...so, who is R.Mika's partner?

[Redblaze27]

I played story mode mode and she is never shown on screen or ever mentioned by any character.

I can only assume this mean she does not actually exist is like R. Mika's psychic manifestation or something.

On the cover of the Capcom Secret File from the arcade version of Alpha 3, Mika is teamed up with a black haired female wrestler named Yamato Nadeshiko (a phrase which actually means the Japanese concept of the "perfect" woman), who works for the same wrestling organization as Mika.

But should've she have as much screentime in Mika's story as Azam has in Rashid's story?
And Azam isnt even playable (yet).

I'm finding this very confusing myself. Wouldn't Zangief comment on the silent woman who apparently follows Mika around or who appears exactly when Mika needs a tag partner? So many other characters (Karin's butler, Azam, Oro, etc) get screen time, where's Nadeshiko?

Wtf Capcom? How can the exclusion of characters "for story reasons" be justified if a key player is missing from the story?

[suronosuke]

aint she natsu from rival schools, u know that girl that uses bacsket ball to attack?

[mattx245]

The way they pronounce her parters name in the english va just irritates me. had to change to japanese becuase the pronounciation was so off lol

[Redblaze27]

I wouldn't been fine if she was relagated to the back and never said anything, but she cant even get that.

Yamato Nadeshiko; it's an ancient Japanese maymay relating to the idealized traditional Japanese woman, from appearance, dress, personality and etiquette.

Capcom has done this all the time; Effie accompanying Necro and Poison with Hugo in 3S. R. Mika's trainer, Harmageddon Yoko, would drive by on a golf cart holding a shinai to give her "mad props on that savage" in Alpha. Nadeshiko's first appearance was in a solitary piece of promotional art for Alpha 3:

Even then they were bumpin' butts. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

What I like is that this is the first time a secondary character has been adapted into the actual gameplay.

they should switch nadeshiko with zangief :)
