Street Fighter 6 Welcomes Mai Shiranui on February 5th
Get ready for some fiery action! Mai Shiranui joins the Street Fighter 6 roster on February 5th, bringing her iconic moveset with a fresh twist. This highly anticipated addition follows the September 24th, 2024 release of Terry Bogard, bridging a significant gap in Year 2 DLC content.
The latest gameplay trailer showcases Mai's signature style, featuring both her classic Fatal Fury attire and a new outfit from Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. While retaining familiar moves like her iconic fan attacks, Mai's Street Fighter 6 iteration incorporates unique motion inputs, replacing traditional charge attacks. She also gains "Flame Stacks," enhancing her abilities with additional effects.
Mai's storyline in Street Fighter 6 centers on her search for Terry Bogard's brother, Andy, in Metro City. This quest leads to encounters and battles with other characters, including Juri, testing her skills and mettle.
The extended wait between DLC releases has sparked some fan frustration, particularly regarding the lack of character skins in recent battle passes. While the Boot Camp Bonanza battle pass offered numerous customization options, the absence of character skins – a staple in Street Fighter 5 – has been a point of contention. However, Mai Shiranui's arrival promises to reignite excitement and deliver the engaging content fans crave.
