R.Mika General Thread: She's Stone Cold

More seriously I am pretty excited for the buffs to v-skill. It was a useless pull and you basically had to have a high evasion stat in order to make use of it. Now it not only benefits her by default, the armor on it is a little better expanding its uses a bit. I am super excited at the prospect of harassing people with hype.

I predicted wall bounce getting nerfed months ago so I have already adapted to that thankfully. I know a lot of less experienced Mika’s or casual ones will definitely feel the pain of that muscle memory change. Honestly though? lk reset on rope throw finally has a use now! We saw it used a bit seriously in capcom cup, but now there is actually a fair but honest use for it. And you can still do certain V-Skill combos and go into ex peach. I will miss the hype and thrill of wall bounce, but my damage out put? Not too worried about it, though we definetly got nerfed there.

Keep in good spirits Mikas! We will make it through. Besides, at least we can be thankful we aren’t Nash this Holiday Season.

Looks like you can link lady mika after CH st.mp. great for corner mix ups. Fooling around seeing what else I can find.

Edit: works on the whole cast. This is huge lol

Yeah the hit stun on her buttons has definitely been increased. She’s definitely got new combos. People are SLEEPING.

New shenanigans with the air target combo.

Looks like you’re at disadvantage after ex peach. If Ken fierce dp st. Mp will trade and you can react and combo off of it.

Your +1 after ex butt dash

So a 3 frames cr.LP will still CH on wakeup. Will that be able to link into st.MP on counter hit or on a meaty ?

You can do full combo. Cr.lp x st.mp x st. Fp x fierce peach. I meant to make a vid but didn’t get to it yet.

I am assuming that F+MP would be out of range after st.MP ?

No its still in range but no real good follow up afterwards since we no longer have the midscreen wall bounce. Better off confirming into peach for corner carry. I’ll post the videos tonight when I get home from work. Or one of yall can make it.

I am asking because after an EX peach chances are the next combo will send them to the corner. I also asking because cr.LP might be used as a wakeup 3 frames, that would be great if we are cornered. Sadly i don’t get to play until 1 AM on Friday due to work conditions. I will gladly set up any video i can find then. Thanks for the finds.

with EX butt, if you’re against a 4 framer just use MP and pretend nothing has changed. 3 framers gotta do a stuff a little differently

Who have doesn’t have a 3 frame move now ?

Nash, Guile , FANG , Gief, Alex, anyone else ?

@Cowman715 I do like using light a bit more because you still do get a tick throw out of it if they blocked. With st.MP you are at -2 and pretty much forced to stop, especially against people that knows what they are doing. st.MP might be great in the corner though because of the ability to link into F.HP now on CH.

Yea I just made a video of that a few posts up. And it works on the entire cast. Mika is still awesome imo. I feel like she is going to be more annoying lol

Edit: I’m sad about the f.mp nerf though. Like we can’t use it at all. We have to be on point for whiff punishes now

Probably not worth doing since you have to take a slight step forward in between the st.mp but nevertheless it’s there. Works on standing gief too

Just played against a diamond Cammy who uses to spam her s.mk. Man, how can I punish it now since Mika’s c.hp is resky. Very annoying match!

Easy. c.MK beats it pretty clean and if you land it on counter hit combo into EX peach if you’re close enough. Max range s.HP into peach or EX peach works well also.

c.HP you should save for when you have V Trigger. That’s when it’s the strongest any way. Only use it otherwise if you know you can max range it/make it hit on last active frame.
