Capcom has revealed that Fatal Fury icon Mai Shiranui will join the Street Fighter 6 roster on February 5th. Available for Deluxe Edition, Ultimate Edition, and Year 2 Character Pass owners, Mai can also be used within all 3 game modes.
The dazzling Mai also drops with two Outfits. Outfit 1 is reminiscent of her classic style across SNK’s historic Fatal Fury series. Outfit 2 will be themed around her newest look in the upcoming Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. Outfit 2 can be acquired via Fighter Coins or maxing out your bond with her in World Tour. A gameplay trailer is embedded above while more details about her and her moves are included below:
As seen in the trailer, Mai’s moveset uses a variety of familiar and newer techniques during matches to control her opponents with flaming projectiles, dive kicks, and more, including:
- 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 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 upward kick bathed in flame.
- Kagerou no Mai: Mai’s Level 1 Super Art, 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.
