R.Mika General Thread: She's Stone Cold

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLCnmXCx-rs
More of her gameplay (starting at 7:07 mark).

Lol. Evo moment #37 at the end.

Is there a backstory on R Mikaā€™s heritage. Is she completely Japanese or is there Scandinavian in her?

Alpha 3 and SF2 actually occupy the same time period in the SF timeline, according to SF4ā€™s continuity. SFA1/A2 are around 5 years before them.

Itā€™s been at most 5-6 years since SF2/SFA3 if this game takes place right before NG and at least 7-8 if it takes place after 3S.

R. Mika would be in her mid 20s I presume and she looks her age.

ā€¦ Damage output, thoughā€¦
Plus, that potential V-Skill power up.

Doubt it. Think shes just a thick bodied asian with blonde/dyed hair. Its rather common in anime for asian characters to have pretty much any color of hair.

A crouch throw? Thatā€™s pretty neat. You just know sheā€™ll be scary in the right hands. Also; half-circles, yay!

Vegaā€™s face looks so strange, itā€™s like a grown baby.

Of course Combofiend favors R-Mika , he likes them thick like Jenny Walters.

People canā€™t say she sucks anymore , they completely overhauled her moveset and playstyle. They will have to respect the butt now.

That V-Trigger is scary. Itā€™s just like a Marvel Assist. (Although itā€™s ovious you canā€™t spam it as much)

From the Mike Ross vs Comobfiend video , it looks like thereā€™s no start up or recovery animation for Mika during the summon. She can do whatever she wants while summoning it, just like a Marvel Assist. It can be used as a combo extender or to advance safely ( and maybe even cover unsafe moves too )

OMFG her win pose! She just runs around the defeated character cheering. Im in love with this character.

Iā€™m glad she still has her basic gameplay from Alpha. Iā€™m more afraid however that Zangief is going to make fighting him up closer harder since he has better grappling options. Thatā€™s why Fuerte was a better matchup for him because of his mobility. R. Mika is a more grounded wrestler, so she is going to be playing more to his game. The assist might make the match better, I suppose. Having El Fuerteā€™s Splash attack without the consequences of being punished for it feels good.

Iā€™m disappointed that they didnā€™t bring back her run super from Alpha. It looked like it could have led to more mix up options, but having El Fuerteā€™s Run command be limited to a critical art doesnā€™t sound fun to me. Still hoping he gets in, though.

If you had hidden the game, the character and the moves and shown me that chart, Iā€™d thought this would be a KOF grappling character

Needs more follow up chain inputs.

Why anti-air grab is not a DP motion? :open_mouth:

Dem peaches

Damn after seeing her in game she looks so much better than the old ass grapplers like gief/hawk sf4 iteration.

Shhhhhh shh shh shh shh

Donā€™t bring attention to it, just roll with it.

You can direct her wall throwā€¦ That is sick. Reminds me of the kinds of moves youā€™d see from grapplers in Tekken.

Can not wait to try this chick out.

Whatā€™s weird to me is the fact that Mika only has one V-Reversal. Was the info from Gamescom false or did they just not add the second one yet?

Its false. Vega has 2 backflip V reversals so they assumed everyone had 2.
