war or to zone a tackle move then like i said, its not just a projectile that you can throw out.
