Capcom has just dropped the latest Street Fighter 6 trailer for its next DLC fighter coming to the game here in Season 2. Mai Shiranui of Fatal Fury and King of Fighters fame is joining the fight as the second-ever guest fighter after fellow SNK representative Terry Bogard joined back in September.
This new trailer gives us a look at the introduction to Mai in Street Fighter 6’s single player World Tour Mode. In addition to this, Capcom has also confirmed the fighter’s release window.
“Mai will teach you all the Shiranui techniques you can handle—as long as you don’t keep her waiting,” wrote Capcom on Twitter. “This good girl from SNK’s Fatal Fury series is coming to #StreetFighter6 in early 2025!”
Ms. Shiranui is the third DLC character to be added to Street Fighter 6 in Season 2. She was preceded by M. Bison in June, then Terry in September, and she will be followed by Elena sometime in spring of 2025.
In the teaser, we see the main World Tour protagonist walk into a new area that Mai specifies is Aokigahara, Japan. This happens to be her stage from Fatal Fury Special, though it is currently unclear if it will become an actual playable stage in Street Fighter 6 or just acts as her World Tour area.
She offers to show her new pupil all of the Shiranui techniques that they can handle before silently appearing and putting on a graceful display of fire dancing with her trademark fans.
Mai is able to offer her potential pupil a demonstration of said techniques when several ninja appear and attempt to attack her. Quickly and easily thwarting them with fluid movement and fiery attacks, she laughs and lets the player know that the Shiranui clan welcomes them with open arms.
In the original Season 2 DLC line up infographic, Capcom noted that Mai would be set for release in “Winter 2025,” which originally confused a lot of people as Elena was slated for Spring 2025 despite being shown to come after Mai. Today, however, the company confirmed that Mai will be joining the game in “early 2025,” so we definitely won’t be seeing her released here in December even though this month is technically considered a part of Winter 2025.
