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 signature moves and style to Metro City. This highly anticipated addition follows the September 24th, 2024 release of Terry Bogard, marking a significant content drop for the game.
The latest gameplay trailer showcases Mai's classic Fatal Fury attire alongside a new costume from Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. While retaining her iconic moveset, Mai's Street Fighter 6 iteration features unique adjustments, including motion inputs replacing traditional charge attacks. She also boasts the ability to accumulate "Flame Stacks" for enhanced move capabilities.
Mai's storyline in Street Fighter 6 focuses on her search for Terry Bogard's brother, Andy, leading to encounters with various characters, including Juri, who test her skills.
This release addresses the considerable gap between DLC characters, a point of frustration for many fans. While the recent Boot Camp Bonanza battle pass offered customization options, the lack of character skins, a staple in Street Fighter 5, continues to be a point of contention among the player base. The arrival of Mai Shiranui, however, is sure to reignite excitement for Street Fighter 6.
