Key Takeaways

  • Mai Shiranui from King of Fighters is coming to Street Fighter 6 in 2025.
  • Mai retains her iconic moves and outfits in the crossover.
  • With Mai’s release, it opens the door for crossovers in the next Character Pass.

As a seasoned gamer who’s been around since the days of arcades and pixelated graphics, I can’t help but feel a rush of nostalgia seeing Mai Shiranui grace the Street Fighter 6 roster. Growing up, I spent countless hours honing my skills against her in King of Fighters tournaments, so having her join the fight in SF6 is like a dream come true!

2025 will see the arrival of Mai Shiranui from the King of Fighters series in the upcoming Street Fighter 6, as demonstrated by a fresh sneak peek trailer.

Mai Shiranui, a renowned figure, is best recognized as the standout female character hailing from the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters series. Similar to Chun-Li from Street Fighter, she frequently appears in SNK collaborations with Terry Bogard.

As I, a dedicated gamer, excitedly announce, I’m making my way into Street Fighter 6 as part of the Year 2 Character Pass! A thrilling new teaser trailer on the official Street Fighter YouTube channel has unveiled that I’ll be joining the fray in the Winter of 2025 or early next year. Can’t wait to see you there on the battlefield!

Mai is Bringing the Fury to Street Fighter 6

The trailer also showed off her iconic moves in the trailer, as her fiery Ninjutsu combined with high-speed punches and kicks come straight from her home series. She beat the hell out of some ninjas while showing off some prospective super moves in the process.

This continues the pattern set by the Street Fighter 6 crossover, as Terry has been included in the Year 2 Character Pass too. This means he’s back with his distinctive SNK flair, enriching the fighting series by Capcom again.

In the crossover, Mai’s distinctive design and attire have been preserved. Interestingly, she didn’t appear on Terry’s stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate because of her outfits. However, Street Fighter 6 seems to emphasize fanservice more, which explains why she remains unaltered from the original content.

Since Mai was the last character to join the Year 2 roster for the fighter, fans are now speculating about who might appear in the next collaboration. Could Kazuya from Tekken, known for his sinister abilities, make an appearance? Or will we finally witness the long-anticipated crossover with Mortal Kombat?

With the release of the Mai teaser trailer, there’s an opportunity for another trailer to debut during The Game Awards 2025. This could offer Street Fighter 6 enthusiasts a sneak peek into future updates.
