Thanx for explaining it guys. I didnt notice that minus(-) in front of that 12 frame advantage. Now it makes sense. Maybe it should be called a 12 frame disadvantage. Does this means that Mai’s ninja bee super has close to zero frame advantage?

Where can i obtain all this information about frame advantage? It would help out my gameplay a lot.

65

I think there’s a Japanese Magazine that has all the frame info in it. It’s either Arcadia or Gamest, if I recall correctly. Gunter would know it for sure.

And alot of Mai Flying Flaming Elbow Super has to do with how far she pushes herself away, along with quick recovery. If you notice, she pushes herself out so far that she can recover before your move comes out, or while your move is in the beginning stages of animation frames. The farther you are out, the longer it takes for a move to connect with you, natrually, which gives more time for recovery.

66

I use Mai all the time (even in CVS1 where she bit). Many of Wolfe’s strats are dead on, but I just want to note that opponent’s who can RC and use Blanka,Bison,or Honda will really give her a hard time. I am able to cut their resourses by using the P groove. I hate the lost of the run (I rushdown and then runaway repeatedly with her while powering up in N groove) but that parry will allow you to retailate against most RC attacks. Ofcourse like any character in P groove, you have to be able to parry. I also find that the small jump really helps because her limbs are so damn long, it’s almost like having really good overheads that you can mix with empty jumps. Just beware the roll.

67

what’s up with all these RC talk…??were im at you’ll be
surprised if some one even tries it at all…
does anyone have any good combos that will connect to super…
cuz im geting to predictable with my shit…

68

Um… the classic:

crouching LK x2…

(if it hits)…

  • Level 1 super
  • standing/crouching LK, Level 3 super
  • LK Elbow (no meter)

(if it’s blocked)…

  • crouching MP, fireball

It’s not our fault you live in a land that doesn’t want to evolve. Around here, every scrub and their mom can RC, albeit not consistently. But at least they ATTEMPT to develop their skills…

and if so I could learn them and practice to improve my A-GROOVE

…-__-…

ure right every one here is alredy quiting the aracade scene…
kind of sad…:frowning: …now i dont have any one to play cvs2…
except some3-6 ppl…:lame: :frowning: …

Strike…dude thanx for the combo but i already knew that one…

72

Its been a while since I decided to play Mai on a regular basis. Dont know why it took me so long to realize this combo…

c.lk, c.lp, c.lk, into any level fireball super. Kinda surprised that the level 1 fireball super would connect while the lvl1 super ninja bees super will not. Oh wells, you can always do two crouching shorts instead of three crouching shorts. Just a simple combo to keep in mind.

I usually play N-groove but now Im going to switch back to C-groove since I can just sit on that super bar. Plus, her hops are quick and can really annoy some people. From a good but not max distance, for some reason people dont expect Mai’s jump after her forward dash. Anybody know some ADVANCED c-groove combos?

Here’s a basic C-groove combo

j.Hk, s.lp, s.lk, c.hp, level2 deadly ninja bee super, buffer into the HK flame pillar(opponent must be in the corner for the flame pillar to connect) If the opponent isnt against the corner just do the mp ryuenbu(turn and burn)

Personally I like using her in C or S groove

C groove:

Runaway from corner ( leap off wall high qcb any punch, if performed right you should leave the screen and float safely the other side)

RC standing QCB FP. Similar to what Ricky Ortiz did at NEC with morrigan. Her frames invincibility smack down most in a corner trap. Very irritant and works wonders with your mindgame stratagy.

RC FAN- is a no no. Ive noticed folks like Sagat will initially get that hit in from there fireball. You will trade blows but Sagats take waaay more energy

Majority others strats have been named

S groove

running and dodging with timing helps mai alot. My boy is able to run, dodge and quickly pull off her [charge down then up FK] rising flame. I consider this mind boggling.

I also like running and pullin her QCBx2 FP [mid air] just before landing WAKE UP CALL.

just koops 2 cents…

75

You can charge down while running if you hold the joystick at offensive crouch.

76

That makes so much sense, and yet, it is news to me. :bluu:

77

here’s some non super combo’s that no 1 has posted yet, that i like to use when i play

cr lk st lk cr mp xx qcb + hp
cr lk st lk cr hp xx hcf + hk

78

yah those are good especially when you low jump in empty…straight to low short is pretty fast. You can also just do cr lk x 2, super…it’s a bit easier. I do the quoted combos only when I’m in THE ZONE BABY!

79

I got a friend who just charges back with Bison and the minute i move in he uses psycho crusher. I can’t jump or walk in, i play Mai in K groove but I can’t JD all the hits. Any solutions

80

Any anti-air CC’s with Mai?

81

You can hit him with pretty much anything after he moves past you. You can also try to bait him by continually jumping back and forth…jumping rh should usually beat the torpedo.

82

u can activate then ryu en bu, then [st. fierce, hcb rh] till corner.

83

here’s a weird combo u guy’s forgot to add.!
down lk,down frwrd lk,qcf hk .4 hit’s!!
