Three legendary female fighters instantly spring to mind: Nina Williams, Chun-Li, and Mai Shiranui. While Nina and Chun-Li clashed in Street Fighter x Tekken, a rematch isn't on the immediate horizon.
However, Mai Shiranui's arrival as a guest character in Street Fighter 6 is a different story. Notably, her gameplay trailer showcases a direct confrontation with Chun-Li.
Mai's signature moves are faithfully recreated, 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 engaged with additional content in the meantime.
