Street Fighter 6 Unveils Exciting Update on February 5

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, bridging a significant gap in Year 2 DLC content.

The latest gameplay trailer showcases Mai's classic Fatal Fury attire and 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 instead of traditional charge attacks. She also utilizes "Flame Stacks" to power up her attacks, adding a strategic layer to her gameplay.

Mai's storyline in Street Fighter 6 focuses on her search for Terry Bogard's brother, Andy, leading to clashes with various characters, including Juri. This personal quest adds a compelling narrative element to her presence in the game.

Capcom's Year 2 DLC, announced at Summer Game Fest, features a collaboration with SNK, bringing both Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui to Street Fighter 6, alongside M. Bison and Elena. With Bison and Terry already released, the arrival of Mai is a highly anticipated event for fans.

The extended period between DLC releases has led to some fan frustration, particularly regarding 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 been a point of contention.
