R.Mika General Thread: She's Stone Cold

Not sure if this has been posted yet.

It seems that you can choose the timing of when Nadeshiko comes out in her V-Trigger.

For people like me who forgot her movelist:

Paradise Hold <3
Wingless Airplane <3
Heavenly Dynamite <3

Those were my fav moves

Not gonna lie, I hated her reveal, but she’s kinda growing on me after watching the gameplay.

Some small things I noticed from the gameplay video:

  • j.lk cross up.
  • V-Skill: Builds a lot of V-gauge. A little when she pulls the mic, then some more when she talks, then more if she absorbs a hit. (The mic never hit the other character so I don’t know if that would have been a gain as well.)
  • She has the same health as Ryu. (at least if we go by the grid, she and Ryu are in the exact same spot for health)

Something I did not notice before but this is more of a general sf5 thing. When using a v-reversal your stun gauge decreases to save your ass.

The boobs and the ass is enough. That reveal surprised me though, honestly thought blanka.
This character’s gonna shine in 5 though since certain alpha stuff is missing. Just like rose and birdie.
Karin would probably…take feilong’s spot O_O
But if dhalsim’s not, then this rachid better be the shit > : )

Where is Mika’s DDT?

If you mean Daydream Headlock, they changed it to a neutral throw

Never expected her to join the cast, I’m so pumped. She’s one of the few grapplers I like using, another example being Shermie in KOF. I can tell she’s gonna be loads of fun to play and maybe troublesome for opponents.

That V-Skill and the V-Trigger really do pique my interest… (and so does R. Mika’s assets but that is a story for another day).
V-Skill… When R. Mika is hit, she automatically tosses the mic on the floor. I wonder if this is useful against projectiles (post start up, because the R. Mika player would have to do it early after smacking the opponent to the ground). May lead to early activation of V-Trigger. For V-Trigger, Nadeshiko could easily be used as a zoning tool for Mika herself outside of her normals. Or… even, defensively. Definitely reasonable as shown in the video. This is a really interesting premise.

Two videos of Mika footage. At around 2:55 in the first video, she goes through Chun’s fireball with meter. I guess I was misinofrmed about her having the spend meter to go through a fireball?

I love how R.mika is like bitch what are you doing stop it!!! At the end of her victory pose lol.

I hope that if you bd you dodge aerial assist and by jumping dodge the two others.
If not that v-trigger will be nerfed to the ground so fast it will hurt.

lol Mika can kill setups while knocked down with her V trigger. 2nd video, 2nd match, end of 1st round. I was like “Wtf hit Vega?” Then I noticed.

Also hilarious Gootecks doesn’t waste any time using V skill or playing with normals. He just goes in.

Capcom did a great job with her, I wasn’t expecting that! The crying since SSFIV was legit in the end, she’s awesome and I don’t regret tweeting Ono so much. To think she was announced before Urien/Alex/Karin is another win too :smiley:
Combofiend showed a lot of interesting stuff I can’t wait to play her. I hope her flying peach kept its AA properties or that her AA grab is good without EX. She has it all for me so far, corner pressure, footsies and command grabs. Just want to see a damaging AA now !

I think it is near impossible to disagree with this when all things are considered. Even if you would prefer another character altogether (ones with less sexual pandering perhaps), you can’t deny how incredible Mika’s transition into SF5 is. She looks and animates great and has bucket loads of personality and charisma. She got what she deserved after the long haul.

I was told that they were actually planning reveal R.MIka at evo. Plans changed I guess.

Added Move List in the op.

I hope the second or third beta phase will have her playable.
Combofiend used st.MK a lot as a starter. Looks fast and has a decent range, I like it.

Thanks for the video.

I don’t think she goes trough the fireball, but over it.
She grabs Chun Li’s crouching medium punch (her slide low profile)
You can crouch under her front dropkick assist (or low profile it, at least)
And we can see her crouching Heavy Punch, which looks like her old one.

Wouldn’t it be fun if Mika’s “alternate costume” allows you to control Nadeshiko instead, and have Mika as the assist? XD

Some funny things going with Mika:

  • She is still affected by the tit jiggle “bug” on the P2 side
  • Her boobs go through her left arm (just like Birdie’s chain clipping)
  • When Mika open her mouth on the character select screen - she doesn’t have a finished mouth texturing, you can see the backgrownd of the world map go ight through her neck
