For the record, there have been a few other character announcements for SF5 that I have not covered them here because I don’t consider them “newsworthy” (it’s a no-brainer that Ken is in). Getting to see R.Mika again however, is pretty unexpected after such a long time!
It looks like now instead of having a huge wrestling ring appear to jump off of (Alpha3) she simply has a tag team partner that comes in for certain moves. This is a nice way to continue her tradition of dragging corny and unorthodox wrestling elements into a street fight, while also fitting into the game better in my opinion. The wrestling ring was hillarious but it really worked better as a cartoony hand-drawn sprite. In 3d it would be a little weird.
Mother of God…
