Earlier, Siliconera reported that Alex and Urien from Street Fighter III would be part of the playable roster in Street Fighter V. Now, we can confirm two more characters: Karin Kanzuki and R. Mika from the Alpha series.



Karin made her first appearance in a Street Fighter spin-off manga starring Sakura. She made her playable debut in Street Fighter Alpha 3, and was then included in Capcom Fighting Evolution as well.



Meanwhile, R. Mika, too, made her first appearance in Street Fighter Alpha 3. She hasn’t been featured in any of Capcom’s fighters following that game.

[Neiteio]

Very nice!

 

[akachan ningen]

Good

 

[Thores]

Oh shit, that would make that one rumor list true.

But Ken Bogard disagreed with that list? And he cited R. Mika's inclusion as the reason.

 

[ActuallyHulk]

K-Karin-chan....

 

[Beelzebufo]

Oh shit. I hate both these characters, but that's still cool. You better not be wrong!

 

[60EffPeeEss]

Begging for Karin and R. Mika should be punishable by death.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

What the hell is their source?

 

[Man God]

Now that is a rumor worth buying a PS4 for.

 

[TreIII]

Would be here for Karin. But of course, let's see if that's true, first.

[Scientist Supreme!]

Hmm. I'm interested in seeing what R.Mika looks like and how people will respond to her.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Please Confirm Ken goddamnit

Spoiler

super fucking hype for Karin

 

[Ferrio]

Even more characters people were thinking were going to make it. Hell I called Karin at that teaser splash screen they released at E3.

 

[I-hate-u]

Damn Capcom, call a plumber cause we drowining in them leaks.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

I'm glad they seem to be mixing things out for SFV. My concern was that this was just going to be SFIV-2, seeing these lineup rumors is making me feel different about that

 

[pizzacat]

That article reminded me how irrelevant these characters are again. I have a feeling people just want them for a certain reason

 

[Tizoc]

What the hell is their source?

This.
Alex and Urien are somewhat believable but this is stretching it @_@

 

[Xav]

 

[IntelliHeath]

What the hell is their source?

Their source is more likely to be leaked list that have been floating around the internet lately.

 

[mreddie]

Not falling for it, I WANT TO SEE THE RECEIPTS

 

[GuardianE]

This is way more interesting if true. Bring on the blondes.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

lemme see dat SFV Juri now

 

[ShinAmano]

Please Confirm Ken goddamnit

Spoiler

super fucking hype for Karin

Ken is the only other character I care about at this point.

 

[djplaeskool]

FLYING PEACHES FOR EVERYONE

IIRC, Mika and Karin are rivals, so getting them both in make sense.
Hope we're not getting taken for a ride, however. Mika was maybe the only really technical character I was decent with.

 

[Ferrio]

Honestly I despise R.Mika. I really hope she gets some kinda redesign because her original outfit is really really stupid.

Also she better still be voiced by the Naruto voice actress.

 

[Producer]

siliconera pls.

 

[Moonlight]

Karin is hype.

 

[HarryKS]

What pornstar did they use as inspiration for R. Mika?

 

[Beelzebufo]

R. Mika now weighs 400 pounds and is half evil robot.

 

[GuardianE]

Their source is more likely to be leaked list that have been floating around the internet lately.

Generally I think Siliconera has their own sources when they make claims like this.

 

[Mik317]

yissssss

 

[The Bankslammer]

taking this with a grain of salt but

hell yeah give me karin

 

[Kouichi]

Their source is more likely to be leaked list that have been floating around the internet lately.

How reliable is Siliconera anyways? Are they really the type of site to just post any old rumor?

Maybe the person who made that leak list is their "source" instead of the list itself

 

[sixteen-bit]

 

[entremet]

So basically all the Alpha and 3rd Strike characters that missed SFIV?

 

[delSai]

Aren't there some licensing/legal issues with Karin?
Cool if true tho, it's good to see characters that people are asking for.

 

[direct_quote]

Honestly I despise R.Mika. I really hope she gets some kinda redesign because her original outfit is really really stupid.

Also she better still be voiced by the Naruto voice actress.

Yah never liked R.Mika and don't understand the love for her. Did anyone even play her?

 

[ShinMaruku]

I don't believe either of dem leaks.

 

[GuardianE]

Oh shit, that would make that one rumor list true.

But Ken Bogard disagreed with that list? And he cited R. Mika's inclusion as the reason.

Which rumor list? And is Ken Masters on it?

 

[Gren]

Well, if the rumors are true for the four, I hope that makes the masses happy.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Good to see them pulling from Alpha.

 

[Thores]

Which rumor list? And is Ken Masters on it?

This rumor list from a few weeks ago that the Siliconera claims are lining up very conveniently with:

-Ryu
-Chun-Li
-M.Bison
- Nash
- Cammy
- Birdie
- R.Mika
- Zangief
- Dhalsim
- Juri
- Karin
- Ken
- Urien
- Alex
- Laura (New character from Brazil)
- Rashid (New character from Africa)
- Zen (New character from India)
- New Boss

Well, for what is worth, Siliconera are the ones that leaked FF7 Remake would be announced at E3 so

 

[Nyoro SF]

I know Siliconera has hit some rumors on the money but I would need to see further proof.

 

[Robot Pants]

Seems like a waste of two slots to me.

 

[spindashing]

At this point, I would be surprised of R. Mika wasn't included in this game.

That Kuma outfit has to lead to something, lol.

Karin would be pretty sweet too.

She's the only female grappler in the series. Not that hard to understand why people like her.

 

[direct_quote]

I'd be pretty dissapointed if we didn't get a FF rep...
