How does Mika play mid-range? None of her normals or specials are suited to hold that space, everything is close-ranged. I know she has her charged “jump kicks” but they’re reactable and can be low profiled by a couple of characters, not necessarily a stable gameplan when you can’t threaten anything else other than that from those ranges, it becomes easy to expect that way.
Whiff punish to get in. She does not have a good midrange IMO, but she’s got a host of gimmicks and some decent whiff punishers. Basically you can’t play reckless with R.Mika because you have to be patient to get in and start playing crazy.
c.LK that has more range than a lot of characters c.MK’s, Mika’s c.MK beats Chun Li’s c.MK at max range, s.MK moves her forward and beats a lot of low normals and can fight other standing normals, charged drop kick, max range slide, there’s options.
