cl. A is chain-able to all A and B ground normals, plus on block
cl. B hits low, chain-able to all A and B ground normals, if done as a meaty, can link into cl.C
cl. C is a 2 hit normal, hits above her head. 1st hit is cancel-able into specials, supers, command normals. 2nd hit is cancel-able into specials and supers. Can also link into f.A or f.B. Good combo starter
cl. D is an axe kick, hitbox starts above head, good for stopping jumps when used as a frame trap. 1st hit can cancel into BC mode or AAfBC super. 2nd hit is special, super, command normal cancel-able
Stand
St. A is quick jab, good vs short hop pressure
St. B is a great poking normal, maybe her best one. Can cancel into specials, supers, command normals but doesn’t combo into anything though.
St. C is a spinning back fist. Good range but very slow. 1st or 2nd hit can cancel into specials, supers, commaad normals
St. D is a pretty slow Sobat kick that has lower body invincibility. It's possible to combo into AAfBC if opponent is in corner
Crouch
Crouch A can cancel into special, supers and command normals
Crouch B is fast, low, chains into itself. One of her best normals. Chain-able into all grounded A or B normals
Crouch C is a fast shoulder tackle that has great range, is good combo starter and lowers her crouching hurtbox. It can combo into command normals, specials and supers
Crouch D is a standard sweep, hits low and can whiff cancel into AAfBC super and is good for low profiling people hopping towards you
Jump
Jump A is a quick punch, hits pretty low (not as low as j.d)
Jump B is a jumping knee that hits in-front of her
Jump C is a great jump-in starter. Best air normal.
Neutral Jump C/D is a good air-to-air (nj.c hits higher and has a way better hitbox)
Jump D is good for jump-ins, only real cross up option.

Special Moves
Spin Fall - (qcf + A/C)
Mary front flips towards the opponent, hitting them with her heel. Can be used to evade some low height projectiles.
A-version is an overhead.
┗M. Spider - (qcf + A/C)
If the Spin Fall hits, this follow-up will make Mary command grab the opponent for a hard knockdown
Straight Slicer - Charge (b~f + B/D)
Mary baseball slides towards the opponent. Can evade high height projectiles. Comes out fast and is active for a while. The light kick (B) travels half screen distance and hits low, while the heavy kick (D) travels 3/4ths screen distance and only hits low near the end. Both versions can combo from her command normals b/f+A or b/f+B. Punishable if the opponent blocks the slide up-close.
B version is supercancellable.
┗Crab Clutch - (qcf + B/D)
* Mary grabs and snaps the opponent's leg
* Hard knockdown

Supercancellable.
┗M. Snatcher - (dp + B/D)
* This follow-up makes Mary perform a head scissors leg throw and causes them to land a half-screen distance away.

M. Reverse Facelock - (qcb + B)
Counters jumping attacks only
Hard and back-turned knockdown
M. Head Buster - (qcb + D)
Counters only attacks that aim at Mary's mid-section, either highs or lows
Real Counter - (qcb + A/C)
Mary is completely invincible during this stance. But she does have a brief recovery period when the invincibility is over.
┗Backdrop Real - (hcf + A/C) close
This is the 1f command throw follow up during the counter stance. You can use the Real Counter as an anti-air, reversal or as a counter move, then use this command throw to punish the opponent.
Even at inhuman speed, Real counter > Backdrop real would be a 3f grab at best, which means just doing it fast is enough to combo into it, but inputting it as just b,qcb,f,P', qcb,hcf,P or qcbx2,f+P makes real counter and its follow-up come out instantly giving Mary an actual 1f grab to use in neutral as well. f,P means you need a standalone P at the end but while b,qcb,f+P,P works qcb,hcf+P,P doesn't since spin fall is in the way. b,qcb,f,P seems to be the most reliable way of doing it.
Possible explanation by Franck Frost: The only motion out of b,qcb,f,P that makes sense for Mary as far as the game knows is qcb+P (Real counter) so it does that but as it's doing so it also sees b,d,db,b,f,P -> b,d,f,P -> hcf,P (Backdrop Real) and I assume that's how you can trick the game into doing the follow-up instantly. A similar explanation works for the other two inputs
Desperation Moves
M. Dynamite Swing - (A, A, f, B, C)
Can be used as an anti-air or reversal because of its fast start-up and an enormous invincibility window. You can hide the inputs during the recovery of many of her normals and special moves as it will cancel freely from otherwise uncancelable normals. Can be also done as A,f+A,B,C and A,A,f+B,C.
M. Splash Rose - (qcf hcb + A/C)
This is a ranbu Desperation Move that can be combo after her command normals and heavy attack normals. It does have a small amount of invincibility when it starts.
M. Typhoon - (hcb x 2 + B/D) close
This is a 1-frame command throw that can combo from her command normals and heavy attack normals.
Super Desperation Moves
M. Dynamite Swing - (A, A, b + B, C)
A much damaging version of her regular DM, M. Dynamite Swing. Can be also done as A,b+A,B,C and A,A,b+B,C.
Hidden Super Desperation Move
M. Infinity Rose - Charge (b~f, b, f + BD)
Mary uses her Straight Slicer slide to perform multiple submission holds to finish into her M. Splash Rose DM into her M. Snatcher.
Can combo easily from her heavy cancel-able and command normals
Has a small amount of invincibility before she slides towards the opponent
Combos
You can add a jump-in to every combo that doesn't start with a low but you need a very deep jump-in or a cross-up to combo into b/f+B.
You can do A,A,f,B,C as A,f+A,B,C or A,A,f+B,C. Same deal with A,A,b,B,C.
Doing real counter and its follow-up as just b,qcb,f,P makes it an actual 1f grab you can use in neutral and combos. You need a standalone P, whether you do f+P,P or clean f,P. Just hold P to make sure.
Rapidly doing qcb+P,qcf+P or qcb+P,hcf+P is enough for combos if you don't feel comfortable with b,qcb,f,P. More on it in #Special Moves
Whichever way you're doing it, if the input is correct but you get real counter, do it faster.
It'll be written as 1f grab down below.
0 stock
cr.B, cr.B/cl.B, dp+B > dp+K
( Getting the second light and still combo is fairly tight. )
cr.Bx1~2, 1f grab
( Much more comfortable, your best low confirm into plenty of oki. )
cl.C(1), b/f+A/B, b~f+K > (qcf+K / qcf+P>u+D)
( qcf+K is hard knockdown and give better oki while qcf+P>u+D is soft knockdown so worse oki but better damage. Use b+A to start charging b~f+K early. Default to this combo when meterless. )
cl.C(1), b/f+A/B, 1f grab
( 1f grab gives slightly better oki and the same damage as b~f+K > qcf+K. )
cl.C(1), b/f+A, dp+D > dp+K
( Only use this if you can't do the previous two. dp+D will whiff on crouching Bao and if you don't do it fast enough can also whiff on crouching Vice and Mature. )
1 stock
cr.B, cl.A/cr.A, A,A,f,B,C / hcbx2+K
( hcbx2+K does more damage but will be harder to input off a light )
cl.C(1), b/f+A/B, qcf,hcb+P / hcbx2+K
( If you add a jump-in and use b/f+B, A,A,f,B,C will whiff out of corner. Just use qcf,hcb+P or hcbx2+K. )
2 stocks
Starter = cl.C(1), b/f+A/B, BC run, cl.C(1), b/f+A/B
If you're doing cl.C(1), b/f+A, BC, cl.C(1), b/f+A, you can just walk, no need to run.
After a jump-in the run to get cl.C(1), b/f+B, BC run, cl.C(1), b/f+B is very tight.
b~f+K > qcf+P, (C) dp+B(1), (SC) A,A,f,B,C can be done as b~f+K > qcf+A, A, (C)dp+B(1), C and b~f+K > qcf+A, A, (C)dp+B(1), b,B,C for the SDM
