When discussing iconic female characters in fighting games, three names immediately come to mind: Nina Williams, Chun-Li, and Mai Shiranui. While fans have seen Nina and Chun-Li clash in Street Fighter x Tekken, their future interactions seem unlikely at this point. However, the same cannot be said for Mai Shiranui, who is set to join Street Fighter 6 as a new guest character. It's no surprise that the developers chose to pit Mai against Chun-Li in her gameplay trailer, creating a thrilling matchup between these legendary fighters.
Mai Shiranui's trailer showcases her signature moves and an impressive super move that promises to make her a fan favorite in Street Fighter 6. Unfortunately, fans will have to wait a bit longer to play as Mai, as Capcom has scheduled her release for February 5, not January as some might have hoped. That means we have three more weeks to wait before we can dive into battles with this iconic character.
While we count down the days until Mai's arrival, we're hopeful that the Street Fighter 6 team will keep us engaged with additional content to tide us over. With Mai Shiranui's addition, the game is set to become even more exciting, and we can't wait to see what other surprises Capcom has in store for us.
