    Mai Shiranui Joins Street Fighter 6 on February 5

    Mai is almost here, and mai oh mai.

    Capcom announced tonight that Mai Shiranui will join Street Fighter 6 as DLC on February 5, 2025. It was revealed yesterday that a trailer would premiere today, and Capcom has delivered on that. Mai’s moveset has been revealed, and she has both her iconic outfit and City of the Wolves outfit from the upcoming Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

    Mai is the second-ever guest in the history of Street Fighter, with Terry Bogard acting as the first. She is the third DLC character in the Year 2 Character Pass, with Elena and likely a Year 3 DLC pass remaining for the rest of 2025.You can check out Mai’s new trailer below and get ready for February 5:

    An overview of her moveset was provided in a press release:

    • Kachousen: Mai throws her fan like a fireball. When used normally, the fan loses to other projectiles and your opponent’s strikes can knock them down. But when you hold down the input, they can no longer be neutralized by strikes. In addition, if the fan hits an opponent, it will pop up and fall down on them for another hit.
    • Ryuuenbu: Spin forward in a fiery blaze for combos or to control space.
    • Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi: Perform a cartwheel and fly towards opponents to elbow them. The OD version sends Mai into the air to follow up on the attack or to surprise opponents below.
    • Hishou Ryuuenjin: Mai’s dragon punch, which works as an effective anti-air as she delivers a flying upwards kick bathed in flame.
    • Kagerou no Mai: Mai’s Level 1 Super Art, she sets the immediate vicinity on fire, which can be useful as an anti-air move or combo ender. The move also gives Mai five Flame Stocks which give all of Mai’s special moves and Level 1 and 2 Super Arts special properties.
    • Chou Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi: Mai’s Level 2 Super Art where she rushes forward in a blaze of glory that can get around projectiles.
    • Shiranui Ryuu: Enbu Ada Zakura: Mai’s Level 3 Super Art, she flies like a butterfly and stings like a bee in a series of elegant fan strikes.

    Once again, Mai Shiranui will join the battle in Street Fighter 6 on February 5. Street Fighter 6 is out now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
