Kachou Sen - (qcf+A/C)
- Mai hurls her fan toward an opponent and reveals a hidden fan to replace the previously thrown.
- Her projectile can be used for not only zoning, but for okizeme as well. When timing her soft knock downs correctly, Mai can place her light punch fan right on top of the opponent and get in with her df+B or long range air normals to get in easily and damage.
Dishevelled Kacho Sen - (qcb+D) (Can enter 4 times in a row)
- Swings fans in an upward motion as they transform into sakura petals. When the maximum inputs is reached mai unleashes a barrage of fans at close range knocking back the opponent.
- Rekkas
- Good pressure tool
Deadly Ninja Bees - (hcf+B/D)

- Very unsafe when blocked
- Distance covered by cartwheel varies by B and D
Triangle jump/Musasabi No Mai - (d~u+A/C~qcb+A/C)
- Mai jumps to the wall and bounces off toward the opponent
- Mai can utilize all air command moves
- Flying Squirrel Dance can be performed without Triangle jump

Peach Blossom Bounce - (d+D) in air
- Mai snatches an opponent by their neck with her thighs and drops to the ground
- Must perform Triangle jump
- If the opponent is blocking Ukihane will Substitute
Desperation Moves
Blossom Storm - (qcfx2+A/C)
- Mai rushes toward an opponent. If the rush connects or wiff,she swings her fan upwards and twirls upwards in the air.
Super Deadly Ninja Bees - (qcb hcf+B/D)
- Mai performs her similar cartwheel but ignites into fire when she reaches her elbow strike animation.
Super Desperation Move
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.
- There's an extra version where Mai changes into a one piece bikini before attacking with a different animation on the flames. As for its properties :
- It has the same damage and framedata as the normal version
- It is invincible from start to end, recovery included. Reducing to zero the already low chances of the move being beaten and forcing the opponent to only grab to punish on block.
- OTG
- Probability : 7.35%
Hidden Super Desperation Move
Shiranui Nine tails fox - (qcb hcf+AC)
- Mai jumps in the air and hawks toward the opponent. When the move connects mai performs various vertical and horizontal dives at the opponent, before showing three possible outfits. You can press/hold a button before the move connects to decide the clothing and if you don't it'll be randomized :
- Normal outfit. Press/hold A/D.
- Black and purple dress. Press/hold B.
- Wedding dress. Press/hold C.
- If you end the match with the wedding dress, she wears it as her secret victory art.
