Combo pattern is the same every bit your normal c.South combo so yous can confirm very late, also naturally transitions into her wall combo if close enough. The BRC slowdown needs to hit for this to piece of work, so it's a very unlike timing betwixt nuance momentum c.Due south and standing c.S. If you cease up at a weird spacing after j.D, you can do 1 c.South to stay safe. | |

May needs to use RRC while withal on the ground during the Mr. Dolphin hit. If May uses RRC too late, she will use j.D instead. |
Combo Theory
Charging Mr. Dolphin
Nearly of May's combos use Mr. Dolphin in the eye of the combo. In club to employ these combos, May needs to begin charging Mr. Dolphin while using the other moves in her combo. In some cases, this is intuitive and very piece of cake:
- c.S > 2H > [ii]8H: As long equally you concur [two] for the entire duration of 2H, you will charge in time to use [2]8H.
In other cases, May needs to hold a direction in a situation where information technology will not affect her motility to charge Mr. Dolphin in fourth dimension:
- While May is attacking (attack animations are unaffected by directional inputs)
- While May is jumping (Holding [four] or [2] will not bear on May's jump arc)
- During the time irksome effect of a counterhit. While time appears to slow downwardly, the charge per unit at which Mr. Dolphin charges does not. This allows May to use Mr. Dolphin in ways that aren't ordinarily possible and allows her to more easily charge Mr. Dolphin in general.
Remember that May tin hold [1] to charge both horizontal and vertical Mr. Dolphin, but she tin just use crouching attacks while doing this! In some situations, you demand to hold [four] to use standing attacks that combo into horizontal Mr. Dolphin.
Airdash After H Vertical Dolphin
Later May lands a c.S > 2H > [ii]8H, she tin can do an airdash before touching the basis and hitting the opponent with an air normal.
Hit an airdash j.H allows her to continue her juggle if about the wall:
- c.South > 2H > [two]8H > AD > j.H > 5K > [4]6S
Merely when far from the wall, information technology ends the combo with the opponent pushed a skillful altitude away. Airdash j.K to j.D does nearly x more damage than j.H, simply it likewise gives adequately bad okizeme when farther than midscreen:
- c.Due south > 2H > [2]8H > AD > j.One thousand > j.D
The j.H combo has a setup where May can IAD j.H to get a decent safejump if the opponent doesn't have their dorsum to the corner, only it requires some timing depending on whether May has dash momentum or non.
If May lands a raw 2H into [2]8H, she can become an airdash j.South into a c.S:
- 2H > [2]8H > Advertizement j.S > c.S
This is very situational, since 2H ordinarily counterhits if it ever does hit, and May has much more damaging combos off of a counterhit 2H.
Afterwards long RC juggle combos, if there is a H Vertical Dolphin towards the terminate of the combo, May can generally go an airdash into an OTG j.South:
- c.S > 2H > [2]8H > [4]6S > RRC > dash > c.South > 2H > [2]8H > AD > j.S
She can potentially get a [ii]8S in the aforementioned state of affairs, but this gives slightly worse oki for near the same amount of harm.
Close Slash Juggles
When May has her opponent correct in a higher place her, she can juggle c.S into itself by microdashing with good timing. Later a regular RRC, she tin can get 2 c.S juggles before continuing the combo with 2H into her finishers. If she can hit RRC with upwards migrate, she can juggle with c.S four times earlier ending the combo.
- 88RRC > dash > c.S > dash > c.S > nuance > c.S > dash c.S > 2H > [2]8H
This combo requires extremely precise timing and spacing, otherwise her opponent will either cross-upwards or fall out. Hitting iii c.Due south juggles is much easier, only information technology'due south slightly less optimal than the alternatives.
Another known state of affairs where May can juggle c.S is her wall philharmonic. After she hits 2H > [4]6H well-nigh the wall, she can juggle her opponent with c.Southward twice, before wallsplatting with 5H > [4]6H to earn even more damage than normal:
- c.S > 2H > [4]6H > c.Due south > dash > c.S > 5H > [4]6H
Blueish Roman Cancel Slowdown State
Hitting or making the opponent block BRC puts them into a slowdown state that makes combos possible that would otherwise never be possible, even with counterhits. In BRC slowdown, 6K and 2K can philharmonic into c.South or 2H, and c.S tin combo into some other dash-canceled c.S.
- BRC > 6K > 2H
- BRC > 2K > 2H
Can be used to catch opponents off baby-sit after a blocked 5K.
- 66.BRC > c.South > dc > c.South
Tin can be used as a whiff punish or punish combo using BRC drift.
Wall-bounces
Most of May's loftier-harm corner wallbreak combos rely on wall-bounce from the following moves:
- 623K
- 5H
- [4]6H
The wall-bounce from 623K is very position dependent (specifically simply works in combos from about one-half the distance between round outset position and the corner), but allows May to catechumen 623K > [4]6H into a meterless wallbreak from further away than other philharmonic routes starting with 623K. Other corner 623K combo routes practise not rely on the wall-bounce from 623K itself.
5H and [iv]6H only wall-bounce against airborne opponents, so usually May'southward combos will incorporate 2H as a launcher to force the opponent into the air and enable a wall-bounciness. While some wallbreaks do not require the utilize of c.S, they tend to be more consistent and harder to burst when c.Southward is used to bladder an opponent after a wall-bounce or air striking. In many cases when the opponent bursts after c.S and whiffs, May can just employ c.S once more before the opponent lands and continue the philharmonic where she left off.
Strive's gatling system limits the number of ways that such a wallbounce tin kickoff. These are May'due south well-nigh powerful force per unit area/punish options in the corner
- 6P (counterhit): Used every bit a relatively safe anti-air or a counterpoke.
- 623K: Used as the throw part of a strike/throw mixup or after a counterhit horizontal Mr. Dolphin.
- c.S: Used in large punishes or as the strike office of a strike/throw mixup.
- 2H: Used as an anti-air or frametrap from c.S with a slight delay.
- 6H (counterhit): Used as an anti-air or frametrap from c.S with no delay. Since counterhit 6H flooring-bounces and offers a large fourth dimension slow event, May tin can charge and use [4]6H in time to begin a wall-bounce combo.
- Deep leap-in j.S or j.H: The hitstun on these jump-ins lasts long enough to confirm into c.Due south on a deep spring-in. Very high take a chance, very high reward selection.
- Anti-air j.H: Gives May a style to stuff jump-outs. May needs to connect at super-spring height or employ counterhit time irksome to recover in time to begin wall-bouncing.
- Anti-air j.D (counterhit): Gives May a way to stuff very high bound-outs. May needs the counterhit time deadening to recover in time to begin wall-billowy.
- RRC: The bladder from RRC's shockwave allows May to begin a juggle loop from most attacks. RRC will non allow you to proceed a philharmonic against an opponent that is teching after a soft knockdown (such as the tumble from a ground Mr. Dolphin hit). RRC causes substantial impairment proration on any subsequent philharmonic in addition to the normal proration of the previous attacks, and so try non to use RRC in situations where May can break the wall without information technology.
One time the opponent is stuck to the wall, May's best normal for breaking the wall is 6H. While some wall sticks allow May to charge the move, many practise not. Likewise, while some wall sticks last long enough to use Great Yamada Attack, many practise not. The Wonderful and Dynamic Goshogawara is the safer super to utilise.
May's corner combos do absurdly high damage even without meter, then much of her game plan will revolve around pushing or maneuvering her opponent into the corner and using strike/throw pressure and reads to beginning a loftier-damage wallbreak combo.
The Wonderful and Dynamic Goshogawara
This attack (specifically j.632146H) tin can effectively turn any aerial corner push into a wallbreak. Mutual situations where this can happen include:
- (optional starter) > [2]8H (ascending air striking) > 66j.1000 > j.D > j.632146H
- j.Thousand or j.S (air hit) > 66j.Yard > j.D > j.632146H: May pushes her opponent while airdashing and applying hitstun from j.Chiliad or j.S to connect the rest of the philharmonic.
Goshogawara can also exist used afterward any wall-stick (including wall-sticks too loftier for 6H to hitting) to give May advantage later the wallbreak. In all cases, May wants to hit the opponent with the first part of the assail while the opponent is directly in front of May to maximize the run a risk that the 2d striking (splashdown on landing) actually confirms into a wallbreak.
E'er continue runway of how shut May's opponent is to the wall. The Positive Bonus buff is almost ever worth spending the meter to turn a corner pressure level situation into a clean wallbreak, and in many cases using Goshogawara to pause the wall tin can end the round outright.
RISC Scaling in May's Combos
May'due south two high-damage overdrives can suffer profoundly from RISC combo scaling, especially when used late in the combo. If May'south opponent has congenital upwardly a lot of RISC from blocking her force per unit area, May can apply her overdrives in a quantum combo to deal a lot more damage than her RRC extensions would deal nether the aforementioned circumstances.
For case, because of RISC scaling, Goshogawara is capable of dealing a lot of damage when used to confirm a frametrap. While the departure is small when Goshogawara is used on its own, the difference in RISC scaling from even a single blocked c.S tin outcome in a large difference in impairment if Goshogaware is RRC'd or PRC'd into a combo extension. This makes post-pressure Goshogawara > RRC/Prc extensions May'south well-nigh efficient way to convert 100 meter into harm midscreen, ordinarily resulting in finishing off the opponent in a match. Using a single c.S as a frametrap can upshot in an outright touch of death scenario against Chipp, Millia, and Zato when May has 100 meter.
