R.Mika General Thread: She's Stone Cold

Might be a little rough for her neutrally, but if she gets on him he’s mostly likely going to die quickly.

That’s mainly because her cheap shit is pretty technical. Like a better version of Juri. Juri has good shit, it just requires levels of execution and maintenance that only top top level character specialists are going to bother with. The way Punk plays Karin even Mago has admitted he’s not capable of emulating. J.Wong of course just doesn’t have the hands or executional mind set to do Karin’s optimal shit.

Scrubs can really only hate the characters like Rog, Ken, Laura and Mika who can do extremely damaging things without much execution. They tend to give Ibuki a pass because of course Xian is the best player of her and she does require his level of optimization to make truly top tier. Run of the mill online Ibukis usually drop something, botch a setup or burn their kunais too fast.

Has anyone figured anything on Abigail ? I got couple of matches against him.

So far i found that if he cancels into it and is close, that the clap is a good way to deal with his run. The other thing is that you can wingless airplane and beat his overhead and if he doesn’t do the OH then you are kinda safe.

Interesting matches @amrraed

Ab is literally a pain in the ass for Mika.

He is annoying as shit to fight. These guys are all going in like crazy, i can’t imagine what a nightmare turtly Abigail would be.

Just have to not be afraid of him it seems like. Those large hurt boxes on his attacks look prime for catching with irish whip. You seemed to let him get away with an EX run in the corner when he didn’t have V Trigger. If he doesn’t have V Trigger popped the armor doesn’t activate til frame 3 so you could have just meatied him out of it. He only has an actual reversal in V Trigger.

Basically the neutral may be tough in some aspects, but the general risk/reward looks in Mika’s favor. You just need to tag one thing or land one command grab towards the corner and it should be blender time until he loses.

Abigail is one of my favorite matchups

Some keys areas is to
Bait the wheel kick. Especially the light version. Block low: EX typhoon, target combo and I believe st. hp for starters.

I have plenty videos to show.

I posted a few back when he launched.

You really have to take advantage of your speed and tick throws. You havet to pressure him. Outsmart them and have your punish ready to build on 2nd level tactics, CONDITIONING.

Create rhythmic block strings that with bait specific set ups to your game play.

WE GOT THIS!

BOMBEEEEERRRRRRR!!

You have to be fearless. Gotta be confident on your reads. He’s so slow. It’s a read and react thing.

Basically describes how you need to play mika period for nearly every match up (minus the ‘he is slow’ part obv.) She is not for the feint of heart.

I don’t understand all that hating talk.

Back to the topic at hand, yea it may sound cliche but it REALLY pertains to Abigail.

I just played an Abigail. Yea I kno, what are the odds, right?

(Check out one of the Abigail players taunted me, WRONG MOVE!)

Look out for those situations I spoke about.

I’m so excited about this character.

Not Gon let no one take my effort, guts and SPIRIT!

Hate? That is a weird way to take it. Mika requires guts and reads to play her well. All I was saying.

Double post snip

Yeah Bro it’s all good…my apologies.

Having played it a bit more, basically i would suggest minimizing the risk as much as possible in this MU. I don’t recommend going in very hard or going for risky plays often. Just let him come to you and make a mistake, then use that opening to make it work.

I have watched the other footage by too-humble but going in this hard and being this buttons against " Good " Abigail players is not gonna cut it. Playing Mika in general get substantially harder against people who will space themselves well to avoid her shit.

Lets say you do a dive bomb against Abigail, you are looking at 60 damage for you vs 300+ maybe even 400 with the right resources for him. The same goes for command grabs. Keep it sparingly. Once he is being pressured, it is hard for him but don’t over extend too much.

@“DevilJin 01” I still need to find his frame data, only thing i know is that st.MP is stupid plus on block but no clue on what else. Also didn’t know that in VT, his EX run have armor from frame 1, geez that is good.

His s.MP is supposedly the only plus 4 on block standing normal in the game, but it’s not exactly a fast starting button either (but the range is really good). EX armor is good, but armor still loses to throws and he has to use the pre jump glitch to make any of his attacks throw invincible on wake up. With you having a command grab you can force the issue more as you get in as he can’t just play with techs to space you out. He has to go for something that’s throw invincible or you will grab him with a command grab. You can likely just neutral jump his EX run on wake up and then dash behind and command grab him. Ideally with an EX typhoon back into the corner.

So According to this, Mika should also be able to F.HP then tick throw into LK or EX brimstone on block
