Starting on February 5th, SNK’s Alluring Kunoichi Mai Shiranui joins the Street Fighter™ 6 roster on February 5, 2025, across PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam! Players can look forward to a unique moveset inspired by SNK titles while reimagined with modern flair. She’ll be available in all three game modes and is the newest Master in World Tour mode.
As the trailer shows, Mai will have a varied moveset that aims to control opponents via flaming objects, divekicks and more. Check out the full list:
- 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.
Mai will also launch with two outfits. One is a more classic look, while the 2nd is themed around her appearance in the upcoming Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. Players can acquire the second outfit with Fighter Coins or maxing your bond with her in World Tour. Mai is included for players who own or purchase the Year 2 Character Pass or Year 2 Ultimate Pass. Both can be purchased with Fighter coins.
