Story

Mai is Azure's version of Guilty Gear Strive May

Introduction

Mai is a versatile beginner friendly character that can exceel at doing anything

Strengths

Weaknesses

Space Control: Mai has dolphins, bubble, super and her big normals that let her fight from a range Marine Life: Possibly best move in the game, pay 100MT to win neutral and lock them down from fullscrren, or convert from any hit. Kid: Mai has a small body and falls fast, meaning things might whiff on her Anti Airing: 2M, Up Dolphin, j.L, j.H and Super. Take your pick Meterless Damage: Mai can crack 40-50 damage meterless from most hits, her combos aren't affected much by scaling due to j.L loops. Marine Life is a + on block reversal

Fragile: Mai is the only chatacter to have 110 HP instead of 125HP, this also coupled with the fact her only reversal is a super. Limited Movelist: Mai doesn't have any special moves, and so has less moves than anyone, meaning there's less to learn how to deal with. Damage Ceiling: Although Mai's damage is consistently good, she struggles to do over 100 dmg unless you attempt an inconsistent infinite combo that may randomly drop.

Combos

2L [5L] 2M 2H Alpha

The j.L Minigame

Mai's j.L, being the cornerstone of her combos, is also the source of a very inconsistent infinite.

The starter for the infinite can be anything that leads into j.L, even ground hits, because j.L picks up grounded opponents. The easiest and most consistent starter for the infinite is 2S.

Once the j.L chain has been started, you have to pay attention to how high the enemy is compared to you. Once the opponent reaches about level height with you, stop the chain and perform a delayed airdash, then immediately continue the chain. If done correctly and with a little luck, the airdash will stall you in the air while the opponent falls down, allowing you to extend the air combo.

If you resumed the chain too late, the opponent will recover. If you resumed the chain too early, the opponent may not fall down far enough. It is recommended to continue the chain slightly earlier if you are unsure about the timing, as early airdashes can be corrected later on, while late airdashes cannot.

If the game lags and causes you to miss the timing, you have a one-time use failsafe in the form of your double jump.
