... I didn't think this would actually happen. But, one of my KOF mains has made it to DOA5LR.
The purpose of this thread discussion is to highlight general information, footage, and game play analogies in relation to Mai Shiranui. Again, this is general discussion thread for the shinobi!

Disclaimer: If this is the wrong place to put the Mai Shiranui discussion thread, please correct me. If there are any inconsistencies or problems, they will be sorted out very shortly.

Presenting Mai Shiranui! Joining DOA5LR from the Fatal Fury/King of Fighters series as a guest character!

See announcement from the DOA Festival for additional information!

I don't really care about the KOF series but she certainly looks like she'll fit right in with the other girls. I'm more likely to get her over :naotora:.

Also, here's Momiji cosplaying as her (seeing these, I would have preferred she get this costume for the upcoming costume pack but the character herself coming is fine too):

Considering how they ported Naotora from Samurai Warriors, we can ABSOLUTELY expect that Mai's moves will be carried over in the same respect.

Which means she will have ranged options too. This is honestly surreal.

Isn't KOF a 2d fighter? I'm honestly interested in seeing how they put her in with that in mind.

This is awesome! As far as how she'll play, I believe that since she's from a 2D fighter originally, she'll kinda be like kokoro: rushdown and fast and powerful, but lacking a bit in tracking which shouldn't be be bad as long as you play carefully.

And KOF has that typical 2D fighter's pausing effect on hit. I wonder if they gonna bring that thing over.

I feel annoyed with that effect personally.

I'm not sure how to react to this.

In one hand is great to have new characters and whatnot. In the other hand, isn't the roster quite big already to add Mai from KOF? Also, a character 2D FG who can be translated to "DOA gameplay" like Akuma in Tekken... hopefully not xD

In any case, this kind of news brings new players and injects some life in the game.

They could use Maximum Impact (Reg. A) as a reference for her gameplay. I mean, the way hits flow there are more like a 3D fighter. Even came with a counter system, though a much more simplistic one. :p

Doubt they will, but just something to throw out there.

Whats funny is that it looks like Mai breasts became a lot smaller when she was created for doa5. I guess they dont want Mai to showup their girls lol

She's just more realistically proportioned, KOF never really had any super realistic 3D models, plus it's worth noting that Mai actually has a smaller bust than Kasumi does. They did a great job converting her, she looks really good.

This is probably the only new i'm liking so far.

Never played Kof, but still, is fun to see her version in DOA.
