The hype train for the newest character in BlazBlue: Central Fiction continues, this time with a more detailed look at Mai Natsume from the Tokyo Game Show.
As previously seen, Mai’s Drive is a chargeable spear throw. The spear homes in on the opponent, coming back to hit them from behind. When fully charged, which requires Mai to be holding it still (not aiming up or down), it becomes unblockable.
What’s more interesting is that Mai has a control scheme that’s unique to BlazBlue. In place of traditional specials, she has two quarter-circle motions, back and forward, that initiate types of movement. From there, she can press any button to execute a special move. Her normal attacks are unique as well: they can be whiff-canceled to get different strikes.
