If you’ve read any of the other waifu pieces I have done here on Rice, you can probably pinpoint my exact type when it comes to women of the animated variety, and they rarely don’t emit some kind of mature MILF-energy.
#The king of fighters xv mai series
My first encounter with the The King of Fighters series was back in July of 2010 with the release of King of Fighters XIII, one of the most stunning sprite art games I have ever seen, and my first contact with a character I would rapidly fall in love with. I’ll get it out of the way straight away and say that, like with most people, Mai’s appeal to me was immediate thanks to her character design. The developers changed their minds and decided to add an “idol-like” character to the cast and change the design of one of their new male ninja characters to that of a Japanese female assassin, otherwise known as a kunoichi - and so, after one of the greatest decisions ever made in the games industry happened, Mai Shiranui was born. Mai was originally not intended to be included in Fatal Fury 2 instead, her spot was going to be taken by another male character. Kunoichi were female ninjas, but their focus was on incorporating sex appeal and the art of seduction into their outfits to help them in catching their prey off-guard before striking.Ī quick history lesson on our lovely lady here. It’s very easy to understand why so many people love Mai Shiranui when it comes to the initial appeal (I understand there are two main elements – Ed.), but believe it or not, there is some sense behind her rather scantily clad look, and that’s her background of being a kunoichi.

Mai Shiranui is immediately recognisable thanks to her iconic appearance and lovable personality - and, even better, she’s really fun to play as in the various The King of Fighters games.
