So, wait, wasn’t Mr. Big after all?
SNK has had a series for a few weeks now, revealing new characters for The King of Fighters 15, but they have finally returned to giving fans a closer look at a pillar of the series that will surely make them happy people.
Because I’m sure everyone has already guessed from the figure this morning, Mai Shiranui is the latest character to receive the full game trailer.
Like most of the returning cast, Mai players will likely feel at home in KOF15, with most of her moves and specialties appearing to work the same as in the last entry – only with a new graphical review.
Many have assumed that Mai will be the last member of the Women Fighters team, but since there was no confirmation at the end of the trailer, as was the case with Hero, Fatal Fury and Sacred Treasures, this probably means that the original group is not bringing back the band together in the end.
In May, King and Yuri formed the first women’s team until ’94, although they would appear fighting together several times only with their last arrival in KOF13.
The Women Fighters team was among those in the series with the most changes between entries. While Mai and King have consistently remained consistent members over the years, Yuri has returned to the Art of Fighting team, which has opened the door to other members in the past, including Blue Mary, May Lee Jinju, Kasumi Todoh. , Hinako Shijou, Alice Nakata and Li Xiangfei.

With King and Mai being the most consistent members over the years, the apparent discrepancy probably means that Yuri is much more likely to be back in Team Art of Fighting with the potential Ryo and Robert – although none of them have been confirmed at this time.
This also opens the door for previous members to join the ranks again, or maybe SNK will follow the veteran matching model with a rookie rookie, as we just saw in KOF14.
He was also one of the characters presented in the trailer of the initial announcement for KOF15, where K ‘and Leona remain as the only fighters who have not yet caught their attention.
