Kawasumi Mai (EFZ)

Move List

Command Normals

Mist Finer: 6+a/b/c

High 6a

Fast, upward, anti-air slash.

• Air blockable
• Jump cancelable on hit

High MF (Mist Finer) adds a significant portion of juggle bar allowing extended IAD loops in/near the corner or an untechable knockdown option from mid screen.

Mid 6+b

Fast and long-ranged, mid-sectioned slash.

• Air blockable.
• Instant Cancleable only.

Mid MF is Mai's primary combo ender/extender versus the characters susceptible to it. However, against "short' characters, Mai must resort to "less conventional" enders (i.e. teleport, stand attacks/summon).

The following characters cannot crouch 6+b: Mizuka Magamori, Misuzu Kamio, Nayuki Minase (awakened), Kanna

The following characters can crouch 6+b under any condition: Mayu, Mio, Ayu, Sayuri, Kano, Ikumi, Unknown, Nayuki (sleeping)

All remaing characters can be hit by delaying the 6b just before recovering from hitstun.

Low 6+c

A quick, low sword strike to the feet.

• Special Move Cancelable (includes stand, ES, FM moves).
• Must be crouch blocked.

Low MF's use and frequency of is somewhat erratic. Primarily, low MF appears to be effective when staggering block strings, wheather they are prolonged or brief. A possible secondary use is biding time for IC meter or stand refresh.

Shoulder Tackle: 4+c

Short-ranged shoulder rush

• Mist Finer cancelable (high/mid only).
• special move cancelable (includes stand, ES, FM).
• Unairblockable.

When coupled with High MF, Shoulder Tackle is an effective way to extend corner combos vs "short" characters. A blocked shoulder tackle buffered into 412[a]/[b] also creates various crossup effects.
