Street Fighter 6 Welcomes Mai Shiranui on February 5th
Get ready for some fiery action! Mai Shiranui, the iconic Fatal Fury fighter, joins the Street Fighter 6 roster on February 5th. This highly anticipated addition brings her signature moves, reimagined with unique twists for Street Fighter 6's gameplay mechanics.
The latest gameplay trailer showcases Mai's abilities in detail. She'll sport both her classic Fatal Fury attire and a brand-new costume from Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. While retaining her familiar moveset, Mai utilizes motion inputs instead of charge attacks, adding a fresh dynamic to her fighting style. The introduction of "Flame Stacks" further enhances her attacks, providing strategic depth for players to master.
Mai's storyline in Street Fighter 6 focuses on her search for Terry Bogard's brother, Andy, in Metro City. This quest leads her into encounters with various characters, including Juri, resulting in compelling battles that test her skills.
The release of Mai follows a significant gap since the launch of Terry Bogard on September 24th, 2024. This extended wait, coupled with some fan feedback regarding the battle pass system's focus on avatar customization over character skins, has generated anticipation for Mai's arrival and future content updates. Capcom's Year 2 DLC, which also includes M. Bison and Elena, promises to deliver more exciting additions to the Street Fighter 6 experience.
