Description[]

"A graceful spin that sets the opponent ablaze. Can be used in combos."
—Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

Mai hops forwards while spinning in a full circle, whacking her opponent with the end of her belt, which has been set alight with flames. The version hits once and comes out quickly, while the version hits twice, but has a slightly longer startup.

Starting with KOF XIII, Ryuuenbu gains an variant - in most appearances, the version has Mai perform the move twice in rapid succession; in COTW, the version hits twice like the version, however it spins the opponent out instead of knocking them back.

Strategy[]

"Spin once before sending forth a fiery blaze. Easy to use as part of a combo when canceling from a normal attack, or to control space."
—Street Fighter 6
