| Canceling {{clr|M|2MK}} into {{clr|DR|Drive Rush}}, as with many characters, is a great way to begin her offense.

| After a corner side switch, Mai can only pressure with a spaced meaty normal or a {{clr|DR|Drive Rush}}. Attempting a {{clr|DR|DR~}}Throw requires strict timing to beat reversal normals, and allows the opponent to react with an invincible reversal that Mai cannot block.
| | Midscreen, Mai's oki is very limited; {{clr|DR|DR~}}{{clr|H|5HP}} can be hitconfirmed while {{clr|DR|DR~}}{{clr|M|5MK}} links to {{clr|SA|SA2}} on hit. Neither option is very powerful on block, and runs the risk of being Perfect Parried. |

|
| {{clr|DR|DR~}}{{clr|L|2LK}} is probably Mai's strongest option for oki, as it leaves her {{sf6-adv|VP|+8 oH}} / {{sf6-adv|VP|+4 oB}}; Mai has several options afterward, including {{clr|H|4HK}} which sets up a TC corner juggle on hit, and a strong trade combo if the opponent mashes a 4f on block. {{clr|DR|DR~}}{{clr|L|2LK}} is also an auto-timed safejab setup vs. 10f or slower reversals, making it very hard to deal with for some characters. | | After a corner side switch, Mai's only meterless options are spaced-out pokes or {{clr|L|LP Ryuuenbu}}. {{clr|DR|Drive Rush}} can give better pressure, but allows the opponent to react with an {{clr|OD|OD}} reversal for a punish. The following are Mai's most common oki tools after a corner side switch: |
| | * {{clr|DR|DR~}}Throw: requires strict timing to beat 4f jabs |
| | * {{clr|DR|DR~}}{{clr|L|2LK}} ({{sf6-adv|VP|+8 oH}} / {{sf6-adv|VP|+4 oB}}): links to {{clr|H|4HK}} on hit, setting up a strong corner juggle |
| | ** Auto-timed safejab vs. 10f or slower reversals |
| | ** On block, hit {{clr|H|4HK}} anyway; single-hit confirmable and will link into itself if it trades with a 4f jab |
| | ** Only {{sf6-adv|VM|-7}} vs. wakeup Perfect Parry, potentially resulting in a weaker punish |
| | * {{clr|DR|DR~}}{{clr|H|4HK}} ({{sf6-adv|VP|+7 oH}} / {{sf6-adv|P|+3 oB}}): links to {{clr|M|2MP}} on hit and guarantees a {{clr|H|214HP}} juggle |
| | ** Hits slightly later, making it less likely to be Perfect Parried; leaves Mai in Throw range |
| | * {{clr|DR|DR~}}{{clr|M|2MP}} ({{sf6-adv|VP|+10 oH}} / {{sf6-adv|P|+2 oB}}): links to {{clr|H|5HP}} on hit |
| | ** Mai is left outside her Throw range and has generally weaker frame trap options |
| | * {{clr|L|LP Ryuuenbu}} ({{sf6-adv|VP|+7 oB}} / {{sf6-adv|E|0 oB}}): high pushback and safe, but can only link to {{clr|SA|SA2}} on hit |

| A great air-to-air option against close range jumps, especially attempted corner escapes.

| A unique projectile that requires Flame Stocks or charge time to become a real threat. Kachousen is unsafe on block, so fireball cancels must be spaced out to avoid giving the opponent a free turn. The default version of Kachousen has the lowest possible priority, meaning it loses completely to other standard projectiles, and can even be swatted away with any strike hitbox. If an airborne opponent is about to land on a fan, they can come down with an air normal to harmlessly destroy it. Swatting the fan counts as whiffing the attack, so the opponent cannot cancel a clashed normal (with the exception of light normals canceled into a 3-bar {{clr|DR|Drive Rush}}). | | A unique projectile that requires Flame Stocks or charge time to become a real threat.

| {{clr|OD|OD Kachousen}} is one of Mai's most important tools, offering her a safer way to start offense; it is much less risky than the held version while losing most of the weaknesses of her meterless fans. Because it is only one hit, it isn't a great counter to zoning characters who generally have 2-hit {{clr|OD|OD}} projectiles. On contact with the opponent, the {{clr|OD|OD Fan}} bounces upward before dropping down for a follow-up hit. This gives Mai time to move in and force a mixup if she throws it from longer ranges; from a close range cancel, Mai is negative and the opponent can safely press a button before blocking the descending fan. | | {{clr|OD|OD Kachousen}} is one of Mai's most important tools, offering her a safer way to start offense; it is much less risky than the held version while losing most of the weaknesses of her meterless fans.

| Much like the regular {{clr|OD|OD Kachousen}}, all meterless held versions bounce upward on hit or block. The bounce height of the fan depends on which strength was used, with {{clr|L|LP}} having a very short bounce and {{clr|H|HP}} bouncing the highest. These bounce differences allow for different mixups and pressure sequences, and when used from closer ranges the opponent will have little time to react to which strength was used. While Mai is lightly minus on block after the held fan connects, many setups give her the advantage to pursue stronger block pressure. | | Much like the regular {{clr|OD|OD Kachousen}}, all meterless held versions bounce upward on hit or block.

| {{clr|OD|Held OD Kachousen}} works a bit differently; Mai throws two single-hit fans which do NOT bounce on contact with the opponent. These fans grant massive frame advantage on their own, and can lead to a powerful Midare Kachousen follow-up at no additional cost. At close range, this has an interruptible gap, so it may be better to skip the follow-up if the opponent has a reversal. | | {{clr|OD|Held OD Kachousen}} works a bit differently; Mai throws two single-hit fans which do NOT bounce on contact with the opponent.

| The Flame-enhanced Ryuuenjin offers slightly more damage and knockdown advantage, which can affect Mai's oki options. Due to how the damage is distributed, it can actually deal less damage on an early anti-air attempt where only the final hit connects.

| | Mai summons a fire pillar around her body that reaches high into the air, building 5 Flame Stocks to power up her moveset. The attack has very short horizontal range like the animation suggests. {{clr|SA|SA1}} works exceptionally well as a close range anti-air, even against cross-ups, but it doesn't play well in most midscreen juggles; even canceling from a normal doesn't guarantee it will reach. {{clr|SA|SA1}} has fast startup, making it consistent as a corner juggle ender and as a reversal unless the opponent uses a meaty projectile. When stuffed by a projectile, Mai will not build any Flame stocks. |
| | |
| | On a successful hit, Mai's midscreen oki is fairly limited, with ranged {{clr|DR|Drive Rush}} buttons like {{clr|M|2MK}} or {{clr|H|5HP}} being her best options. Her {{clr|DR|DR}} momentum doesn't carry her far enough for a meaty throw unless she is close to the corner. On an anti-air hit, the extra KD advantage improves her oki slightly, but the momentum still isn't great for getting into throw range. It does give much more time for a safe Held Kachousen, however. |
| | |
| | The utility of Flame Stocks means that Mai has to put more thought into her use of {{clr|SA|Super}} meter than most characters. Instead of saving 3 bars for the damage and Drive properties of {{clr|SA|SA3}}, Mai often has more to gain from a full set of enhanced moves. This is especially true in matchups where her enhanced {{clr|SA|SA2}} can shut down projectile zoners. On the other hand, ending a round with {{clr|SA|SA1}} can feel like a waste since the stocks don't carry over between rounds. |
|
| |
|
| | Because {{clr|SA|SA1}} has a projectile hitbox, it can lose or trade with some projectile invuln attacks. For example, Lily can use a meaty {{clr|OD|Windclad OD Condor Spire}} for plus frames on block while being completely immune to a reversal {{clr|SA|SA1}}. |

| | Functions just like a regular {{clr|SA|SA1}}, but has slightly enhanced horizontal range in both directions. This opens up some more combo opportunities midscreen and makes it nearly impossible for airborne opponents to avoid. The Flame Stocks are refilled up to 5 regardless of how many she started with. |
| | |
| | The knockdown advantage is improved on hit, making it much easier to reach the opponent for midscreen oki or set up a Held Kachousen. It also pops the opponent much higher into the air; on a high air connect, she can follow up with {{clr|SA|Flame SA2}} for huge damage. The juggle potential of {{clr|SA|Flame SA1}} itself is lower than the original in order to prevent looping juggles. |
|
| |
|
| | If the attack whiffs, {{clr|SA|Flame SA1}} has an incredibly long active and recovery period that allows the opponent to set up installs; Jamie can even take 2 drinks and still get an easy punish afterward. At the same time, opponents who haven't practiced this scenario may find themselves walking or jumping into the flame pillar. |

| | {{clr|SA|SA2}} is a great juggle ender that pushes the opponent toward the corner and gives enough knockdown advantage for oki anywhere on the screen. You can usually charge up a Held Kachousen safely if the opponent doesn't have a long range anti-fireball {{clr|SA|Super}} stocked. It's important to juggle manually into {{clr|SA|SA2}} rather than canceling from {{clr|OD|OD}} specials, as it will usually whiff or lose several hits of damage. Just be aware that some juggle starters, such as {{clr|H|4HK}}~{{clr|H|HK}}, don't launch high enough to juggle into 7-frame moves. |

| | {{clr|SA|Air SA2}} is primarily used as a combo tool from {{clr|M|j.MP}} as an air-to-air or after a {{clr|OD|236KK}} launch. It also links after {{clr|L|5LK}}~{{clr|L|LK}}~{{clr|L|LK}}; on a blocked Target Combo, it can also help Mai escape some punishes on reaction (though this is generally a poor use of resources). On hit, Mai generally gets poor oki outside the corner, though the exact knockdown advantage depends on how it connects. |
| | |
| | While a bit tricky to use, {{clr|SA|Air SA2}} can actually be a better anti-projectile tool than the grounded version, especially at longer ranges where the invincibility runs out. If you buffer your 236236 motion in neutral, you can react to a midrange fireball with 9+K to complete the Tiger Knee input (2362369K) for a minimum-height {{clr|SA|Super}}. This may take opponents by surprise if they assume you need a Flame Stock to punish their projectiles. |
|
| |
|
| | If blocked, Mai is likely to fly over the opponent. If done from very close range, this may be difficult to punish for some characters. From mid range (such as a poorly-predicted Tiger Knee {{clr|SA|Air SA2}}), she will land close enough that most characters can reach with one forward dash. |

| | The Flame version of {{clr|SA|SA2}} skips the initial cartwheel, causing Mai to launch herself across the screen at lightning speed. Combined with its additional projectile invincibility, zoners will have to treat Mai the way they treat a Cammy with {{clr|SA|SA3}} ready to go. It works similarly well as a whiff punish tool or as a fast reversal, but the fast movement speed causes it to whiff under most jumps when used as an anti-air. Activating from longer ranges can cause Mai to whiff some of the earlier hits, resulting in less damage. |
| | |
| | {{clr|SA|Flame SA2}} is a great combo ender with a ton of juggle potential and corner carry. If it reaches the corner, Mai can always follow up with {{clr|L|623LK}}, and higher juggle connects allow even more. If you have 3 Flame Stocks and want to dump some meter, you can even get a midscreen juggle with {{clr|OD|214PP}}, {{clr|SA|Flame SA2}}, {{clr|OD|623KK}} for big damage. Just like the non-Flame version, it's always better to manually juggle into this {{clr|SA|Super}} rather than canceling into it from {{clr|OD|OD}} specials, as it will usually whiff most or all of its hits. |

| | The enhanced {{clr|SA|Flame Air SA2}} doesn't offer much over the regular version aside from the extra 200 damage. As a long range air-to-air, the faster movement speed can guarantee more hits connect, but this isn't a very common occurrence. It's also slightly better against fireballs when input with a Tiger Knee motion (2362369K), but there's little reason to attempt this when a grounded {{clr|SA|Flame SA2}} works just as well. |
|
| |
|
| | {{clr|SA|Flame Air SA2}} can still be worthwhile after air-to-air {{clr|M|j.MP}} or {{clr|L|5LK}}~{{clr|L|LK}}~{{clr|L|LK}}, but the grounded version is a better use of a Flame Stock in any scenario that allows it. |

| | Mai takes a small step forward and attacks with her fan, entering a cinematic on hit. If the first hit whiffs, she performs a small forward-moving uppercut that launches the opponent upward. If all 3 non-cinematic hits connect, Mai will be close enough to juggle {{clr|H|623HK}} afterward to make up for some of its lost damage. |
| | |
| | Like most {{clr|SA|SA3s}}, this can be used as a powerful combo ender while helping to win the Drive Gauge war. It can often be juggled into directly, but the most common way to land it is to cancel the 2nd hit of a 236K Cartwheel; it will come out even if the cancelable cartwheel frames whiff mid-combo. Unlike most characters, however, saving meter for a Level 3 is not a foregone conclusion, as this locks her out of using her Flame-enhanced moveset. Deciding how to best use her {{clr|SA|Super Gauge}} is one of the main factors that differentiates Mai players. |
| | |
| | At 10 frames of startup, {{clr|SA|SA3}} is not usually worth attempting as a reversal. Her other invincible moves cover every possible scenario without having to worry about safejab setups that beat slower reversals. It does work pretty well as a long range anti-air, but it should be input right as the opponent starts descending or else they might safely land with an empty jump. |
| | |
| | Mai gets fairly strong oki after both {{clr|SA|SA3}}/{{clr|SA|CA}} even midscreen. At KD +19, {{clr|SA|SA3}} + Forward Dash leaves her {{sf6-adv|P|+1}} within throw range; while the opponent can mash a 4-frame to beat throw, Mai gets an easy 2-hit light confirm to counter this. Other options include cancels from ranged {{clr|H|5HP}}, chasing with {{clr|DR|DR~}}{{clr|M|2MP}} ({{sf6-adv|VP|+12}}/{{sf6-adv|VP|+4}} out of throw range), or {{clr|DR|DR~}}{{clr|H|4HK}} ({{sf6-adv|VP|+8}}/{{sf6-adv|VP|+4}} in throw range). |
|
| |
|
| | After {{clr|SA|CA}}, Mai is left {{sf6-adv|P|+2}} after a Forward Dash but slightly farther away. She can still pressure with {{clr|L|2LK}}, {{clr|L|2LP}} to punish walking back while beating 4-frame normals. Mai requires a microwalk in order to throw most characters here, but wide characters are more susceptible; Marisa, Blanka, and E. Honda can be thrown unless they back walk, and Zangief has to take a true strike/throw mixup. Spending meter for {{clr|DR|DR~}}{{clr|H|4HK}} leaves Mai at {{sf6-adv|VP|+9}}/{{sf6-adv|VP|+5}}, setting up a frame trap or microwalk throw on block or a {{clr|H|5HP}} confirm on hit. |
