Yasss

 

[Leafhopper]

Sure, but she was super fun to play.

People were tier whoring back then too?

People are always worried about tiers.

could they have possibly made a more "this is embarrassing to play around people" character?

If you are worried about that, you should probably stop playing fighting games in general.

 

[AppleMIX]

This is perfect.

This is how a modern R. Mika should be.

 

[lovely ladies]

Cool detail with the mask falling off.

 

[OmegaSmash]

On the cover of the Capcom Secret File from the arcade version of Alpha 3, Mika is teamed up with a black haired female wrestler named Yamato Nadeshiko (a phrase which actually means the Japanese concept of the "perfect" woman), who works for the same wrestling organization as Mika. She is also sometimes her tag-team partner

This is really damn cool.

 

[Scotia]

Siliconera has Urien, Alex and Karin to return, but isn't there only 2 slots for returning characters ? Since there are 4 new and the total of characters will be 16. If I am not mistaken, R. Mika is the 10th character.

There's three. Before Mika there were two spots in the blue section and with Mika it's probably down to one space and we still have two spaces in the green section. So we still have 3 more returning.

People are always worried about tiers.

Not in my circles. People played who was fun.

 

[HabeeNo]

She looks so fun!

RAANBAAAAA

 

[Acquiescence]

We truly are living in an age of booty.

 

[E_Darkness]

Can we play as her tag partner instead? She looks much better.

 

[Tizoc]

Didn't notice at first that is looks like it her CA goes into a highly modified Kinnikubuster like finish.

Awesome!
Speaking of which, seems they gave her some of SFxT King's moves which included the Kinniku Buster XD

 

[RedAssedApe]

Lol. Stone cold stunner

 

[delSai]

It will be her alt. outfit Technically though you are playing as her tag partner

I would be okay with this.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Looks like Nadeshiko replaces the ring in function. Which is cool.

Also, you get to pull off an RKO, a Piledriver, and a Stunner. C'mon. That's pretty fuckin awesome.

 

[K.Sabot]

Yo those Tag-Team mechanics.

Goodbye chun-li.

 

[TheSpoiler]

By the way, Karin actually funds R. Mika's wrestling career at the end of Alpha 3.

 

[convo]

Y'all can't handle the confidence in one's butt.

God damn those curves don't lie

Wow

 

[Ultimadrago]

I wasn't going to buy SFV until this character was announced. Guaranteed get. ⁽ᴬᶰᵈ ᴵ ᵐᵉᵃᶰ ᶦᵗ ᵘᶰᶫᶦᵏᵉ ᴾᵉʳˢᵒᶰᵃ ᴬʳᵉᶰᵃ ʷʰᵉʳᵉ ᴵ ˢᵃᶦᵈ ᴵ ʷᵒᵘᶫᵈ ᵍᵉᵗ ᶦᵗ ˢᶦᶰᶜᵉ ᴵ ᶜᵒᵘᶫᵈ ᵖᶫᵃʸ ᵃˢ ᶜʰᶦᵉ, ᵇᵘᵗ ᶫᵉᵗ ᶦᵗ ᶠᵃᶫᶫ ᵗᵒ ᵗʰᵉ ʷᵃʸˢᶦᵈᵉ ᵇᵉᶜᵃᵘˢᵉ ᵃᶠᵗᵉʳ ᵃ ʷʰᶦᶫᵉ ᶦᵗ ʷᵃˢ ᶫᶦᵏᵉ "ᵂʰᵃᵗᵉᵛᵉʳ"⁾⋅

 

[toastyToast]

That outfit though. I don't say this often but... what the fuck? At least Cammy's is an ill fitting leotard. What the hell is going on here?

 

[Toxi]

Urien.

Urien butt-to-butt V-art with Gill.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

Alex next!

Yo... don't be playing with my feelings like that :-(

R. Mika is a bit of a crappy design, but I welcome more wrestlers in fighting games! And she has a fun, bubbly personality... perfect foil to boring characters like Ryu.

 

[Leafhopper]

Not in my circles. People played who was fun.

I mean I didn't have to worry about it but yeah.

 

[User 479360]

Holy boobs

 

[mejin]

Nadeshiko's hair are made of stone? They don't move lol

 

[Forkball]

Tag team action!

She's definitely a fan favorite, I'm surprised Capcom waited this long to bring her back. They went full fanservice with the outfit as well.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

And yeah, they actually made her outfit worse looking.

 

[ffdgh]

Welp. Hope for karin and ingrid increased.

 

[LeleSocho]

Poor girl has a weird wrists disease

 

[Sephzilla]

That Stone Cold Stunner sold me

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

Huh. I never got why this character was so popular, but at least it's something different.

Only female wrestler.

 

[Lunar15]

I was hoping they'd tweak her design a bit, but they actually made it worse. Her tag looks great, for example. I love grapplers so I'm really interested in using her. But hey, I guess that's what alts are for.

 

[Zukuu]

LMAO, Best KO.

I love how she points her finger out and yells while running at him. For some reason that's dumb and funny.

 

[Black Lawn]

K Brad has to main her right?

She's white.
She's blonde.
She has a stunner.

LOL That was the first thing I thought of when I saw that she had a stunner. This game has me so hyped right now! I am kinda sad they aren't letting her get her wrestling stage super though.

 

[Boney]

What?

Looks like a Mortal Kombat characters with hips

It's a horrible design, you can make a female wrestler look flashy but not embarrassing like that. After cammy nips I'm not surprised though.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

I wonder if there'll be a Ronda Rousey fighter that's the counter to R.Mika - you know, seeing how popular she is these days

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I love her normal outfit but I can't wait to see what they do with her alt costumes,

 

[KingBroly]

I can't say I'm a fan of the design, or her Cheeky finisher.

 

[Crocodile]

NO FUCKS GIVEN: THE CHARACTER!

Trailer was surprisingly hype. Over the top in the best way. I gotta say I think I like the look of Mika's partner more than Mika herself though.

You never got why an attractive female character with huge tits and a ridiculously revealing outfit was popular among a certain demographic?

If anything, the unapologetic hypersexualisation and male gaze camera in SFV will make her more popular than before.

edit: "it's her moveset and/or wrestling gimmick" is the FGC version of "I'm buying Playboy for the insightful articles".

Yes, everyone who likes her does so ONLY for the sex appeal and there are NO other redeeming qualities whatsoever. You figured it out - everybody who says that is a liar and only you were able to see through their deceit!

I'm not saying sex appeal doesn't factor into her appeal at all but you being all dismissive (hell there have already been people who posted that they don't like her character design but still like her) in this manner is just being jerkish and high horse-ish :/

 

[djplaeskool]

lol. Her V-Skill is to cut a promo.

 

[Alchemist]

Really enjoyed that trailer.

Based Siliconera.

 

[HardRojo]

A good way to leave this world.

 

[Dachande]

Wow, I really didn't think they were going to put her in. Hope for Karin revived!

THE ASSISTS

This is awesome.

 

[Buzzati]

I can't think of any other character that has a design so bad that it's good. Love this character for all the wrong reasons.

 

[Boogalogist]

Amazing! I found my grappler character for SF V now! Really hilarious moves and tag team partner. Nakadashi is her tag team partner name, right?

 

[Haly]

Lmao booty finisher.
