Video game developer Capcom has officially revealed the next character that will be available on the roster of "Street Fighter V." Fanboys will be happy to know that it is none other than the female wrestler herself, Rainbow Mika.
R. Mika, as she is commonly known by gamers, has made only one other appearance in the Street Fighter game series, namely, "Street Fighter Alpha 3". Although Mika's appearance gamewise was short, the grappler has gained a cult following over the years.
According to the Playstation Blog, Mika has long idolized the Russian Red Tornado Zangief and took up wrestling in the hopes of becoming a star much like Zangief. After strict training from her coach, Mika soon started to travel the world in hopes of finding street fighters who will help hone her wrestling skills.
However, Mika is not alone in this journey, as she is accompanied by her tag team partner Nadeshiko, who will assist Mika in any way possible. Comicbook.com states that being able to ask for help from Nadeshiko is an important factor if gamers want to win with Rainbow Mika.
Mika is considered a grappler mix up fighter who will try and keep the match in close quarters while attempting to make her opponent guess what she will do next. To keep Mika's opponents guessing, she is equipped with several moves and combos that will help her in her quest to become a great wrestler.
The first of these moves is called Mic Performance, where Mika takes her trusty microphone and talks to the audience at hand, which will make her normal and special throws more powerful the longer she talks. Opponents can try to hit her out of this, but be warned that Mika can shrug off one hit from her adversaries before getting knocked out of her Mic Performance. Then, she can throw the microphone at them.
Mika's V-Trigger move will call in her tag time partner to come in any combination of three different angles, confusing the opponent and allowing Mika to follow up attacks at will. Mika will also have an arsenal of throws, slams and other wrestling moves to hurt the other world warriors.
With Mika having been revealed, many fans are saying that her idol, Zangief, will most likely be the next character to join "Street Fighter V." For those who haven't seen Rainbow Mika's trailer, you can check it out here.
