Street Fighter 6 Mai Shiranui Launch Date

• February 5

Mai's narrative in Street Fighter 6 adds depth to her character. She journeys to Metro City in search of Terry's brother Andy, whom she believes recently visited the area. Along the way, she faces various challengers, including Juri, testing her skills and abilities.

The gap between DLC releases has left some fans feeling frustrated, particularly with the lack of communication from Capcom regarding major updates and the game's battle pass system. The recent Boot Camp Bonanza battle pass, while offering a variety of customization items, focused more on avatar items rather than character skins, a feature that was regularly updated in Street Fighter 5. Despite these frustrations, the anticipation for Mai Shiranui's addition to Street Fighter 6 remains high, promising new excitement and challenges for players.
