Street Fighter 6: Big News Coming February 5th

Summary

• Mai Shiranui joins the Street Fighter 6 roster on February 5th, bringing her signature moves with unique twists.
• Players can equip her classic outfit and a new costume from Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.
• Mai's Street Fighter 6 storyline involves searching for Terry's brother, Andy, in Metro City, leading to clashes with various challengers.

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 characters.

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, alongside M. Bison and Elena. With Bison and Terry already released, focus shifts to Mai's imminent debut.

The latest trailer provides an in-depth look at Mai Shiranui, featuring her classic Fatal Fury costume and a new City of the Wolves attire. Capcom assures fans that Mai's gameplay will feel familiar, incorporating unique properties and motion inputs instead of charge attacks. She retains her iconic moves and can build "Flame Stacks" to enhance their effects.

Street Fighter 6 Mai Shiranui Launch Date

• February 5th

Capcom offers a glimpse into Mai's storyline. 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 caused frustration among fans, particularly regarding communication from Capcom and the game's battle pass system. While the recent Boot Camp Bonanza battle pass offered customization items, the lack of character skins (in favor of avatar items) has drawn criticism. This contrasts with Street Fighter 5's regular addition of new character skins, fueling ongoing fan dissatisfaction.
