Street Fighter V developer Capcom confirms that the upcoming title will also include fan favorite character Rainbow Mika. Besides the announcement, a gameplay video, some saucy screenshots, as well as actual details have also been shared about R. Mika.

Street Fighter V got its first reveal at the beginning of the year, and since then, developer Capcom has shared more and more details about the fighting game, while confirming the new and returning characters that will make up its roster.

In between organizing the upcoming global test phase beta for Street Fighter V, the Japanese company has also confirmed yet another returning fighter that will join the already decent roster, in the form of R. Mika.

The attractive female combatant, who first appeared way back in Street Fighter Alpha 3, brings a suite of special abilities and moves to the upcoming game. She can dazzle opponents with high-flying acrobatics that pack a serious punch. What's more, as a unique modifier, she can summon her tag-team partner Nadeshiko to aid in combat.

According to Capcom's announcement, via PS blog, players who control Mika can switch things up and keep on attacking foes until they're defeated.

"By calling Nadeshiko at the right time using R. Mika’s V-Trigger ability, you’ll be able to setup sneaky attacks and punishing command grab mix-ups that are sure to knock the stuffing out of your opponent. Players who enjoy close-combat guessing games and striking fear into the hearts of opponents will find R. Mika an absolute delight to play," the studio explains.

The aforementioned V-Trigger move lets Mika summon Nadeshiko to perform one of three different attacks, depending on how you want to maneuver your opponent.

Mika's V-Skill is called Mic Performance, which allows her to give a monolog to the crowd by holding the buttons pressed down. Your normal and special throws get more and more powerful depending on how long your monolog was. During this time, she is also able to absorb one hit from the opponent.
