Mai Shiranui Quick Combo Guide - The King of Fighters XIV (KOFXIV)
328-Please read the description-
v1.01
Guide for Mai's basic tools and combos to get you started playing The King of Fighters XIV. These combos may not be optimized, but range from beginner to intermediate in difficulty and should give you a head start in learning this character. Feedback and questions are welcome!
Footnotes:
*1 = The more you delay this move with dropping the combo, the more damaging the combo will be. Try and practice getting the max damage consistently.
*2 = If you end up in the corner after the qcb~hcf BD super is done, instead of Climax Canceling while Mai is in the air, wait until she lands.
*3 = Input qcb~hcf AC instead here, since Mai switches sides.
Additional notes:
Mai is an interesting character when it comes to exploring her combos. She doesn't actually have much practical combo potential. She lacks a lot of good juggling tools and her supers are awkward and can be tricky to implement. Advanced Cancels are pretty much useless with her, and Climax canceling takes a lot of effort. She also suffers from having some of her combos differ depending on her opponent's size, which can be a massive pain. Thankfully her neutral game is fantastic, with plenty of tools and anti airs. Even though her damage isn't amazing at the higher amounts of meter, I'd still consider placing her in 2nd or 3rd, because of how strong her Climax is.
