Among the most memorable female fighters in gaming history, three names immediately spring to mind: Nina Williams, Chun-Li, and Mai Shiranui. While Nina and Chun-Li clashed in Street Fighter x Tekken, a rematch isn't on the horizon.
However, Mai Shiranui's arrival as a guest character in Street Fighter 6 is a different story. It's no surprise, then, that her gameplay trailer showcases a showdown against Chun-Li.
Mai's signature moves are all present, her Super looks spectacular, and she's poised to become a fan favorite in Street Fighter 6. Sadly, players will need to exercise a bit more patience; Capcom has set the release date for February 5th, meaning a three-week wait.
Let's hope the Street Fighter 6 team keeps us entertained with additional content in the meantime.
