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, and bridges a significant gap in Year 2 DLC content.
The latest gameplay trailer showcases Mai's classic Fatal Fury attire alongside a brand-new costume from Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. While retaining her iconic moveset, Mai's Street Fighter 6 iteration features unique adjustments, incorporating motion inputs in place of traditional charge attacks. She also boasts the ability to accumulate "Flame Stacks," enhancing her already impressive abilities.
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 will test her skills.
This DLC release comes after a period of relative quiet from Capcom regarding major updates and 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 left some fans wanting more. Mai Shiranui's arrival, however, promises to reignite excitement and deliver the fresh content players have been eagerly awaiting.
