double post
How would you rank Mika now tier wise? I know itâs early yet, but personally, since dp were nerfed, I donât see her falling down that much
The animation of the clap looks so shitty now, it is like the attack is slowed down as if it was a sweep or something.
Still has direction-choice passion rope?

I hope so guysâŚ
According the Fubarduck they did increase the startup of f+MP. -_-
So now youâll have to VTC to get any midscreen shenanigans off of f+MP. Is the first hit still safe on block though?
Nope. According to Fubarduck, Passion Press is -5 or -6 now. Completely useless outside of corner combos now.
I considered picking him up for a bit then I heard about how important 6K xx Hammerfall Break loops are and thought, âno thanksâ.
It was fun while it lasted.
Wait a minute. That looks like she only passion press in the opposite direction. Does this mean you canât even use passion press on a cornered opponent now? DAYUM! So midscreen damage is gone and corner resets are removed ENTIRELY?
Youâre misinterpreting that video. It was posted to prove she can throw the opponent in any direction. Some people claimed that Passion Press lost that ability.
but can you be honest with yourself and say mika really needed the midscreen to corner carry 50/50 lol.

In that video she only whips in the opposite direction. Notice when he has him cornered Mika jumps over to get the wallbounce.
That canât be right, can it? Maybe they were just trying to show (poorly) that she still has the opposite direction availableâŚotherwise the move seems kinda pointless
Reports are its only one direction. And all the videos Iâve seen only show her whipping in the opposite direction. Capcom really wanted to remove her corner shenanigans I guess. She still has f+HP, cr.MP for the corner reset.
EDIT: Nevermind, you can see her whipping forward in this vid:

All l see lately is people saying that Mika wasnât supposed to be that strong of a character to begin with, and that she belongs to the lower mid tier, along with all the other grapplers.
That makes me wonder who gets to decide which character should be top tier and which should not. Heck, she was never even considered âtop tierâ to begin withâŚ
Also, I thought balancing was about making every character equally viable in their own way rather than placing said characterâs in the tier they âdeserveâ to be.
They also make the point that Mika can avoid neutral game by spamming clap all day. Honestly, what kind of scrub would lose to someone spamming the same shit for the entire fight? I call bullshit on this.
I will tell you who decides, it is Capcom. They flagship characters HAVE to be at-least viable but of you arenât a flagship character then fuck you.
You think that Capcom would dare to destroy Ken like they did to Mika ? Hell no.
You think that Capcom wants a comic relief female wrestler that hit people with her ass to be a top tier ? Hell no.
Mikaâs role was to appease to these weebs who was drooling over her, she is just a pure fan service character. She is just some meat, ass and tities for Capcom to derive sales but you think Capcom wants to keep her a contender ? Hell no.
She deserved to be nerfed, especially the clap but the shit am hearing about jabs becoming 4 frames, cr.HP nerfs ( Which already would get destroyed because of the 4 frame jab), V-reversals not resulting in a followup pressure.
It is like Come the fuck on ?
The clap was OP and deserved to be nerfed but now they destroyed everything about the character. She is Nothing but a corner reset now. That is it.
So, is it official that f mp is -6?
cr.HP is now -1 on block at max range and her jab is 4f? JesusâŚ
She has no reversal, no overhead, no close jump-in antiair (like birdie cr.MP), poor V-Skill (In addiction, now grey life regenerate slowerâŚ), heavy meter-dependant, poor defensive option (now V-Reversal in general are making worse in terms of knockdown game, soâŚ), and now she lost her 3f button?
Her only buff is Blocked HK at -2? Sounds good but this button still cause juggle crush counter instead of ground CC, not the same thing⌠No option to cause ground CC into big combo during footsies with frame trap like the rest of the cast.
I am not worried so much about the loss of invisible wallbounce, I think the character still remain good and dangerous even without this tool AND I donât want to drop the character because RMika is my main and I love her, but what about this others nerfs? (not balancing with proper buff elsewhere)
I am a little discouraged, even with all the good purpose 
What about you guys?
Is the 4 frame jab confirmed? I heard mixed things about cr.hp as well.
Nothing is confirmed as of yet as we donât have an official patch notes describing what are her new frame data. Most of these changes are by feel.
