A new gameplay trailer showcases Mai Shiranui in Street Fighter 6, confirming her arrival in just a few weeks. Fans have eagerly awaited new content since Terry Bogard's release on September 24, 2024, creating a significant gap between DLC releases.
Capcom surprised fans at Summer Game Fest by announcing a second year of content for Street Fighter 6. This collaboration with SNK brings iconic fighters Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui to the game, alongside M. Bison and Elena. With Bison and Terry already available, the focus shifts to Mai's imminent release.
The latest trailer provides an in-depth look at Mai Shiranui, featuring her classic Fatal Fury costume and a new City of the Wolves outfit. While familiar to longtime fans, her moveset incorporates unique properties and motion inputs instead of charge attacks. She retains her iconic moves and can build "Flame Stacks" to enhance her attacks.
Street Fighter 6 Mai Shiranui Launch Date
- February 5th
Capcom offers a glimpse into Mai's story within Street Fighter 6. Unlike Terry's quest for challenging opponents, Mai's journey focuses on tracking down Terry's brother, Andy, in Metro City. This pursuit leads to encounters and battles with characters like Juri.
The extended period between DLC releases has led to some fan frustration regarding Capcom's communication and the game's battle pass system. The recent "Boot Camp Bonanza" battle pass offered numerous customization items, but lacked character skins, focusing instead on avatar items. This absence of new character skins, a regular feature in Street Fighter 5, continues to be a point of contention among players.
