May is a character from the Guilty Gear fighting game series. She is a young, cute, and spunky member of the Jellyfish Pirates, and is utterly dedicated to Johnny, the leader of the pirates and the man who raised her after she was orphaned. She entered the first tournament in order to bail Johnny out of prison, and fights in later tournaments for his benefit. She fights with a massive ship's anchor, which she is able to swing with ease. It is highly probable that May is Japanese, but she has been kept in the dark about her heritage for her own safety. Image File history File links May(GG). ...

Gameplay

May's advantages are her high damage combos, her command throw (which leads into good damage), and her ability to zone with some pokes and her dolphin hoops. Her disadvantages are her relatively slow speed, a lack of an easy high/low mixup game, difficult combos, and her need to usually get close to an opponent to deal potent damage. One specific move that's very popular is her forward+punch move, which is one of the most dizzying moves in the game.

Trivia

• May's name is based on her assumed month of birth, May, and probably is not her real first name, further hiding her japanese heritage from the PWAB.
• May is also the source of the name of the Jellyfish Pirate vessel, the May Ship, a enormous air vessel that acts as a stage in at least the X-series.
• May always has a level named after her, with Guilty Gear X and XX having the May Ship itself, while the landed May Ship is based at the May Beach in Isuka.
• May's name is a reference to Brian May, the lead guitarist to the British rock band Queen.
• May has an irrational hate for bald people. Among other things, this leads her to attack Faust in one of the latter's paths in Story Mode in Guilty Gear XX.
