Capcom showed off the gameplay for Mai Shiranui today, something that fans have been waiting quite a bit to see now. Crossing over from the Fatal Fury franchise, the character looks right at home in Street Fighter 6.

Her gameplay looks to be a mix of strong zoning similar to Guile but also mixed with powerful rush down and set ups as well which… as a hardcore player I may or may not look forward to dealing with.


All in all, Mai does look like she could be a fun addition to the roster. Much like Terry Bogard, who also crossed over from Fatal Fury back in September proved to be. Mai has also been known to be a sexual character as well albeit in a positive and very playful manner and Capcom has kept that aspect of her personality in tact along with her gameplay from other games.

Mai is set to release in Street Fighter 6 on February 5th 2025. She will be followed by Elena in the spring soon after and will also be appearing in the upcoming Fatal Fury : City of the Wolves.
