Rainbow Mika will now be taking her wrestling talents to "Street Fighter 5" as the newest character announced for the game.
For those who may be unfamiliar with Rainbow Mika, she is a fighter and as her background suggests, is well versed in the age-old arts of body slams, clotheslines, and all the other moves people know from the squared circle.
Rainbow Mika can owe a lot of what she is capable of doing in a fight to her fandom of Zangief, although she certainly has her own unique style unlike anything players have seen from the much more bruising combatant.
As for what exactly she can do in "Street Fighter 5," Rainbow Mika's V-Trigger ability will allow her to call her tag team partner Nadeshiko to the battlefield, according to Gamespot. Players who are able to successfully time the exact point at which they should call on Nadeshiko will benefit from doing so in the form of being able to execute some particularly devastating moves. There will be three different types of attacks that Nadeshiko can pull off, and they include two variations of a dropkick and one body splash.
As for her V-Skill, Rainbow Mika has what is known as the Microphone Ability, according to IGN. When using this skill, Rainbow Mika will pull out a microphone and begin to deliver a rousing promo in the middle of her fight. She can even withstand some attacks while delivering her speech; the longer the players commit to it, the stronger her attacks will be afterwards. If a player chooses to end Rainbow Mika's speech before she is done, she will instead fling the microphone at her opponent as a kind of attack.
Prior to "Street Fighter 5," Rainbow Mika's first and only other appearance for the franchise was in "Street Fighter Alpha 3."
