Street Fighter 6 Welcomes Mai Shiranui on February 5th
Get ready for a fiery addition to Street Fighter 6! Mai Shiranui, the iconic Fatal Fury character, joins the roster on February 5th, bringing her signature moves and a fresh fighting style.
A new gameplay trailer showcases Mai's updated moveset, featuring motion inputs instead of traditional charge attacks. While retaining her classic moves and fan-favorite techniques, she also boasts a new "Flame Stacks" mechanic, adding extra flair and power to her attacks. Players can choose between her classic Fatal Fury outfit and a stylish new costume from Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.
Mai's storyline in Street Fighter 6 focuses on her search for Terry Bogard's brother, Andy, in Metro City. This quest leads her into clashes with other fighters, testing her skills and adding a compelling narrative to her gameplay.
The release of Mai follows a significant gap since the September 24, 2024 launch of Terry Bogard, the first Year 2 DLC character. This extended wait, coupled with some fan feedback on the recent battle pass content (which focused on avatar customization rather than character skins), has generated anticipation for Mai's arrival and future DLC releases. However, the announcement of a second year of DLC, including Mai and other iconic characters like M. Bison and Elena, has been met with overall positive reception.
