Fans React to Mai Shiranui’s Exclusion From Super Smash Bros. Ultimate With Memes
Earlier this week, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate producer Masahiro Sakurai revealed more details about the newest DLC fighter: Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury. One of the most talked-about segments in the video presentation, however, was Sakurai pointing out specifically that SNK’s Mai Shiranui would not be making a cameo as part of Terry’s DLC – because she was too mature-looking for its family-friendly rating.
As with all things Smash-related, fans quickly jumped aboard with memes of all shapes and sizes about Mai’s absence. Some poked fun at the apparent irony of Bayonetta being in Smash already, while others depicted Mai’s dejection at not making it into Smash. One Twitter user even resurrected an older edit of Mai Shiranui wearing sporty black tights – similar to Mythra’s altered costume in Smash!
