Street Fighter Alpha 3/R. Mika

From SuperCombo Wiki

Introduction

Rainbow Mika, a fan of Zangief, is a rookie wrestler who is ready to make a name for herself by traveling the world and participate in the street fighting circuit. In the end, she gains the patronage of Karin after a surprise defeat, meets her idol Zangief, and was sought by the IJWPW (Iwashigahama Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling).

Pros Cons
  • Slide is incredibly fast with a lot of range
  • A lot of her normals have deceptively large amounts of priority, particularly c. FP
  • Several normals move her forward during the animation, which can help with positioning
  • f. MK has low crush properties and is cancellable into her run super
  • c. MP is a great anti-air at close range
  • Punch command grab will hop over lows and can be used in strings
  • Grab super recovers nearly instantly and allows her to punish even if they jump out in the corner
  • Run super lets her get decent damage off a variety of situations with multiple follow-up options
  • Good set of custom combos
  • Air grab does full damage when teched
  • Slide is very unsafe on block
  • Awkward normals make it difficult to play footsies in match-ups where slide is too risky
  • Poor anti-air from further away
  • Specials are largely unsafe or gimmicky
  • Awful BnBs without meter
  • Kick command grab has the same range as a normal grab if done without a kara
  • No meterless reversal option
  • Customs do good damage, but have poor meter build options at the end

Normals

Ground Normals

  • Standing Jab:
Damage 6 Mika 5lp.png
Stun 2
Chain Cancel No
Special Cancel Yes
Super Cancel Yes
Meter on whiff/hit 0/1
Frame Count 6/3/7
Block Stun +4
Hit Stun/Counter Hit +5/+10
  • Good button to just throw out. Decent priority, and starts combos as an anti-air thanks to qcb+k or with CCs.


  • Standing Strong
Damage 14 Mika 5mp.png
Stun 13/4
Chain Cancel No
Special Cancel Yes(first hitbox on V-ism)
Super Cancel Yes(first hitbox)
Meter on whiff/hit 1/3(A)4(XV)
Frame Count 8/10/13
Block Stun -4
Hit Stun/Counter Hit -3/+1
  • 10 frames active makes this move a very easy meaty. The priority is great but it's very lenghty overall so take care in whiffing this.


  • Standing Fierce:
Damage 18 Mika 5hp.png
Stun 8
Chain Cancel No
Special Cancel No
Super Cancel No
Meter on whiff/hit 1/4(A)6(XV)
Frame Count 18/4/11
Block Stun +8
Hit Stun/Counter Hit +9/Launch
  • At +8 on block, this makes for a really good meaty. Lenghty start-up makes this hard to use on neutral.
  • Links into cr.hk on normal hit. on counter hit and in the corner, it is possible to do st.lp xx qcb+k
  • Can kara cancel into any of her specials. This is specially important for her command grab, as it gives it a much needed range increase.
    • The input for the kara cancel is 41236HP98K. It doesn't need to be frame adjacent, there is a lot of leniency.


  • Standing Short:
Damage 6 Mika 5lk.png
Stun 2
Chain Cancel No
Special Cancel Yes
Super Cancel Yes
Meter on whiff/hit 0/1
Frame Count 6/3/5

Frame Count 10/4/14
Block Stun +1
Hit Stun/Counter Hit +2/+6
  • Note: Low crush from frames 10 to 19

  • Standing Roundhouse:
Damage 16 Mika 5hk.png
Stun 8
Chain Cancel No
Special Cancel No

Stun 1
Chain Cancel Yes
Special Cancel Yes
Super Cancel Yes
Meter on whiff/hit 0/1
Frame Count 6/4/8
Block Stun +2
Hit Stun/Counter Hit +3/+8
  • Her most important light. Chains into all other lights and can't be crouched compared to st.lp.

Meter on whiff/hit 2/3(A)4(XV)
Frame Count 7/1/20

Special Cancel No
Super Cancel No
Meter on whiff/hit 2/4(A)6(XV)
Frame Count 7/6/27
Block Stun -10
Hit Stun/Counter Hit -

Air Normals

  • Neutral Jump Jab:
Damage 8 Mika 8lp.png
Stun 2
Meter on whiff/hit 0/1
Frame Count 6/6/4
  • Quick air-to-air

Damage 8 Mika 9lp.png

Meter on whiff/hit 0/1
Frame Count 7/6/8
  • Not particularly useful compared to her other jump-ins


  • Neutral Jump Strong:
Damage 13 Mika 8mp.png
Stun 4
Meter on whiff/hit 1/3(A)4(XV)
Frame Count 7/6/8
  • Hits more upwards than it looks


  • Diagonal Jump Strong:
Damage 13 Mika 9mp.png|
Stun 4
Meter on whiff/hit 1/3(A)4(XV)
Frame Count 6/6/8
  • Solid priority, useful for when j.hp or j.hk would lose to an anti air for being too slow.


  • Neutral Jump Fierce:
Damage 17 Mika 8hp.png
Stun 8
Meter on whiff/hit 1/4(A)6(XV)
Frame Count 8/6/10
  • Solid air-to-air but somewhat slow.
  • Diagonal Jump Fierce:
Damage 17 Mika 9hp.png
Stun 8
Meter on whiff/hit 1/4(A)6(XV)
Frame Count 8/6/8
  • Best jump-in in terms of hitbox, but not very good horizontal range. Great at stuffing most anti airs however.


  • Neutral/Diagonal Jump Short:
Damage 6 Mika 89lk.png
Stun 2
Meter on whiff/hit 0/1
Frame Count 5/8/10
  • Great counter hit fisher. Blazing fast at 5 frames so you can win a lot of scrambles with it.


  • Neutral Jump Forward:
Damage 11 Mika 8mk.png
Stun 4
Meter on whiff/hit 1/3(A)4(XV)
Frame Count 7/4/11
  • Really good horizontal hitbox, which is otherwise a weak spot for her jumping attacks


  • Diagonal Jump Forward:
Damage 11 Mika 9mk.png
Stun 3
Meter on whiff/hit 1/3(A)4(XV)
Frame Count 7/4/8
  • Same uses as Neutral Jumping Forward


  • Neutral Jump Roundhouse:
Damage 17 Mika 8hk.png
Stun 8
Meter on whiff/hit 1/4(A)6(XV)
Frame Count 9/4/20
  • Very good horizontal priority but comes out really slowly compared to her other options, sadly.


  • Diagonal Jump Roundhouse:
Damage 17 Mika 9hk.png
Stun 8
Meter on whiff/hit 1/4(A)6(XV)
Frame Count 9/4/12
  • Very far reaching jump-in. Can always combo into slide if if hit deep enough, so catching an extended limb can still mean a knockdown.

Command Normals

  • Rainbow Sobat: f+MK
Damage 11 Mika 6mk.png
Stun 4
Chain Cancel No
Special Cancel Yes
Super Cancel Yes
Meter on whiff/hit 1/3(A)4(XV)
Frame Count 13/4/14
Block Stun +1
Hit Stun/Counter Hit +2/+6
  • Note: Low crush from frames 10 to 20
  • A low crush that moves forward, great on that alone. Recovers more slowly compared to st.mk to compensate.
  • Can cancel into super which is a great thing to have in a low crush to put more threath behind it.


  • Knee Drop Jumping d+LK
Damage 6 Mika j2lk.png
Stun 2
Meter on whiff/hit 0/1
Frame Count 6/3/11
  • Okay-ish jump-in, but overlaps a bit with j.lp, and doesnt have that good of a priority.


  • Flying Body Press: Jumping f+HP
Damage 17 Mika j2hp.png
Stun 8
Meter on whiff/hit 1/4(A)6(V)
Frame Count 8/8/9
  • Typical grappler body press. Awesome cross-up, but pron to be anti aired due to its poor priority. Definetly no Gief, but still a great option.

The Basics

Which Ism?

A-Ism

Easy VC with good damage. Generally her best option.

X-Ism

Loses access to her important level 1 and 2 supers. Avoid.
