We might have to come up with a notation short term for the KOF cancels in format because DOA's inputs goes from one to another, but you can immediately cancel into moves such as 214P/214P+K/236K etc etc. (Like the normal term could be 4P > 214P, but there is a cancel from there, so I would suggest 4PC.214P)

66PK > 6PPC.236K

Max threshold

66PK > 4PC.214P > 6PKK Lightweight
66PK > 214P > 6PKK Midweight

As an example for those combos up there.

So do the second move immeadiately? Sounds kind of difficult... Man I wish I had her to test these things out.

I'm pretty sure there's gonna be a bigger damage reduction when comboing super heavy characters. The refloat from 6PP(214P) into more damage will definitely be tricky. I'll try to get my hands on the character this Wednesday to see how much damage she can generally dish out.

I think everyone can do it. DOA"s buffering mechanic is more generous than KOF and personally, I think they should keep it that way for Mai within DOA itself because quarter-circle inputs usually do not come out properly for the pad players (since DOA has a lot of pad players). You could input 2114P or 2214P and it'll still come out. KOF is more strict where if you add extra buffers in there something else comes out.

If Mai had those cancels strict, I'd probably be the very few people still playing her or the loyalists Mai/KOF familiarity in the forums possibly.

Post CB max damage combos so far (feel free to add your findings):

  • Featherweight: Not tested yet.
  • Lightweight: 8K > 6PP Cancel 214P > 6PKP. Note: Delay Cancel 214P a little bit otherwise it partially whiffs.
  • Middleweight: On middleweights you have two options which both lead to the same damage output. 1) 8K > 4P Cancel 214P > PPPP or 2) 214P+K > 6PP Cancel 236K
  • Heavyweight: Not tested yet.
Optimal damage combo for a 214P+K launch at max threshold without a wall nearby (works up to middleweights)

  • 3P > 6PKP

Found a more damaging one by 5 points on CH.

:8::K: > :6::P::P::~::214::P: > :P::P::P::P:

Also works on mids but only from CLOSED STANCE.

  • 3P > 6PKP
After :214::P::+::K:, :6::P::P::~::236::K: does more damage.
