Guilty Gear sprite May.png

May became an orphan when she lost her parents at a young age. Johnny (who makes his playable debut in Guilty Gear X), the leader of a group of sky-pirates dedicated to helping the less fortunate, took her in and gave her the name "May" when he found her on May 5th. Over the years, May grew close to Johnny, and developed an unwavering dedication to him. May enters the tournament for the sole purpose of breaking Johnny out of prison after he stole from the rich to give to the poor.

May is one of the more complex characters in Guilty Gear. Her abilities range from being able to attack with a giant anchor (despite her size) and summoning aquatic creatures to aid her in combat. Her enormous weapon doesn't make her any quicker, nor does it give her much of a decent range. In addition, she doesn't have any anti-air attacks which are as effective as they should be. However, if you learn how to make the most of May's advantages, her disadvantages won't be too major. The average power she attacks with is actually her maximum power; some of May's simplest attacks can cause some serious damage.
