DOA5LR Mai Shiranui DOA5LR Discussion - Guest from FF/KOF series

[Shiranui]

That pick above with the flame & her fans looks like a her powerblow.

It is her cliffhanger, or is what I got translating picture text with google translate. It is great since she using a super of her but not her traditional one, which will be her Power blow I guess.

Wished her default costume wasn't so plain... :/ Looks off in DOA5's realistic and detailed art style. Even in graphically not so great KOF14 Mai's default has some pretty patterns on her garb.

That's her traditional look since first KOF and everybody knows Mai in that outfit. In XIII she wears a slighty version of this outfit, which is very similar to the oufit she had in last Fatal Fury. In KOF XIV she wears something in between with new patterns. I see her XIII outfit (maybe in a other color other than red, like purple, or white/black and gold) as her alternate costume. It would be awesome she would has her MI alternate costume, but let's be realistic, it won't happen.
Her XIII outfit:

(basic differences from her traditional one: uncovered back, no rope on her shoulders, just one big tail, black belt and big tie)

Quick, pick your dates guys. I could be wrong this time lol. I like surprises here.

 

[KasumiLover]

I wonder how her other costumes will look, her defaults I mean.

Yeah see now that you said that, you might be right

Still surprised till this day that a KOF character will be fighting against the VF cast. First one to do it is TN, Dream Cancel match topic others revived in FSD format rofl. Mai Shiranui vs Akira Yuki.

Speaking of which, the KOF pack is limited to a certain amount of characters according to Werewolfgold no?

I dont think she will release by 12, that seems way too early if she's only being shown starting tomorrow, I expect the week of 19.

As I said before, I would love her MI alternate costume as secondary

but MI2 was like an spin off, and I'm not sure new SNK really wants to get back stuff from that game... So it's more likely to me she will have her XIII/XIV costumes as alternate or even some Fatal Fury costumes she had in the past. Some images:

KOF XIV

19 is on a Monday on that day though. NA PSN does not update on that day (there are special payed cases such as the Call of Duty series where they pay Playstation to update on specific days. I don't see TN pulling this off or having a special case day. Very very rare.) Are you from NA?

I probably should of been more thorough on it and asked what's everyone's expected date on their server.

19 is on a Friday though (week of 19? a weekend? even doubtful). NA PSN does not update on that day (there are special payed cases such as the Call of Duty series where they pay Playstation to update on specific days. I don't see TN pulling this off or having a special case day. Very very rare.) Are you from NA?

I meant september 19. seeing as how dlcs release on tuesdays, I mean sept 20. Sept 13 seems possible but again, I think thats too early. Either way, my bday is in september so I can probably ask someone in my family to pay for her for me as a gift since I plan on buying some more costumes as well...

... This is God Tier on so many different levels.

 

[DestructionBomb]

I have a high feeling that gameplay off phones will definitely be tomorrow, it's easier to capture gameplay when you showcasing locally with so many players instead of today's private.

 

[Jadeinchains]

^I was already planning on buying her but this image has totally won me over. Just like the case with the VF characters getting me interested in trying out their home games, Mai just might make me try out some KOF games.

Edit: fucking autocorrect changed VF to CD

That render is amazing looking omg! She looks so good here and so does her outfit, I'm looking forward to see the other outfits that she's going to get. Also I have no clue what day she might come out but I hope it's soon.

 

[GreatDarkHero]

Aw yeah... Location tests before release!
After getting a hold of this character, I will see if I can organize a new tutorial, especially for those who are already familiarized with KOF/FF

You should make a gameplay discussion thread for her too when it comes time :-D Mai will hopefully have more active threads than Naotora does at the moment...

 

[J.D.E.]

For those who are asking "JDE I didn't know that Mai was a character you played all your life"

Yes, she is. Always have & always will. Lol. Even when I didn't know what I was doing before I legitimately learned how to play her. Played her since fatal fury 2 & throughout KOF just like I did Kasumi since the 1st DOA. So yes, I am playing her lol.

It's better than Niconico (aka the Japanese twitch with fugly video quality), trust me. lol

 

[Shiranui]

Isn't already tomorrow? ... Oh, well. Let's wait a bit longer T___T

Btw, some designs for Mai from KOF XIV's artbook. Let's hope some of these outfits will make it as DLC or in DOA5LR. Some of them are really gorgeous. I love A1, A2, B1, B2, F, I and J. The ones with the eyepatch are cool too, but maybe an eyepatch is too much for Mai.

Spoiler
