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 featured in upcoming releases. However, excitement is building for fans of Mai Shiranui, who is set to join the roster as a guest character in Street Fighter 6. It's no surprise that the developers chose to showcase Mai against the legendary Chun-Li in her gameplay trailer.
Mai Shiranui's trailer highlights her signature moves, with her super move looking particularly impressive. There's no doubt that Mai will become a fan-favorite in Street Fighter 6. However, 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.
This means a three-week wait lies ahead, but the Street Fighter 6 team is expected to keep the community engaged with more content in the meantime. Let's hope they deliver, keeping the anticipation alive until Mai Shiranui's much-anticipated arrival.
