Great article on R.Mika:

Should help SJW put the character in the correct context.

Hi !

Being an average Street Fighter player, I don't see her as a wasted slot, though she's not the most demanded, there still a lot of room for others, to be honest I've never seen or played her in my life but to include her IS a manner to make her exist more actually, her only belonging to one SF game before
And seriously fanservice ? I could tell this for almost any Street Fighter female character if fanservice was just putting more girls in a fighting game just for the male audience, but it is not because you put one more girly character to the roster that it is fanservice, fanservice is more explicit and goes more forward an is more obvious.
To be brief, to me it is a returning and extra character, therefore a good thing globally, don't be so agressive with that guys :)

Yes and thats the reason it was a bad idea bringing her back. A stupid fanservice character people just want for there ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boobs and her ♥♥♥♥ butt. We have so many great character designs and people want a stupid ♥♥♥♥♥.

So Capcom bringing back a character that is high in popularity votes is a bad thing? I don't think so, if anything it will boost sales. But why cancel a pre-order over 1 character, makes you sound entitled and that everything has to be your way. We still have 3 new characters to come as well as 4 returning characters. Then they are gonna be continually updating the game with new characters every so often. Also kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥ that you have to come onto a forum just to say "OH I HATE THIS CHARACTER I BETTER CANCEL MY PRE-ORDER WAAA WAA"

Somewhat ironically, I am more influenced than ever to pre-order based on R. Mika alone.

I really played Alpha3 a long time and I watched the japanese streams too ( yes they still have tournaments for that game over there) and like I said,the only time I saw Mika was as I got her on Random Select by accident. Thats why I'm pretty pissed about her. She's a fanservice character and not even a highly played one like the other ones,she's the one in the corner noone will play. But as long she has bigger tits than Rose or Poison and a bigger ass than anybody else, the male part of the FGC want's her,especially the asian part of the community.

Sex appeal is a valid strategy, especially given the vast majority of fighting game players are male.

Women with large breasts exist. People comfortable with their sexuality exist too. I'm sorry if this bothers you. These people should also get a chance to be represented. Besides a bit of fanservice won't hurt anyone. Mika was teased for Ultra, but never arrived.

Your "I've played this for years on GGPO" statement is meaningless. Alpha 3 has been out for... how long? (I'm not even going to look it up.) The game hasn't been balanced in quite a long time. I'm sure some characters have become completely worthless in that time. The meta has evolved. Many games on Fightcade are like that. Some characters have become pointless.

"No one plays her" isn't really valid either. That's all the more reason to bring her back. Her gameplay was redesigned. I'm sure people will be playing her this time around.

I don't think any character is really a wasted slot as all characters added are characters people like and play, new characters are just the same. The thing I have noticed with SF IV is how many of the same characters we have. Counting Ryu, Ken, Evil Ryu, Akuma, Oni, Gouken, Dan, and Sakura, there were eight shoto style characters. Counting Zangief, Abel, Hugo, El Fuerto, and Hakkan, there were five wrestling characters...lots of characters but not the most variety.

Did you notice how many non-shotos have shoto moves lol Example, Dudley's uppercut lol

So far I like the SF V roster for it's variety:

Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Cammy, Mika, M.Bison, Vega, Nash, Birdie, Nicalli

Each one is a very different fighter, totally different styles, so this so far is a really cool roster actually, and we have 6 more to come! So it'll be interesting to see what past characters are left and the new characters exclusive to SF V.

Not if Alex does, Capcom wants to limit how many characters from any said discipline make the first 16, they want a representative of each archetype.

He could make it later as DLC if fan demand is high enough, though it would be better if Capcom stops riding the SFII roster so hard.

I'm becoming increasingly fond of the current roster...I think part of it is acceptance. I haven't play Akuma for like two months, I've only been playing Ryu. People need to accept that SF V is going to be a different game. They're actually making a roster with different characters this time. Maybe...just maybe, we'll see a little more variety online because of this.

I'm becoming anti-DLC, as I'd kind of like to see people use the characters that come with the game. If there are a million DLCs we'll have the same battles as we did on SF IV -_-

Remeber, we can't really opt-out of gameplay DLC this time (characters) because the assests are added for free when they release it (I imagine automatically). They're just locked until you meet some in-game requirement to play them for free, or purchase them.

Capcom sucks at making characters. They have a beautiful roster of unique and interesting characters in the EX series that they continuously ignore. Volcano rosso, Skullomania, D.dark, Area etc.

Name D.Dark once more and you have a lifelong probleme with me.
Also belongs the EX serie not to Capcom so they can't use these characters.

Arika properties, not capcom.

That's like demanding they use more X-men characters in SFV. They need permission for that, and they have to pay money to the ip holders.

If Mika is in SFV then El Fuerte must also be in SFV.

We might see him again.

Fighting him is a hilarious experience.

SFV doesn't work that way, It's the opposite.

Because we have R.Mika, we probably won't see El Fuerte.

Capcom wants to keep gameplay archetype representation limited to 1 character. R.Mika's reveal nearly de-confirms El Fuerte.

Really? Then I guess I will be waiting for Ultra Street Fighter V, hoping that El Fuerte will be playable by then.
