Street Fighter 5 Announced: PC and PS4 Only With Cross Play!

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

R. Mika is here!



Update: A trailer, images, information about R. Mika and her V-Skill and V-Trigger have been added to this story.

The latest character for Street Fighter 5 has been officially unveiled, and it's the enthusiastic wrestlerette of Street Fighter Alpha 3 fame, R. Mika.

This falls in line with statements made by Ono earlier this week, saying that he finally got his wish.

R. Mika joins fellow Alpha series alumni Charlie Nash and Birdie in being revitialized for Street Fighter.

It was also reported by Capcom that R. Mika will be available for attendees at this weekend's PAX Prime to play at their booth. Further, they elaborated on the character, her story, her place in the game and her playstyle in this blurb you can find below.

As an aspiring young wrestler, Mika dreamed of one day becoming a star in the ring, much like her idol Zangief. Training under the strict tutelage of her coach, she traveled the world engaging in random matches with street fighters in order to spread her name and popularity. R. Mika’s wrestling prowess will be on full display in Street Fighter V, as she dazzles opponents with a wide variety of high-flying moves.

This time around, her wrestling tag-team partner Nadeshiko assists in the fight! By calling Nadeshiko at the right time using R. Mika’s V-Trigger ability, players will be able to set up sneaky attacks and punishing command grab mix-ups that are sure to deliver devastating amounts of damage. Players who enjoy putting on a stunning display of fear-inducing close-combat guessing games will find R. Mika a colorful and rewarding way to play.

Further, a blog post over at Capcom Unity gave more insight into R. Mika's V-Skill and V-Trigger in the game.

V-Skill: R. Mika's V-Skill, Mic Performance, has R. Mika start a monologue to pump up the crowd. The longer this continues, the stronger her throws become, both normal and special. While doing the monologue, she has armor for one hit, and the speech is cancellable at any time by letting go of the button, at which point R. Mika will throw her mic at the opponent.

V-Trigger: Her V-Trigge brings her partner, Nadeshiko, into the ring, and has different variations available for use. Depending on the direction you hold, Nadeshiko will attack R. Mika's opponent with a different move. Neutral gives a body splash from above, holding back causes her to launch a dropkick from the front and holding forward brings a dropkick from behind. This makes the guessing game all the more dangerous for the opponent, and helps R. Mika set up her command throws more safely.

Same outfit, but her ass is even juicer lmfao. Feminazi's just got BTFO!!! I'm dying, literally!

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Lol they're not even ashamed of showing it. Nice. I never thought her outfit was a big deal compared to some of the others lol.

This is the early version of her too, imagine when they tweak her up like they did Cammy.

[JACK-2]

Nope, she even smacked her ass lol!

It's like they took all the complaints, put it in a pile and took a huge dump on it!

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

I'm so maining her. The first character that looks interesting to me. The rest look more boring to me.

Hopefully they keep this trend for the other female characters. Hot!

The butt super is great!

[JACK-2]

They will! Next is Karin and Sakura!

Dat butt is so God like. Firts Chun's boobs jiggle and now this. This is why I love Japan. They give a dude exactly what he wants.

[JACK-2]

I'm gonna go to gamefaqs and bring something back. I can't wait to see those mangina's crying.

Not to mention Cammy. They've learned from DoA lol.

Btw did you see that new DoA game? They've given their females bigger asses too.

[JACK-2]

Really?!

I remember noticing the faces got alot cuter and more detailed. I didn't notice the asses. Girls in gaming just keep getting hotter on that side of the pacific. I'm normally not a graphics whore, but for this it's worth it. Capcom was in a rough spot but I feel they're slowly getting out of it. Still not 100%, but way better than the dark ages of 09.

I posted a picture of Kasumi in the DoA thread. She has a MUCH better ass than they used to have back in the day.

I'm glad Capcom didn't go the MK route. These haters are out in full force though.

[JACK-2]

I knew they wouldn't. There's no way they would do the man-face ala MK in SF. These haters are dumb, according to them ugly women = realism. Whatever, now all I want is Karin and Maki. They can cry till the cow comes home, but they won't change shit. It was the same crap they pulled when DOA and Senran Kagura came out.

[WarMachineRhodey]

I wasn't expecting r.mika to make the cut but its cool shes in the game.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

R. Mika was discussed quite a bit over the years and she's Ono's favorite. Her playstyle looks more fresh to me than the other characters. Hopefully they keep going in this direction.

I'm thinking about doing a PC pre order now.

Well not only do the faces look better, but look at MK. The girls have man hips and everything in MKX. MK9 looked much better.

[JACK-2]

Man hips, Man jaw lines, no breast, no femininity, etc.

The bolded is interesting because characters like Chun-li and Cammy are much more muscular than many MK females. But, they still feel more feminine in comparison. Chun-li: Cry's when she's beaten and Cammy wear's skirts and smiles. Meanwhile Sonya looks like Bruce Jenner now.

That's what's also bad. Female characters who are supposed to be world class fighters are so skinny and twig like. It's not even "realistic" anyways. SF girls are more muscular but have better bodies and look more feminine. They look better while being hot and having personality.

MK girls just come off as bitchy, especially Sonya.

[JACK-2]

Where'd you get that gif?!


Edit: What's sad is that Sonya used to be hot back in the days. Until they manified her.

Great isn't it?





Also did you know Sonya's actress in MK3 was a Playboy model?

[JACK-2]

Yeah, I remember. That's way before all the PC crap took over video games.

[Great Dark Hero]

... Damn...
That was... A LOT sooner than I expected. And, C-Master's one of the VERY first individuals made the call as soon as Ono stated that his "wish was granted" (I might be paraphrasing a tad but that's more less the consensus of Ono's situation).
Which is fine by me. PERFECTLY fine. I had to emphasize that because, I am maining Rainbow Mika, along with several others... well, let's just say that R. Mika is top priority.

SPOILER: Click to show

BTW SJW's can kiss dat ass.

Yea, she's the ONLY character that interests me at the moment in the roster. The rest outside of Birdie seem like the same old. She took some skill to use and my tastes have changed since the 90's. I played a lot of characters then too but I like more unique ones and R. Mika definitely has the most unique and fun playstyle in Sf IMO. She just looks fun.

That crap got out control since Obama I swear. We used to have a hint of it, but now it's over the top and annoying. I'll post some of the quotes. Even Srk which is anti that stuff has morons complaining.

[JACK-2]

Post em'. I need a laugh.

[Great Dark Hero]

Check this out! A character breakdown. Shoutouts to Vesper!

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

1."Japanese developers are such demeaning pervs. Can they not make a game without what they call, "fan service?" I have never seen a full anime movie or episode that didn't either. It would seem having sex with an underage object is their reason for being. The west can be bad at times, but they have nothing on the Japanese."


2. "3 females so far and each successive one more scantily clad than the other. Mika's ass and tits exposure are just ridiculous, especially following Chun's tits and Cammy's ass. I'll echo what I said earlier in the thread again, but it really would be nice to get a more serious female that isn't intended to appeal to a horny male audience."

3. "It's Japan", what's that supposed to mean? Are you trying to say that because SF is Japanese that means we should give them a pass for portraying females this way? Or give them a pass for not trying to be more creative, bold, and pioneering with their female character designs? Or that Japanese are perverts and we should accept them for who they are? SF is a game that is marketed to the world, and the majority of the sales will be from the rest of the world. Capcom US also carries a considerable amount of the SF burden than before. "It's Japan" just doesn't cut it.

4. Mika comes off as an escort fantasy than a "female wrestler." If female wrestlers spank their bare ass suggestively and then tag team people with another busty "female wrestler" smothering them with their rump, that's called a "porno."

For the record, Guilty Gear is a Japanese game, and so is KOF and there are a fuck ton of non-paper cutout females there with developed personalities that do not rely on their vagina to make you like them."

Fast breakdown.

[Great Dark Hero]

I wonder if we could combo into her command grabs out from her normal moves... kind like KOF.
I doubt it but it would be pretty unique if that were to happen. Based on what I am seeing, I'm actually dropping both Nash and Cammy... A character like Rainbow Mika is too good for someone like me to look over.
And, what's with the sudden barrage of anger towards her outfit...?
This is not the 90's anymore so I don't understand why people are acting so... shocked about it. Plus...
Look at her. What do these people expect from a... Professional Wrestler...?

My guess is that the hits into grabs are just actual moves. I'm not sure they'll have a Kof grab system. That said without crouch teching it looks like grabs will be all the more powerful.

I was going to go with Cammy because she seemed the most tolerable out of a plain lot, but R. Mika is fun and looks great.

I find R. Mika's outfit to be tame compared to Cammy's and even Chun's, and hell even Sakura's. Wrestling is more raunchy than what R. Mika is doing. It's a joke at best to me. People are just biased and like to whine. She actually makes sense. Cammy just happens to like showing off her ass despite being a cold assassin.



Slow Motion!

[JACK-2]

I honestly think Capcom added the ass smack to rub salt on the wound. What's great about this is they can cry until the cows come home. Capcom like most Japanese companies will never listen to this sjw garbage.

Perhaps. It also works really well with the wrestling anyways. R. Mika was always about the ass.

Why would they listen to it? They have their won culture. We don't pay attention to theirs.

There's your complaining.

This is THE one leak that I've gotten legitimately excited for.
Here is something for a little more emphasis.
