Capcom has unveiled an exciting addition to the Street Fighter 6 roster with the introduction of Mai Shiranui from the King of Fighters series, set to join the game as downloadable content on February 5th. As part of the Year 2 Character Pass, Mai is not just your average guest fighter; she brings a fresh and fiery moveset that blends classic SNK techniques with the modern mechanics of Street Fighter 6.
Mai’s fans will be thrilled to see her transition from the SNK universe into this iconic fighting game, where she’ll showcase her signature style across all game modes. Whether you’re battling it out in Fighting Ground, connecting with players in the Battle Hub, or exploring the World Tour, Mai is ready to make an impression as the latest Master on the scene.
Players can expect two stunning outfits for Mai. Her first outfit pays homage to her classic look from the Fatal Fury series, while the second is a nod to her upcoming role in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. The second outfit can be unlocked either through Fighter Coins or by building a strong bond with Mai in the World Tour.
As for her moveset, Mai is packed with powerful techniques. From throwing fiery fans with Kachousen to executing Ryuuenbu spins, her repertoire is designed to keep opponents on their toes. Her special moves, enhanced by Flame Stocks from her Level 1 Super Art, offer dynamic playstyles. She also has a range of Super Arts like the Kagerou no Mai, which engulfs battles in flames, or the elegant yet deadly Shiranui Ryuu: Enbu Ada Zakura.
With her addition, players who own or opt for the Year 2 Character Pass or Year 2 Ultimate Pass can enjoy her fiery style, or you can acquire her with Fighter Coins. Alongside Mai, previous newcomers M. Bison and Terry, as well as the much-anticipated Elena set for Spring 2025, promise an exhilarating Year 2 for Street Fighter 6 fans.
Street Fighter 6, which debuted in June 2023 on Windows PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5, continues to expand its universe, ensuring fans have plenty to look forward to. Stay tuned for more updates on the game and its vibrant roster!
