Street Fighter 6 Unveils Exciting Revelations on Feb 5th

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 a fresh fighting style. 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 unique blend of classic and innovative fighting techniques. While retaining her iconic moves, she utilizes motion inputs instead of charge attacks, adding a new layer of strategic depth. The addition of "Flame Stacks" further enhances her abilities, creating visually stunning and powerful combos.

Fans can expect both Mai's classic Fatal Fury attire and a new costume from the upcoming Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. Her storyline in Street Fighter 6 involves a quest to find Terry Bogard's brother, Andy, in Metro City, leading to encounters with various challengers, including Juri.

Capcom's Year 2 DLC, announced at Summer Game Fest, promises a collaboration with SNK, bringing both Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui to the game alongside M. Bison and Elena. With Bison and Terry already released, the arrival of Mai is a highly anticipated event.

The extended wait between DLC releases has led to some fan frustration, particularly regarding the lack of character skins in recent battle passes. While the Boot Camp Bonanza battle pass offered numerous customization options, the absence of character skins has been a point of contention, contrasting with the more frequent skin releases in Street Fighter 5.
