Mature may not have any command moves but, this does not stop Mature from being the beast that she is. She is a offensive rush-down character, much like Mr. Karate and Duo Lon...

The player can close the opponent down using qcfhcb. A or C then DP.A - after then you try to use a jump in to option select throw/throw tech or a cross-up or block and punish with another BnB combo. Last, Mature can cancel her Metal Massacre into her Super moves. If the opponents wants to block, then they are still in trouble sense she's kind of like Iceman from MVC2 - lots and lots of chip damage. Here, you can either save meter while using safe pokes and punish combos then rushing the opponent down, trimming their options - or you can go wild with EX moves and all if your second character is someone like Athena or Kyo...

She might do good in this category too... Heaven's Gate has projectile invincibility it can work as a good counter attack against zoners and can be comboed into. Mature plays the same role as she did in the first position, but only having four meters available. The problem is that she might be spending meter as well in this position. She may have good meter-less combos but as a meter builder, Mature can benefit more from characters like Kula or Yuri. Mature should probably be played a little more cautiously in this position, though she can easily make a good battery character because of her great offensive game.

Gameplay Overview
Once again, Mature strikes back in KOFXIII and has far more tools than she did in the prequel of this game. Mature is an amazing rush down character with very good attack options and a rather lengthy special move set. The player can utilize Mature for any team position and she be played under many conditions as well, because she has the moves to do so. Mature is very combo-friendly and has a nice set of meter-less combos. She also has a nice projectile that covers a lot ground. Mature has arguably the Rekka specials in the game as she can tear the opponent to pieces and produce a lot of chip damage if the opponent tries to guard against her. The main purpose of Mature for building a structured rush down game play. One can easily say that this is a much better iteration of Mature than the one from KOFXII. Mature is a very fun character to play and she sets a good standard on the true concept of rush down.
Gameplay Notes
Pros

- Heaven's Gate DM has a lot of invincibility start-up
- Damaging HD combos in general
Cons
- Both versions of her projectile take time to execute
