Apologies for the double posting, since we're getting Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui in SF6, I'm curious on what are their move sets will be because they will not be carbon copies of their Capcom Vs. SNK's moves. Obviously, I'm thinking Terry would be similar to his move set when he guest-starred in Fighting EX Layer. Or it can be similar to his upcoming moves from Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, if Nakayama and Matsumoto currently talking and taking notes from the SNK team.

Mai will be the tricky one because she's like Chun-Li over the years: her move set changes drastically in almost every game she appeared on, when it comes down to her specials and supers. I know Chou Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi will be one of her supers but what about the others: Kagero No Mai (which sometimes switches to either a special or a super), Mizudori No Mai, Hou'ou No Mai, Hana Arashi, Gekka Midare Botan... And then we have her Neo Maxes/Super Desperations... which one would Capcom likely will use for her. Or, we may get brand new exclusive Critical Arts for both characters.
Mai doesn't change drastically at every game. She always has her 4 basic moves: Kachou Sen (fan projectile), Ryuu en Bu (fire twist) , Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi (elbow launch) and Musasabi no Mai (air launch). So expect these 4 at least. I would love to see more moves like Kagero no Mai or Hakuro no Mai, but I'm not sure we can expect that. Her DM can vary, that's true, but for certain she will have her Chou Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi. What reamins to be seen is how much they will be close to FF City of Wolvs encarnations, since this crossover is happening because the new FF will be released at early 2025 (same time as Mai in SF6). I guess it would make sense they use moves they have in City of Wolves (assuming that Mai is in it), like Mai had her super and her dress from KOFXIV in DOA6. And talking about dresses, I'm really curious about her outfit design in the trailer. Is this her new FF outfit, or is just a design SF6 did for her?

It's an updated version of her Real Bout Fatal Fury Special/2 outfit, mixed with the pattern from her current KOF outfit. Note that she doesn't wear her tabi socks.

Yowie wowie. With no DOA announcement yet what else can I do but go back to Terry in SFVI and City of the Wolves? Great time to be a fan of the franchise.
