R.Mika General Thread: She's Stone Cold

[Basilisk]

People are gonna forget that deep crossup lk is really good. Sigh.

[RagingStormX]

Those videos by Sun_AV are some good shit. I can’t beleive during the entire beta I never thought to cancel c.HP into V-trigger for mix-up potential. I also really liked the liberal use of f.HP. I tended to mix it up between that and command grab pretty evenly. The only thing I don’t like that I still see Mikas doing in videos is command throwing them out of the corner. Is it because Brimstone wouldn’t reach where Typhoon would? I feel like if that’s the case then I’d just go for more normals or something.

I couldnt get brimstone to connect after f+hp blocked, seems they increased pushback on it.

Were you doing the lk version ? Also you might need to take a tiny step forward before doing it. I remember being able to do it in this build.

You can connect if you walk forward, but you have to have them scared on buttons. Only EX giant swing connects immediately after block. That being said I practice with the dummy standing, so that could be a issue also to where it can grab crouching due to hurt issues.

Doesn’t even have to be deep, I practiced with the cpu on reversal dp. 3 frame jab helps a lot.

As RagingStormX said, Brimstone wouldn’t reach after blocked f+HP.
This damage vs corner trade-off is OK for me. I think she will basically become a vortex character if she can do the Brimstone…

[Basilisk]

Mika is badass imo =P

Yeah that pretty much it, you go for the st.LK after a blocked charged HK. That is how usually i get them to stop pressing buttons.

Yah once Mika gets in it is tough to get her off of you if you don’t have a some what safe reversal or/and vgauge

[Basilisk]

I just noticed it SAYS nadeshiko on her outfit. Not sure why that’s funny but it is. Also Mika runs around in a circle when she wins and it is funny.

Glad to see great Mika’s matches on this page. I dunno how exactly, but we Mika fans/players should keep in touch often to provide opinions, tips and further informations about her movesets/gameplay. Maybe add each other on PSN/Steam to train together, even if we’re in outlying locations around the world.

I myself, for example, I’ve been playing zoner chars for 7 years long (Rose since SF4 and Poison after USF4 launch as well) and maining a fast grappler like Mika brings me some troubles to deal with. I know it’s about time, and within few months I’ll stop backdashing (perhaps Rose’s best skill in SF4 series) and gonna try to keep close the rival as much as I can (how Mika’s pressure works properly)

I have a kinda strange way to play because I do enjoy beating opponents with Mika’s passion throw (both back and forward), even when sometimes it isn’t the best (at least about damage) option. For now, doing funny combos is how my Mika works. I know, you gonna judge me for that. lol

I made a highlight reel of my matches during beta 4 if anyone is interested.

Beyond great matches, you’ve also made a fantastic video editon. I hate you!

I think I’d be down for this but my only thing is though, besides adding each other on PS4 or steam isn’t that essentially what the Mika forums will be when the game comes out? Though, I think a good idea would be some sort of skype chat or IRC or something to stay active. Maybe even just adding each other in a facebook chat or something. A friend of mine had one of those for Yosuke in p4u and it seemed to be a cool idea.

On another note I’m really impressed with this thread. There’s lots of good videos and tech being put in here. I wish I could have recorded all my matches with Mika but I was at my friend’s the entire time the beta was up.

[DARKHOKAGE]

some combos ive been fooling around with during downtime searching for matches… crush counter combos and general bnbs with v trigger.

Anytime I see Mika videos I think BOOTYFEST

Love the way you kept your opponent in the corner all the time.

I need to practice that CH cr.LK to st.MP hit confirm!

[RagingStormX]

Another mix up you can do from c.fp/s.fp is grab or c.lk. If the crouch lk hits (due to trying to jump the grab) you can dash and land a combo.

[Hitomi]

So I’m guessing her BnBs right now are …

cr.LP LP xx LP Peach
st.HK charged or general hit-confirm: st.LK > st.MP xx LP Peach
st.HK charged CC > st.MP > st.HP xx Super or HP SP
st.HK charged CC > st.MP > Passion Press > st.HK charged > cr.MP for reset in corner, EX WA out of corner or for damage
f+HP … (cr.MP if non-CC reset) (HP WA if looking for damage on non-CC) (f+HP > EX WA if cornered or CC and looking for damage) (f+HP > cr.MP if cornered or CC and looking for reset) (EX SP or f+HP > EX SP if looking for corner carry)
Post-stun or hit jump-in: j.HP > see st.HK CC combos but more likely to end in Super or cr.MP, unless the EX WA ending would kill

Did I miss anything important?

My biggest concern is after the launch this thread gets a ghost place. It helps me a lot to learn advanced Mika’s gameplay and new tactics, as well train my limited English . And of course, people here is nice. Let’s make a team and kick asses around. We’ll be all muscle!

R. Mika, Ono and me gonna kill you guys if you fly away from here! :bawling:

Did I miss anything important?

target combo xx medium peach.

ch c lk x target combo xx medium peach.
ch/meaty s.medium kick, target combo xx medium peach.
ch spaced c.hp ~ clp, clp xx lp peach

Are all pretty essential imo.

[Kreative_Mente]

I’m down for all of those options

Charged HK CC xx VT, full jump in combo
