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, it seems unlikely we'll witness their interaction again in the near future. 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 coincidence that the developers have chosen to pit Mai against the legendary Chun-Li in her gameplay trailer, sparking excitement among fans.
Mai's gameplay trailer showcases several of her signature moves, and her super move is nothing short of spectacular. It's clear that Mai is poised to become a fan favorite in Street Fighter 6. Unfortunately, eager players will need to wait a bit longer, as Capcom has scheduled her release for February 5, not January as some might have hoped. That means we're looking at an additional three weeks of anticipation.
As we count down the days, we hope the Street Fighter 6 team will keep the community engaged with more content to tide us over until Mai Shiranui makes her grand entrance into the game.
