We’ve been waiting for what feels like ages to hear about some fresh character content in Street Fighter 6, but the wait is finally over! In just a few hours, we’ll get a glimpse of Mai’s gameplay trailer. This sneak peek will finally let us see how she’ll fit into Capcom’s top-tier fighting game.
Mai was first announced for the game back in June last year, and she’s not originally from the Street Fighter universe. Instead, she’s making her grand entrance from the Fatal Fury series, following in the footsteps of Terry Bogard, who’s already made the leap from one legendary game to another.
Though we’ve known for some time that Mai would be joining the Street Fighter 6 roster, details about her gameplay have remained a mystery. Fans are naturally expecting to see her signature moves from King of Fighters, but with Street Fighter 6’s distinctive elements like the drive gauge, we might get a few surprises. It’s possible we’ll witness the return of old favorite moves, reimagined with flashy flair, much like Terry.
We won’t have to wait too long to find out, either. Mai’s gameplay reveal is scheduled for release on Capcom’s channels at 3 PM PT, 6 PM ET, or midnight UTC. Make sure to keep an eye on Twitter and YouTube to be among the first to catch the action. You can also watch the trailer below.
The release of this trailer comes at a time when the community has been clamoring for more content updates in Street Fighter 6. While there’s been a steady stream of battle pass updates, the release of new characters and major alternate costumes has been somewhat lacking, causing some players to express their frustrations.
With all this in mind, how are you feeling about Mai’s gameplay reveal today? Excited? Share your thoughts with us below!
