1. Introduction
---------------
I just want to start off by saying that I'm making this FAQ because I have this
"love" for May Lee. No one has ever made a FAQ on her so I decided that I
should do a little something so people can recognize her for her potential. Her
2k2 form is by far no where as good as her 2k1 form, but she's still pretty good
if you really know how to play with her. She's considered near lower to mid tier
by most people. I think she's mid-tier but who cares about that junk. Let's get
started.

2. Revision History
--------------------
Version 0.1 (8-15-04)
- The beginning. I'm just going to add all the stuff that's on the top of my
head. I'll add more stuff later on when I can think of anything or if someone
contributes something helpful to this FAQ.

3. Moves List
---------------
May Lee have 2 set of moves. The default mode is her Standard Mode. Her
second mode is her Hero Mode. She can switch from one mode to another
which gives her different set of moves. I'll explain her moves to you later on.

III. Moves Explanation
------------------------
Well... May Lee have a very interesting set of moves to work with. She
have 2 modes to switch between. Her default mode is her Standard Mode
and her alternate mode is her Hero Mode. Switching between the 2 modes
gives you a completely different set of moves. The good thing about this
feature is that you can cancel into and out of any mode through any normal
or special attacks which SOMETIMES makes her a safe character to play
with.
Her SM is her main mode. You can use this mode to play with her
high-low games (mind games). This mode is usually used as combo
starters. She have combos that can start off in SM and then end in HM.
This is the main mode to use if you want to do combos. Her counter is
very handy. You can use the counter as an anti-air or an anti-sweep
(works against most characters moves). If she successfully connects the
counter, she launches the opponent in the air which sets them up for a
juggle. Her lightning needle chains help you play mind games on your
opponents. Her footprint hits low and her swordfish hits high (overhead).
You can use this to your advantage by adding another kick after the
lightning needle. These mind games don't work all the time but most
people don't usually expect much from a May Lee player. They usually
don't know what to expect so reading them like a book would be loads
of fun. You can cancel out of any HM moves into SM if you wanted to.
This is RARELY done for any reason.
Her HM is her secondary mode. You can use this mode to cancel out
of any SM normals or specials into this mode. I think of this mode as a
"Power Mode." She have a different set of moves to work with. She
doesn't have any high-low potential in this mode but you can mess around
with her unblockables. Her A version of the full swing chop can be used
as an anti-air. Her thunder blow helps her safely travel across the screen.
Her May Lee break is a grapple move so that's self explanitory. Her DM
can only be used in the air. Her SDM and HSDM needs to be used on the
ground and near the opponent. Hero Uke is a parry move. Since she can't
block in HM, she might as well have some defensive capability, right?
Well... the "good" thing about this move is that she can cancel out of this
move into any move she wants to. It's a very useful move if you know
how to parry well.

4. Combo List
----------------
Here is a list of her combos. She doesn't have as much as she had before
but she still have plenty. I'm not going to add any uber fancy combos here.
I'm gonna add some that's kind of hard to pull of in real combat but it's
a lot more practical than what i had in mind. If you want to know all about
her combos, just watch combo vids of her and you'll see it from there. All
of the combos start off in SM unless I put a notice saying that it starts off
in HM. I've separated the combos into 3 sections. The basic combos
involves simple stuff. The advanced combos involves switching betweens
stances and cancelling specials into supers. The max mode combos involves
cancelling into max mode and ending it with a SDM or HSDM. May Lee
doesn't really have any "true" max mode combos but I just decided to add
something like that anyway.

7. Contact Information
---------------------------
You can contact me by going on the message boards in Gamefaqs. You
can also e-mail me at '
[email protected]' but the chances of me
responding is somewhat slim since I don't check my mail that often. You
can also find me by contacting me on AIM at 'plastik lazee' or 'boazhusby'.
My recommendation to you is through AIM. If you don't have AIM then
you'll usually find me socializing in some of the KOF boards.
Thanks for reading. See you next time.
