GGACR/May

overview

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 3K are extremely punishable if blocked or they miss. Overall though, May is a very solid and very annoying character

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.

Staggers on hit (Max 31F). Can be used to low profile or clash with wakeup DPs if spaced correctly. Massively disjointed low hitbox. Extra long stagger on counter hit for better confirms. Has extended reach for Dolphin confirms, but won't lead to a launch at range unless the Dolphin is FRC'd. At max range, H Horizontal Dolphin may whiff. OHK can work as a gimmick, and supers might be able to connect if done quickly enough. Additional Frame Data: Staggers opponent on ground hit (Max 31F). Pulls in opponent on CH (Max 43F).

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. Frames 7-11 Frames 12-17

Big hitbox jump-in. Very slow and generally not as useful as jH and j2H. Can beat/trade with certain 6Ps though as the hitbox extends much deeper into the opponent Useful for IAD jS > jH which is her most used IAD jump-in. Loses to faster AA's like jabs.

S
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. Additional Frame Data: Lower body invincinble 3~6F and 9~16. Feet invincible 7~8F and 17~19F. May is airborne from 1F onwards. May is in CH state until landing on whiff. Can cancel into followup (S Go, Mr. Dolphin! Horizontal) from 4~14F. Slides opponent on air hit (untechable for 48F, slides for 21F). see notes *1
H
Longer version with minutely longer startup. Extremely active, far traveling move. Slides on air, a staple in May's corner BnBs. Similarly to the S version, possibly safe when spaced. Both versions must be jump-installed in order to use air movement out of the FRC. Additional Frame Data: Lower body invincinble 4~7F and 10~27F. Feet invincible 8~9F and 28~30F. May is airborne from 1F onwards. May is in CH state until landing on whiff. Can cancel into followup (H Go, Mr. Dolphin! Horizontal) from 5~25F. Slides opponent on air hit (untechable for 48F, slides for 21F). see notes *1.
