A new gameplay trailer for Street Fighter 6 gives fans an exciting look at Mai Shiranui, confirming her addition to the roster on February 5.

During Summer Game Fest, Capcom announced the second year of content for Street Fighter 6, sparking excitement among fans. A highlight of this announcement was the collaboration between Capcom and SNK, bringing iconic fighters Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui into the game. Alongside them, M. Bison and Elena were also confirmed for Year 2 DLC. With Bison and Terry already available, Mai's imminent release is highly anticipated.

The latest trailer showcases Mai Shiranui in her classic Fatal Fury costume as well as her new look from the upcoming City of the Wolves. Capcom has ensured that Street Fighter 6's version of Mai will be familiar to fans, featuring her classic moves like fans, but with unique properties and motion inputs instead of charge attacks. Players can also earn "Flame Stacks" to enhance her moves further.

Street Fighter 6 Mai Shiranui Launch Date

• February 5

Capcom has teased Mai's storyline in Street Fighter 6, which revolves around her quest to find Terry's brother Andy in Metro City. Her journey leads to confrontations with other characters, including Juri, testing her skills and abilities.

The extended period between DLC releases has left some fans frustrated with the relative silence from Capcom, particularly regarding updates and the game's battle pass system. The recent Boot Camp Bonanza battle pass, while offering customization items, disappointed fans by focusing on avatar items rather than new character skins, a feature that was regularly updated in Street Fighter 5.
