by

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can’t help but appreciate the subtle nod Street Fighter 6 has made to the gaming community’s long-standing inside joke about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The “good girl” description for Mai, a character who was once speculated to join the Smash roster and was famously rejected due to the series being for “good boys and girls,” is a clever wink at the community.

It’s been observed that the latest character unveiling for Mai in Street Fighter 6 could be hinting at a connection with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The community had speculated about Mai being included as a DLC character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but her creator, Masahiro Sakurai, had stated previously that the series was only for “good boys and girls.” This controversial comment seems to have been carried forward in the official reveal trailer of Mai for Street Fighter 6, reflecting its lasting impact within the fighting game community.

As a dedicated gamer, I can tell you that I was utterly thrilled when Street Fighter 6 dropped in the scorching summer of 2023. This iconic fighting game franchise stepped boldly into uncharted territories, with enhanced mechanics and features designed to make it the most engaging and gratifying installment yet.

Today saw the unveiling of the official trailer for the latest guest character, Mai, set to join Street Fighter 6. Hidden within this debut could be a nod towards an old joke related to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The Twitter caption reads, “Mai will teach you all the Shiranui techniques you can handle.” In a playful twist, the character is referred to as a “good girl,” which might just be a wink to the world of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Originally, Masahiro Sakurai, the longtime director of the series, stated that Mai would not make an appearance in Ultimate, as he designed the game for both “good girls and boys.
