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, the focus now shifts to Mai's imminent arrival.
The latest trailer provides an in-depth look at Mai Shiranui, featuring her classic Fatal Fury costume and a new City of the Wolves outfit.

She retains her iconic moves and gains the ability to build "Flame Stacks" for enhanced attacks.
Street Fighter 6 Mai Shiranui Launch Date
- February 5th
Mai's story in Street Fighter 6 offers a glimpse into her motivations. Unlike Terry's quest for strong opponents, Mai's journey centers on finding Andy Bogard in Metro City. This pursuit leads to encounters and battles with characters like Juri.
The extended period between DLC releases has caused some fan frustration, particularly concerning communication from Capcom regarding major updates and the battle pass system. While the recent "Boot Camp Bonanza" battle pass offered customization options, the lack of character skins (instead focusing on avatar items) has drawn criticism. This contrasts with Street Fighter 5's frequent addition of new character skins, fueling ongoing fan disappointment.
