Street Fighter 6 Welcomes Mai Shiranui on February 5th
Get ready for a fiery addition to the Street Fighter 6 roster! Mai Shiranui, the iconic Fatal Fury character, joins the fight on February 5th, bringing her signature moves and a fresh fighting style.
A new gameplay trailer showcases Mai's impressive abilities, confirming her arrival after a significant content gap since Terry Bogard's release on September 24, 2024. The trailer highlights her classic moves, now enhanced with unique properties and motion inputs replacing traditional charge attacks. Players can also look forward to both her classic costume and a new outfit inspired by Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. The innovative "Flame Stacks" mechanic adds extra flair and power to her already formidable attacks.
Mai's storyline in Street Fighter 6 involves a quest to find Terry Bogard's brother, Andy, in Metro City, leading to exciting confrontations with other characters, including Juri.
Capcom's Year 2 DLC for Street Fighter 6, a collaboration with SNK, has been highly anticipated. While the addition of Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui (alongside M. Bison and Elena) was met with enthusiasm, the lengthy wait between DLC releases has caused some fan frustration, particularly regarding the game's battle pass system. Recent battle passes have focused heavily on avatar customization, leaving fans wanting more character-specific cosmetic options, a feature prevalent in Street Fighter 5.
Key Features:
- Mai Shiranui's Debut: February 5th marks the arrival of this beloved character.
- Classic Moves, Modernized: Expect familiar moves with innovative twists and motion inputs.
- New and Classic Costumes: Choose between Mai's iconic look and her City of the Wolves attire.
- Flame Stacks Mechanic: Enhance attacks with powerful flame effects.
- Intriguing Storyline: Follow Mai's quest to find Andy Bogard in Metro City.
The anticipation is high for Mai Shiranui's arrival, promising to reignite the excitement surrounding Street Fighter 6 and its ongoing content updates.
