Well well well.
I just could play The Queen of Fighters yesterday night finally. She is really fun to play and I love her moves and how good she has been implemented in DOA. Also I love her voices, holds, throws, combos, cliffhanger and stuff like that. But.. I have some complains, too:
-Her taunt poses suck. Mai has much better taunts in her KOF and FF games.
-I miss her kimono in "Shiranui Mai, mairimasu!" intro pose. It's great but if she started dressed in a kimono and changing her clothes while she turns around, as she does in KOF, it could be epic.
-Very few strings. Thanks God she has all that cancels stuff.
-Throws are repetitive (c'mon, two Fuusha Kuzushi) and Yume Sakura (throw while enemy is in the air) is bad animated. Far from good quality other characters have in their animations (and this can also be applied to her clothes and details. For example, her red. Compared to Momiji's red, Mai's look a bit plain, too vivid color, like 2D... Maybe it's intentional).
-No Tag team partner
(but her voices in Tag are SO great)
-Her alternative palette should have been purple and she should have a third real alternate costume. There were some options. It is really sad, and I don't see DLC costumes coming for her... (I want a ninja costume, not a bunny or teacher or towels&pijama shit).
Anyway, no big deal. Mai in DOA is great and I can't wait to play it again and learn all I can to be good with her ^^
