R. Mika Confirmed for Street Fighter V

ARE YOU READY?

It’s time to know your role and shut your mouth, as finally…Rainbow Mika has come back to Street Fighter!  With the release of Street Fighter V in spring 2016, the mighty masked female wrestler will re-enter the squared circle for the first time since her debut over fifteen years ago in Street Fighter Alpha 3.  So what’cha gonna do when you view the trailer below and Mikamania runs wild on you?

In addition to the reveal trailer, Capcom has released details about Mika’s playstyle.  Her V-Skill, Mic Performance, produces a microphone so the boisterous bruiser can deliver a rousing speech to the crowd.  During this state, her normal and special throws become more powerful the longer the buttons are held.  Mika also has armor capable of absorbing one hit while in the midst of her monologue, and can thrown the mic at opponents when cancelled.  Mika’s V-Trigger summons Yamato Nadeshiko, her tag team partner, to deliver a high flying strike from a variety of different angles, depending on the direction held during the move input.  And her V-Reversal?  Totally a Stone Cold Stunner…

So prepare for even more outdated classic wrestling references as this flashy feminine fighter proves that she’s still better than the best.  And that’s the bottom line, because R. Mika SAID SO.

(…yes, I may have had entirely too much fun writing this…)
