R.Mika confirmed for Street Fighter V

You charge down while doing crouching normals:

something like her cr.mk > cr.lp > st.mp link

as you do cr.mk > cr.lp you charge for the SBK, and then you let go of the stick to neutral, hit st.mp, then hit up and LK to get the SBK. It's a very small window, but you keep the charge for enough frames to input a standing normal and cancel it into a down / up charge special.

That's pretty fucking awesome. Daaaayum.

Mika is a charge character?
 
I wonder if Mika will have that rare honor of being a female character with more than average vitality in a Street Fighter game. A grappler needs to be somewhat beefy so they can afford to trade hits for positioning. So, will Mika go over 1000 or whatever Ryu's Vitality is? How tough was she in Alpha 3, anyway?
 
Haha.

Bah gawd, the two grapplers announced for the launch roster look so freaking good. I'm totally cool with giving up Hakan now.
 
Hell the only two true grappling females that come to mind are:

R. Mika
Shermie (KOF)

(If there's more I'd love to know who!)

It's a rare archetype I've wanted dot see come back for a long-ass time.

mary ivonskaya - tobal
ryoko - fighter's history
hinako - kof
tsugumi - fatal fury
kira - arcana heart
jaycee - tekken

that's just off the top of my head but there's a bunch more I'm forgetting.
 
And yes, you do have the right to criticize what they do, but you criticizing them isn't going to stop what they do, and you have no right to force your ideology on them. Neither do I or anyone else in this thread.

You still have yet to tell me when I've actually done this. But please, go ahead, the big bad boogeyman wants to force his ideology on everyone else, and only your passionate defense can stop him!
 
This is so awesome. Im super excited to see Mika, even without ass jiggle physics. Her play style looks complex with the whole assist dynamic, plus Capcom made her look great.
Now that we have Cammy and Mika, all thats left is Juri for the sexy trifecta.

Are you sure there's no ass jiggle? I think I saw her butt reacting to the slap.

She has ass physics tho, you gotta watch that slowed down to see.
 
She was hinted at being in the game at some point, wasn't she? I swear I remember reading about it on Neogaf somewhere (and not just the Siliconera rumour). Can anyone elaborate? It's bugging me and I can't find it!
 
How does that work?

Mind you I haven't played SFV yet, but assuming it works like all other SFs:

Charge down, let the joystick go to the neutral position while pressing mp (her standing strong), cancel to up+lk to complete SBK command.

EDIT: So damn beaten.

Wait, that was possible in other SF games? I feel like I missed out on a lot. Granted I never really mained a charge character, but still, seems like knowledge I should have.
 
If you want an echo chamber, sure. Find others who don't see a problem with it. But I feel keeping broad horizons and being open to new ideas and points of view is more important. So I like having friends that challenge my viewpoints and help me think outside the box, because that stuff doesn't come naturally. That's how we learn.
If I don't play because a character will make me look like a "basement dweller" to the society, than I pretty sure there are not a lot of game I can play in my country, so please. And you can have friend that have different opinion you know. When I told him to find someone to play video games with, I not ask him to find him a echo chamber, I ask him maybe stop care about what society view video games. In this case R.Mika, who is a old character, looks exactly the same as she was, and she's a wrestler that wear revealed outfite. She is confiden, kicks asses, delivery stunner. Why do we keep focus on the fact that she have big boobs are big ass. Why does we have to care about the fact that there will be mod that make her naked ? There is naked mod everywhere. In case you say "that's the problem", which I know you will. Fan can make whatever the fk they want for the character they love. Japanese woman make doujin where two man yada yada yada, you know where i go with this. And I ask if they love that and it's not wrong legal wise just like this case. Why do you have to pay attention to this character ? If you not a sexist, you don't download nude mod, you think the character is " cringeworthy". Tell me why you, who don't care about society views, give single fuck what a pixel looks like. If you said :"Oh, I want to voice my opinion" then please after this thread every time there is a game with women in it, go inside and post about how afraid you are that there will be nude fan art, yada yada.

The biggest hint came a few days ago when Ono told people that they should look forward to PAX because he finally got his wish. He wanted Mika in SF4 and kept begging the director to put her in, but he never could convince him.

No, this was a little while ago. Maybe a month ago? I could just be going crazy.

I feel that ignoring the problem doesn't do anything to help fix it.

Why do you believe that someone who doesn't like how R.Mika looks must be worried about someone else's opinion? Is it literally impossible for you to think that someone doesn't like it because they just don't?
 
I can see the sexism and woman objectification remarks brewing in the distance... :)

probably the worst thing about the internet.

It's a bit of an eye roll of a design though. but I guess it's for the 'cartoons give me boners' segment of the population.
 
I've never liked her design but people getting legitimately upset over this has me rolling.

She looks like a blast to play. I wasn't really paying too much attention to SF5 before, but now this has me pretty hype.
