I'm fine with this, one of mays biggest weaknesses was her midscreen damage being bad/situational and now we have a ton of stuff to work with. Very cool.
WE OUT HERE WITH THE COMBOS. The best place to find this stuff is on twitter under the hashtag GGST_MA I found a few of these ideas from him, various discords etc.
Holy crap, actually putting the button commands on the screen during this showcase is INSANELY helpful, especially for someone who's new to fighting games and not quite used to the whole 1-9 number system thing. Been playing the game as May for a couple weeks now on floor 6 and can stand my ground a lot of the time but also get my ass kicked a lot too, so this will definitely help me improve! Really loving Strive so far!
Having the inputs on screen absolutely helps! Very nice to still see new players picking up Strive and May as well. Let us know if you ever need help or anything :D
Don’t really see this as a buff tbh. She got some combo variety but lost damage and had her best neutral and pressure tools toned down. Nothing about her offense is particularly scary anymore, especially in a game with characters like nago, Leo, I-no, and Ram.
I don't necessarily agree but her offense was weakened with the removal of some 4 way throw mix options and the 3k safejump removal. I think she's nerfed more because other characters are gonna maybe powercreep her
Even though i got introduced to GG through strive, i still like ACR and XRD more than strive, there's just something that feels good when you land long combos in XRD
Strive just came out on Xbox and naturally I picked may because she seemed like a fun character to play! I appreciate the video and I love the passion you put in also :p
I dunno if May was overall nerfed or buffed but one thing is for sure, SHE IS MORE FUN NOW! we have combo variety now, I dropped the game on S1 cause May is the only character I liked design-wise but spamming HS-H dolphin on every optimal combo was boring af. Now being optimal is fun. I dont care we lost 3K knockdown. Fun is more important for me.
@@YomiFGC Yeah I cant believe nago and ram got away with murder. Someone at arcsys must really love nago. He is the new Rev Johnny. But well, at least Im having fun with the game now.
If nothing else, this patch taught me not to be a doomer until I've actually had a chance to play. The changes sounded so much worse on paper than they were in practice. RIP 3k though, we had fun times together.
If you use PC would you be willing to make these into Combo Trials? I'm having trouble and like being able to just watch how it should look without alt tabbing out of the game and clicking on youtube. Love your vids regardless
Combo 1: jH CH > 5K > 6H > [2]8[H] > jD > IAD > jP > jP > wallbreak (works from round start, can probably do IAD > jH > 5K > 6H > [4]6[S] > wallbreak instead if you need to push the opponent a bit further) Combo 2: cS > 2H > [2]8[H] > IAD > jH > 5K > 6H > [4]6S whiff > 5P > wallbreak (easiest to set up by catching an opponents fuzzy jump or anti airing them with cS, if you get a CH you need to delay the 2H a bit to normalize the timing on everything else) Combo 3: 2S CH > [4]6H > 5K > 3K (video shows dash 5K afterwards, not sure if it's meaty but if it is and you catch your opponent mashing you can loop it into Combo 1) Combo 4: OHK in corner > [2]8[H] > block burst > cS > 5H > [4]6[H] > 5H > wallbreak (if they don't burst on [2]8[H] you can get another burst bait attempt by blocking after cS as they come down) Combo 5: 5K CH anti air, dash cancel cross-up > cS > 2H > [4]6[H] > 5H > [4]6[H] > wallbreak (not really something you'll get to use a lot but the combo is simple and the hardest part is recognizing when your 5K will anti air while you're in the corner) Combo 6: 2K CH anti air > 6H > [2]8[H] > jD RRC > cS > 2H > [2]8[H] > IAD > jS OTG > dash > meaty (again not sure if this is a real meaty, pretty sure you're minus after landing from jS, definitely meaty enough to punish a greedy option like vertical dolphin)

I AM WELL AWARE DISASTER OF PASSION IS BLARING IN THIS VIDEO I DO NOT CARE THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE!
it is as it should be
Ah, so the damage nerf means we actually have combo variety now
Long live Arcsys
Long Live May

I like the rework.
We have to keep May's buff a secret from arcsys. Everyone keep complaining until they buff us again
I mean it got the ky players pretty far.
Why not us lol
We gotta follow LK in being a downplayer
They must've heard the complaints maybe they have some more buffs in mind
I can’t find any new may content but I’m glad our lord yomi is providing

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Best may guide TH-camr on TH-cam
THANK YOU! I appreciate that
Don't mind me chief, just gonna bookmark this vid because those combos do look juicy 👀
I can actually see myself using these unlike the aircombos we got from last patch. These seems genuinely applicable and optimal now.
@@YomiFGC Yep! I kinda underused vertical dolphins last patch but now they seem to lead to more stuff :D
OHHHH These are good! I'd love to see more another combo showcase as time goes on and we discover more tech for her. Good stuff.
I'd like to make one too! These are just day one combos lmaoo
THANK YOU MATTHEW!
I appreciate what you’re doing for us Mays.
THANK YOU! I appreciate that
We are eating good ladies and gentlemen
I THINK WE ARE!

0:14 was working on this yesterday and I couldn't get the wall splat. Thank you 🤝🏿
Not a problem! I've been working to hit these in game too

I def agree, I'd say she's about the same power level but she's a bit powercrept

You are me dr dolphin
Always a fan of wall breaking with light punch and kicks.
I always think 5p wallbreak looks funny
Thank you for the cool combos! It's always a blast seeing your videos
THANK YOU! I really appreciate that
Oh I didn't even consider that heavy dolphin would link into 5K now. That's good to know
I didn't either! Depending on the spacing you can do 5h/HS Dolphin/2S too (on CH)
The song cut out before the chorus and that gave me blue balls but aside from that, I love the new combo routes
Lmaooo I should've included more combos to get us to the chorus.
If nothing else, this patch taught me not to be a doomer until I've actually had a chance to play. The changes sounded so much worse on paper than they were in practice.
RIP 3k though, we had fun times together.
Same tbh, I was so doomer than so excited when I saw the combos. Once the dust settles from the hype, I guess we'll see where she really stands

I definitely could! If I were to make a follow-up I'd include it, I think a lot of these combos are fairly unrealistic now? A bit more optimized now
Do any of these combos still work, specifically the first one?
Are these combos done with a standard console controller bc I can’t get off the Mr. Dolphin move after the kick
all according to daisuke's vision
Daisuke is a good man for this
Outstanding thanks for sharing
Totsugeki!!!!!!!!!
Mr Dolphin/Chaaaarge
i just don't know how to instantly use the mr dolphin move, like how?!?
ill be honest, this video makes me want to pick may back up, havnt played her sense the jack-o came out
Making this vid gave me hopium because the combos are just so COOL now you know?
Thanks for the new combos bro time to make all these KY kiske suffer
I am here to SPECIFICALLY make Ky players suffer
Shhhh, keep this lowkey
Haha yes Daisuke she needs more..give us 3k back..
nice stuff ggs #AoW KidFrost
I got hit by every overhead it's so fast now ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I can't just downback you anymore :(
GGs tho I gotta learn to REACT
Is it patch now because I can’t land the second combo
yeah it still works just make sure you are running when you do the cS otherwise it's wonky
Do you have codes for these combos?
Unfortunately no..I don't think I actually uploaded them lmao. I forgot..
Combo 1: jH CH > 5K > 6H > [2]8[H] > jD > IAD > jP > jP > wallbreak (works from round start, can probably do IAD > jH > 5K > 6H > [4]6[S] > wallbreak instead if you need to push the opponent a bit further)
Combo 2: cS > 2H > [2]8[H] > IAD > jH > 5K > 6H > [4]6S whiff > 5P > wallbreak (easiest to set up by catching an opponents fuzzy jump or anti airing them with cS, if you get a CH you need to delay the 2H a bit to normalize the timing on everything else)
Combo 3: 2S CH > [4]6H > 5K > 3K (video shows dash 5K afterwards, not sure if it's meaty but if it is and you catch your opponent mashing you can loop it into Combo 1)
Combo 4: OHK in corner > [2]8[H] > block burst > cS > 5H > [4]6[H] > 5H > wallbreak (if they don't burst on [2]8[H] you can get another burst bait attempt by blocking after cS as they come down)
Combo 5: 5K CH anti air, dash cancel cross-up > cS > 2H > [4]6[H] > 5H > [4]6[H] > wallbreak (not really something you'll get to use a lot but the combo is simple and the hardest part is recognizing when your 5K will anti air while you're in the corner)
Combo 6: 2K CH anti air > 6H > [2]8[H] > jD RRC > cS > 2H > [2]8[H] > IAD > jS OTG > dash > meaty (again not sure if this is a real meaty, pretty sure you're minus after landing from jS, definitely meaty enough to punish a greedy option like vertical dolphin)
The fact I didn't put this in description is pretty cringe. Would you be okay if I put this in? 🤔
@@YomiFGC go for it crazy guy
Needs more Totsugeki.
Don't you mean.. Mr. Dolphin 😎
@@YomiFGC stop Morbin, bro.
Do u have this in combo searxh?
unfortunately a lot of these don't work anymore..
blue may best may
You speak the truth
Ok everyone keep quiet and downplay her immediately.
haha yes daisuke we need more..
Cringe playing in English tho tbh
Dub>Sub sorry
Please delete this character from the game. Thank you.
Shit man, I'll ask Daisuke to remove may from season 3
@@YomiFGC thanks man :)
Quality content 😌 learning about short dolphin jab to wall break has changed my life maine 🥹
Thanks! I'm glad to hear that!
