==Overview==
==Overview==
Placeholder
May's gameplay is defined by her amazing normals, extremely good air mobility, and her oceanic moveset. Some of her larger normals are so oppressive with such great hitboxes that challenging them is suicide. She has the ability to run trains on players not aware of how to deal with her dolphins, air control, and excellent moves. Things like her {{clr|1|6P}}, Restive Rolling, FB Vertical Dolphins, and Applause for the victim can be suffocating. In many cases the best plan of action is for them to just FD and wait for her to make a mistake.
==Strengths==
:Normals have great hitboxes, good damage<br/>
==Weaknesses==
:Overhead Kiss is not Potemkin Buster


Despite being strong all around, May lacks damage conversion outside of the corner without meter. She doesn't have the best options against zoners besides simply dancing around in the air, and some of go-to mixup options such as 3C are extremely punishable if blocked or they miss. Overall though, May is a very solid and very annoying character

| voice = Satomi Koorogi

Useful as an overhead, but they are very unsafe on block now and most characters can punish them so be sure to FRC. On hit and FRC will lead to high damage. Has more recovery than in AC which prevents the many dolphin loops, at least without FRC. Used in the majority of combos. Must be jump installed in block strings for jump/airdash after FRC. Auto-JIs if done alone?

Has infinite superarmor and can be used to get out of a bad situation. Will lose to Overdrives and throws. It can be thrown from a decent range on startup with proper timing or after slashbacking one of the hits. As a reversal it is very hard to hit with since it starts 14 frames after the superflash, but if they are forced to block you are at advantage after Deluxe Goshogawara Bomber. If you hit them near the corner you will have to cancel into Deluxe Goshogawara Bomber before they fly over you to not lose an advantageous setup afterwards. It is also pretty good at chipping out the opponent if they are out of meter and are not confident enough to slashback > throw it. Also extremely useful against Eddie setups.

Colors

To select your color, press the corresponding button while in the designated "color set". Color sets can be toggled through by hitting the Respect button.

  1. Only selectable on the Arcade and PC-Rollback versions of the game.
  2. Available on home ports, and are selected by pressing the Rec. Enemy button on the Slash or Reload color sets, respectively. Gold characters are powered up versions, Shadow characters have infinite tension. Both are banned from tournament play.

Overview

May's gameplay is defined by her amazing normals, extremely good air mobility, and her oceanic moveset. Some of her larger normals are so oppressive with such great hitboxes that challenging them is suicide. She has the ability to run trains on players not aware of how to deal with her dolphins, air control, and excellent moves. Things like her 6P, Restive Rolling, FB Vertical Dolphins, and Applause for the victim can be suffocating. In many cases the best plan of action is for them to just FD and wait for her to make a mistake.

Despite being strong all around, May lacks damage conversion outside of the corner without meter. She doesn't have the best options against zoners besides simply dancing around in the air, and some of go-to mixup options such as 3C are extremely punishable if blocked or they miss. Overall though, May is a very solid and very annoying character

Lore:Make way for the jolly pirate! May is a spunky youngster and first mate of the Jellyfish Pirates. Her character is much defined by her massive crush on Johnny because let's face it who doesn't love him?

May extends her anchor out as far as she can at waist height.

  • May's longest range poke and is a good followup after 5K on block or hit.
  • At level 4, converts more strongly than previous versions.
  • Can be used for mid range knockdowns in conjunction with 3K but at max range 3K will not combo so be wary of this problem.

May does a split and extends her leg out in front of her.

  • Incredibly fast, lots of active frames, safe on block, and decent range.
  • One of May's most important moves due to it being hit confirmable into a large majority of her damaging combos.
  • Almost all ground normals chain into this move making most of them safer.

Absurdly silly move which many opponents simply have a lot of trouble dealing with. Some May players center their neutral around this move entirely.

  • Fairly good hitbox which is difficult for many to contest.
  • Despite being -9, launches May back on contact, making good punishes difficult.
  • Active for a good amount of time.
  • All versions: Can have the landing recovery cancelled on whiff. Makes whiff games a nightmare to deal with if the opponent is unfamiliar.
    • Difficult to determine when the active window ends. You can often whiff this and then immediately land and throw.
  • Has an FRC point for being made safer.
