Apr 22,25

Summary

  • Mai Shiranui will join the roster of Street Fighter 6 on February 5, bringing her iconic moves with unique modifications.
  • Players can enjoy her classic outfit alongside new costumes from Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.

A new gameplay trailer for Street Fighter 6 offers fans an in-depth look at Mai Shiranui and confirms her addition to the game in just a few weeks. The anticipation for new content has been high, especially since the last DLC character, Terry, was released on September 24, 2024, marking a significant gap in content updates.

Capcom surprised many at Summer Game Fest by announcing a second year of content for Street Fighter 6. The announcement was warmly received, particularly because it included a collaboration with SNK to introduce beloved characters Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui. Alongside these, M. Bison and Elena were also confirmed for the roster. With Bison and Terry already available, the spotlight now shifts to Mai, set to be released soon.

The latest trailer showcases Mai Shiranui in her classic Fatal Fury costume and a new look from the upcoming City of the Wolves. Capcom has ensured that Street Fighter 6's version of Mai will resonate with longtime fans while introducing unique changes. Her moves now include motion inputs instead of charge attacks, and she retains her fans and other signature moves. Additionally, Mai can accumulate "Flame Stacks" to enhance her abilities further.

Capcom has also teased Mai's storyline within Street Fighter 6. While Terry's journey was about testing his strength against formidable opponents, Mai's purpose in Metro City is to locate Terry's brother Andy, whom she believes visited the city recently. This quest leads her to face off against other characters, including Juri, testing her skills and prowess.

The extended wait between DLC releases has left many fans frustrated with Capcom's communication and the game's battle pass system. The recent Boot Camp Bonanza battle pass, while offering numerous customization items, was criticized for lacking character skins, focusing instead on avatar items. This has led to ongoing frustration among fans, who fondly remember the regular addition of character skins in Street Fighter 5.
