Street Fighter 6: Mai Shiranui Guide

Street Fighter 6's Mai Shiranui: A Comprehensive Guide to Mastering the Ninja

Mai Shiranui, the second guest character in Street Fighter 6, brings her signature Shiranui-style ninja arts to the game. Her moveset blends elements from various iterations of the character, creating a fun yet challenging experience. This guide will help you unlock her full potential.

Mai is surprisingly beginner-friendly, boasting strong normal attacks for pressure and devastating combos with excellent corner carry potential. However, mastering her "Fire" stocks from her Kagerou no Mai Super Art adds a layer of complexity. These stocks enhance her special attacks, but require careful resource management. Even without Fire stocks, Mai remains a strong character, effective at various ranges.

Her projectiles control spacing and tempo, allowing for swift close-range mix-ups. Combined with her excellent normals, this creates intense pressure and high damage output.
