Move List

Command Normals

Shoulder Tackle: 4+c

Short-ranged shoulder rush

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

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

Special Moves

霧散: 6+a/b/c

High 6a

Fast, upward, anti-air slash.

• Air blockable
• Jump cancelable on hit

High 霧散 adds a significant portion of Recover Meter 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 霧散 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: Nagamori, Misuzu, 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 霧散's use and frequency of is somewhat erratic. Primarily, low 霧散 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.
