It’s quite evident that everyone adores Mai Shiranui, as evidenced by Street Fighter 6 appearing among the top-selling games on Steam following the release of the SNK guest character on February 4.
Once again, Capcom’s fighting game has found its place among the top 10 best-selling titles. Given that Street Fighter 6 came out in June 2023, and it managed to climb up the Steam charts, it demonstrates just how much players are enjoying the new character, Mai.
Her fame reached such heights that her game simultaneously had 63,000 active users on Steam. This number is merely 7,000 shy of its all-time peak of 70,000, as indicated by SteamDB.
Injecting freshness into a fighting game is often achieved through crossovers, and Street Fighter 6 takes an innovative approach by introducing third-party characters for the first time in the series – specifically, Terry Bogard and Mai.
To many traditionalists, it’s a sorrowful turn of events. Given that Capcom boasts numerous series centered around collaborations – such as Marvel vs Capcom, Capcom vs SNK, and Tatsunoko vs Capcom, which all have dedicated fanbases – this change might be met with regret.
Yet, it seems undeniable that the allure and profitability brought by guest characters, particularly a beloved one like Mai Shiranui, makes her more suitable for inclusion compared to traditional Street Fighter characters.
In the forthcoming future, you can expect SNK and Capcom characters to engage in more fights. The revival of Fatal Fury: City of Wolves will introduce Ken Masters and Chun-Li as special guests for the initial season of SNK’s game, which is scheduled for release in April 2025.
As a gaming enthusiast diving into the world of fighting games, you won’t want to miss out on Street Fighter 6. I played it last year and can confidently say it’s one of the best choices available. In my personal opinion, its dynamic gameplay mechanics and rich single-player content make it an ideal starting point for both newcomers and seasoned fighters alike.
If you’re having a great time with the game and its features, consider exploring where to locate Mai in the World Tour. You’ll have an opportunity to obtain her second outfit without any extra cost!
