Players can expect to use Mai across all three game modes: Fighting Ground, Battle Hub, and World Tour. Her move set includes a variety of techniques designed to control opponents with flaming projectiles, dive kicks, and more.
Some of her notable moves are:
- Kachousen: Mai throws her fan like a fireball, which can be charged to become unblockable.
- Ryuuenbu: A fiery spin move for combos and space control.
- Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi: A cartwheel attack that can be followed up with an aerial move.
- Hishou Ryuuenjin: An anti-air dragon punch with a flaming kick.
- Kagerou no Mai: A Level 1 Super Art that sets the area on fire and grants Mai five Flame Stocks.
- Chou Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi: A Level 2 Super Art where Mai rushes forward in a blaze of glory.
- Shiranui Ryuu: Enbu Ada Zakura: A Level 3 Super Art featuring a series of elegant fan strikes.
Mai will also come with two outfits: Outfit 1, reminiscent of her classic style from the Fatal Fury series, and Outfit 2, themed around her look in the upcoming Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. Players can unlock Outfit 2 by using Fighter Coins or maxing out their bond with Mai in World Tour.
Mai will be available for players who own or purchase the Year 2 Character Pass or Year 2 Ultimate Pass. She joins the roster alongside M. Bison and Terry, with Elena set to arrive in Spring 2025.
