Summary

  • Mai Shiranui will be added to Street Fighter 6 on February 5, bringing her classic moves with unique changes.
  • As well as having motion input moves, players can get her classic outfit and new Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves costumes.
  • Mai’s storyline in Street Fighter 6 involves tracking down Terry’s brother Andy in Metro City, facing off against challengers.

For the first time, Street Fighter 6 has unveiled an exciting gameplay trailer showcasing Mai Shiranui. This sneak peek not only offers fans their closest look at her but also confirms her inclusion in the roster, which is imminent within a few weeks. The fanbase of Street Fighter 6 has been eagerly waiting for fresh content, as the second Year 2 DLC character Terry was released as far back as September 24, 2024. This gap between content releases has left many craving more.

At Summer Game Fest, Capcom surprised many fans by unveiling another year’s worth of content for Street Fighter 6. The news was generally well-received, but the standout aspect of Street Fighter 6’s Year 2 DLC is the collaboration between Capcom and SNK, which will bring classic characters Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui into the game. Additionally, M. Bison and Elena were also confirmed to be part of this update. Now that Bison and Terry are accessible, anticipation builds for Mai, who is scheduled for release in a matter of weeks.

In the newly released trailer for Street Fighter 6, fans get an up-close view of Mai Shiranui. Notably, she appears in both her original Fatal Fury attire and a new outfit designed for City of the Wolves. Capcom has hinted that Mai’s character in Street Fighter 6 will be reminiscent of past versions, but with fresh twists. Instead of charge attacks, her moves now have unique properties and motion input. Additionally, she can accumulate “Flame Stacks” to boost the effects of her existing moves, making them even more powerful.

Street Fighter 6 Mai Shiranui Launch Date

  • February 5

In Street Fighter 6, Capcom hinted at some aspects of Mai’s storyline. Unlike Terry, whose purpose is to measure his strength against powerful adversaries, Mai seems to have a more straightforward goal. She plans to locate Terry’s brother Andy in Metro City as she believes he was recently there. Along the way, she encounters characters such as Juri, who aim to test her abilities and talents.

Due to the extended gap since the release of DLC, many fans have been growing increasingly impatient due to Capcom’s seemingly quiet approach, not just regarding significant updates but also the game’s battle pass system. In the latest Street Fighter 6 Boot Camp Bonanza battle pass, there were plenty of customization options, yet fans pointed out that it was light on character skins and instead emphasized avatar items. The absence of new character skins continues to disappoint fans, as they were a common feature in Street Fighter 5.
