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, bridging a significant gap in Year 2 DLC content.
The latest gameplay trailer showcases Mai's classic Fatal Fury attire and a brand-new outfit 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 charge attacks. She also gains the ability to build "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 challengers, including Juri. This contrasts with Terry's storyline, which centered on testing his skills against strong opponents.
The extended wait between DLC characters has fueled fan frustration, particularly regarding the game's battle pass system. While the recent Boot Camp Bonanza battle pass offered numerous customization options, the lack of character skins—a staple in Street Fighter 5—has been a point of contention among players.
Key Features:
- Release Date: February 5th
- Classic Moves & New Mechanics: Mai retains her iconic moves, enhanced with motion inputs and "Flame Stacks."
- New & Classic Costumes: Players can equip Mai with her classic Fatal Fury costume or her new City of the Wolves attire.
