Mai

Story

A descendant of the Shiranui ninja clan, Mai is a highly skilled kunoichi trained in both traditional ninjutsu and the art of seduction. Known for her flirtatious personality and graceful combat style, she fights with a blend of elegance and deadly efficiency. Though she often fights for personal reasons, whether pursuing her longtime love interest Andy Bogard or defending her clan’s honor, Mai’s unwavering spirit and dedication make her a formidable warrior. She thrives on competition, using her fluid movements and mastery of flame-infused strikes to mesmerize and dismantle her foes.

Personality

Mai is confident, playful, and charismatic, often using her charm to disarm opponents before striking with deadly precision. While she enjoys teasing her rivals, she remains fiercely loyal to her friends and takes great pride in her ninja heritage. Beneath her playful exterior lies a warrior with relentless determination and a strong sense of honor.

Appearance

Mai’s iconic red kunoichi outfit makes a comeback, featuring a flowing sash. Her long brown hair, tied in a high ponytail, enhances her dynamic movements, while intricate flame motifs showcase her mastery of fire-based techniques. She also sports her casual outfit.

Playstyle

Mai is a versatile kunoichi who combines zoning with strong offense. She excels at commanding respect with charged fireballs, has simple yet punishing damage routes, and a quick divekick for mobility. Her normals are straightforward to manage, and she features strong corner carry, even with limited resources. However, she lacks significant damage without empowered specials and struggles to maintain plus frames without Drive Rush.
