Fan favourite wrestler Rainbow Mika will be competing in Street Fighter 5, Capcom has announced. The cult character hasn’t been featured in a core roster since 1998’s Street Fighter Alpha 3.
She packs a tag-team partner for V-Trigger assists, a V-Skill move where she grabs a mic and revs up the audience, and one of the most NSFW outfits in the series’ history. Team Ninja would be proud.
You can check out her introductory trailer below. Here’s Capcom’s character description:
“As an aspiring young wrestler, Mika dreamed of one day becoming a star in the ring, much like her idol Zangief. Training under the strict tutelage of her coach, she traveled the world engaging in random matches with street fighters in order to spread her name and popularity. R. Mika’s wrestling prowess will be on full display in Street Fighter V, as she dazzles opponents with a wide variety of high-flying moves.”
“This time around, her wrestling tag-team partner Nadeshiko assists in the fight! By calling Nadeshiko at the right time using R. Mika’s V-Trigger ability, players will be able to set up sneaky attacks and punishing command grab mix-ups that are sure to deliver devastating amounts of damage. Players who enjoy putting on a stunning display of fear-inducing close-combat guessing games will find R. Mika a colorful and rewarding way to play.”
Street Fighter 5’s Beta is back up again after some technical issues, and runs until September 2. The full game’s set to drop early next year.
