Capcom is bringing their second ever guest character into Street Fighter 6 early next month. Mai Shiranui of Fatal Fury and King of Fighters fame is gearing up to join the fight, and the company behind the popular fighting title continues to release more details and content related to her leading up to her official release.
Following last week’s gameplay trailer, this week Capcom has shared Mai’s full Street Fighter 6 theme song.
Alongside the almost four minute song (which you can find below), Street Fighter 6’s director Takayuki Nakayama shared some quick words about what exactly we’re hearing here. Apparently, this character theme was composed by the same artist who made Chun-Li’s theme in Street Fighter 6.
“The theme music for Mai was composed (Arrangement) by Kitagawa-san, the composer who created the theme music for SF6 Chun-Li,” wrote Nakayama about the new track. “I have known him for over 10 years and he does a wonderful job I hope you enjoy it”
Mai’s theme, entitled Enryuujin SF6 Arrange, is an upbeat track with some funky bass lines leading the way. There are also flavors of her place of origin throughout, with what sounds like a shamisen (traditional Japanese guitar) periodically jumping in for a few quick riffs.
The overall vibe and tempo of this song feels light and swift, which matches Mai’s fighting style quite well.
Take a listen to Mai’s full Street Fighter 6 theme below and let us know what you think about it in the comments.
