How so?

It's a joke. Bears and all.

 

[SUPARSTARX]

I will main her if she has the Okada rain maker clothesline.

 

[mattp]

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

Because I would love to experience that done to me.

My health bar would skyrocket.

sigh

 

[Son Of D]

If they had FGC favorites in the crowd hyping things up and people going "AY AY AY" when combos connected, that would be amazing.

Fuck it, give us New Day dancing around the ring. Xavier Woods plays SFV so let's get that cross-promotion.

 

[CrackpotDesert]

Is Karin's copyright issue keeping her from appearing in another Street Fighter?

 

[shinobi602]

We truly are living in an age of booty.

The golden age.

 

[jwhit28]

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.

It's funny how no matter how many times game developers say it isn't the case, or even in games where we know active development isn't stopping after release, people will complain about a character they don't like "taking a spot" from a character they deem worthy.

 

[BadWolf]

Is Karin's copyright issue keeping her from appearing in another Street Fighter?

That was the word before SFV, the issue may have been resolved since.

 

[Lulubop]

Is Karin's copyright issue keeping her from appearing in another Street Fighter?

no

That was the word before, the issue may have been resolved since.

That was never the word, and it never prevented her from being in any game. Not sure why this got any sort of traction.

 

[Sou Da]

I would literally sacrifice all of you in a Berserk esque eclipse just to get Makoto in at launch, tbh.

 

[Gbraga]

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

Trash, unimaginative, creatively bankrupt character designs.

Her skin looks amazing though, seriously impressed.

 

[BronsonLee]

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

Time for the boys to become men

It's both, double buttriat into double butt driver

The protector of the japanese skies

That super is both incredibly stupid and astoundingly ass-focused.

It is the perfect R. Mika move

 

[Holy Order Sol]

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

"people" can get fucked

 

[Einchy]

The last two characters have been duds for me.

I only really played Alpha on the PSP so I have no nostalgia for any alpha characters and Vega has always been lame.

Still hoping we get some more Third Strike characters.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Neat! She looks like a lot of fun to play!

 

[AdmiralMikey]

If you're losing hope for the roster and this is a garbage character, I really want to know what characters you do want.
Honestly, I'm genuinely curious

Skullomania

 

[Crocodile]

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

Yeah, from the 'fans'.

LMAO at this palpable salt

Ono loves Mika more that probably anyone else in the World LOL

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.

It's almost as if Capcom is going out of their way to bring back characters that haven't been around for a while, some of which still have a sizeable/loud fansbase. What a horrible thing for them to do

Spoiler

LOL

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

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

So? She is a regular in SF (and non-SF) rosters since then, Karin isn't. There is no reason to bring back Karin over her other than the "fans".

 

[Stone Ocean]

Skullomania

Skullomania is never coming back.

 

[jwhit28]

Only thing lame about Vega is never bringing back the fence.

 

[Tizoc]

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

Just impress them with her whack moves and never do her super move

 

[Scotia]

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

Wait till you see Urien

 

[RedEther]

Dreams really do come true thank you based Ono

 

[Spuck-uk]

How so?

The speedo wearing Russian who 'Wrestles Bears', hmmmm.

Plus he keeps a picture of Vega next to his mirror

 

[RyudBoy]

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

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

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

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

Sorry, I have no past experience with this character. She is basically new to me.

 

[BronsonLee]

Just impress them with her whack moves and never do her super move

Wrong
Everybody gets invited to the Booty Eating Renaissance™

 

[Valnen]

The speedo wearing Russian who 'Wrestles Bears', hmmmm.

Plus he keeps a picture of Vega next to his mirror

So fan theories then? Alright.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Need an R.Mika to win Grand Finals EVO.

Infiltration pls.

 

[Leafhopper]

So? She is a regular in SF (and non-SF) rosters since then, Karin isn't. There is no reason to bring back Karin over her other than the "fans".

There is no reason to bring Sakura other than the fans either. This is coming from someone who likes Sakura and Karin. Character slots aren't predictable and Capcom can put in whoever they deem necessary.

 

[Shmuppers]

Skullomania

Capcom plz

 

[McNum]

Rainbow Mika is in? What an unexpected, but welcome surprise. I usually end up playing a quick female character or a grappler in fighting games, but this time, I won't have to choose, I get both at the same time. She looks really fun to play.

Do you think she'll have two or three V-Meter bars? Since she builds up for one move like Charlie Nash, will she have two as well? It's only Bison s far who has three, right?

Also, that's Naruto's voice actor, isn't it? It sure sounds like Naruto's voice. I can't unhear that. Well, no worries, I'll have to play her in English when the game releases. Like Thor in MvC3, I need to cut some extended promos with her.

 

[TheStig88]

Infil capping EVO out with a stunner. My heart would explode from the hype.

Infiltration pls.

 

[Ushay]

Looking more and more like the new generation SF Alpha. Loving it.

Hoping Gouken get's announced at some point.

 

[BadWolf]

That was never the word, and it never prevented her from being in any game. Not sure why this got any sort of traction.

Ono himself has spoken about it:

One of the main reasons they have trouble getting Karin in the game is because her copyright belongs to a Manga artist. It doesn't mean they can't put her in, it just becomes really difficult contractually. He hints that if Harada does something *wink* *wink*, she might be in TxSF. Ono assures that he is not trolling with these statements, but they are true.

[nded]

So fan theories then? Alright.

One of Zangief's official "dislikes" is "beautiful women of marriageable age".

 

[Village]

So? She is a regular in SF (and non-SF) rosters since then, Karin isn't. There is no reason to bring back Karin over her other than the "fans".

Technically speaking thats why you bring anything back

 

[Gbraga]

GOD, YES, INFILTRATION PLSSSSSS

 

[Ryuukan]

why are people hating on the finisher, its legit

 

[suplex]

STONE COLD STUNNER

I hope she has a diamond cutter too.

 

[Lulubop]

Well you showed me.

 

[bob_arctor]

Badass. Like I said, dude's Shocking Alberto. A suave bad guy you love, replete with super powers.

 

[Son Of D]

Is Karin's copyright issue keeping her from appearing in another Street Fighter?

Won't be surprised if there's a deal made. Capcom were able to get Strider back for UMvC3 and he had co-ownership issues if I'm not mistaken.

 

[SlashX]

Trailer gave me goosebumps! SO HYPE!!!

Capcom redeemed??

 

[entremet]

The speedo wearing Russian who 'Wrestles Bears', hmmmm.

Plus he keeps a picture of Vega next to his mirror

LOL never noticed this. ST ending?

 

[bob_arctor]

Trailer gave me goosebumps! SO HYPE!!!

They've been redeemed the second I played V.

 

[m_shortpants]

Never liked her character design, but she looks interesting gameplay wise.

Just give me Urien now

 

[JackelZXA]

why are people hating on the finisher, its legit

It's hitting someone with the entire force of your body. it'd hurt! (and knock u down)

 

[mnz]

Won't be surprised if there's a deal made. Capcom were able to get Strider back for UMvC3 and he had co-ownership issues if I'm not mistaken.

I mean whoever owns it probably likes 1 money more than 0 money.

 

[Owensboro]

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

First thing I thought and I've thought since people started clamoring for her inclusion. I won't lie, she looks fun as hell to play (love the campy-ness of it all) but good god the looks I'm going to get in my house. Especially because I'm going to be playing her.
