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, the first Year 2 DLC character.
The new gameplay trailer showcases Mai's classic moves, now enhanced with unique properties and motion inputs instead of traditional charge attacks. She retains fan-favorite techniques and introduces "Flame Stacks" for even more impactful attacks. Players can choose between her iconic Fatal Fury outfit and a new costume from the upcoming Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.
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 DLC release comes after a period of relative quiet from Capcom regarding Street Fighter 6 updates and the game's battle pass system. While the recent Boot Camp Bonanza battle pass offered customization items, the lack of character skins, a staple in Street Fighter 5, has been a point of frustration for some fans. Mai Shiranui's arrival promises to reignite excitement and address some of these concerns.
Key Features:
- Release Date: February 5th
- Gameplay: Classic moves with unique twists and motion inputs. "Flame Stacks" enhance her attacks.
- Costumes: Classic Fatal Fury outfit and a new City of the Wolves costume.
- Story: Mai searches for Andy Bogard in Metro City, facing off against other fighters.
