Street Fighter 6 greets Mai: Fighting Pass to show your Fatal Fury

BBG News

In an exciting twist, our latest addition to the SF6 DLC roster hails from an alternate dimension. Let me introduce you to Mai – the newest member of our Fighting Pass season, and boy, do we have some fantastic goodies in store for you!

Mai Shiranui is one of the second characters from the Fatal Fury series to be included in Street Fighter 6, a significant event that has garnered excitement across the entire fighting game community (FGC). This marks the initial time that the iconic Street Fighter franchise has incorporated collaboration characters into its primary series.

Just as Terry Bogard is honored in Street Fighter 6 with a unique Fighting Pass, let’s explore the goodies it provides for gamers. Here are some of the top prizes you can expect this season.

Say hello to Mai: SF6 Fighting Pass details

In the ongoing sequence of monthly events for Street Fighter 6, we’re now in the “Fighting Pass Season.” The character “Say Hello to Mai” is currently available, starting from February 5 and ending on February 26. This character was introduced alongside the update for Street Fighter 6 that also incorporated Mai into the game.

  • The Street Fighter 6 Fighting Pass Say Hello to Mai has Free and Premium tiers.
  • The Premium tiers cost 250 Fighter Coins, and you get them back after reaching tier 30. The cost of 250 FC in one package is $6.99.

Street Fighter 6 Mai update

Alongside the new DLC character, Street Fighter 6 got some fresh content.

  • SF6 Mai Arcade story
  • Character guide and combo trials for the new character
  • A time-limited V-Rivals: Professor Woshige’s Luke, Cammy, and Akuma

Although major balance adjustments, similar to those seen during the SF6 update on Dec 2, 2024, weren’t implemented, the developers have instead focused on enhancing the user experience with numerous quality-of-life improvements. These changes are outlined in the Street Fighter 6 Patch Notes for the Mai update. The maintenance for SF6 has now concluded, allowing you to examine these alterations firsthand within the game itself.

The best items in the Say Hello to Mai SF6 Fighting Pass

Maid Shiranui stands out as truly legendary! Her approach is impeccable, encompassing not only powerful moves but also an eye-catching aesthetic. For Street Fighter 6 enthusiasts, having cosmetic items inspired by her is a unique delight.

Here are the best items you can win via the Street Fighter 6 Fighting Pass Say Hello to Mai.

Fatal Fury music

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but feel a thrill knowing that the iconic tunes from Fatal Fury Special, 1993, such as those epic battle themes, are now integrated into the new Street Fighter 6. While you can find them on various streaming platforms, there’s an undeniable charm in experiencing these nostalgic tracks within this fresh, new gaming environment. It’s like a dream come true for retro-gamers like myself!

  • Flame Dragon God (Nippon Stage II) Mai Shiranui — Tier 5, Premium
  • Let’s Go to Seoul! (Korea Stage) Kim — Tier 11, Premium
  • Duck Dub Dub [Duck, You Too] (America Stage III) Duck King — Tier 17, Premium

Awesome visuals: backgrounds and photo frames

Capturing stunning images in SF6 is a delightful experience, and it becomes even more exhilarating when you incorporate thematic borders into your photos. Two fresh options are now accessible through the Say Hello to Mai SF6 Fighting Pass.

  • How to Play — in the style of classic arcades, Tier 7, Premium
  • Mai Love — with Mai and her hot flames, Tier 8, Premium

Among our visual options, you’ll find a gaming device backdrop inspired by the game Garou: Mark of the Wolves, which is significant as it was the last installment in the Fatal Fury series before a 25-year hiatus and subsequent revival with City of the Wolves. This particular background serves as a free reward at Tier 5.

New titles

One delightful aspect of these titles is that they’re visible to everyone, allowing your adversaries to admire your flair (as well as your Fighting Pass accomplishments). These titles boast captivating backdrops.

  • Fascinating Kunoichi — a fragment of a battle scene, Tier 8, Free
  • Burning Desire, Burning Discipline — a pixelated Mai image, Tier 12, Free
  • Best Kunoichi in Japan — a set of colorful dance fans, Lvl. 20, Premium

Mai’s costume and actions for Street Fighter 6 avatars

You’ll have the opportunity to don Mai Shiranui’s traditional attire on your SF6 characters, should you acquire its components through the Fighting Pass.

  • Dress — Tier 2, Premium
  • Obi (the tail-like part of Mai’s costume) — Tier 6, Premium
  • Gloves — Tier 10, Premium
  • Tabi (footwear) — Tier 14, Premium
  • Hair Ornament — Tier 19, Premium
  • Kunoichi Fan to wear on the back — Tier 20, Free

Beyond that, your Street Fighter 6 character will also acquire two special moves, akin to Mai Shiranui’s style. These moves showcase the elegance of her fan-dancing.

  • Japanese Dance — Tier 12, Premium
  • Best in Japan! — Tier 16, Free

With a Fighting Pass, you’ll unlock additional perks such as emotional chat emojis for self-expression and the thrilling hack-and-slash game Strider, ready to be played within the Battle Hub.

In the Street Fighter 6 Year 2 Character Pass, Mai is one of the characters included, along with the newly introduced fighter Elena who will make her debut in the spring of 2025. This could potentially occur immediately following the competitions of Capcom Cup 11.
