if you complete all 10 trials per character, you get 5000 exp for that character and any Fight Money that might come with the levels gained
Ah good. Thanks for the know.
Apparently the nerf Marn was talking about is real
What nerf?
Wow, did the 1F increase in the up jump really kill the lk mix-up Marn loves?
Fucking people have no idea about the mechanics of the game. Also his j. lk mixup was not good enough for him to be crying about =( It looked cute though and everyoneās going to jerk off about it. Those are people that suck ass with Mika.
The people that steal that are going to have shitty timing and get jabbed on their wakeups, or have their throws jumped and wonder why it somehow consistently doesnāt work for them. Then theyāll post on here or eventhubs about how Mika is bottom tier.
Oh also theyāll get meatied with proper timing, fail to wake up with qcf+pp (which isnāt a wakeup for mika to begin with) and then when it gets stuffed theyāll freak out and switch to Nash and start throwing shit and following it so they can safely hit buttons without knowing the game.
As I mention earlier on this page the mixup still works if you use cr.MK instead of s.MK. Whether itās any good or not depends on how much your opponent likes blocking. 
Iām well aware I didnāt want to include that in my post, itād make it too complicated unfortunately. Itād lead to a bunch of questions and now itās too late =P.
Thereās a bunch of people wanting to phone it in with Mika that are going to fail now and Iād really like to keep her as my at least secondary character.
The big secret about Mika is that sheās fucking hard to win with and has bad matchups across the board. But no one will believe that because one player did 15 jumps a game and got away with it. If you or I did that bullshit weād get anti aired as many times as it would take to die. But Marn was better and timed it just right to where heād jump just as the opponent attempted normals so heād get blocked jumpins. Then theyād clam up and heād get away with a few more.
No one thinks Marn is any good though and they donāt appreciate that (Iāve watched the matches multiple times, he played amazingly well). Iād challenge him to do it again, he probably couldnāt. But he played exceptional footsies that time to make top 4.
is ex fist smashing (not sure the correct name) good to use to retaliate on wake up? not sure why but it seems inconsistent. sometimes I get beat by standing punches or it doesnāt come out:(
Apparently not. I was informed a few posts above not to use it on wake up. It loses to a lot more than youād think. Meaties, grabs, lowsā¦ They all shut it down. Unless you time it to beat something specific instead of using it as a āGet Out of Jail Freeā card, youāll just end up wasting your meter.
No.
Mikaās qcf+pp isnāt invincible at all on wakeup. Also it doesnāt even have armor on the first move, that was a nerf from long ago. So like if Cammy does f+hk and knees you in the face as youāre waking up, you WILL get touched by it and you canāt beat it out.
If I as Mika, knock YOU down as Mika, and you stand up into my f+fp since it has multiple active frames. Or even s. mp with its active frames. If I time it right, your wakeup qcf+pp will fail. As Mika youāre better off making the decision to block and/or v reversal. Or jump. (or maybe wakeup super if you have full meter heh)
Mika has no āget off meā move when she wakes up. The qcf+pp is only sufficent against poorly spaced meaties.
The EX Peach does not have armor for the first 1-3 frames, it is no safer than a jab for start up. When youāre waking up your opponent is going to want something active within the first 1-2 frames to beat a jab. Itās the same timing we try to use for Lady Mika and other mix ups that we do. If any move they do gets hit by an ex peach, it would also have been hit by a wake up jab. Youāre betting on your opponent not being goodā¦ Which can sometimes pay off, but will happen less and less the better you get.
ex.peach doesnāt get armour until the 3rd frame. Feel free to use it on wake-up, but:
[list]
[] it wonāt beat meaties or wake-up traps
[] it only has 1 hit of armour
[/list]
Enough people thought he was good enough to shout him a ticket to the states to compete in a non-premium CPT event.
Itās not like the guy had one lucky match against some decent player - he smashed top player after top player, made it out of the death pool, and worked his way up to top 4. Love him or hate him, thereās no doubting he can play at a high level. Yeah, he likes gimmicks and relies on Ume-everything, but his spacing and execution are on point.
best mika get off me move is ex wingless or v-reverse. Sadly. Otherwise just block, jab, or jump.
Iām pretty frustrated with s.hk being Mikaās 2nd crush counterā¦
Itās like - I donāt do s.hk to counter an opponents move. It can be used to punish ONLY ex srk from Ken and any Cammy srk, there arenāt any other moves where it is a good punishā¦
The s.hk is used to open the opponent up. When I do it I have something I plan on doing next whether it hits or misses. Itās a set up move.
The problem is that everything I would normally do after the s.hk would miss because the CC pushes the opponent too far backā¦ Everything I would do if it does CC is a horrible decision if it doesnātā¦ Itās such a trap crush counterā¦ I wonder if it would be better if it just didnāt CC at all :\
i dont remember if thatās a product of her beta nerfs or not but itās pretty ridiculous. Iām a noob, but: Trying to find ways to capitalize off crush counters has been a trying time. I just wish there was a button I could press after I get a crush counter instead of 20 different possibilities. Sometimes Iād rather it just NOT be a crush counter if theyāre going to not let me do anything afterwards 
Mikaās s.hk is one of my favourite moves - Iām always throwing that thing around. So good against opponents that like c.mk-style pokes.
If you havenāt already seen it, there was a series of Fuudo matches linked from the front news page a little while ago (http://shoryuken.com/2016/03/28/fuudo-kichijojiken-face-off-in-lengthy-street-fighter-v-set/) and a short way into the set, he nails a CC off s.hk perfectly.
If people had been punishing the blatantly unsafe shit that Marn was getting away with I donāt know if heād have made it out of pools. The number of blocked and unpunished Passion Presses and EX Shooting Peaches was, quit frankly, depressing.
Whether you like Marn or not is one thing but if someone genuinely doesnāt think heās good at fighting games then all theyāre doing is self-identifying as a moron.
