Street Fighter 6 Mai

Street Fighter™ 6 is set to spice things up with the introduction of its second-ever guest character, Mai Shiranui from SNK, arriving on February 5, 2025. Known for her iconic appearances in the Fatal Fury series, Mai makes her debut in Street Fighter 6, bringing her dynamic and visually captivating presence to the world-renowned fighting game.

Mai Shiranui will be accessible on a variety of platforms including PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Her arrival is highly anticipated as players across multiple systems are eager to experience her seamless integration into the Street Fighter 6 universe.

Mai will feature a unique move-set inspired by SNK classics, melding traditional flair with the modern gameplay mechanics of Street Fighter 6. Gamers can experience the full range of her abilities across all game modes, including the intensive Fighting Ground, the socially engaging Battle Hub, and the immersive World Tour.

Adding a touch of fashion to her combat prowess, Mai comes equipped with two distinct outfits. Outfit 1 is a nostalgic nod to her classic look from the Fatal Fury series, and Outfit 2 highlights her latest fashion from the yet-to-be-released Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. Those looking to unlock Outfit 2 can do so by acquiring Fighter Coins or maxing out their bond with Mai in World Tour mode.

Her move-set is nothing short of spectacular, featuring a compilation of special techniques such as Kachousen, Ryuuenbu, and Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi among others. These moves promise to bring a fresh dimension to combats with their intricate execution and eye-popping animation.

Players with the Year 2 Character Pass or Year 2 Ultimate Pass are in for a treat as they will gain direct access to Mai. For those considering new characters, this pass is a viable option as it not only includes Mai but also adds hype with upcoming releases like M. Bison and Terry, with Elena slated for a Spring 2025 launch.

Street Fighter 6 itself is no stranger to success, having sold over four million units worldwide. It offers rich, extensive content split across its main modes, keeping players invested in engaging and competitive play. As the roster expands, this addition signifies an exciting era for both veteran fans and new players eager to explore all that the series has to offer.
