COMBOS
Midscreen
Li Mei's combos begin by using her Enhanced Nova Blast (BF1+EX), a high projectile attack that launches opponents into the air. This is followed by a jump attack attack (U+F+1,3,4) and ended with (Air) Flipping Heel Kick (DB4).
1,2,4 BF1+EX U+F+1,3,4 DB4
MEDIUM
348.08
Li Mei becomes more threatening while her Sky Lantern (DB2) is on the screen. If a Sky Lantern is floating above the opponent, attacks such as 1,2,4 and B+3,4 can launch the opponent into it, causing the Sky Lantern to detonate for a combo.
DB2 1,2,4 U+F+1,3,4 DB4
MEDIUM
348.08
Corner
In the corner, Li Mei's combos are nearly identical to her midscreen combos. Rather than jumping forward after launching the opponent, a backwards jump must be done in order to continue the combo.
1,2,4 BF1+EX U+B+1,3,4 DB4
MEDIUM
348.08
Li Mei normally doesn't deal much damage on her own, but when paired with certain Kameos, her combo potential drastically increases. See the Kameos section for more information.
