Mai debuts in Street Fighter 6

As the second-ever guest character in Street Fighter history, players can bring a new flavor to battles with Mai’s look and movelist inspired by a variety of SNK classics that are now intertwined with the Street Fighter 6 universe. Check out Mai across all three game modes, including fighting fierce battles in Fighting Ground, discovering Mai as the newest Master in World Tour, and using Mai’s iconic moves in avatar battles in Battle Hub!

Players who own the Year 2 Character Pass or Ultimate Pass can jump into the fight with Mai right away, or she can be purchased separately with Fighter Coins. The dazzling heroine also comes with two Outfits. Outfit 1 is reminiscent of her classic style across the Fatal Fury series while Outfit 2 is based on her newest look in SNK’s upcoming Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. Outfit 2 can be acquired via Fighter Coins or maxing out your bond with Mai in World Tour.

Additional updates coming alongside the Mai update include:

• Professor Woshige V-Rival: The famous FGC competitor (“Woshige noooo!! What are you standing up for?!”) and now Street Fighter 6 Battle Director Woshige has arrived as a special guest V-Rival in the Battle Hub! Challenge the legendary Woshige himself with Luke, Cammy, and Akuma to receive a special emote and challenger screen illustration!

• New Master League Ranks & Rewards: Master League, where the best of the best fight it out, is getting a trio of changes, including:
o New ranks of High Master, Grand Master, and Ultimate Master
o Master Phase Rewards where players can earn rewards by playing Ranked Matches with characters they’ve achieved Master rank with.
o Master Rate at the beginning of each new Phase will now be determined per player based on the previous Phase’s Master Rate, meaning matchmaking with opponents of similar strength will be easier right from the start of the Phase.

• Quality-of-Life Updates: Multiple quality-of-life updates will be introduced, including:
o New replay features like the ability to watch replays from the most recent Match Result screen in Ranked or Casual matches, ability to pause and use the menu even during round calls or after a KO, and more.
o New World Tour updates like checking all Masters’ information right away in the Master Section of the Status menu, plus hints for “when/where to find” and “how to enroll” with Masters regardless of if you have met them.
o New Local Tournament Mode Settings like the ability to set the intro/outro screen to not be skippable, Automatic Random Stages, Pause Menu on Long Hold and more!
o Match Restore added to Custom Rooms so that when a fight is interrupted mid-match, players can resume the fight by restarting at the start of the round when the disconnection occurred.
