| Modern | + (While blocking or during Drive Parry) |
Description
Executed by pressing forward plus Heavy Punch and Heavy Kick (or pressing forward and Drive Impact for Modern Control), Mai launches forward butt-first towards her opponent, knocking them away.
Tactics
As a Drive Reversal, Yusura Ume serves as a way for Mai to escape offensive pressure being applied to him; similar to Alpha Counter or V-Reversal. It cost 2 bars of Drive Gauge. This move can be only be performed when Mai is in blockstun or on a successful Drive Parry. Upon activation, Mai is fully invincible during the startup and active frames of this move. On hit, it inflicts decent amount of provisional damage. Yusura Ume can also break armor. It is also effective in keeping the opponent in the corner should they attempt to force their way out. Once the opponent is knocked back, Mai can approach the opponent on the ground with Ryuuenbu or keep them at a distance with Kachousen.
