Street Fighter 6’s “Say Hello to Mai!” Fighting Pass celebrates Mai’s arrival in style

As is the custom now in Street Fighter 6, the introduction of a new playable character is often accompanied or preceded by an associated Fighting Pass. Mai Shiranui is no different, as her arrival will be celebrated by the “Say Hello to Mai!” Fighting Pass: 

The main highlight of the Fighting Pass is without a doubt Mai’s iconic red and white kunoichi dress, which is broken into five different cosmetics for the player character to wear regardless of their gender. Mai’s Kachō Sen (butterfly fan) isn’t available as a traditional cosmetic, but it is part of an emote that has the player dancing with the fan in hand. 

There are other Mai-themed rewards in the premium Fighting Pass, including music from Fatal Fury 2 and Fatal Fury Special. Specifically, the unlockable tracks are Flame Dragon God (Nippon Stage II) Mai Shiranui, Let’s Go to Seoul! (Korea Stage) Kim, and Duck Dub Dub [Duck, You Too] (America Stage III) Duck King. Three Mai-themed titles can also be unlocked and equipped to show your love for the Shiranui kunoichi. The stickers in the premium Fighting Pass aren’t a direct reference to Mai, but they do feature fellow Fatal Fury/ King of Fighters characters like Rock Howard, B. Jenet, and Terry Bogard.  

The remaining rewards in the premium Fighting Pass include a new challenger screen effect, a photo frame, and the classic 1989 hack-and-slash title Strider, the last of which can be played from Street Fighter 6’s Game Center. Those who prefer not to purchase the premium “Say Hello to Mai!” Fighting Pass will still be able to unlock free rewards which have yet to be disclosed. 

With so much content planned for the Mai update, players old and new have more than enough reasons to get into Street Fighter 6 when February 5 comes around.  

Mai Shiranui arrives on February 5 in Street Fighter 6, which is available for PC (Steam), PS4/PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
