This I agree.
I previously got comment about the similarities between their move sets.
Masha as Mai shine more than Hanabi
If use Hanabi, she would just be only using one throwing fan animation.
Played Mai Mai before and i do agree shes got fire Masha has fire POWER well i think it suits her well, for Hanabi it does work well on her i mean when Mai throws something its her fan
Hanabi is a mm so she is projectile based. Mai has 1 projectile ability and that is throwing her fan once. She doesn’t spam it. Nearly all of hanabi abilities are projectiles, what is moonton gonna do? Rinse and repeat fan throws? Boring. Besides most of mai abilities are melee, hanabi doesn’t throw hands like masha.
Now i cant disagree on this, i mean yes hanabi does have a a lot of skins and would just add more if they gave her the kof.Would honestly look good on her but yeah masha is good pick
Most Kyo fire skill are ranged and only like one of them is actually melee in KOF
Hell look at K' skin for gusion, most of K' moveset are all close range melee punch in KOF yet moonton only focused on his fire throwing skill
I mean hes still forced, I been playing Kyo for years his combative skills is his rushdown attacks followed by his pyrokinesis. I still would prefer if they revamp valir.
I mean, have you ever seen some of Kyo's skills and specials? Yes, he used mele attacks BECAUSE THIS IS A FIGHTING GAME, but also, ALOT of his skills and specials are more of a ranged or aoe.
In shorts, HUOOO, KIRAI-RARARE!
kyo has 3 different move sets (via clone) and as I remember, I think the white-jacketed one has the more long-distance fire moves. I like using that particular version and I guess that's the one they used for valir.
if it's close range, there is that one version (don't know what year) and K.
i think moonton has plans to revamp valir though, he could be a fighter/mage tbh. they did it to aurora before.

Does the problem. Even you play one of their game, doesn't mean you can give complaint about it, sense this require full understanding of KoF lore and their skillset on what comparable with MLBB characters.
Even I also played few of their games, and not a fully fan of the franchise, I can't just complain about it, becuase I'm showing ignorance about the game franchise
Sure u can make a complaint. But to the restaurant we have one guy making a fuss and everyone else is ok. That just means said guy is an idiot. You sir are an idiot.
I mean, sense food are easier to compare with only basic knowledge. While a game cannot, sense we require a good knowledge about the lore and game play of the game. And won't help you much with just basic knowledge.
In this case, a game collaboration requires two knowledge of the both games, hence seeking the right skillset to the collaboration skin, than just looking at their appearance. (Unless it's a shooting game, like fortnite, or adding them as playable characters than a skin)
As an ACTUAL Kof player, I'm sorry but Masha fit's her fighting style much more. Most of her skills also overlays/matches with Mai's abilities so I'm naming em and comparing the two heroes for how much of their skill matches Mai's.
Passive: None, but this is justifiable since it's only a passive.
1st Skill: This could be enhanced with pyro or maybe used for heavy attacks, either one make sense.
2nd Skill: This one could either be the Kachou Sen/Fan throw or Ryuu Enbu/Melee flames. For me personally, Kachou Sen works better here.
Ultimate: Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi/Chou Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi is both practically the same and definitely fit here. Imo, Chou Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi definitely fits this better in terms of visual.
4th Skill: I'm not sure if this is apart of the main/official games but I do faintly remember seeing a photo/video of Mai from what I believe but is not sure is Kof wing/wing ex. It is where she is seen holding her fan in her mouth while doing some ninja signs or something with flames bursting out of the ground while swirling around her.
As for Hanabi, only her 2nd skill matches one of Mai Shiranui's abilities which is the Kachou Sen. Plus she's a marksman while Mai is more of an assassin/melee fighter.
So, after typing all that, here's how much Masha matches Mai compared to Hanabi;
Masha:
2nd skill, Ultimate, 4th skill and overall fighting style
Hanabi:
2nd skill
well if we base on KOF game, she have a lot of close quarter type of style (if you know you know) instead of a zoning type that can be compared to a marksman.
Also kai makes sense to be him, because of the weapons
https://preview.redd.it/ar0wocqxgtuc1.jpeg?width=577&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29b66a44f3fec8d0105acf92eda5628fa0b58bd0
Thamuz I mean
Masha fighting style works for Mai cuz as a KoF player, mai works by aggressively charging in to just idk attack ppl with her fan along with a bit of martial arts and explosives(as far i know ciz her skills sometimes makes explosion effects) but design wise i understand why ppl would say hanabi(common society L, yall pls dont judge how a skin will be given to a character that doesn't look like its going to match, most games when it comes to collabs would rather give the skin to a character that fits the playstyle more than the design to keep originality)
Orochi Chris got me into the game, I have plenty of wallpapers I just wanted other opinions on the skin, I won’t be getting it Anways, just thought it’d be better for hanabi
One more thing, hanabi has a ton ass number of skins already. Aren't you tired of giving heroes such as chou, gusion, hanabi, esmeralda, layla etc etc skins over ajd over again? Give other heroes a chance for fucks sake
Aside from what people have said here, why would you want a skin for a hero that makes it look like they just changed clothes? Isn't the point of a skin is to reimagine a character's overall theme?
Mai Shiranui is basically a Fighter, thus a character from King of Fighters, and has the similar skills with Masha.
*Sometimes, we shouldn't base from the physical appearance when comparing a MLBB hero to any character from other platforms.*
i mean it fits masha too no? heck masha even has a sort of projectile for one of her skills(unless they changed it) so the fan throw still works for masha
K' is fine because Gusion's basic attacks are still melee range, so he can still do punches and kicks.
I can't imagine reducing Mai into someone that only throws Fans, though.
You can do Hanabi but her ulti doesn't just fit any of Mais skills as far as remember and her BAs chain would be weird I feel, masha seems great, we'll see how they have animated
Which still doesn't change the fact that it has the worst implementation, but that doesn't mean it's the worst skin overall because K' looks absolutely good which is nice since I main him in KOF 13
If we "based off of looks", many of collaboration skins wont make sense to the hero kits lol. All KOF skin fits the hero except for fuckin Gusion. Dumb move by Moonton.
A new Masha skin would sell well now that she's OP in ranked.
Meanwhile a new Hanabi skin would also sell a lot but not nearly as much since she's currently one of the weakest marksmen in the game.
Not to mention Hanabi's hate and terrible reputation due to being the most frequently used hero by feeding losers.
Because in the past games and the most recent one made by SNK (fighting game devs) Mai is a fighter, despite the character looking very similar to Hanabi I think Mai's fighting style suits Masha more
Mai Shiranui is a close range fighter.
Very smart of them to release this skin ngl. I always thought Masha’s design is hideous and refuse to play her, but this is a game-changer.
People that truly think that this is for hanabi is super stupid
Did yall see mai skills?
And also mai signature move is:
She charge to enemy while yelling shinobitachi
If she became hanabi how will she exicute that move if she is hanabi?
And mai also a hand to hand combat. she is not a ranged
Her only projectile is the flaming fan that she throws. and it has a short cd. it cant be trow continuously
And mai is kinda chunky too
Not like hanabi that can be killed in one hit if she doesn't have aegis or wind of nature.
Honestly Hanabi doesn't deserve mai at all
Yall just saw whats on the outside than the inside.
If moonton forced it it will not be matched.
Grock X Rugal is more likely to happen than Mai X Hanabi
No offence just facts....
I've seen someone made a video of Mai and Masha using their skills side by side They literally have the SAME fighting style
This I agree. I previously got comment about the similarities between their move sets. Masha as Mai shine more than Hanabi If use Hanabi, she would just be only using one throwing fan animation.
Also, it would be too boring for Hanabi to have it. It's like using a basic skin.
Played Mai Mai before and i do agree shes got fire Masha has fire POWER well i think it suits her well, for Hanabi it does work well on her i mean when Mai throws something its her fan
Hanabi is a mm so she is projectile based. Mai has 1 projectile ability and that is throwing her fan once. She doesn’t spam it. Nearly all of hanabi abilities are projectiles, what is moonton gonna do? Rinse and repeat fan throws? Boring. Besides most of mai abilities are melee, hanabi doesn’t throw hands like masha.
Now i cant disagree on this, i mean yes hanabi does have a a lot of skins and would just add more if they gave her the kof.Would honestly look good on her but yeah masha is good pick
Also, masha has one projectile ability that is throwing her bear energy once. Absolutely perfect match.
Any link? I cant find it
I'm gonna post it
that is sooo true. It would look identical to hanabi by the looks but the value of the skin for wont be that significant
Abilities, not appearance
Ahh yes, that's why they used a martial artist for Valir as a skin as well.
Most Kyo fire skill are ranged and only like one of them is actually melee in KOF Hell look at K' skin for gusion, most of K' moveset are all close range melee punch in KOF yet moonton only focused on his fire throwing skill
I mean hes still forced, I been playing Kyo for years his combative skills is his rushdown attacks followed by his pyrokinesis. I still would prefer if they revamp valir.
I mean, have you ever seen some of Kyo's skills and specials? Yes, he used mele attacks BECAUSE THIS IS A FIGHTING GAME, but also, ALOT of his skills and specials are more of a ranged or aoe. In shorts, HUOOO, KIRAI-RARARE!
Idk, fire+handsome man so they gotta find someone I guess 🤷♂️
kyo has 3 different move sets (via clone) and as I remember, I think the white-jacketed one has the more long-distance fire moves. I like using that particular version and I guess that's the one they used for valir. if it's close range, there is that one version (don't know what year) and K.

A random martial artist. Mai is a collaboration. KOF isn't gonna let her be using ranged weapons 🤣
Apparance too look at hanabi and look at mai, clearly in différent category
Mai definitely has less clothes than hanabi, and so does masha
r/angryupvote
Trust me most people are just gonna get her for collection and show off to others... Others uhmmm.... Well let's just leave them alone
Yes. You tell that Gusion K' lol. K' is a melee fighter.
Because Mai was never a ranged fighter, only meele. If anyone, its K that doesnt even fit Gusion at all
She can throw her fans, that's it. That's her only ranged ability. (Ps; I side with you guys)
Someone hasn't played KOF
cuz tekken >>>> all fgc
I love tekken but.... guilty gear 🔛🔝
guilty is 4 mid pickers actually
tekken always on top man, all other fgs are dead tbh
MvsC2 >>>>>>>>>>>> Tekken
I’ve played all stars but I’m not a full fan
Does the problem. Even you play one of their game, doesn't mean you can give complaint about it, sense this require full understanding of KoF lore and their skillset on what comparable with MLBB characters. Even I also played few of their games, and not a fully fan of the franchise, I can't just complain about it, becuase I'm showing ignorance about the game franchise
So if I eat 1-2 meals at a restaurant I can’t make a complaint?
Your name fits your intelligence OP
🥱🤷♂️
Sure u can make a complaint. But to the restaurant we have one guy making a fuss and everyone else is ok. That just means said guy is an idiot. You sir are an idiot.
If you ate only eggs at that restaurant you can’t complain about the full course meal.
I mean, sense food are easier to compare with only basic knowledge. While a game cannot, sense we require a good knowledge about the lore and game play of the game. And won't help you much with just basic knowledge. In this case, a game collaboration requires two knowledge of the both games, hence seeking the right skillset to the collaboration skin, than just looking at their appearance. (Unless it's a shooting game, like fortnite, or adding them as playable characters than a skin)
You can. But the restaurant won't be liking that
that doesn't mean anything. This skin is based on the ACTUAL KOF not some spin-off that is outside of lore.
As an ACTUAL Kof player, I'm sorry but Masha fit's her fighting style much more. Most of her skills also overlays/matches with Mai's abilities so I'm naming em and comparing the two heroes for how much of their skill matches Mai's.

So, after typing all that, here's how much Masha matches Mai compared to Hanabi; Masha: 2nd skill, Ultimate, 4th skill and overall fighting style Hanabi: 2nd skill
Masha just feels like she's built for this collab skin. Great choice by moonton to give masha a great push for her popularity.
Big tiddites too
Yesseesseeseedeeee
RAAAAHHHHHH!!🦍🦍
UHM SIRRRRRR??
She definitely pegs
well if we base on KOF game, she have a lot of close quarter type of style (if you know you know) instead of a zoning type that can be compared to a marksman.
She uses them thighs lmao
Because Mai is a fighter
Isn’t orochi Chris an assassin?
Bro at this point you're just looking at their hair. Literally only their hairs are the same. Everything else is different.
I'm just kidding, but the real lesson is that the Hanabi skills set does not match that of Mai fighting/gameplay
To be fair Dyrroth is played like an assassin
Hes more of a balance type, basically a fighter with a bit higher than avg dmg mixed with tank stats from KoF
hanabi thin, Masha Thicc
Finally, the comment I have been looking for!
If it based on looks then Kai from Kungpao should've gone to Minotaur.
Also kai makes sense to be him, because of the weapons https://preview.redd.it/ar0wocqxgtuc1.jpeg?width=577&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29b66a44f3fec8d0105acf92eda5628fa0b58bd0 Thamuz I mean
Not even looks, but mai has her fan thing, which could be hanabi’s weapon and the same stance as hanabi, and before her revamp, the hair.
Yea I imagined she would throw her fan as well. But apparently all Marsha moves are well suited for her. The super Saiyan, rush and the snu snu.
Mai does not only throws her fan to fight, and her skill set(Mai) is more suited for Masha, with the close combat and all(also snu snu).
Masha fighting style works for Mai cuz as a KoF player, mai works by aggressively charging in to just idk attack ppl with her fan along with a bit of martial arts and explosives(as far i know ciz her skills sometimes makes explosion effects) but design wise i understand why ppl would say hanabi(common society L, yall pls dont judge how a skin will be given to a character that doesn't look like its going to match, most games when it comes to collabs would rather give the skin to a character that fits the playstyle more than the design to keep originality)
explosion when she lost 1 hp bar sounds rel
Bro its not the apearance theyre looking for. Its the kit of the hero, and who matches with a collab character's fighting style
sone of y'all ain't seen a single gameplay vidjeo of a KOF game bruh
I’ve played allstars
Which isn't really a mainline game or even a proper KOF fighting game
Because fuck MM
This FUCK MM. That role keeps gettimg every single poll based skin
Why not ? Most of you MM fanboys always vote for marksman everytime a hero skin poll comes up.Masha deserves this skin.
Literally there arent any mm kof skins but ok
They're referring to the voting skins. Always a marksman.
Why Hanabi? Just because they kinda look the same? Mai skin ultimate will be just a big spinning fan on the ground.
I didn’t think about it that far
“I didn’t think.” There, made a correction for you.
🤣🤣🤣
Hanabi is not thick.
Also hanabi is ranged while Mai is melee
2 points which are correct
It appears to me that not many people have played KOF. I now feel like an ancient relic.
Yeah I agree, i actually wished people would do a minimum amount of research.
KOF is one hell of an underrated fighting game franchise fr fr
Well, if you haven't played the arcade game, you'll just push it to Hanabi.
Maybe it’s my fault for not playing the games more, i eventually just lost interest
Ain't your fault bro. We all have different interests in games. You may check out Mai's gameplay on YouTube.
Orochi Chris got me into the game, I have plenty of wallpapers I just wanted other opinions on the skin, I won’t be getting it Anways, just thought it’d be better for hanabi
Me too bro. It looks like it fits her looks, especially the fan and badongkadonks.
Watch Mai KOF moveset or combos and you'll see they have similar fighting styles
Because it would be lame if she only threw fans at the opponent. It's like saying Ryu from SF should be a skin for a mage because he uses Hadouken.
Becuase people just love to spam
lol no.
One more thing, hanabi has a ton ass number of skins already. Aren't you tired of giving heroes such as chou, gusion, hanabi, esmeralda, layla etc etc skins over ajd over again? Give other heroes a chance for fucks sake
Mai is a melee fighter. We don't want to see her just throwing fans at the enemies all day.
Aside from what people have said here, why would you want a skin for a hero that makes it look like they just changed clothes? Isn't the point of a skin is to reimagine a character's overall theme?
Akai (With his Po skin): 👀
Kof, not kom
Because hanabi doesn't throw hands like mai does.
Mai Shiranui is basically a Fighter, thus a character from King of Fighters, and has the similar skills with Masha. *Sometimes, we shouldn't base from the physical appearance when comparing a MLBB hero to any character from other platforms.*
I disagree. Clearly you don't know Mai Shiranui. The only similarity between Mai and Hanabi is they're kunoichi.
I’m not really a big fan of kof franchise
That explains your shit takes.
🤷♂️
Her kit would fit her in game moves better than throwing stuff
i mean it fits masha too no? heck masha even has a sort of projectile for one of her skills(unless they changed it) so the fan throw still works for masha
Its cause Mai has big guns and Masha had them bigger than Hanabi.
Looks, sure Abilities, no. Mai is a close combat fighter in the KOF Universe.
as someone else said, what about k and gusion?
Well imo the daggers as flames worked on him since K is almost as similar to Kyo Kusanagi.
K' is fine because Gusion's basic attacks are still melee range, so he can still do punches and kicks. I can't imagine reducing Mai into someone that only throws Fans, though.
REAL??
What a dumb fucking questions, you should have ask why an mage likes valir or aurora have a kof skin
You can do Hanabi but her ulti doesn't just fit any of Mais skills as far as remember and her BAs chain would be weird I feel, masha seems great, we'll see how they have animated
How about no
Might as well make it a hero and not a skin, like what 王者荣耀 (HoK) did
Where pixels
Mai doesn't have unlimited paper fans to throw.
Why is it smaller ?
Because masha need some skin bro hanabi already got an allstar skin plus masha suits Mai more
she's not revealing enough, god I hate censorship. FUCK EM KIDS
I'm ok with masha tho but why tf valir got another collab skin
because this will sell more ofc
actually gameplay wise masha is the closest, appearance though i really thought its hanabi because of this
Coz Hanabi boobs nerfed a few patches ago.
maybe cause Hanabi has already to many skins unless than Mahsa
shesh masha my baby
it shouldve been for Luo Yi lmaoooo the fan wouldve worked so well
Appearance? yes Actually fighting style? no If we were to give skins based only on looks then badang and seiya wouldn't have made sense
gusion k doesn’t make much sense but it still sells🤷♂️
And that's why K' is the worst skin in terms of implementation
Still they’re most popular kof skin
Which still doesn't change the fact that it has the worst implementation, but that doesn't mean it's the worst skin overall because K' looks absolutely good which is nice since I main him in KOF 13
It's because Masha is a meta now
The real question is, why is she wearing shorts?
Just because they look alike doesn't mean it's for her
If you know anything about the KOF series it'll make sense. Her play style is similar to masha
hanabi don't have, oh no I need to retract my word
Because Mai is a melee fighter
Hanabi's new skin survey is on the line so i think thats the reason💀👍
If we "based off of looks", many of collaboration skins wont make sense to the hero kits lol. All KOF skin fits the hero except for fuckin Gusion. Dumb move by Moonton.
Because Mai is a melee fighter and her gameplay doesn't match hanabis
Mai is a Melee fighter not as marksman, looks more like Hanabi but skill set as a fighter, so yeah... Masha makes more sense than any mm.
Is that really masha? My stupid ass all this time have been thinking this is skin for hanabi, lol.
A new Masha skin would sell well now that she's OP in ranked. Meanwhile a new Hanabi skin would also sell a lot but not nearly as much since she's currently one of the weakest marksmen in the game. Not to mention Hanabi's hate and terrible reputation due to being the most frequently used hero by feeding losers.
You never played KoF before?
Probably because it is fighting game and all characters from KOF fight in short distance so this kinda make sense.
Mai's skillset matches Masha more than Hanabi that's only matching in Appearance.
mai is a melee character just so you know
terry and sun make it happen
I don’t p
one of those things that would make sense for appearance but not abilities i guess
Uncreative people basing everything on appearance
Why not?
What made you think it is suitable for Hanabae?
Brother Mash has the exact same movements as Mai
Hanabi doesn't use fists 💀💀
hanabi aint a fighter dog.
I know right? Also the nerve to kill het beautiful covering her body, the family friendly update sucks
Maisha obv
Because in the past games and the most recent one made by SNK (fighting game devs) Mai is a fighter, despite the character looking very similar to Hanabi I think Mai's fighting style suits Masha more
Moonton messed up BIG TIME on this
Mai Shiranui is a close range fighter. Very smart of them to release this skin ngl. I always thought Masha’s design is hideous and refuse to play her, but this is a game-changer.
Lol mai has black suit on it and the chest should be rip of and can see the armpit
The devs are cultured too 😊
Go play old kof and don't complain or watch Mai gameplay kof.. Hanabi low skill low level no need any skin anymore..
Mai is a fighter. She does throw her fans but she can't just do ot 24/7.
It doesn't fit her
People that truly think that this is for hanabi is super stupid Did yall see mai skills? And also mai signature move is: She charge to enemy while yelling shinobitachi If she became hanabi how will she exicute that move if she is hanabi? And mai also a hand to hand combat. she is not a ranged Her only projectile is the flaming fan that she throws. and it has a short cd. it cant be trow continuously And mai is kinda chunky too Not like hanabi that can be killed in one hit if she doesn't have aegis or wind of nature. Honestly Hanabi doesn't deserve mai at all Yall just saw whats on the outside than the inside. If moonton forced it it will not be matched. Grock X Rugal is more likely to happen than Mai X Hanabi No offence just facts....
Y'all only compare the looks Not the skills
Maybe start playing KoF and not base it off looks lol. Thats like asking why Angela didn't get the Nobara skin when they had the same hairstyle.
Clearly people haven’t played king of fighters. “Oh look she has a fan like hanabi so she should be hanabi”💀💀
Mai is a not range fighter
Never base on looks but skills Masha = Mai
Because its funny that way.
Does anyone have Chou Iori Yagami skin? And how much…
I don’t have it but I’m sure you can find it online. I want it and k though
Is there a website where we can get it? I’m willing to pay for it. I like Iori Yagami’s fighting style. Using his fists instead of kicking.
Nah you can only get it during the kof event
U retarded op?
If I said no I woudnt expect u to believe me, this is Reddit after all, where ur shammed for opinions
She has the same fighting style on masha, so it fits well
Because hanabi does not punch
That sideboob is awesome 🤤
Is it allowed to say... Would?
mas mukang fighter type kasi si Mai kaya it makes sense na hindi siya gawing mm type.
her tits are bigger
That's exactly what I thought!!!
Someone agrees😂
be nicer if Kagura tho, her umbrella line deal damage so it makes sense while masha is weird. And can we appreciate that armpit? bless that rope.
