*Additional Notes
- Mai is a "Lightweight" character
- Mai's counter holds are unremarkable with most of them dealing modest damage (52 on NH) and keeping the opponent close by. The Mid K & High P holds can knock the opponent away and can net environmental wall damage
- If you would like an alternate wall juggle, you can perform 6PP236K
- Whether you opt to rushdown or zone with Mai will be based on your playstyle, and the playstyle of the opponent along with their character (i.e. Do they have good defense against rushdown? Are they good at footsies? Are they patient in neutral? Etc.)
- 214P isn't safe anymore so it can't be utilized as a safe tracking option anymore; 4K will serve that role
- After a 6P+K stun (or any stun that leaves you at around +17 or greater), you can launch right away with H+K or 8K and connect an air throw for simple damage
- 4P is a great stun starter at i15 inducing a nosebleed stun
- Note that 2P+K is an instant hi-crushing mid punch, not a low
- Note that 3P actually isn't a special cancellable move, only 3PP, 3PK & 3P2K are follow-ups
- For the 66T, 66PK, Air~T combo, you need to buffer input 66PK right away after the 66T throw
- If you can connect 66K at tip range you can turn the move into a +Guard Break (GB) up to as much as +2 on block
