That's what it is that's making the costume look fucked:

They got rid of the tube-top that goes underneath the blue parts. So now she's just basically wearing a variation of a Borat costume that happens to have a half-bib sewed into it.

 

[Leafhopper]

Congrats, Gemi and R. Mika fans! After shitload of bashes, we won with Rainbow Mika's inclusion!



Let me remind you who.

Lmao.

 

[LiK]

so R. Mika vs Cammy will just be booty matches.

 

[Tizoc]

Hah
They did alter her outfit

 

[CountAntonius]

I wanna be Ultra'd.

 

[Astarte]

Her super is a stinkface, which is totally a part of wrestling

Vince with the finisher

 

[RMI]

Not feeling that costume, but her moves look pretty rad.

 

[Toxi]

Not really. They removed proximity normals (which I've always thought of as too much in a fighter anyway) and FADC shit, along with crouch tech, harder links, and a few other minor things.

But they added V-Skills (adding a whole new gameplan to every single character, like Ryu getting a parry), V-Trigger (once again, adding a whole new gameplan to every single character and making a whole new meter management a thing), crush counter, V-Reversal (more defensive options), and easier links.

If anything, the variation between characters is at an all time high. You might not see crazy ass things like in Ultra because the dumb shit is getting removed. No more get out of jail free cards. Fundamentals are going to carry you farther.

Wow, this is huge. Not sure how to react. I enjoyed actually learning the ranges for my normals and the expanded moveset provided, but I admit it goes against the whole "consistent actions for commands" that is at the core of good game design.

At least it means I'm less likely to drop combos like I do in Xrd LOL

Also thank Christ FADC is gone. My fingers seriously couldn't handle it, even when I got the hang of other tough stuff.

 

[JazzmanZ]

Don't trust any leak with R.Mika eh?

 

[captmcblack]

AWWWW YEAH.

Let me get some Alex and Sean next plz, and I can forgive a lack of Blanka.

 

[Geminosity]

Now I finally have a reason to sign up for the betas XD

If only i was going to PAX. I envy the people who'll be playing her but devouring every bit of footage. I'm going to learn the heck out of this character and buy some bags of skittles to take to my fighting nights as consolation prizes for anyone who tastes the rainbow

 

[gogogow]

Looks good. Really like the SFV models.

 

[direct_quote]

Guess that means Karin for TGS?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I'm sad she lost her boob hearts

But I'm so happy about this. Super fun character to play

Fundamentals will carry you MUCH further because there is less complexity. The get out of jail FADC might have been bad game design from a fighter's perspective, but it added a layer of complexity to combos, to the mental metagame, and to the execution (for worse, in my opinion). Removing FADC is a good idea - the get out of jail shoryus highlighted meter because risk and reward change so significantly. It was not a good idea to leverage the meter in that way, but it added to the complexity of the meta.

But I love what SFV does. I appreciate that it is more barebones.

 

[Gbraga]

They couldn't give her a less terrible design? Looks fun to play, but she is visually a mess.

Gotta sell those alt costumes.

I'll buy them all.

 

[Monochromaticx]

she has a cool move set.

 

[Fmal]

I'm super stoked we're getting these weirdo Alpha characters because I like things that are new and I like seeing nerds get mad.

 

[mnz]

So her V-Trigger is the assist, but what's happening at 48s in the trailer then? Looks like V-Trigger activation to me. Can she hold an assist for a while?

 

[DryEyeRelief]

I don't think she transitions well into the claymation style of SFV.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Don't trust any leak with R.Mika eh?

Crow cookin!

 

[Stone Ocean]

AWWWW YEAH.

Let me get some Alex and Sean next plz, and I can forgive a lack of Blanka.

Very high chances of Alex now

 

[SolidSnakex]

Guess that means Karin for TGS?

Karin for TGS, then Urien for the PSX conference, and Alex for the pre-finals Capcom Cup reveal.

 

[TheSpoiler]

It works way better in XRD than SF4 IMO. PN were great to see, but once the game started you had to worry about a million different times of normals and it was as useless as remembering a whole Tekken movelist.

That being said I believe all characters have a few, it's just not every single normal anymore.

I see what you mean since you could do so much off of FADC. But all of this V stuff is leading to some very, very heavy meta games and good ol' yomi. Ah, maybe it is less is more right now.

 

[MAtgS]

So who's the tag partner?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Her body doesn't make any sense.
She's like a Play-Doh person, and it looks like she's got an extra, giant boob on her back.

? looks like strong lats.

 

[threelights]

Those tag moves look amazing!

Definitely my favorite character so far.

 

[SSnake]

So if the leak is right, last 6 would be

Urien
Karin
Alex
New
New
New

No Juri at launch. Guess I'll try Mika.

 

[entremet]

This really is Blonde Fighter V lol.

Especially if Alex and Karin come back.

 

[SoundPulse]

I actually like this design a lot more than her original design.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Very high chances of Alex now

I really hope we get Alex. Just to increase the chances of a Jazzy NYC remix in SFV.

 

[Stone Ocean]

So who's the tag partner?

Yamato Nadeshiko

 

[TWILT]

Dat fucking super lol

Cool to see her.

 

[Momentary]

Her body doesn't make any sense.
She's like a Play-Doh person, and it looks like she's got an extra, giant boob on her back.

Called lats, son.

 

[Tizoc]

So who's the tag partner?

Yamato N.
She's her tag partner and is mainly mentioned in official Capcom character files.

 

[ZeroTheShadow]

I don't think she transitions well into the claymation style of SFV.

Shaun the Sheep confirmed for TGS.

 

[dancegrenade]

That's not Urien

HE WILL RISE AGAIN!!!

 

[delSai]

About the V-Trigger (called Nadeshiko)

Depending on the direction held during the V-Trigger activation, R. Mika’s faithful tag-team partner will deliver a surprising, high flying attack at the opponent from different angles: neutral (body splash from above), hold back (dropkick from the front), hold forward (dropkick from behind).

Sorry if someone already posted it.

 

[SystemBug]

so all female characters in sfv will have big boobs and thick legs? wtf capcom

 

[Scotia]

I really hope we get Alex. Just to increase the chances of a Jazzy NYC remix in SFV.

If we get Alex but no Jazzy NYC then Ono has failed us.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Congrats, Gemi and R. Mika fans! After shitload of bashes, we won with Rainbow Mika's inclusion!

Let me remind you who.

Calling out those salty haters tho!

 

[Igo]

I'm sad she lost her boob hearts

But I'm so happy about this. Super fun character to play

Entire boob window is heart now mate. I consider that an upgrade.

 

[Kain]

Rainbooooowwwww

I liked her original VA better, but OK.

I'm never going to use her, but she seems fun and brings diversity to the cast. Good addition!

 

[dancegrenade]

I don't think she transitions well into the claymation style of SFV.

What does this even mean?

 

[Beelzebufo]

Cool! Never ever asked for her, but she looks fun. Like some Marvel vs Capcom up in here. Plus we still have Vega.

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

Are people really asking for Sean?? Crazy.

 

[Deps]

Capcom somehow managed to make her costume even worse, gameplay wise she looks fun.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Are people really asking for Sean?? Crazy.

Sean was fun as shit

 

[Fmal]

so all female characters in sfv will have big boobs and thick legs? wtf capcom

One can only hope.

Are people really asking for Sean?? Crazy.

There's an alternate universe out there where Ryu isn't in SFV and the shoto spot is filled with a not-shitty Sean and I want to live there.

 

[rhandino]

Entire boob window is heart now mate. I consider that an upgrade.

Holy shit, I didnt notice this.

LOOOOOOOOOL
