SF6 Mai Feet Fumble and Fixes...

Added 2025-02-11 04:06:02 +0000 UTC

Hey, Everyone! Are you all enjoying the latest Streetfighter 6 debutante, Mai Shiranui? I am sure we're all happy with her, both in looks and gameplay. Really, its all in the details though that we have to make sure all is right.

Now, I am sure you all noticed that Mai's feet in her C1 'Real Bout' costume actually have toe animations- her toes DO move depending on some kicks, for closeups and special actions such as her dancing in the teaser trailer. In fact, in the pic above, you can see her toes arching (btw, I didn't pose her toes there, I just places her foot on Manon's face for this scene). This is really nice, and its great to see the work they put into Mai's sexy feet- I mean, they got the barefoot version of Mai, they'd better make sure her feet look and move great.

That said, the recent barefoot mods so far available lack these animations. This is due to how most of them use the feet models from the Casual Outfit AKA The Character Select Costume. While the feet model is complete there, they lack the toe rigging/moveable bones.

We'll do our best to get modders to use the proper, poseable toes in their mods. This entails a bit more work, but at least one modder has promised to do this- hopefully this will eventually trickle down to most, if not all future barefoot Mai mods. Not only for poses, but it just looks so much better to see Mai's feet being more animated and expressive in-game. It's the little things, as the saying goes- in this case, little things mean's cute ninja toes.

Anyway, just to inform you all of things happening behind the scenes. I'll trying my best to get the best barefoot Mai mods for us all to enjoy, so stay tuned for more ninja girl goodness in the near future.
