Super Deadly Ninja Bees - (qcb hcf+B/D)

SDM

Super Deadly Ninja Bees - (qcb hcf+BD)

• Mai goes into her elbow animation of her original Super Deadly Ninja Bees and Strikes with a larger flame doing more damage then her DM version. It's fast and invuln up to hit which makes it a better although expensive candidate for punishes or reversals than the DM.

  • It has the same damage and framedata as the normal version
