Overview

Backstory

She comes. Escaping from her tedious routine. Surpassing fetters. Across the sky. Swim the ocean. Climbs mountains. Finally arrives this place Never to lose the beloved friend again. Walks with her inbent wish. With her desire charged in the fist. She exerts everything. To somewhere very far.

Mika is a part of Orie's Executor squad, and is considered one of the strongest combatants the Leicht Kreiss has to offer. Despite this, she holds the extremely low rank of Tenth Executor, due to getting one point off on every question of her written test. As punishment, she was kept in HQ, but managed to "escape" from her superiors and make her way to the city the events of UNIST revolve around right at the start of UNIST's arcade mode.

Playstyle

Mika is a high mobility pseudo-grappler. Rather than being a slowly advancing wall like Waldstein, Tager, or Kanji, Mika wants to use her speed and air movement to stick to her opponent.

Strengths/Weaknesses

Strengths	Weaknesses
Good ground speed Reversal action covers a decent chunk of vertical real estate Her 2C moves her forward by *a lot*, making confirms at max range super easy Can punish with command grabs at longer distance than other grapplers 5P assist passes through opponent, allowing you to set up Cross Combo mixups easily. Advanced combos have decent corner carry	Stubby range, especially since her 5A uses the animation of her UNIST 2A without the benefit of being a low. Has the most damaging super grab in the game, but the range is extremely small, and the timing is somewhat strict. Lacks quick overhead options. Only mixups are lows and command grabs.

Normal Moves

5A

5A 2A 5C 2C Dash C

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 5A 1000 All 6 4 13 -3 Although the animation is taken from Mika's 2A in UNIST, this does not hit low. This is a 6 frame jab and should be used in places a jab would be used, this is not her ideal combo starter or neutral poke. This move may be jump canceled on block. Only 5A and 2A can be jump canceled on block. 5A has great use in pressure has Mika due to its fast startup and ability to be jump canceled. This move is also a great defensive tool as many jabs are, however it's range is pitiful, and using it as a starter will gimp her damage rather severely making it a less than stellar button in neutral. Use but do not abuse. 5AA 1500 All 10 3 18 -4 Combo filler. 5AAA 1700 All 13 4 26 -11 Brings airborne opponents to the ground. Very useful in combo extensions. 5AAAA 2500 All 19 10* (30+)8L -21 If you pressed this button... Go back. You made a mistake. Unlike the move this animation was taken from in UNIST, where it was a Dash attack, this does not hit overhead.

5B

5B 5B 5BB 3B

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 5B 1500 All 9 6 16 -5 A decent poke to use in neutral 5BB 1700 All 11 6 24 -11 Shares animation with 5BB from UNIST, but does not wallbounce like the version in that game Frame trap against a decent portion of the cast, can force mix-up situations with 214A. 5BBB 1700 All 13 Until hit+2 (14+)16L -14 Treated as airborne Special cancellable into j236A/B You can't get much off of this, so you won't see it used often.

5C

5C "Taco Bell!"	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 800+ High 26 3 18 -4 Has same hitbox as j.B, which is decently large. That's about the only notably thing about this move. Useful as an occasional mixup, since Mika doesn't have any grounded overheads otherwise.

2A

2A Mind your feet!	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 1000 Low 7 5 15 -6 Slides forward slightly A standard low. Can be used to tick into Mika-chan Hip Strike.

2B

2B Suprise! :D	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 1700 All 11 4 22 -7 Anti-air move; upper body invulnerable Surprisingly good hitbox on this Detailed description of the usefulness of the move go here

2C

2C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 1700 Low 15 10 18 -9 Moves Mika forward a good distance A far reaching low and useful filler in many of Mika's combos. In neutral, 2C can function as an occasional yolo option to start combos. On block, you can Reverse Beat into something less committal like 2A.

j.A

j.A	Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. j.A 1500 High 10 6 14 - Mika's fastest air normal Decent-ish as an air-to-air, but you don't want to go around trying to bop people out of the air with it. j.AA 500*4 All 5 2(4)2(2)2(4)3 24 - Last hit does more hitstun Combo fodder, basically.

j.B

j.B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 1500 High 14 6 29 - Hitbox is deceptively large, extends horizontally past Mika's fists Kind of slow, but is Mika's best jump-in normal due to being somewhat disjointed.

j.C

j.C YOLO

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 1700*2 High, All 15 Until L+4 (18+)11L -14 Hits on the way down as well as upon landing Cannot be special or super cancelled. While the move is -14, it can be very difficult to punish if blocked as Mika will bounce backwards away from the opponent upon landing. This move is primarily used as a combo ender for meterless air confirms or as a filler with an assist.

Universal Moves

Ground Throw

Ground Throw 5B+C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 2000 Throw 7-30 3 23 - Mika runs forward a short distance and performs a grab Can combo afterward Mika's run speed makes this decently strong as a mixup.

Mika-chan Tornado

Mika-chan Tornado 5A+D (air OK)

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Ground 1200*3 Air Unblockable 15 4, 6, 4 22L - Hits in front of and behind her Leaps up nearly to the top of the screen, making this decent as an anti-air in an awkward situation Detailed description of the usefulness of the move go here Air 1200*3 All 10 4, 6, 4 Until L+22L - Important points go here Detailed description of the usefulness of the move go here

Skills

Mika-chan Missile

Mika-chan Missile 236A/B (air OK)

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Ground A 1800 All 16 20 3+9L -18 Travels straight forward Passes through opponent, allowing for easy crossups with assists. You can use this to advance towards the opponent, but you really don't want to. Mika's already decently speedy on the ground, meaning this is a combo tool and nothing else. Ground B 1800 All 16 20 12+9L - Travels upward at an angle Mika can act in the air after performing this DBFZ players might be familiar with moves like this; after you launch yourself into the air, you can come down immediately with an air normal. Air A 1800 All 13 20 12+9L - Travels straight forward Useful as a movement tool, and has uses in combos Air B 1800 All 13 20 Until L+14L - Travels downward at an angle Covered by an assist, this allows you to approach the enemy at a somewhat unusual angle. Followup Can be done in any angle Straight down will knock opponent down on hit A decent way to end meterless combos, due to the knockdown.

Mika-chan Cannon

Mika-chan Cannon 214A/B

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. A 0, 3200 Throw 24 3 35 - Jumps forward a short distance, and will catch opponents slightly off the ground. Can combo into this Calling an assist and switching before this move connects can be a good mixup, and will give you a full combo. B 0, 3700 Throw 28 3 35 - Jumps forward a short distance, and will catch opponents slightly off the ground. Can combo into this Because of the distance she jumps forward, this can be used when you read a pushblock to get a punish.

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Ground 1800 All 16 20 3+9L -18 Travels straight forward Can be followed up 3 times using A/B/C + Direction Detailed description of the usefulness of the move go here Air 1800 All 13 20 Until L+9L - Travels straight forward Can be followed up 3 times using A/B/C + Direction The most advantageous way to end this move is with the 2A/B/C followup, as it will knock down.

EX Mika-chan Cannon 214C Swiggity swooty, gimme dat booty	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 0, 4000 Throw 26 3 35 - Will jump nearly full-screen Only version of command grab that leads to a combo (Corner only) You can't escape. Just look at those gorilla arms!

Partner Skills

4P

4P UNI 5[C] Banana slamma!	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 1700 All (18)+13 4 26 -11 Will knock the opponent into the air on hit If you do a switch immediately after this hits, Mika can continue the combo.

5P

5P Mika-chan Missile	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 2000 All (18)+13 16 4+9L -6 Passes through opponent Because this assist will pass through the opponent, you can activate cross combo afterward for a "free" cross combo sandwich. Just be careful not to use this assist again during the cross-combo, as she'll just pass through again. (Though if you cross-up as well you can be tricky with this)

6P

6P Mika's FF	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 1700*2 All (18)+40 Until L+5 36+12L -20 Jumps up slightly before attacking Because Mika jumps into the air, she can avoid many attacks during the startup. This makes this assist decent during pressure, as even if you get counterhit Mika may still get her hit in.

Distortion Skills

Mika-chan Revolution

Mika-chan Revolution 236B+C (air OK) This hand of mine glows with an awesome power!

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Ground 2000, 150*17, 3000 [2200, 180*21, 3000] All 6+4 12(25)Until L 33+16L -31 Pretty standard combo ender super. There's not much to say about this one. If the initial hit is blocked or whiffs, Mika will still do an attack on the way down afterward. Air 2000, 150*17, 3000 [2200, 180*21, 3000] All 6+4 12(25)Until L 33+16L -31 Identical to ground version, but in the air. If the initial hit is blocked or whiffs, Mika will still do an attack on the way down afterward.

Mika-chan Hip Strike

Mika-chan Hip Strike 214B+C owo what's this?

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 0, 1700, 2000+, 2000+ [0, 1700, 2000+, 1300+, 650+*3] Throw 13+0 1 57 - Range is bad Need to get timing perfect to get max damage but is second highest damaging grab in Tag (Tager 720 being the highest) Frame 0 grab meaning they can't do anything post flash, so if someone wants to dodge it they need to jump beforehand. Reversal grab with pitiful range use it on wakeup if they try to meaty you. Also possible to frame trap after a blocked 5BBB string. Because Mika is so fast on the ground, sometimes you can just run up and YOLO with this.

Distortion Skill Duo

Mika-chan Revolution P during Main Character's Distortion Skill	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 100*18, 700 [100*22, 800] All 1+1 12(25)Until L 33+16L -31 Attacks at an upward angle Just like the solo version, this will hit again on the way down if the initial hit is blocked or whiffs.

Astral Heat

Mika-chan Galaxy 222B+C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. - - - - - - Starts with a hop grab like 214A/B If you land this, you win the round. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
