While the Western fans of BlazBlue: Central Fiction have to wait until November 1st to play the second DLC character, Mai Natsume, the brave spear-wielder is already available on PlayStation Network in Asia. The first impressions of her seem to be very positive, as these clips below show off some powerful combos and tech.
Here’s a quick round-up to get acquainted with what Mai can do:

A mid-screen combo from an overhead that gets to 4000 damage with a Distortion Drive.
This short combo video by Sugi showcases a lot of practical confirms, including examples from throws and air attacks.
For more information on the new character, keep tabs on this Mai Natsume Google Doc from the community. There’s also a BlazBlue Character Discord list which includes Mai.
