Street Fighter 6 Welcomes Mai Shiranui on February 5th
Get ready for some fiery action! Mai Shiranui, the iconic Fatal Fury fighter, joins the Street Fighter 6 roster on February 5th. This highly anticipated addition brings her signature moves, reimagined with unique twists for Street Fighter 6's gameplay mechanics.
A new gameplay trailer showcases Mai's impressive abilities, confirming her arrival just weeks away. This release follows Terry Bogard's addition on September 24th, 2024, bridging a significant gap in Street Fighter 6's Year 2 DLC content.
Capcom's collaboration with SNK has delivered both Terry and Mai, alongside M. Bison and Elena. Mai's gameplay retains the familiar feel of her classic moveset, but incorporates motion inputs instead of charge attacks. She also boasts a new mechanic, "Flame Stacks," allowing for enhanced move effects. Players can choose between her classic Fatal Fury costume and a new outfit from the upcoming Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.
Mai's Story in Street Fighter 6
Unlike Terry's quest for challenging opponents, Mai's storyline involves a search for Terry's brother, Andy, in Metro City. This pursuit inevitably leads to clashes with other characters, including Juri, testing her skills and strength.
Addressing Fan Concerns
The extended wait between DLC releases has led to some fan frustration, particularly regarding the battle pass system. While the recent Boot Camp Bonanza battle pass offered customization options, the lack of character skins, a staple in Street Fighter 5, has been a point of contention.
Key Features:
- Release Date: February 5th
- Gameplay: Classic moves with motion inputs and "Flame Stacks" mechanic.
- Costumes: Classic Fatal Fury outfit and a new City of the Wolves costume.
- Storyline: A quest to find Terry Bogard's brother, Andy, in Metro City.
