Street Fighter 6 marks the first time that Fatal Fury characters like Mai Shiranui have appeared in Capcom’s mainline series, but not the first encounter between the two fighting game franchises. Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 brought them together 25 years ago, but their last crossover was in 2003’s SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos. So it’s high time for a rematch between Fatal Fury’s icon and her counterpart, Chun Li, in Street Fighter 6’s first gameplay trailer for Mai.
Many of Mai’s classic moves remain in her arsenal, but she also seems to have greater control of her fire-infused moves, as well. Mai is so powerful here that she trounces both Chun Li and Ryu when she unleashes her full power. Mai also has a new outfit in addition to her famous red costume.
As glimpsed in Mai’s teaser trailer last month, her Fatal Fury stage looks like it got an update for her appearance in this game. Although Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai felt that it was inappropriate to add Mai to Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, she previously made a guest appearance in Namco’s Dead or Alive 6.
