Pro player IBSG|Sasamo discovered an interesting glitch with Mai Shiranui in Street Fighter 6 that gives her a gigantic solar flare that stays locked to her character model as she moves back and forth.
This glitch is only possible in training mode, because it takes advantage of the game’s ability to save and restore a state in that mode, which isn’t something you can do during a normal match of the game.
The glitch uses Mai’s Chou Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi, also known as her Super 2, and saving and loading a state when she’s in the middle of the animation.
This results in a gigantic solar flare staying on screen and tracking Mai’s movements, although it appears to lose its hitbox entirely, as the effect seems to be purely visual.
We’ve definitely seem some unique things in the past with save states in prior Street Fighter games, so it’s entirely possible more glitches like this exist.
