"Modernized" doesn't have to mean 'not stylized' / 'boring', but that's unimportant. (edit: added relevant quote from last page) The real question is: Was she fun to play in alpha? | ||

Many things can be said of R. Mika's (and the real wrestlers) appearance, but singling her out like some sort of fantasy character of a basement dwelling virgin is hypocritical. When was the last time you saw a british special forces unit clad in thong leotards? | ||

(There is a wider discussion to be had about these things, but I don't feel like this is the thread for it.) I just want to find out if she's fun to play mechanics wise. I guess I'm gonna have to dig up some dusty SRK A3-threads. I hear she looks like she has a lot of her original stuff in. | ||

Her voice that accompanied that made it all the more rage-inducing. I thought R. Mika was better off staying in Alpha 3 then forgotten, her character design is as ridiculous as it was back then (it's basically the same). She must have made another appearance in a crossover game (that I didn't play) if she still has the popularity to make this resurgence. Hope she didn't take Zangief's place on the initial roster :/ Guess we'll be seeing Karin too. Hope they keep her original cool demeanor instead of making her into a raging and spoiled brat like in the Udon comics. But I prefer they bring back plenty other characters (like way more) before that happens, as her playstyle wasn't particularly fun to begin with. From what I've always heard, Capcom doesn't actually own the rights to Karin. She was co-developed with an outside party and effectively licensed for Alpha 3. I don't know the details and can't confirm the authenticity of that though. People have been screaming for Karin in every game since A3 (same with R. Mika). | ||

Who or what the hell are you referring to here? Her outfit may be a bit extreme but as far as character archetypes she is NOT that weird at all.... I'm really confused about all of this hate. I don't give a fuck about all the fan service and silliness about dat ass and all that, but some of the negative reactions are baffling. And the little gameplay we saw looked pretty sick IMO, which is what should matter. | ||

I'm guessing Sodom + Sim + Gief for returning fighters, Akuma as ensured early DLC dollars, 3S chars later. | ||

Anyways, I was hoping this would change a bit after like 20 years, but I guess not. Stupid stylistic decisions aside, her actual moveset already looks hilarious and rage-inducing. I hope she becomes the Fuerte of SF5. | ||

In Street Fighter comics, Fuerte watches Mika on Television, he's her biggest fan. https://i.imgur.com/CMgA39T.jpg Also, I would not talk about the leaked list if they didn't get Birdie and Mika right, which NOBODY could have guessed. Birdie being literally one of the least popular character ever. | ||

Still creepy as fuck. And way more creepy than cammy. Reminds me hella lot of when Dragon's Crown came out: http://kotaku.com/game-developers-really-need-to-stop-letting-teenage-boy-472724616 and the follow up http://kotaku.com/the-real-problem-with-that-controversial-sexy-video-ga-478120280 Not that anyone here seems to care enough about the issue. | ||

As far as chars are concerned, after 20 years of cammy, mika looks totally reasonable anyway. cant wait to play more of the beta, gonna try some Nash next. It goes live again tonight right? | ||
