No probs about the info-pry, I'm happy if I can help! Where might you play it again this weekend? I'd love to be able to play again before October, lol.

There is said to be a KoF XIII tourney at a con I will be going to around my area.  This means the game should be there.  Don't know what version it will be though.

Mai not only have a second voice for Ryuenbu, it has a different voice for EX Ryuenbu. She shouts "Hooo!", what remembers me a lot her fan hurricane/shoryuken DM, but isn't the same. Maybe because her gameplay and combos are based a lot on her ryuenbus they added different voices.. I like it!

I already feel an influx of Mai users coming, she's really strong now and with her quicker NM (according to The Answer he said it was 1-3 frames and it caught someone on a back dash) she'll be a force to be reckoned with.

Shiranui: Yeah, I saw that Mai vid, she had a pretty nice showing there. Bring them down with those Air throws! I'm embarassed that my (ground) combos were not as ambitious as that guys, haha; the more I talk about her, the more I wish I could go back and play her more.

Kane: Ahhh, so her Neomax has sped up, eh? That's good to know (I never used it once, hadn't even looked over the motion for it...) So, you think her Neomax being buffed might actually keep people in check, eh? After (abusing) Maxima Laser and Final Dragon Kick all weekend, I grew a great appreciation for how much certain Neomax's can mean to a character...

Console buffs look good so far.

Load times were killing me though, oh well should be fixed later.

Oh, great! So Mai really get the buff she deserved. Mai can be a very solid character even with her basic moveset she has in 13, it was just a matter of buffing it.
More people playing her will be very very good for her sake. Looks like SNKP is seeing that Mai is loved and played, and they must take good care of her like K', Kyo or Iori.

I can not hide it, I'm really happy. This console version is going to have all what I was hoping, even things I didn't really expect like Mai buffed. If it has a good online, I think I'm not going to play any other game xD

Mai is going to be my first.  Seconds and Thirds are still up in the air.  It's good to have her back!

thanks to Mai's buffs in the console verison... it makes her worth using... she'll most likely end up in my alt. team of Mai, Saiki and Joe/Beni...

still wish she was like her XI version though... her fly stance was soo good... and mid-air attacks ruled... plus d/f.B was necessary... still i like her new cr.B, cr.A, s.B, s.D link...

This would be quite interesting, lol. I haven't attempted to main Mai since like... Real Bout Special (And part of that was because I loved her music in that game!) But hey, if I've gotta fall into a trap, Mai's ain't such a bad one to land in! (Regardless of what Andy would lead one to believe!)

hey guys, im pretty new here but i wanted to ask a few general question about Mai in this game. First being where can i find a list of changes from her AC version to her Console Version? also since i used mai alot in KOF 02' i found that shes forgot most of her normals and she forgot a special or two, so i was wondering how is she played in this incarnation then her 02 counterpart...its too bad she lost her peach blossom bounce~

For info on how she places, look through this thread. We have lots of discussion here!

For her Known console changes, last few pages of this thread, and the first post in the Main XIII Forum -> Console Info thread.

If something is still not clear after looking through what's available, don't worry, ask away!

Would it be a good idea to use her DM to catch someone unaware in the air? Or should it be limited to following up air combos like Kyo's air Orochinagi (I've never seen him use it to catch someone mid-air)?
