R.Mika confirmed for Street Fighter V

DryEyeRelief said:
She has a cartoonish aesthetic that was fit for the Alpha series. Compare it to Ryu who reverted more to his down to earth 3rd strike design before making the transition to 3d.


That kind of character design (as bad as it is) would look better in a game that was stylized like Xrd.

Yeah, this game needs more down to earth characters like Birdie and Necalli and the teleporting zombie and the spanish ninja.

I'm glad R.Mika is getting all the armchair designers to come out and tell Capcom how FUCKING STUPID they are.

"For those who don't like SFV, we have a game you can play. It's called Third Strike."

As a Third Strike fan, this so hard. While I would love to have my favorite characters (Ibuki, Rose and Sakura) like I have in IV, I know they'll come eventually. While I like Third Strike more than any other Street Fighter, I know IV and V are not Third Strike.

When I want to play 3S I go back and play it.
 
Her design is still as bad as before except a lot more gross.
Besides that everything about her seems awesome!

Give us a good alt please.
 
Didn't think they could come up with a worse outfit than her original, should have known better than to underestimate Capcom. Everything else looks cool though, a good addition to SFV...

This also gives more credit to the Urien leak, can't wait.

Was just going to ask someone to make this!

Love that she made it, she is awesome and this makes SFV day one for me!
 
Well if Urien is in, they need to keep him in his banana hammock and not put him in a suit. (save that for alternate).

Gotta keep the ridiculous costumes balanced gender-wise and to point people to if they complain.

It would be nice if Nadeshiko won't do her run-in until you let go of HP+HK.

Maybe it's always delayed and uninterruptible. Creates a situation where the opponent has to go on the defensive because they know an attack is coming, which opens up an opportunity for Mika to go in.

They should just be true to his inspiration and have him fight entirely nude, complete with physics :P
 
Just saw the trailer, we got some Stone Cold Stunners in SFV?! I'll have to play her just to stun some bitches.

I really hate her super though. Like, a lot.

A lot of people have complaints about the character designs of SF5, from Ken's facehair to Birdie's bulge to Mika's...bulges. Maybe, just maybe it's not the fans that are the problem.

This is my guess as well, kinda like S.Labrys super in P4A.
 
This character roster so far is really fascinating, almost the total opposite balance from SF4. Only, what, 4 shotos so far?

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.

I was wondering what looked a little off about it.

Hmm.

Still, I don't mind it too much, maybe they'll have her old costume as an alt
 
Remember Mika is a wrestling, and specially Zangief, fan, of course her outfit and attitude are going to be over the top.
 
OH HELLLL FUCKING YESSSSSSS

My SFA3 main has returned! All hail the grapple queen! I wanna pre-order this game like 10 fucking times.

Her design is sooooo good. So sexy and fun and over the top, her tag team partner is awesome, that super is insane. I'm so goddamn excited. Holy shit.

Absolutely. The collective whining from pro players on Twitter complaining that they're "mastering" characters in training mode after playing the beta for only several hours and the game seems too basic is completely ironic. The irony is that these pros don't understand that they're pros because they are good at the one thing that everyone else isn't. They can adapt. Everyone can be good at training mode and can burn combos into muscle memory. The less mechanics in general means the less chance of having shortsighted mechanics that deemphasize the mental aspect of the game that rewards players that are aware and adaptable - which makes for a flourishing of competitive play.

I can't wait to see people get blown up at EVO for being too reliant on stupid shit. I even faced a dude who focused on mastering combos but not fundies,and destroyed him.

Because her costume looks dumb. That there's a reason for it looking dumb doesn't stop it from looking dumb. :-P

Ever since SFA3 I never cared for her dumb outfit.
She's a very charismatic character and that's all that matters IMO.
