Description[]
- "A forward fan toss. Keep faraway opponents at bay."
- —Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves
Mai throws an unfolded fan using her front hand, spinning towards her opponent in a straight line. If it connects, it nudges them back on a clean hit.
Starting with KOF XIII, Kachousen gained an variant; in KOF XV, the version bounces the fan up and down after the first hit. This property would be carried over to the held () version in SF6.
Also in SF6, the version can be followed up by Midare Kachousen, throwing a pair of fans after the first one.
In COTW, the version has Mai throw two fans in succession.
Strategy[]
- "A technique that sends forth a spinning fan. Hold down the button to change its properties. Useful for attacking opponents at range."
- —Street Fighter 6
Although it's Mai's only projectile, its main purpose is usually not for zoning, but rather space control.
