Fatal Fury character Mai Shiranui has been around since 1992, and she just recently made her debut in Street Fighter VI as a DLC character.
One common trait that Mai has had over the years is that she always has gigantic breasts, but modder Lilotty took a look at the character model and thought, “She doesn’t need all that.”
Flat Mai in Street Fighter VI
A recently uploaded mod on NexusMods called ‘Flat Mai’ has been spotted, and it does exactly what fans would expect—it flattens down Mai’s breast to a more comfortable size which would make it easier for her to fight (realistically).
Throughout her run as a fighting game character, Mai has always been portrayed as having large breasts, and to add to that, her kunoichi uniform also reveals that she doesn’t wear a bra. Ever since she debuted in 1992, players have been subject to Mai’s more jiggly bits while she takes out enemy fighters with her ninja skills.
Ever since Mai debuted in Street Fighter VI, there have been several posts ‘gooning’ over Mai, and several videos and photos of her have been coming out online.
Fan Outrage (?)
Naturally, the ‘Flat Mai’ mod made its way to the online community, and they’ve been posting about how they must stop Lilotty from ‘ever cooking again.’ Check out this post:
In the comments, some have been joking about getting the mod banned, but it has also devolved into a discussion where people would argue that flat chests are still attractive (i.e., “Flat is Justice”).
The thread also has a lot of fan art ‘celebrating’ Mai’s huge chest, and some posts that sound like they’re taking the mod too personally. Either way, nobody is forcing anyone to install this mod, and it does save from how distracting Mai can get during a battle, which could undoubtedly be part of her character design.
Who Else is Coming to the Game?
Elena is the third-to-the-last DLC character coming with Year 2 of Street Fighter VI, and the next incoming character is the original Street Fighter character, Elena.
Originally introduced in Street Fighter III: A New Generation, Elena was made to be a Capoeira fighter who was also African royalty. Her signature look includes her dark skin and bleach-white hair, plus her ridiculous height allowed for some incredible reach.
Based on her look in the teaser though, it does seem like Capcom has given her something more conservative to wear, but seeing as how Mai was still overtly sexualized when she was released, it’s possible that Elena could come with her signature white bikini and beaded jewellery.
If not, players can always just expect mods to have their back and add that to the game themselves. At least Capcom seems to be fine with it, unlike some companies that actively ban mods and kick out players that use them.
Mai Shiranui is now available for Street Fighter VI which is playable for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 4|5.
