I'm always impressed by how Ninja Theory manages to inject their characters with anti-personalities.

Trash, unimaginative, creatively bankrupt character designs

Damn, Ninja Theory getting blamed for everything.

 

[Evilisk]

Love that they added her

I'm very,very worried about the addition of Urien.(The worst character and design since heihachi mishima in diapers)

Please capcom don't add Urien, don't waste a character slot on him.

1) Urien predates that Heihachi costume

2) That Heihachi costume is awesome/hilarious

3) Yer just jealous of that hot Greek bod

 

[Scotia]

Wasn't that rumor wrong about the previous few characters?

No, they only mentioned Mika, Alex, Urien and Karin. They haven't talked about anyone else.

EDIT: Beaten

No.

Lol, did TN kill your dog or something?

 

[The Lone Dragon]

I feel like, like me a bunch of people talking crap about her design, are familiar with wrestling

Then, I wasn't talking about you. Doesn't change the fact that a lot of people who have criticized her are NOT familiar with wrestling.

I've seen people ask why she's using her butt to attack. Wrestlers do that. Often.

I've seen people ask why is she wearing a costume like that? Wrestlers have worn stuff like this. Often.

A lot of folks seem to think Capcom just created some sort of shallow, fanservice abomination from scratch. Nope, pretty much everything she does is a reference to pro-wrestling, fanservicey or otherwise.

This... is a dumb comment, its totally unfair to assume everyone who criticizes her costume doesn't know about wrestlers

That would be a dumb comment. Good thing I didn't say that. I never said everyone who criticizes her costume doesn't know about wrestlers.

 

[Reset]

Don't really about this character, but if Capcom is listening why is Ken's face still busted up.

 

[Leafhopper]

EDIT: nah, i don't want to keep derailing the thread.

You are just trolling at this point since Sakura is fanservice as well.

EDIT: Nice edit mate.

Original post.

If the leaked list is true then i'm gonna cry. Picking Karin over Sakura, why on earth would you do that? Oh yeah, fanservice again...

 

[BronsonLee]

All that fan clamour for a character no one played, I'm sure the 3 R. Mika mains across the globe must be excited. Well, at least this means Karin and Alex might actually get in.

Alex is the definition of trash

Leave him on the streets like the urchin he is!

 

[RyudBoy]

5 million polygons per boob

Anyhow, I could be wrong but she looks like a El Fuerte knockoff which means I'll never use her. :/

 

[bob_arctor]

agreed.

Urien's physique would look incredible in this engine, and I like the way he plays. I hope they do justice to his Aegis Reflector.

Plus he's like a main villain without being a main villain. Urien reminds me of Shocking Alberto from Giant Robo--a super powered free agent that you can try to bend to your will, unsuccessfully.

 

[Stone Ocean]

All that fan clamour for a character no one played

No one played Ryu in 3S, what a wasted slot for SF4!

 

[mattp]

urien, alex, and q
just do it, capcom

 

[Dremark]

If the leaked list is true then i'm gonna cry. Picking Karin over Sakura, why on earth would you do that? Oh yeah, fanservice again...

Yeah because Sakura somehow is not a fanservice character.

Want a shoulder?

 

[Scotia]

u wot m8

 

[Degen]

Giant Swing? Stunner? Bulldog? Powerbomb? Shining Wizard?

AND SHE HAS A TAG PARTNER?

I FOUND MY MAIN

She literally did a Tag Assault into an anti-air throw

it's like they knew

 

[Reset]

Ah yes, I forgot when people think of Street Fighter the first character that comes to their mind is R.Mika.

Alex is the definition of trash

Yeah Alex is indeed trash tier along with Twelve and Hugo.

 

[BronsonLee]

5 million polygons per boob

Anyhow, I could be wrong but she looks like a El Fuerte knockoff which means I'll never use her. :/

She's not running or shit though

u wot m8

He's a bum!

 

[Strangelove77]

With 100 dlc costumes for each character that somehow still end up making the characters bland and uncharismatic.
It is indeed impressive.

Knocks offs generally don't predate the character they are "copying".

 

[LordCiego]

Im really liking this initial roster a lot, less shotos is always good, and thats from someone that likes playing Ken.

 

[jon bones]

Alex is rumored to be in, gotta wait and see.

Spoiler

HYPA BOMB IN 1080P!

i know

i'm warmed up

i'm ready to go for broke

Kids born after R. Mika's initial appearance (Alpha 3) will turn 18 when R.Mika returns for SFV.

thank you for that, i didn't need to feel young today anyway

Ah yes, I forgot when people think of Street Fighter the first character that comes to their mind is R.Mika.



Yeah Alex is indeed trash tier along with Twelve and Hugo.

are you positive about anything? every single time i see your avatar, it's followed by a negative post

lighten up, b

[Spirit of Jazz]

Not sure if I'm good at this gif making thing but here's my hand at showing Mika's finisher for those perhaps at work and can't watch the video yet.

I assumed it was just a double butt smash, but after watching that gif it's clearly a butt based piledriver. I never expected it to be even more awesome than I originally thought.

She plays absolutely nothing like Fuerte. She's a full grappler like Gief

 

[Jawmuncher]

Im really liking this initial roster a lot, less shotos is always good, and thats from someone that likes playing Ken.

I'm haven't really been feeling the characters so far. Hope we see the other brand new characters soon.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

R.Mika an El Fuerte knockoff. What a world we live in.

 

[AZYG4LYFE]

Love that they added her

Please capcom don't add Urien, don't waste a character slot on him.

Capcom make a good investment by adding awesome unique characters like Urien, he definitely isn't a waste!


TTH combos!

Crush! Crush! Kill~Aegis Reflector~CRUSH!!!

 

[HabeeNo]

I'm thinking how she'll tie into the story. Everybody in it before her had some sort of connection with Shadaloo/Ryu's story

 

[Stone Ocean]

I assumed it was just a double butt smash, but after watching that gif it's clearly a butt based piledriver. I never expected it to be even more awesome than I originally thought.

It's both, double buttriat into double butt driver

The protector of the japanese skies

 

[Spuck-uk]

Is she Zangief's girlfriend?

Zangief is clearly very gay.

 

[CrackpotDesert]

I hope her couching HP is still godlike.

Eagle or Maki next?

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

You are just trolling at this point since Sakura is fanservice as well.

EDIT: Nice edit mate.

If Capcom brings Sakura back is because she is a classic and stablished character. Karin on the other hand... not so much.

But hey, keep asking for Ingrid.

 

[EDarkness]

Great that they added her, but I really don't like how she looks in 3D.

 

[LordCiego]

She plays absolutely nothing like Fuerte. She's a full grappler like Gief

So no zangief then?

 

[Leafhopper]

I'm haven't really been feeling the characters so far. Hope we see the other brand new characters soon.

But then we will just have people complain that isn't X old character. Like when people complained about Necali.

 

[jett]

Damn, Ninja Theory getting blamed for everything.

haha brainfart

 

[Scotia]

Anyhow, I could be wrong but she looks like a El Fuerte knockoff which means I'll never use her. :/

Yeah 'cause a character that appeared 10 years before Fuerte is a 'knockoff'.

 

[Valnen]

Zangief is clearly very gay.

How so?

 

[Xpliskin]

Everybody's missing the point.



They'll keep releasing characters post-launch.

If your char isn't in the original roster, you'll spend money to get him once he's released.

If too many popular and fan favorites are in the original roster, everyone will be happy enough with the base game.


"MY CHAR IS FINALLY HERE, I'VE WAITED SO LONG. TAKE MY MONEY"


4. Profit

 

[Sou Da]

You son of a bitch, Start Running Now

R. Mika: You can play, but you can't touch

She's a ridiculous anime exaggeration of a luchador and even then Nicki Bella is STILL just a step away from having the same amount of an ass wedgie as her.

 

[Stone Ocean]

So no zangief then?

Yeah, with her in I wouldn't expect Gief in the initial roster at all

 

[skLaFarebear]

But then we will just have people complain that isn't X old character. Like when people complained about Necali.

Unless every previous SF character makes it into the game along with a bunch of new awesome characters, people are gonna complain about anything.

 

[Teknopathetic]

"All that fan clamour for a character no one played, I'm sure the 3 R. Mika mains across the globe must be excited. Well, at least this means Karin and Alex might actually get in."


Speaking of characters nobody played...

 

[Leafhopper]

If Capcom brings Sakura back is because she is a classic and stablished character. Karin on the other hand... not so much.

But hey, keep asking for Ingrid.

Sakura was not in Street Fighter until Alpha 2, only one game before Karin

EDIT: And I didn't ask for Ingrid. I said it would be nice and I know how impossible it would probably be.

Keep acting like you know what you are talking about though.

 

[Lulubop]

Haha, this is a perfect example what happens when you spend too much time listening to the 'fans'.

She is Ono's favorite character and he tried to get her into 4 but Capcom said no. Nice try though.

 

[Kikujiro]

Lmao the reveal threads are always the best, the salt is too real.

I said plenty of time that I never liked R. Mika, especially her costume, but her moveset looks like fucking on point, gonna try her for sure.
I really like the "silliness" of SF and I hope they will never tone it down.
Looks like Karin and Alex are going to make it, can't wait.

 

[HarryKS]

Yo, her super. That's meant to hurt?

Because I would love to experience that done to me.

My health bar would skyrocket.
