R. Mika has a few work out tips for you. They’re pretty good! They also turn her into an absolute monster.
When R. Mika was originally announced, the Capcom detailed her special “Mic Performance” V-Skill—she basically pulls out a microphone and gives you a little motivational speech. It’s a skill that beefs up her throws.
More recently, though, Khaos Gaming got a look at what happens if you actually let R. Mika finish her monologue, and the results are as hilarious as they are devastating:
Here’s a partial transcript of what she’s saying:
“Hey! First thing you do is hit the cardio! Next thing, go for full on strength training! Don’t do any less than three sets a day! Make sure to change your routine daily! You’ll be all muscle! I guarantee it!”
I love her dialogue here—she’s so earnest! And while I think it’ll be rare for normal players to pull this off, it’s cool to see just how much the dialogue buffs R. Mika up. You’ll note that she can almost one-hit-kill Ryu at full health. It’s ridiculous. Everyone else’s V-Skill seems boring by comparison, at least in my opinion.
Between this and the booger thing, Street Fighter V’s humor is very on-point.
