It’s been a good stretch of time without any fresh character updates for Street Fighter 6, but today’s the day that changes! In just a few short hours, we’re going to catch our first look at Mai’s gameplay trailer. This long-awaited reveal should finally shed some light on how she’ll fit into Capcom’s iconic fighting game.
Announced last June, Mai isn’t a native Street Fighter brawler. She’s making her debut as a guest character from the Fatal Fury series, trailing behind Terry Bogard in the journey between these legendary IPs.
Although we’ve known Mai’s arrival was imminent, we’re still in the dark about her fighting style in Street Fighter 6. Fans are eager to see if she’ll bring some classic maneuvers from King of Fighters, but considering Street Fighter 6’s unique features like the drive gauge, there’s a chance she might showcase some new skills, or perhaps some nostalgic moves reimagined in a stunning new way, much like Terry did.
The wait isn’t long now—the trailer will drop on Capcom’s channels at 3 PM PT/6 PM ET/12 AM UTC. Make sure you’re tuned into Twitter and YouTube to catch it live, or you can simply watch it below.
Amidst all this excitement, it’s worth noting the community’s growing desire for more content updates in Street Fighter 6. Although battle pass updates seem consistent, new character releases and major alternate costumes have been noticeably infrequent, stirring frustration among players.
So, with all this in mind, what’s your take on Mai’s gameplay reveal today? Are you pumped? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
