When it comes to iconic female fighting game characters, three names immediately come to mind: Nina Williams, Chun-Li, and Mai Shiranui. Fans have seen Nina and Chun-Li go head-to-head in Street Fighter x Tekken, but there won't be any new interactions between them in the near future.
However, the same cannot be said for Mai Shiranui, who is set to join Street Fighter 6 as a new guest character. It seems fitting that the developers chose to pit Mai against the legendary Chun-Li in her gameplay trailer. Mai's signature moves are showcased beautifully, and her super move looks absolutely stunning. It's clear that Mai is poised to become a fan favorite in Street Fighter 6.
Unfortunately, fans will have to wait a bit longer to get their hands on Mai, as Capcom has announced her release date for February 5. That means we have three more weeks to wait. In the meantime, we hope the Street Fighter 6 team will keep us engaged with more exciting content to tide us over until Mai's arrival.
