If there's interest in a Terry-ized version of this video lemme know. I do think terry is easier to translate over so thats why I picked Mai to talk about but I can still sorta go over what makes Terry Terry in a SF context. Also not too far now until the launch of Bison in SF6 so expect the royal treatment for that, and ill squeeze in that Honda guide before that. I thought about making a video about the bison guide they put out last night but like... I sorta already covered all of what he does in my SGF video so felt kinda redundant.

@@emeraldmann1329it's historically accurate though xD. It was intended as the obvious distraction should she be seen on mission. Other ladies have copied her- Kasumi DOA, Chun Li to a degree with her dress and her SF6 outfit... it works obviously heh

@@rooflemonger Oh bless you for replying to my silly joke comment. I know dude, it's not like GGStrive/KOF runs. Btw, love your content, and would love some more personal vids, like details on older maybe lesser known fighters you love.

How about a history of your mains for your favourite games and what their tech strengths were, or why you loved them? I'd love that. But I know you're busy so you do you.
I tried explaining to my group of friends who only play Street Fighter and never played an SNK game that Terry and Mai will very likely be neutral skipping monsters if they are given even half of their degenerate stuff. SNK games are much different games
If you like her in DOA you should check out the Maximum Impact/2006 games. Her playstyle is somewhat inspired by her appearance in that game (same goes to Kula in 6). Not 1:1, but you can tell where they got their basis from.
No way her air and ground CD is getting into the final moveset. That is so oppressive in KOF14 & 15, in SF6 it sounds horrifying, even with no hyper hops.
KoF 14 mai with her broken CD and stand LK was a godsend and carried me most of the time lol. I mentioned it in the original announcement but I used her kof 14/15 CD as an example of something that absolutely wouldnt be allowed in sf6
Moveset: Full bodied Playstyle: Well Rounded Combo structure: Fertile and Limber Honestly, her being the closest thing so far to Vega wall dive shenanigans already has me interested. Also super curious to see what the extra costume situation is going to look like with her and Terry going forward.
For Mai, it's either gonna be her outfit from Fatal Fury 3 or one of her many fits from the Maximum Impact games or maybe even SNK Heroines. There are many options
@@captainmega6310 Yeah I'm sure Terry will get his Garou look at the least. What has me most intrigued is that, now that SF6 is already at 3rd alts for the cast, will Mai and Terry get also get totally new looks that aren't just callbacks? Because if so, I'm definitely curious to see what Capcom can cook up for iconic characters who've pretty much never had that option before (Garou Terry being the exception).
Keep up the great content Rooflemonger, you are one of if not the best fighting game content creator on RUclips. Helped me get into Street Fighter, Tekken and Guilty Gear. You’re the best!
I agree, I hope she gets to keep the bouncing fireball. That's something we haven't seen yet. I doubt they'll have an additional resource, but I could see them maybe being able to cancel OD move into OD move or something.
As someone who grew up playing more KOF than SF, I've always explained to people that KOF characters will need to be "nerfed" to exist in SF mechanics. Now we actually get to see it. And yea if you allow the runs and hops every other character will have no chance LOL
I assume you mean incorporating shorthopping into her gameplay. It would be interesting to see how they would balance that mechanic into a game with fairly strict means of mobility.
They should just give her everything no way that could go wrong 😤 Also they should drop the Mai trailer for COTW and street fighter at the same time and give Mai the new costume she might have
Mai's fan might work like other physical projectiles in past street fighter games, like Ibuki's kunai, or Rolento's knife, and be easily slapped away by attacks.
I predict she will be similar to CvS2. Her qcb+p (Ryuenbu) will be unsafe, same with her hcf+k elbow move, Her fan toss will be standard fireball and it wouldn't surprise me if the EX fan will be like in the KOF games where it will fly up and down. Her Dive will depend on what capcom decides to do with that. I don't think she is too good for SF, but it's more like what will capcom's approach on what she will play like. If they will base this of Fatal Fury, like in Real Bout 2, a lot of her special moves were completely safe but her normals wasn't as great. But SF6 isn't about special moves, it's about using normals, whiff punishment for punish counters and Drive system reliant. Not very many "neutral skip" moves in sf6. So i highly doubt Mai will be very strong. Same goes with Terry, like i don't see ppl Spamming Jab burn knuckle like in Fatal Fury and KOF games.
What's true is there will be feet and toes. They chose the Real Bout Fstal Fury costume with no tabi (socks) for a reason. They could have easily gone for KoF costume otherwise. This is true with Elena as well. Capcom is going hard with their foot animation technology lol
Akuma has a dive kick. Mais dive attack will follow the same rules. She'll get a fire special and a fire finsher. The ninja elbow will be a grab. a screen traversing flying ryu enbu will replace the run. That and she will have a flying fan drop similar to Bisons psycho arm drop.
I see them doing something similar to Kimberly’s cans if her fireball is considered too strong for SF6 having it on a stock system. Regarding a back dive it’s unlikely that’ll make it to live and will just work so that it only works on forward/neutral jumps. It will be fine for juggles since I can think of two characters that can (granted spending resources) get some massive combos off a dive. Likely that it will be tied to an OD, OD dive into combo would be balanced imo since you’re spending drive. It’s entirely possible they’ll give her something similar to C Viper’s super jump where inputting say up twice does a regular jump and up once does the hop, if it operated like that with being able to cancel moves with the jump it could be very interesting in terms of skill expression. (If they wanted to give her a hop anyways). With the current roster, it’s safe to say she’ll be fine, she probably won’t have some of the KOF mechanics because these guest characters tend to be more about imagining a character in that games mechanics rather than importing their mechanics to that game (cough Akuma in Tekken). If anything fan service will sell season passes anyways. So if she’s strong or not people are just going to play because it’s Mai. Capcom have done a fairly decent job of having the roster have their own strengths and weaknesses so I have no doubt that they’ll have Mai feeling like Mai but in SF6 terms. What else can we do but trust them since they’re doing guests so early when so many of the wanted SF characters are missing
I know in general SF6 back jump divekicks aren't a thing, and it's been a general trend to get less off a back jump (ie Akuma no longer having back jump zankuu) but the exception to this is blanka airball. In the same way you've proposed fan toss might be made a charge move to retain its strength while still keeping it in line, could the same not be the case for the divekick? In regards to charge divekicks being harder to get off a forward jump - blanka gets around that with his coward crouch jump being a command jump you can charge while inputting. A whole portion of this vid talked about how the only way hops could come back is if it's a specific command. Just saying.. Great vid as always btw!
For now I am most interested in how she is gonna look tbh. Capcom has not been shy about having sexy characters and costumes (like Cammy showing her ass with her classic costume) so I have faith in them. And talking about costumes... what the fuck was going on with that zombie game? Why would someone have Mai as a guest if they are gonna give her shorts and an undershirt, lol.
Yeah, that zombie game outfit was sacrilege lol. Censored Mai just looks _wrong._ I wouldn't be surprised if her presentation is slightly less _blatantly_ fanservice-y in SF6, but I have a feeling they'll find a classy balance where she's still super-sexy, revealing, beautiful and well-animated. As long as she looks true to the character, graceful, and doesn't feel censored, we'll be fine. Same with Elena Outfit 02. Can't wait to see them!
Thanks for the video, I don’t agree with what you say about the run and short hops though. IMO those are the two things that have to be in there so both characters keep their identity. As you mentioned yourself in your comment, rashid has a run, and even if his run sucks by kof standards, it is good by sf standards, which is the important part imo. Regarding hops, I would do it so that they can’t choose between jumping and hopping, but rather give mai and terry a jump similar to Dudley’s in 3s, which is almost like a hop by sf standards. Regarding the normals, specials and supers I completely agree with you, but running and hopping have to at least kind of be in to keep the essence of the characters. I’m looking forward to seeing how Capcom approaches this, it’s the most interesting part of the whole thing imo.
You guys are nasty minded with the breast jiggling sexual antics. Nobody wants to play SF 6 thinking about that all day from a woman. It is ridiculous.
I think in general an easy way to put it is that system mechanics from guest character games (run, hop, ring-out, etc) will most likely not be included. Sometimes you see stuff like that if it functionally overlaps with an existing system mechanic such as Ryu's Focus Attack just being an armor move in Smash but most guest characters aren't gonna be like say, Akuma bringing super meter, fireballs, and FADC into Tekken.
Kim & Guy do have run moves along with the wall jump. It would make sense that Mai will follow a similar mechanic but also be a bit like bisons forward knee press with her flying ryu enbu
ive never played snk games and sf6 is my first fighting game, when i first looked at mai gameplay she reminded me of chun with the fans being a slower projectile and her being able to "run" behind it
That fire twirl will be like, heavy is plus on block but has a gap. Been playing some mk1 and it's making me appreciate how... 'designed' sf characters are.
Everyone in the comments arguing over whether or not shell have her run, but what I wanna know is if she and Terry will have a roll. Now obviously, a regular KOF style roll would be absolutely bonkers in a Street Fighter game, but I could see it working as a command input, similar Happy Chaos' roll in Guilty Gear. The regular version could be a low profile, with it travelling further distances but having more end lag based on the button used, and the EX version could be fully invincible to non-throw moves like the rolls in KOF.
I think I have a feeling,....MAI Shiranui's playstyle will have those mechanics from her REAL BOUT playstyle from FATL FURY installments! oh beware to those who love Mai's feet! she's already a IBUKI replacement!
I love that she has a projectile, and her Hanzo Hatori-like flame pillars look cool. But mannn, I wish she had more traditional ninjutsu-like techniques. She doesn't have any teleports 😢
Ken has a run in 6 & V, so idk why Mai couldn’t have one. Zeku had one in V, like Guy did. I see Mai getting hops, runs, jumps like all the Buunshin/Ninja characters, since they never follow SF “rules”.
Mai will never have shoryuken move again. She was high top tier in that game and it must have spooked SNK to no ends because they never gave it too her saying it was too strong. Then gave it to Sylvie. Which suprised me greatly because i thought the move was too op😂
@@rooflemonger I'm more about general "run" mechanic for Mai. All run options were in SNK-groove and don't think it will transition into SF6. Only some form of dash maybe.
Something I really want Mai and or Terry to have is EX supers. Just a slightly stronger version of a super for 2 drive bars. I honestly don't know why SF6 doesn't already have this universally but it would work perfectly in the characters from a game that has EX supers
2:31 Roofelmonger. I respect you, love your content, and this wasn't the worst thing in the world, ... But I'd rather never go down that rabbit hole with you ever again 😅
nowhere near the same or comparable. I go into it in the terry vid cause too many people are confused in this video about it. A street fighter style run is far too weak and useless for mai or terry to benefit from.
I imagine theyd probably handle fan toss in a similar way to how theyve tackled other moves. Where sure you *can* follow up with a drive rush but the fan itself does increased scaling so whatever you get is weaker. I do hope EX fan stays though, its so funny.

Yes! Interesting is an understatement. Your videos are awesome.
I'm definitely interested! I'm curious if Rising Tackle will be a DP motion or a charge input
@@Korosivv We haven't had a single charge DLC character, so I'm like 97% certain it will be a DP motion. It really should be charge though.
Yes! Count me as interested for that, I've been thinking about that a lot myself and I'd like to have that perspective
@@DrSwazz Agreed, I'd like it to be charge but its kind of unlikely

The best version of Mai in a crossover was in DOA5: Last Round in my opinion. I know it's a 3D game but yeah.
last round was a beautiful game. Shame about doa 6 :(
@@rooflemonger Yeah RIP DOA6 (predatory DLC, haphazard story and a silly costume unlock system ruined that game).

She's not getting a non resource short hop
EX fan toss with the 2nd hit would be rad. Having that kind of oki in SF would be cool to mix up the strike throw oki.

Lmao be faithful to the character portion gotna good chuckle out of me
Jiggle Mai, jiggle!!!!! Thanks Capcom! THANKS SNK!
You guys are nasty minded with the breast jiggling sexual antics. Nobody wants to play SF 6 thinking about that all day from a woman. It is ridiculous.
Mai might be a strong guest character in SF6 just like in DOA6 she was S tier on that game.
I think in general an easy way to put it is that system mechanics from guest character games (run, hop, ring-out, etc) will most likely not be included. Sometimes you see stuff like that if it functionally overlaps with an existing system mechanic such as Ryu's Focus Attack just being an armor move in Smash but most guest characters aren't gonna be like say, Akuma bringing super meter, fireballs, and FADC into Tekken.
I hope Capcom have stress tested the physics engine thoroughly before Mai is released....
My thought was that Mai would use her CVS moveset, same with Terry
thats well over 20 years old and the characters have evolved since then. Handicapping yourself to one example game does neither character any favours
@@rooflemonger true. We will see how they play later on
Yuck! No thanks!
They can easily give her the link combos she had from real Bout into SF6.
can't wait to see terry in SF6, hopefully in this coming Evo, and excited to what SNK will reveal for next DLC for KOF15. Fun times again ^_^
Her best move would be her classic idle stance 😅
Cammy's second costume could use some good competition, that's all I'm sayin'
I see that coming with Elena's Outfit 02 as well, but of course Mai will be right up there with them
@@ryo-kai8587I really hope they bring back Chun-Li's special costume from SFV
That's the best choice to stand against Mai
That fan slice would fit in with the Honda/Lily chops.
Kim & Guy do have run moves along with the wall jump. It would make sense that Mai will follow a similar mechanic but also be a bit like bisons forward knee press with her flying ryu enbu
Gotta make sure those graphics are really good 💀💀💀
ive never played snk games and sf6 is my first fighting game, when i first looked at mai gameplay she reminded me of chun with the fans being a slower projectile and her being able to "run" behind it
Mai has attacks that move her forward quite a bit, plus air specials.
That fire twirl will be like, heavy is plus on block but has a gap. Been playing some mk1 and it's making me appreciate how... 'designed' sf characters are.
Everyone in the comments arguing over whether or not shell have her run, but what I wanna know is if she and Terry will have a roll. Now obviously, a regular KOF style roll would be absolutely bonkers in a Street Fighter game, but I could see it working as a command input, similar Happy Chaos' roll in Guilty Gear. The regular version could be a low profile, with it travelling further distances but having more end lag based on the button used, and the EX version could be fully invincible to non-throw moves like the rolls in KOF.
Capcom have had rolls before- SFA3 as one example
Mai gonna be OP in gameplay probably like high tier.
Roofle went into thirst mode for a second there lmao, it's understandable tho😂
I think I have a feeling,....MAI Shiranui's playstyle will have those mechanics from her REAL BOUT playstyle from FATL FURY installments! oh beware to those who love Mai's feet! she's already a IBUKI replacement!
Never played these games, the level designs look so sick!
I played fatal fury back in the day, about as close as it gets I think? I'll sure be picking that new one up day one, looks amazing.
I love that she has a projectile, and her Hanzo Hatori-like flame pillars look cool. But mannn, I wish she had more traditional ninjutsu-like techniques. She doesn't have any teleports 😢
Ken has a run in 6 & V, so idk why Mai couldn’t have one. Zeku had one in V, like Guy did. I see Mai getting hops, runs, jumps like all the Buunshin/Ninja characters, since they never follow SF “rules”.
2:30 Bigger hitboxes means easier to Spinning Piledrive, and I think all us fellow apes agree that Mai has very large hitboxes…
Elephant in the room: how are SF6 jiggle physics.
Hopefully she can run and hop and wall jump like El feurte. Or back flips like vega. My 2 fav characters
This could be interesting that kof fighters would engage more in sf games imagine the future seasons if we have more snk characters
Mai will never have shoryuken move again. She was high top tier in that game and it must have spooked SNK to no ends because they never gave it too her saying it was too strong. Then gave it to Sylvie. Which suprised me greatly because i thought the move was too op😂
I'm sure that she will have mobility that makes sense within the context of SF6, something like Kimberly level.
6:18
Maybe they can use her ass attack as a parry ?
Kinda like with B Jenet in FF City Of The Wolves trailer
I do wonder how much of her sex appeal (stance, animations) will survive DEI at Capcom.
Have seen sf6? 😂
3:52, Ken quick step would like to answer that question.
i explain it in the terry vid, any SF analogue to running is straight garbage compared to a SNK run and pointless to give them.
Capcom better make Mai faithful to the character lol. Better have all her assets.
They already have Cammy’s outfit 2 so I don’t foresee an issue, lol.
I think it be super cool if Terry and Mai had a special Max Cancel mechanic. Let them dump supers like KOF but at scaled damage
I think you should revisit Capcom VS SNK 2 and check Mai with different "groove" systems for some clues. And make one more investigation video )
well thats whats already in this video? Groove choices don't change your moves in cvs2 just your options for general mechanics
@@rooflemonger I'm more about general "run" mechanic for Mai. All run options were in SNK-groove and don't think it will transition into SF6. Only some form of dash maybe.
Mai oh mai, im going to buy me the season pass.
God I love SNK games
Something I really want Mai and or Terry to have is EX supers. Just a slightly stronger version of a super for 2 drive bars. I honestly don't know why SF6 doesn't already have this universally but it would work perfectly in the characters from a game that has EX supers
One thing I never figured out with her is what special move use as a reveral since she lacks a dragon punch.
How will they handle her idle animation? Will she be bigger than the other ladies? And... who will voice her in English?
2:31 Roofelmonger. I respect you, love your content, and this wasn't the worst thing in the world, ... But I'd rather never go down that rabbit hole with you ever again 😅
Kimberly has a run....and Akuma has a hop-adjacent fireball considering how he can delay his descent with it.
nowhere near the same or comparable. I go into it in the terry vid cause too many people are confused in this video about it. A street fighter style run is far too weak and useless for mai or terry to benefit from.
Kagero no mai was charge in rbs. In ff3 it was down, down. I forgot how it was in original rb.
I would assume they probably would make them closer to their fatal fury incarnations as i believe those dont have hops or running
I imagine theyd probably handle fan toss in a similar way to how theyve tackled other moves. Where sure you *can* follow up with a drive rush but the fan itself does increased scaling so whatever you get is weaker. I do hope EX fan stays though, its so funny.
Whe you said May = $, I suddenly can smell 2B right in the corner
I hope she has some special intros w/ Kimberly and Chun Li
