So... Mai Shiranui's gameplay trailer for Streetfighter 6 came out, and I think everyone is pretty impressed by what is showed. For starters, I think the SF6 devs certainly quashed all the complaints about Mai's face- she looks amazing, right now at least looking on par with the other females in the game. I'd go as far as saying she is the best-looking Mai ever. Definitely even with just her facial expressions- her 'Shinkiro' smile in her Nippon Ichi win pose is the most expressive she's ever been (her DOA versions could never manage that wide a smile) and with all the closeups they showed of her face, we can see the devs are VERY confident in how she looks.

As for gameplay- she's gotten a new mechanic where she can buff her fan tosses/projectiles and uppercut with fire after using her Kagerou No Mai super, which is spectacular to see in-game. She is literally on fire! Aside from that, she has all the familiar moves in her long-running arsenal, from aerial dives to air throws and all the big buttons. She looks a lot stronger than even Terry Bogard.

So all that is great, but now I am also hoping her KO pose is good, though whether it is or not is not that big a deal since we have a Poser. Her default Real Bout outfit is great, even though I expect sexy mods are going to be very nice to have. I hope fully-barefoot Mai mods will show up, using her actual feet models that are nicely seen throughout.

I am quite excited now, and even better, we don't have that long to wait with Mai's February 5 release date. She's on her way and I couldn't be happier. I foresee lots of sexy SF6 action and KOs once the Sexy Kunoichi arrives.
