Description
Mai driving her knees into Cammy's midsection using Yume Zakura.
- "Jump on top of an opponent in the air, and slam them into the ground. Throws your opponent without switching places with them."
- —Street Fighter 6
Executed by pressing Light Punch and Light Kick, (the throw command) near an opponent in the air, Mai first grabs on to her opponent's collar and midsection. Using the opponent as a high bar, she performs a giant half swing and a handstand on their stomach. Next, Mai drives both of her knees into her opponent's midsection, slamming them into the ground before cartwheeling off of their body.
Tactics
Mai has a variety of anti-airs to make her opponent second-guess about jumping such as Hoshi Kujaku, Standing Heavy Punch, or Hishou Ryuuenjin. While Mai has decent air-to-air attacks against an airborne opponent, her air throw also has its benefits. With a 5-frame startup, Mai can quickly surprise the opponent with her Yume Zakura at the last minute. After performing this move, Mai can perform a Drive Rush to maintain offensive pressure or keep her opponent on their heels with her projectiles.
