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 interaction won't be revisited 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 surprise that the developers chose to showcase Mai against Chun-Li in her gameplay trailer, setting the stage for an exciting rivalry.
Mai's gameplay trailer highlights 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. However, eager fans will need to exercise a bit of patience, as Capcom has announced that Mai won't be available until February 5, pushing her release back by three weeks from January.
As we count down the days until Mai's arrival, we hope the Street Fighter 6 team will keep us engaged with additional content to tide us over. The anticipation for Mai Shiranui's debut is high, and the wait will surely be worth it.
