Overview

Mei is a Long-Range speed character that excels at punishing Poor approaches, with a handful of projectiles to keep opponents on their toes.

While being zoner means Mei is comfortable playing at a distance, her speed and buttons make her equipped to play a decent up-close game. For starters Majority of Mei Buttons are safe on block with only some of her mix-up tools being punishable to reversals, In fact Mei has some plus on block Buttons which is rare for this archetype. Mei can stagger her pressure with minimal risk with her 5C being able to stagger into itself for big rewards on counter hit. Besides staggering Mei can also force a strike and throw mix with her Magical grapple. Its move with some start up but Mei can either get plus on block strike to resume pressure or a command grab that can catch standing or air born opponents. The light version only does a strike but it much quicker in start up and does an overhead strike that leads into a full combo. Magical grapple is also usable in the air.

Mei's main attraction would be her candy shot projectiles, Candy shoot comes in two flavor a small projectile and large one. The Small projectiles is the light version, which has mei shoot two or three projectiles that homes in on the opponent slowly. The large Candy shot is the opposite being bigger and faster with no homing but its beam proberetie meaning it eats other projectiles and while being difficult to clash against. Mei can use these prjectile both ground and air born, allowing her to Zone comfortably at any point One of Mei best strategy is the old traditional shoto fire ball into dp, since Magical impact is great at anti airing opponent with big benefits. Not only is light magical impact AUB, but it also causes a soft knockdown which makes it possible to combo off it.

While Mei is versatile in her gameplay, she is still a zoner at the end of the day and relies more on the opponent making mistakes than her own ability to open up her opponents. Mei pressure is mostly mids and when she does hit, her damage is below average.

Mei having the ability to pester her opponent from afar until their condition to approach passively, from their she can shift gear into aggressive play style. Play who like character who are multifaceted will like this character.

Playstyle

Mei is classified as Long range Speed. She zones with a multitude of projectiles and pressure with strike/throw mixes.

Strengths

Weaknesses

"Candy Shot"-Zoning: This zoning tool can either box out opponents or lock them down, it being usable in the air is also handy. Tricky Pressure: With fast button that either resets pressure or allows mix up, Mei is one of the few zoners that can stay advantageous on block. Decent anti-air: MMei buttons and projectile keep the opponent from jumping in on her, and Magical impact has big rewards on hit. Versatile phantom breaker: Seventh Heaven Shot is a beefier of All-range-attack minus the invicbility. While super magical impact is invincible at start-up and can be used in the air.

Low damage: Mei Damage output is generally low outside of Counter burst starters and risky starters. Turtling: Mei's Pressure starts to falter when the opponent commits to low blocking. Stubby normal: With very short normal, Mei struggles to use her normal outside of close quarters and tends to need projectile to cover her approaches. Poor defensive: Magical grapple impact is only waist-high invincibility, and she struggles to deal with low attacks.

Special Moves

6SP

Candy Shot/Candy Mega Shot[Enhanced] 6SP (Air OK)

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancel Guard Attribute Light - - - - - - - - Mei creates three small projectiles that track towards the opponent. While the tracking on this move is overall pretty good the projectiles do not move in a straight line leading to situations where not all the shots will hit especially against crouching opponents. However the erratic movement of the projectiles also makes them harder for the opponent to avoid by jumping and in general this move is very good at filling up screen space and making it difficult for the opponent to approach. The main weakness of this move is it's relatively slow startup, on the flip-side it has very little recovery and the long amount of time the projectiles remain on screen makes it fairly good for oki and as a tool for covering Mei's approach. The air version of this move instead has Mei point downward creating two projectiles. This version is mostly useful for when the grounded version is less safe, such as against opponents with full screen projectiles of their own. The air version comes with it's own risks as Mei will fall immediately after and be vulnerable until she lands. Medium - - - - - - - - Mei fires a single large fast projectile straight in front of her. In the early phase of this attack the projectile will hit 3 times making it decent for beating out opponent's projectiles. In the later phase the attack it will only hit once and generally not interact with other projectiles. In Quick and Omnia styles the 3 hit phase of the projectile lasts till about halfway between starting position and will the continue full screen. In Hard style Mei will only get the 3 hit part of the attack if it hits right in front of her and the projectile will travel just short of fullscreen. All versions of this projectile whiffs crouchers. The air version of this move is essentially the same except it also ricochets Mei back a bit when used. This version is mostly for air to airs and some air combos as it will almost always whiff against grounded opponents. Heavy (100%BG) - - - - - - - AUB In the Quick and Omnia style Mei will fire three bigger versions of her medium Candy Shot that each hit 3 times. In Hard style she instead fires a single large projectile that hits 8 times. Unlike the medium version this projectile will hit crouchers. Similar to the medium Candy Shot the air version is essentially the same as the grounded version. Unlike the medium version this move has the advantage of being air unblockable and being large enough to potentially hit standing opponents.

2SP

Magical Impact/Magical Strike[Enhanced] 2SP

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancel Guard Attribute Light - - - - - - - AUB Mei lunges upward before bringing her wand down on the opponent. The initial lunge consists of 2 hits that are both air-unblockable. The wand swing is an overhead that hits 3 times. Decent anti-air/reversal option that does very well in clash wars, however is quite unsafe on block and cannot be cancelled into anything. Medium - - - - - - - - Very similar to the light version however this version goes further forward. Unlike the light version the first 2 hits of this move are not air-unblockable and it otherwise has most of the same strengths and weaknesses as the light version with it's main advantage being it's increased reach. Heavy (100%BG) - - - - - - - AUB Mei does several small flips a good distance forward before bringing her wand down for the final strike. Hits a total of 9 times. This move is fairly different from the light and medium version as it does not work well as and anti-air since the first few hits will go under most jumpers (though like most enhanced moves it is air-unblockable). Also unlike the medium and light versions all hits of this move are mids. This move however is still a strong option as a reversal or guard cancel and good ender in certain combos. This move can also hit OTG opponents and will pull them up guaranteeing they get hit with the entire attack.

4SP

Magical Grapple 4SP (Air OK)

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancel Guard Attribute Light - - - - - - - - Mei rolls forward a short distance before striking the opponent with her wand, if the wand hit is successful Mei will the grab the opponent before throwing them into the air. The first part of this move hits mid, the second hit is an overhead and the final is a hit grab that only activates if the overhead is successful. A somewhat slow overhead option that provides for some decent combo options when successful. The air version is a completely different attack, essentially being the flip from the medium version but with a slightly different arc, going higher, but not as far. Medium - - - - - - - - Mei performs an aerial flip with two different follow ups by pressing any button either close to or further away from the opponent. This move is similar to Yuzuha's Diving Eagle move however for this move the flip itself is not an attack. The air version of the flip mostly the same and has the same follow-ups, just with slightly more downward arc. If Mei does the follow-up close to the opponent she will perform an unblockable command grab where she scoops them up before driving them into the ground. Mei can grab opponents either standing or in the air, however getting close enough to grounded opponents to use this move is very difficult but still technically possible. Does a nice chunk of damage but cannot be comboed from. It does however leave Mei at enough of an advantage to restart her offense or otherwise continue the battle at her pace. If Mei does the follow up away from the opponent she perform a vertical spin with her wand hitting all around her. This attack is plus on block and leads into an easy combo on hit. It is also possible to cross-up with this move making it an extremely strong tool for starting Mei's offense. Heavy (100%BG) - - - - - - - - Mei performs a flip with a larger arc than the medium version. The air version of the flip is mostly the same and has the same follow-ups, just with slightly more downward arc. The close follow-up command grab is mostly the same as the medium version just with increased damage and the gap between Mei and the opponent after is wider. If Mei does the follow-up away from the opponent the move changes more from the medium version. Mei will now points her wand down and shoot out sparkles similar to her j.2C. This attack is an overhead and the hitbox on it is deceptively big both vertically and horizontally, however despite being a enhanced special it is air blockable. On a Critical hit this move will also cause a hard knockdown.

Phantom Breakers

Quick Super Attack

Seventh Heaven Shot 5H+SP (200%BG)

Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancel Guard Attribute - - - - - - - AUB Mei creates 7 large projectiles around her that then home in on the opponent. Each projectile hits multiple times, but the exact number of hits this attack cause varies greatly. Very good damage on hit and can cause quite a lot of chip on block. Slowish start-up makes it difficult to use in combos, so it's probably best used as a punish or as a fullscreen anti-air.

Hard Super Attack

Magical Smash Arrow 5H+SP (Air 0K)(200%BG)

Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancel Guard Attribute - - - - - - - - Mei jumps into the air and performs a devastating magical dropkick. Mostly used as a combo ender as is confirms well from most of Mei's attacks and the damage scales very well. It can even hit opponents OTG. It does however whiff against crouchers if they are right in front of you. Causes a hard knockdown. This move is also one of the few supers in the game that can be used in the air, making it useful for both air combos and a a strong air-to-air option. The air version also travels farther and has Mei fall at a diagonal angle, making this move cover a huge area though not quite fullscreen.
