Hopefully you got your calendars checked for February 5th, cause Mai is bouncing her way into Street Fighter 6 that month. And that’s not me being a misogynist and making a reference to her HUGE tits out of nowhere. The official Playstation Youtube page referenced to her coming into the game as “bounce”, so they started it.
Now before you start drooling and picking your mouth from off the floor, before this trailer was released, there was another trailer. The first Mai reveal trailer might leave you with a different impression, like it did many other people.
When Mai model was first shown off for Street Fighter 6, many thought she looked off, but with the new trailer, people are changing their tone. It’s almost like when Terry was first shown off. Many wrote him off as ugly, but when gameplay came out, many warmed up to him.
But, some still see this Mai as a downgrade compared to Mai’s other game inclusions.
So if I’m going to be honest, I think Mai from The King of Fighters XIV is the ugliest. Like, she’s your character, how are you going to let Capcom do your character better. And the Dead or Alive Mai is hot, don't get me wrong, but I feel like she kind of gives off that generic sexy Japanese woman look that most of the DOA girls give off. Pretty much staying safe, and not doing anything different with it. Mai in Street Fighter 6 looks like her own character and model, and looks completely different from the other girls on the roster.
I feel like the team over at Capcom did a great job with Mai. No need to complain about her being DEI or censored, she’s just Mai in their art style. So I hope everyone just stays chill, and not overreact over this like they do everything else.
