A.K.I.

Mai vs. A.K.I. (?%)

5LK~LK~LK Target Combo:
"Close" = point blank 5LK; "Far" = spaced out (e.g. 5LP, 5LK or DR~6MP, 5LK)


A.K.I.'s Punish	Close/Far start	Mai's Options
2HP	Close	🟨 j.214P (no reactable visual cue) Hits A.K.I. (can use OD version for higher reward) Risk consideration: late divekick is safe but can lose to jumps, while early divekick is unsafe if blocked
SA3	Close	🟧 j.214P just before Super freeze Hits A.K.I. (can use OD version for higher reward) Risky guess (could either eat an SA3 or a punish on blocked divekick) 🟨 Air SA2 after Super freeze Whiffs; very expensive bailout for such a low-reward option
