Three legendary female fighters immediately spring to mind: Nina Williams, Chun-Li, and Mai Shiranui. While Street Fighter x Tekken featured a memorable clash between Nina and Chun-Li, a rematch isn't on the horizon.
However, Mai Shiranui's arrival as a guest character in Street Fighter 6 is a different story. Her gameplay trailer cleverly pits her against Chun-Li, a matchup that feels far from accidental.
Mai's signature moves are all present, her Super looks spectacular, and she's poised to become a fan favorite in Street Fighter 6. The only downside? Capcom's announcement pushes her release date to February 5th, meaning a three-week wait.
Let's hope the Street Fighter 6 team keeps us entertained with additional content in the meantime.
