Standing Light Punch
5LP5L
Cancel Chn Sp SA
Notes Chains into 5LP/2LP/2LK; useful in combos due to its extra 1f hitstun over 2LP (combos naturally into 214LP/MP, 236KK, and has more utility in CH/PC/DR routes)
Standing Medium Punch
5MP5M
Cancel Sp SA
Notes Great range for a cancelable poke; solid hitbox priority; important combo tool from Punish Counter 2LP (works from max range); has an extended hurtbox on whiff until the end of recovery
Standing Heavy Punch
5HP5H
Notes Very long range for a cancelable poke; great for combos and whiff punishing; combos from PC/DR 5LP for optimal conversions; slightly less pushback on Counter-hit/Punish Counter (makes some ranged 214P cancels more reliable)
Standing Light Kick
5LK5L
Cancel Sp SA TC
Notes Very short range (only combos naturally from point blank 5LP/2LP); only useful for 5LK~LK~LK Target Combo
Standing Medium Kick
5MK5M
Cancel -
Notes Solid poke with good hitbox priority that can lead to combos with CH/PC/DR; links consistently into SA2 when used as a whiff punish; Mai lifts up her front hurtbox on frames 4-17 making it useful vs. low attacks
Standing Heavy Kick
5HK5H
Notes 3f extra recovery on whiff; Great range for a safe poke; Mai lifts up her leg hurtbox on frames 10-16 making it decent vs. low attacks; grounded Punish Counter causes a crumple state (opponent is airborne for all follow-up hits); airborne Punish Counter puts opponents into limited juggle state; extends a hurtbox 1f before active that is vulnerable to projectiles; extends a hurtbox at mid-height for the first 17 recovery frames, making it more whiff punishable by standing or high-angled crouching buttons
Crouching Light Punch
2LP2L
Notes Chains into 5LP/2LP/2LK; longest range of Mai's light normals; topmost hurtbox on frames 1-6 is vulnerable only to aerial strikes (preventing its use as an anti-air)
Crouching Medium Punch
2MP2M
Notes 2f extra recovery on whiff; good range for a cancelable 6f medium; the forward movement makes it riskier to whiff than similar attacks
Crouching Heavy Punch
2HP2H
Notes 2 hits; first hit has great hitbox priority for counter-poking and pulls the opponent closer on hit/block; useful as an approach or combo extension with Drive Rush; Counter-hit/Punish Counter advantage carries through both hits
Crouching Light Kick
2LK2L
Cancel Chn
Notes Chains into 5LP/2LP/2LK
Crouching Medium Kick
2MK2M
Notes Cancelable low poke with decent range; useful Counter-hit conversion after 5LP at ranges where 2MP whiffs; has an extended hurtbox on whiff until the end of recovery; DR cancel is delayed until after active frames
Sori Geri
2HK2H
Notes 1f extra recovery on block; 3f extra recovery on whiff; good hitbox priority vs. low attacks (can low crush many low pokes); has an extended hurtbox on whiff until the end of recovery
Hien Ren Kyaku 1
5LK~LK5LK~L
Cancel TC
Notes () refers to scaled damage; forces stand on hit; stopping after the second LK can be useful in combo extensions where a bouncing fan is falling onto the opponent; always a true blockstring
Hien Ren Kyaku 2
5LK~LK~LK5LK~LK~L
Cancel Sp* SA2*
Notes () refers to scaled damage; always a true blockstring; bounces far back into the air, usually keeping her safe due to pushback; can cancel the airborne frames into j.214P or Air SA2 (can be delayed significantly, allowing Mai to mix up her approach and gain better frame advantage); the divekick/SA2 can also let Mai avoid some moves that would otherwise punish the bounce; delaying too long will cause the follow-up to drop in combos (59f is the longest total hitconfirm window that still combos); divekick follow-up can lead to +42 safe jump if the initial 5LK is spaced out (e.g. DR~6MP, 5LK or DR~5LP, 5LP, 5LK)
Hoshi Kujaku 1
4HK4H
Notes Forces stand on hit (useful in DR combos involving 214HP); legs and lower body are anti-air invincible on frames 8-12 (great anti-air when used early, but leaves a tall standing hurtbox for the first 7 frames that can lose to strong vertical jump-ins); cannot hit cross-up; always a true blockstring when canceled into 4HK~HK TC (but very easy hitconfirm); strong oki tool that can be up to +7 oH / +3 oB when meaty
Hoshi Kujaku 2
4HK~HK4HK~H
Notes On hit, Mai performs a 2nd kick that is fully invincible until the end of recovery; in the corner, Mai can juggle into SA1 or 623LK/MK/KK; if the TC was juggled into, may also be able to juggle SA2 or 623HK; () refers to active/recovery/total on whiffed version if opponent is juggled too high
Senkotsu Uchi
6MP6M
Notes Fast overhead that can combo into lights with perfect meaty timing; spike knockdown vs. airborne opponents
Jumping Light Punch
j.LPj.L
Notes Fastest air-to-air option with good horizontal hitbox priority
Jumping Medium Punch
j.MPj.M
Cancel Sp SA2
Notes Puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state; strong air-to-air hitbox; lower body projectile invuln 7-22f except around attack hitbox (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)
Jumping Heavy Punch
j.HPj.H
Notes Good hitbox for vertical approach; lower body projectile invuln 9-23f except around attack hitbox (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)
Jumping Light Kick
j.LKj.L
Notes Cross-up; can be used as a fuzzy instant overhead (except vs. Blanka)
Jumping Medium Kick
j.MKj.M
Notes Cross-up; lower body projectile invuln 7-20f except around attack hitbox (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)
Jumping Heavy Kick
j.HKj.H
Notes Most horizontal range of Mai's jump-ins; lower body projectile invuln 10-23f (if used immediately on the way up, can avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)
Yume Zakura
j.LPLKj.LPL
Notes No real midscreen oki (can chase with a spaced Drive Rush normal); in the corner, can dash for +2 oki or Drive Rush for stronger pressure
Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi (Flame)
236HK236H
Cancel SA3 (2nd)
Notes Enhanced version that costs 1 Flame Stock; only the first 7 active frames of the 2nd hit are SA3 cancelable; puts the opponent into a limited juggle state (allows some follow-ups after high-connect juggles); SA3 cancel can occur on whiff when the first cartwheel connects (allows SA3 to connect during these high-connect juggles when the cancel window would normally have passed); combos from medium/heavy normals and Punish Counter 5LP, making it a solid combo ender and a great corner carry tool; reaches beyond full screen length; can be very plus if spaced perfectly or timed as a meaty (but very reactable startup in this scenario); 2nd hit active frames 7-15 whiff on crouching opponents unless they extend a vertical hurtbox; this makes it more interruptible by crouching attacks at long range, but makes it at least +2 when crouch blocked
Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi
236KK
Cancel SA2 SA3 (2nd)
Notes Stops after the 2nd hit on block; on hit, puts opponent into a limited juggle state (can follow up with air normals/specials/supers on frames 54-74); canceling the 2nd hit into SA2 whiffs (partial connect in the corner); Mai still performs the jump animation on whiff, allowing her to come down with an air normal (mostly a gimmick during charged Kachousen pressure); only the first active frame of the 2nd hit can connect on grounded opponents (the remaining 16 active frames only hit airborne); combos from 5LP, making it a useful damage/corner carry option even from light starters
Notes Enhanced version that costs 1 Flame Stock; no extra damage scaling, making it a much stronger combo route than regular version; stops after the 2nd hit on block; on hit, puts opponent into a limited juggle state (can follow up with air normals/specials/supers on frames 54-74); canceling the 2nd hit into SA2 whiffs (partial connect in the corner); Mai still performs the jump animation on whiff, allowing her to come down with an air normal (mostly a gimmick during charged Kachousen pressure); only the first active frame of the 2nd hit can connect on grounded opponents (the remaining 16 active frames only hit airborne); combos from 5LP, making it a useful damage/corner carry option even from light starters
236LK236L
Notes Only the first 6 active frames of the 2nd hit are SA3 cancelable; puts the opponent into a limited juggle state (allows some follow-ups after high-connect juggles); SA3 cancel can occur on whiff when the first cartwheel connects (allows SA3 to connect during these high-connect juggles when the cancel window would normally have passed); combos from any light normal, making it Mai's most consistent combo ender and a great corner carry tool; reaches about 80% screen length; can be very plus if spaced perfectly or timed as a meaty (but very reactable startup in this scenario); 2nd hit active frames 7-13 whiff on crouching opponents unless they extend a vertical hurtbox; this makes it more interruptible by crouching attacks at long range, but makes it at least +3 when crouch blocked
Notes Enhanced version that costs 1 Flame Stock; only the first 7 active frames of the 2nd hit are SA3 cancelable; puts the opponent into a limited juggle state (allows some follow-ups after high-connect juggles); SA3 cancel can occur on whiff when the first cartwheel connects (allows SA3 to connect during these high-connect juggles when the cancel window would normally have passed); combos from any light normal, making it Mai's most consistent combo ender and a great corner carry tool; reaches about 80% screen length; can be very plus if spaced perfectly or timed as a meaty (but very reactable startup in this scenario); 2nd hit active frames 7-13 whiff on crouching opponents unless they extend a vertical hurtbox; this makes it more interruptible by crouching attacks at long range, but makes it at least +3 when crouch blocked
Kachousen
236LP236L
Cancel SA3
Notes Slowest travel speed; low-priority 1-hit projectile that disappears when interacting with another strike or projectile hitbox (does not dissipate any hits of a standard projectile); clashing with a fan is considered a whiff (no extra hitstop or cancelability); can hold the button for 19f to charge to a stronger version; startup can increase up to 23f when partially held; puts airborne opponents into a limited juggle state; Mai has an extended hurtbox vulnerable to strikes on her leg (3-48f) and arm (16-42f)
Kachousen (Hold)
236[P]
Notes Charged version acts as a standard 1-hit projectile (does not dissipate on contact with strike hitboxes); puts airborne opponents into a limited juggle state; bounces upward on contact with the opponent, then drops downward for a follow-up hit; () refers to damage/hitstun values of the bouncing fan follow-up on hit or block; the listed frame advantage refers to the first hit at point blank range before the follow-up connects; any hit that connects after the follow-up bounce overwrites the fan's hitstun/blockstun; projectile speed depends on button strength (LP slow / MP medium / HP fast); bounce height depends on button strength (LP low / MP medium / HP high); the time difference between the first and second fan on hit or block varies based on this bounce height; Mai has an extended hurtbox vulnerable to strikes on her leg (32-62f) and arm (32-48f); LP Version frame gap before follow-up bounce: 2f stand / 8f crouch (on hit), 6f stand / 12f crouch (on block); MP Version frame gap before follow-up bounce: 19f stand / 25f crouch (on hit), 23f stand / 29f crouch (on block); HP Version frame gap before follow-up bounce: 31f stand / 37f crouch (on hit), 35f stand / 41f crouch (on block); all gaps are 1f smaller vs. standing Dee Jay, and 2f smaller vs. standing JP/Marisa/Sagat/Zangief which allows the LP bounce follow-up to naturally combo; tall characters cannot punish a close range 236[LP] with Throw before the bouncing fan connects, making them more susceptible to corner fan pressure (but they can weaken the mixup by trading with an immediate crouching medium/heavy normal); the bouncing fan does not trigger proximity guard (allowing back walk) and counts as an air attack (allows anti-air invuln moves to pass through)
Kachousen (Flame)
Notes Enhanced version that costs 1 Flame Stock; slowest travel speed; 2-hit standard projectile (cannot be dissipated by strikes); can hold the button for 19f to charge to a stronger version; startup can increase up to 23f when partially held; only the first hit is cancelable to SA3; puts airborne opponents into a limited juggle state; Counter-hit/Punish Counter advantage carries through both hits; Mai has an extended hurtbox vulnerable to strikes on her leg (3-45f) and arm (16-42f)
Kachousen (Flame+Hold)
Notes Charged/Enhanced version acts as a standard 2-hit projectile (does not dissipate on contact with strike hitboxes); bounces upward on contact with the opponent, then drops downward for a follow-up hit (this bounce is higher/slower than the non-flame version); () refers to damage/hitstun values of the bouncing fan follow-up on hit or block; the listed frame advantage refers to the first hit at point blank range before the follow-up connects; any hit that connects after the follow-up bounce overwrites the fan's hitstun/blockstun; projectile speed depends on button strength (LP slow / MP medium / HP fast); bounce height depends on button strength (LP low / MP medium / HP high); the time difference between the first and second fan on hit or block varies based on this bounce height; puts airborne opponents into a limited juggle state; Counter-hit/Punish Counter advantage carries through both hits; Mai has an extended hurtbox vulnerable to strikes on her leg (32-62f) and arm (32-48f); LP Version frame gap before follow-up bounce: 10f stand / 16f crouch (on hit), 12f stand / 18f crouch (on block); MP Version frame gap before follow-up bounce: 27f stand / 33f crouch (on hit), 29f stand / 35f crouch (on block); HP Version frame gap before follow-up bounce: 39f stand / 45f crouch (on hit), 41f stand / 47f crouch (on block); all gaps are 1f smaller vs. standing Dee Jay, 2f smaller vs. standing JP/Marisa/Sagat/Zangief; the bouncing fan does not trigger proximity guard (allowing back walk) and counts as an air attack (allows anti-air invuln moves to pass through)
236MK236M
Notes Only the first 3 active frames of the 2nd hit are SA3 cancelable; puts the opponent into a limited juggle state (allows some follow-ups after high-connect juggles); SA3 cancel can occur on whiff when the first cartwheel connects (allows SA3 to connect during these high-connect juggles when the cancel window would normally have passed); combos from medium/heavy normals and Punish Counter light normals, making it a solid combo ender and a great corner carry tool; reaches about 99% screen length (barely whiffs on fullscreen standing opponents); can be very plus if spaced perfectly or timed as a meaty (but very reactable startup in this scenario); 2nd hit active frames 7-15 whiff on crouching opponents unless they extend a vertical hurtbox; this makes it more interruptible by crouching attacks at long range, but makes it at least +3 when crouch blocked; sets up a safe jab vs. 9f or slower reversals (close range hit grounded hit into Dash + 5LP or 2LP)
Notes Enhanced version that costs 1 Flame Stock; only the first 7 active frames of the 2nd hit are SA3 cancelable; puts the opponent into a limited juggle state (allows some follow-ups after high-connect juggles); SA3 cancel can occur on whiff when the first cartwheel connects (allows SA3 to connect during these high-connect juggles when the cancel window would normally have passed); combos from medium/heavy normals and Punish Counter light normals, making it a solid combo ender and a great corner carry tool; reaches about 99% screen length (barely whiffs on fullscreen standing opponents); can be very plus if spaced perfectly or timed as a meaty (but very reactable startup in this scenario); 2nd hit active frames 7-15 whiff on crouching opponents unless they extend a vertical hurtbox; this makes it more interruptible by crouching attacks at long range, but makes it at least +3 when crouch blocked; sets up a safe jab vs. 9f or slower reversals (close range hit grounded hit into Dash + 5LP or 2LP)
236PP

236[PP]
Cancel SA2 SA3 (1st)
Notes Throws 2 single-hit fans (these fans do NOT bounce on contact with the opponent); has OD priority and cannot be dissipated by a strike; cancelable into a follow-up (~6P) that throws 2 additional fans at no extra cost; puts airborne opponents into a limited juggle state (does not affect any existing juggle state); Counter-hit/Punish Counter advantage carries through both hits; only the first hit is cancelable to SA2/SA3; Mai has an extended hurtbox vulnerable to strikes on her arm and head (28-58f)

Midare Kachousen
236[PP]~6P
Notes Throws an additional 2-hit projectile with OD priority (does not dissipate on contact with strike hitboxes); on contact with the opponent, the fan splits into 2 additional projectiles and bounces up before hitting on the way down; the two falling fans bounce at staggered heights, with the second hitting much later than the first; if 1 hit of the first Midare Kachousen is dissipated then the low bouncing fan does not appear; puts opponents into a limited juggle state if the initial Midare Kachousen fan connects, while the falling fans keep the opponent in grounded hitstun; () refers to damage/hitstun values of the bouncing follow-ups on hit or block; any hit that connects after the follow-up bounce overwrites the fan's hitstun/blockstun; Mai has an extended hurtbox vulnerable to strikes on her arm/head (28-79f); the listed frame advantage assumes Mai is at point blank range; there are small interruptible gaps on block before Midare Kachousen or the bouncing follow-ups connect; the exact gaps between falling fans varies greatly depending on spacing, standing/crouching, and character height; the bouncing fan does not trigger proximity guard (allowing back walk) and counts as an air attack (allows anti-air invuln moves to pass through)
Midare Kachousen (Flame)
Notes Throws an additional 2-hit projectile with OD priority (does not dissipate on contact with strike hitboxes); on contact with the opponent, the fan splits into 2 additional projectiles and bounces up before hitting on the way down; the two falling fans bounce at staggered heights, with the second hitting much later than the first; if 1 hit of the first Midare Kachousen is dissipated then the low bouncing fan does not appear; puts opponents into a limited juggle state if the initial Midare Kachousen fan connects, while the falling fans keep the opponent in grounded hitstun; () refers to damage/hitstun values of the bouncing follow-ups on hit or block; any hit that connects after the follow-up bounce overwrites the fan's hitstun/blockstun; Mai has an extended hurtbox vulnerable to strikes on her arm/head (28-79f); the listed frame advantage assumes Mai is at point blank range; all hits up to the first bouncing fan are a true blockstring (advantage is calculated from that point, ignoring the final delayed fan); the bouncing fan does not trigger proximity guard (allowing back walk) and counts as an air attack (allows anti-air invuln moves to pass through)

Ryuuenbu
214HP214H
Notes 2 hits, () refers to startup of 2nd hit from longer range; whiffs on crouching opponents unless they extend a vertical hurtbox (unsafe on hit if 1st hit connects like this); puts opponent into a limited juggle state; head hurtbox is anti-air invincible on frames 6-17 (slow but rewarding anti-air); 2nd hit (frames 27-36) is a strike hitbox that can dissipate standard 1-hit projectiles
Ryuuenbu (Flame)
Notes Enhanced version that costs 1 Flame Stock; 2 hits, () refers to startup of 2nd hit from longer range; whiffs on crouching opponents unless they extend a vertical hurtbox (unsafe on hit if 1st hit connects like this); puts opponent into a limited juggle state (higher launch gives more follow-up options like 236KK launch or Flame 214MP safe jump); head hurtbox is anti-air invincible on frames 6-17 (slow but rewarding anti-air); 2nd hit (frames 27-36) is a strike hitbox that can dissipate standard 1-hit projectiles; incurs no extra damage scaling, making it a significantly stronger combo tool than the non-flame version; 1st active frame can only hit grounded opponents (allows it to combo from 5LP)
214LP214L
Notes Low Crush 7-14f; strike hitbox that can dissipate standard 1-hit projectiles during active frames; becomes KD +35 on Counter-hit/Punish Counter; leaves opponent standing on hit just outside throw range (must walk 1-2f to throw, or more if spaced far away); safe when well spaced in neutral; when canceled from a normal on block, its safe range is character-specific (max range 2MK offers the best pushback); useful oki tool that can be up to +9/+2 when meaty (e.g. 2HK, whiff 5LK, 214LP) and can also lead to a juggle on meaty Counter-hit; extends a forward hurtbox on whiff until the end of recovery
Notes Enhanced version that costs 1 Flame Stock; Low Crush 7-14f; strike hitbox that can dissipate standard 1-hit projectiles during active frames; always safe on block, and very effective at creating spacing traps against light normals (even when canceled from ranged pokes); when used as a meaty, can be up to +4 on block or KD +41 for a juggle; extends a forward hurtbox on whiff until the end of recovery
214MP214M
Notes 2 hits, () refers to startup of 2nd hit from longer range; similar utility to LP version but grants a knockdown instead of a standing reset; combos from 5LP as a decent light chain ender; 1st hit can whiff when canceled from ranged pokes, making it unsafe; 2nd hit (frames 25-31) is a strike hitbox that can dissipate standard 1-hit projectiles; can be spaced relatively safely on block (only Ken SA2 can punish at max range)
Notes Enhanced version that costs 1 Flame Stock; 2 hits, () refers to startup of 2nd hit from longer range; similar utility to LP version (grants a combo from 5LP as a decent light chain ender); forward movement ensures both hits connect when canceled (except in some whiff punish scenarios); 2nd hit (frames 25-31) is a strike hitbox that can dissipate standard 1-hit projectiles; can be spaced relatively safely on block (max range can be -4 unlike the non-flame version due to forward movement during active frames); puts opponents into limited juggle state (can juggle 623MK or SA1); sets up a perfect KD +42 safe jump on grounded or juggled hit (unless spaced out at max range where it becomes +44)
214PP
Cancel SA2 SA3 (3rd)
Notes 3 hits; puts opponent into a limited juggle state (free juggle state if only the final hit connects); 2nd/3rd hits (frames 30-34 and 42-46) are strike hitboxes that can dissipate 1-hit OD projectiles; 8f extra recovery on block; Super cancels always whiff or give partial animation (should always manually link the juggle afterward unless the opponent is armoring through your attack)
Notes Enhanced version that costs 1 Flame Stock; 3 hits; puts opponent into a limited juggle state (free juggle state if only the final hit connects); allows more lenient juggle routes than non-flame version (Juggle Increase of 1 instead of 2); 2nd/3rd hits (frames 30-34 and 42-46) are strike hitboxes that can dissipate 1-hit OD projectiles; 8f extra recovery on block; Super cancels always whiff or give partial animation (should always manually link the juggle afterward unless the opponent is armoring through your attack)
Musasabi no Mai
j.214P
Notes Can only be performed during Forward Jump or after 5LK~LK~LK; 7f extra landing recovery on whiff (10f extra when crossing behind the opponent); Mai is in a crouching state on the final frame of landing recovery (can affect punish routes); puts grounded opponents into limited juggle state; spike knockdown vs. airborne opponents that causes a very quick OTG bounce state (allows juggle into held 236PP with specific air-to-air timing); cannot hit cross-up; solid hitbox for a divekick but very unsafe if whiffed

Notes Can only be performed during Forward Jump or after 5LK~LK~LK; enhanced version with better frame advantage and damage; 7f extra landing recovery on whiff (10f extra when crossing behind the opponent); Mai is in a crouching state on the final frame of landing recovery (can affect punish routes); puts grounded opponents into limited juggle state and causes a high OTG bounce vs. airborne opponents; does not cause spike knockdown vs. airborne like the non-flame version, making it better in juggles; SA2 cancelable until the 2nd to last airborne active frame on the way down (TK version vs. grounded opponents can hit too late for cancel); cannot hit cross-up; solid hitbox for a divekick but very unsafe if whiffed
Kagerou no Mai
236236P
Notes Grants Mai 5 flame stocks on the last frame of recovery; flame stocks enhance special moves and SA1/SA2 (stocks do not carry over between rounds); short horizontal range but has a good anti-air hitbox that hits on both sides; KD advantage refers to grounded hit (higher advantage vs. airborne but also variable); 8-hit projectile, but Perfect Parry only incurs 1 recovery frame per hit (allows the opponent to interrupt between hits after one Perfect Parry); this projectile hitbox can cause it to lose to projectile invuln options when used as a reversal; on hit/block, the last 2 projectile hits have 1 active frame each, occurring consecutively (the remaining frames are converted to "recovery frames")

j.236236K
Notes Can be input during forward or neutral jump; good air-to-air and combo tool; no invincibility of any kind, but can be very effective against projectiles when input at minimum height with a Tiger Knee motion (2362369K); deals less damage from long range due to earlier hits whiffing; frame advantage varies drastically depending on the height and distance it connects; very likely to fly over the opponent on block unless they are fully cornered; cannot hit cross-up
Chou Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi
236236K
Notes 11f extra recovery on block; solid range, but a short invincibility window that makes it difficult to use against slower projectiles; deals less damage from long range due to earlier hits whiffing; good reversal and juggle ender; generally should not be canceled into from OD specials (214PP: manually juggle afterward, 236KK: juggle j.MP > Air SA2)

Notes 1st hit causes cinematic; non-cinematic version does less damage (varies based on how many hits connect), but can juggle into 623K to recover some lost damage; cinematic time regenerates ~2 Drive bars for Mai; 3f startup when canceled from 236K/KK only; slower startup makes it risky as a reversal (many light normals can be safe with meaty timing)
