Heres my view...
I ran Mai first initially.
She is a great battery for sure.
But heres the problems/advantages I encountered....
1ST PLACE
-Poor damage without meter(I would only try to use one bar max in the first round with my point characters)
-no reversal without meter
-if she gets rushed down shes dead
+great battery (if you're fightng a zoner and they wanna spam projectiles at you? Reply to them by absorbing them with A ryuenbu for that good meter, Then they'll get pissed off and COME TO YOU)
+great zoner for keeping people out/great rush down
Got an opponent in the corner? far St.C is GOD, and CDxx A fan are great pressure tools for locking down your opponent and forcing them to take risks to get out such as CD roll/counter or reversals that requre meter.
2ND PLACE
+Guaranteed neomax most of the time(opponent will not wanna move)
+enough meter to do damage if you get that hit confirm(if they dont wanna move coz of neomax you can either turtle and spam more or rush down into a nice combo)
++all the previous advantages mentioned above
-if you have used neomax you have crippled your anchor character and mai if the NM didnt kill
3RD PLACE
Never ran her here. But Im unconfident about it because her damage is meh with meter anyway and I dont have faith in her being able to REVERSE OCV better than any other character I would place there.
I prefer having her 2nd.
