Starter Combos

Light confirms

Very Easy

5LP > 5LP/2LP > 5LP > 214MP
5LK~5LK~5LK

5LP is the light button confirm into a knockdown. Ed may be able to chain three 5/2LP together depending on his range from the opponent. Always end light chain on 5LP as 2LP is not cancellable into a special.

Generally, if Ed hit confirms 5LP, it is preferred to end with 236MP as he gains access to a knockdown. You can end with 236LP to leave the opponent standing and Ed at +3 frame advantage. When unsure, Ed can safely end the string with 5LP.

5LK can be cancelled into itself for a 3 hit target combo. The third hit is hit confirmable, so end the chain if the 2nd hit is blocked to remain safe. Third hit of 5LK leaves Ed at +1 and moves Ed closer to the opponent.

5MP starter

Easy

5MP > 5HP > KK~6P, 623MP

This is Ed's basic midscreen combo using his 5MP > 5HP target combo. He can also route into this combo from a 5HK, jump-in j.HP/j.MK, or from a drive rush cancel. Use 5MP > 5HP as a blockstring sparingly, as you need to use meter for a truly safe blockstring. Cancelling into 236P can be safe if spaced or lead to scenarios beneficial for Ed, such as baiting opponent to Drive Impact.

From the 623MP knockdown, Ed can use his command dash, Kill Rush (KK), for oki.

5MP starter

Medium

5MP > 5HP > KK~dl.6P, 214MP

Leaves Ed +42 in the corner, perfect for a safejump, meaty 236P oki, tether oki, or anything you want. Combo can also be done directly in the corner.

5MP starter

Medium

5MP > 5HP > 236HK, 623MP

Alternative to the previous Near Corner combo if you want to squeeze out a little more damage without using meter.

Drive Impact

Very Easy

PC DI, 5HK, 5MP > 5HP > KK~6P, 623MP

This is the same combo as the 5MP combo shown above.

Drive Impact

Medium

DI, 5MP > 5HP > 236HK, 623LP, 214MP

Blocked DI wallsplat in the corner. End with 214MP gives a safejump. End with 214HP for a bit more damage but no safejump.

Drive Rush Cancel Extensions

Mai can arbitrarily extend her combos after a cancelable button by drive rush canceling. This may be a good option if the opponent's health is low and Mai is able to finish them off by extending her combos for a bit longer. She can also extend her combos to gain access to better setups, or just for better corner carry.

5LP starter

DRC > Ender

For a single drive rush cancel extension,

5MP/2MP/2MK starter

DRC > Ender

For a single drive rush cancel extension, it is better to cancel into the second half of the combo SAMPLE for better damage and corner carry. Otherwise, this is the optimal full drive gauge dump route from a medium starter.

5HP starter

DRC > Ender

For a single drive rush cancel extension, it is better to cancel into the second half of the combo SAMPLE for better damage and corner carry. Otherwise, this is the optimal full drive gauge dump route from a heavy starter.
