Mai does not feel hard to play

[Joeycentral]

I havent played any online matches with her or anything, but just by doing her basic combos and stuff, I really dont see her being that hard. Everyone was trying to make her seem harder than what she is, but honestly, she feels pretty simple and her mixup potential IMO makes her feel perfect for the meta in online multiplayer.

So what was up with the people saying she was gonna be super hard to play?

Mai's never been a technical character in any KOF, Fatal Fury or CVS game

she's always been a fan favourite for her design and accessibility and overall fun factor, she has a great move list

Capcom did a great job with her. I'm pleasantly surprised, especially as I felt their rendition of Terry was disappointing

Hah, fan favourite.

As long as you're having fun doing it.

"I haven't played her, but I'm convinced she's easy to play" is definitely a quote of all time.

The only other post I know you mentioned Mai's difficulty in was in a comparison to Juri. Asking which one was harder to play, and Juri is largely considered one of the easiest characters to play because of how straightforward she is. So that's why everyone was telling you Mai was more difficult. Not that Mai is a hard character, just that when compared to one of the easiest characters she's a bit more technical.

It's like asking who's easier to play Honda or Akuma. Obviously Honda, but that doesn't mean Akuma is a hard character. Just means he has a little bit more going on.

Ima be honest, when I paly Mai in arcade mode, I am struggling a lot. I have a much easier time using Juri in arcade mode than Mai because Mai's combo routes make no sense and just feels super awkard to use in a actual match.

Pretty sure her ease of use is ‘normal’ on the select screen
