Background

This dropdown contains the synopsis of R. Mika's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Pre-Street Fighter Since she was young, Mika Nanakawa aspired to shine in the world of Japanese professional wrestling, beginning her training early to pursue that goal. After finishing junior high, she advanced her dream by becoming the apprentice of Yoko Harmageddon. Following years of rigorous, intermittent training, she finally reached the point where she could debut as a professional wrestler. To promote herself, she devised a bold marketing strategy: traveling the globe and challenging various street fighters to showcase her skills. Street Fighter Alpha 3 During her promotional travels, R. Mika crosses paths with the legendary Zangief and ends up assisting him in his efforts to dismantle the Psycho Drive. Their involvement also leads to rescuing civilians alongside E. Honda, as noted in AAC. Afterward, Mika keeps pushing herself in her wrestling training, hoping to reunite with Zangief someday. At another point in her journey, Mika encounters Karin, and the two eventually battle. Karin is so impressed by Mika’s talent that she promises the support of the Kanzuki Zaibatsu once Mika becomes a top-tier wrestler. Six months after the Psycho Drive’s destruction, Zangief visits Mika at her home arena for a public exhibition match. Despite lasting nearly 20 minutes, Mika ultimately falls to his Final Atomic Buster. Even in defeat, she maintains deep admiration for him. Zangief acknowledges her determination, telling her that although she has a long road ahead, she’s making solid progress. Karin’s sponsorship of R. Mika is later confirmed in *Street Fighter Eternal*, reflecting Mika’s rise into the ranks of respected professional wrestlers. Street Fighter V In Street Fighter V, R. Mika returns as a playable character for the first time since Alpha 3, and her dialogue confirms that Karin continues to act as her sponsor. Mika reunites with Zangief in London, where they test each other’s progress in battle. Thrilled to see him again, she expresses her admiration, and he praises her development. Zangief then invites her to accompany him on his worldwide quest in search of “Muscle Spirit.” Though she has no idea what that means, her eagerness leads her to accept immediately. Later, during a stop in India, Mika catches Birdie stealing donuts. She quickly overpowers him and scolds him for lacking anything close to “Muscle Spirit,” only to realize—after Birdie questions her—that she doesn’t quite understand it herself. Birdie slips away during her moment of confusion, much to her annoyance. In Russia, Zangief convinces Mika to fight Laura before jumping into the ring himself. Mika watches proudly until she notices a bear wandering loose. Determined not to let the animal interrupt Zangief’s match—and wanting to protect her idol for once—she confronts it head-on. Just as she reaches her limit, Zangief steps in to finish the job. Mika feels discouraged by her perceived lack of progress, but Zangief assures her that facing the bear fearlessly proves she possesses Muscle Spirit. He tells her she has earned the honor of being his partner, which leaves her overjoyed. Later on, Mika encounters Ibuki at the Kanzuki Estate. What starts as a simple meeting quickly devolves into bickering, with Mika finding Ibuki arrogant for refusing to hear her out about “building muscle,” and Ibuki calling Mika overly energetic and demanding. The tension leads both of them to prepare for a fight. In the game’s primary story, R. Mika teams up with Zangief to battle Laura and Alex, though their match is stopped when Shadaloo activates the Black Moons. Mika later appears at the Kanzuki Estate arguing with Ibuki once again. Karin breaks up their squabble by stating she’ll only consider their involvement if they can act with confidence instead of constant bickering—prompting both to stop and insist that they are perfectly content. While infiltrating Shadaloo, Mika and Ibuki argue yet again before running into Balrog and Ed. Ibuki attempts to fight Balrog using her ninjutsu, but fails, and Mika’s efforts fare no better. When Ed prepares to unleash Psycho Power, Ibuki uses a smoke bomb to distract him long enough for them to retrieve their chess piece and regroup with Karin and Shibazaki. During their escape, they witness Zangief decisively defeat a brainwashed Abel with a Spinning Pile Driver; Mika is inspired, while Ibuki reacts with disgust. During the final attack on Shadaloo, Mika and Ibuki watch Zangief defeat Satsuki—one of the Dolls—after surviving a slash from her Murasame. Mika’s last appearance is alongside the other fighters observing Shadaloo’s downfall. R. Mika also appears in Dhalsim’s character story.

Appearance

General Description: R. Mika has a robust, curvy, and athletic build suited to professional wrestling. She has long blonde hair styled into two geometric pigtails with a side-fringed bang. Her blue eyes vary across outfits, suggesting they may be contact lenses that match each costume’s color theme. Her physique is a major part of her wrestling persona, and many of her techniques utilize her lower-body strength.

Facial Features: Mika’s blonde hair and expressive blue eyes contrast with the more common dark-haired designs seen among many Japanese Street Fighter characters. Her pigtails are animated more dynamically in Street Fighter V due to the shift to 3D modeling.

Clothing/Outfit:

• Primary Outfit (Street Fighter Alpha 3 / Street Fighter V): Blue and white lingerie-styled legless leotard with ruffled trim at the collar, sleeves, and leg openings; white bustier with heart motifs (blue hearts in Alpha 3, white heart in SFV); white stockings; blue wrestling boots.
• Street Fighter V Alternate Costume 1: Blue wrestling suit with a single long sleeve, similar in design to Zangief’s first alternate costume.
• Street Fighter V Alternate Costume 2: Phoenix-themed redesign of her primary outfit, using shades of red with feathered patterns incorporated into the mask and costume.
• Premium Swimsuit Costume (SFV): One-piece swimsuit with a white heart design on the chest and white side stripes, topped with a hoodie. Worn with blue “MIKA” bracelets on both arms and blue open-toed flip-flops. A hidden variation removes the hoodie entirely.

Special Features: Her appearance frequently emphasizes bold colors and dramatic silhouettes designed for showmanship in the ring. Her pigtails and heart motifs are consistent visual signatures across many of her outfits.

Alternate Forms/Disguises: Her phoenix-themed costume, wrestling-sleeve outfit, and swimsuit variant serve as stylistic redesigns rather than alternate forms.

Personality

• Temperament: Mika is an energetic and upbeat tomboy who throws herself into everything she does with enthusiasm. She enjoys performing, thrives on crowd excitement, and expresses her emotions openly despite her mask hiding her facial cues.

• Motivations: She aims to become a top-tier pro wrestler, looking up to Zangief as the model of what she hopes to be. Her drive is fueled by passion for wrestling and the desire to prove herself worthy of the spotlight.

• Combat Philosophy: Mika fights with boldness and theatrical flair, often charging straight into a match with confident declarations. Though her technique can be rough, she approaches every bout with full commitment and fearless determination.

• Social Behavior: She is outgoing, expressive, and friendly, keeping close ties with her fellow Iwashigahama wrestlers and treating training sessions as opportunities for camaraderie. Her distinctive way of speaking and honest reactions make her easy to read once she starts talking.

• Relationships: Mika deeply admires Zangief and follows his example in both spirit and fighting style. She is protective of her friends, demonstrated by stepping in to shield Ibuki even at personal risk.

• Personal Traits: Stubborn but brave, Mika consistently tackles challenges head-on and refuses to hold back. Her dedication, enthusiasm, and supportive nature define her both inside and outside the ring.

Goals

• Be the superstar of the ring (Ongoing).

Press the B button. The short kick is very quick, but does very little damage.

Medium Kick (FORWARD)

Press the A button. The forward kick is strong and is fairly quick.

Hard Kick (ROUNDHOUSE)

Press the R button. This roundhouse kick is powerful, but very slow.

Close Attacks

Close Attacks are special techniques which can only be used when two fighters are right next to each other. These techniques fall into two basic categories: THROWS and HOLDS.

Throws

Throws allow fighters to grab an opponent and toss them across the room. Some fighters can even do thorws in mid-air.

• Example: It is possible for Ryu to grab Ken and throw him over his shoulder. To do the Shoulder Throw, Ryu must push forward against Ken and then he must push the Hard Punch (Fierce) button.

Holds

Holds allow fighters to grab an opponent and then hit or bite them again and again.

• Example: It is possible for Blanka to bite Guile on the head. To do the Head Bite, Blanka must push forward against Guile and then he must push the Hard Punch (Fierce) button.

Special Moves

Each character has developed his or her own special moves for use in combat.

Regular Moves

Press a Punch (P) or Kick (K) button.

Special Moves

Combo moves made up of a D-Button/Joystick command and a Punch or Kick button press.

Block

• Upper block: ←
• Lower block: ↙

Fighters can perform either a standing or crouching block. Use a right block to ward off an opponent's attack.

High Jump

↓↑ Jump higher than a regular jump.

Dash

→→ or ←←

Parrying

• Standing parry: → (toward opponent)
• Crouching blocking parry: ↓

Press toward opponent for an upper attack or ↓ for a lower attack the moment the opponent's attack hits. If successful, the fighter moves first and takes the advantage.

Quick Standing

↓ The moment an opponent knocks or throws a fighter up into the air, this technique allows them to recover.

Dizzy Recovery

All buttons Recovery from dizziness more quickly by rapidly pressing the Directional Buttons, punch buttons and kick buttons in any random order.

Throw & Grapple

LP + LK simultaneously When close to an opponent, press the Light Punch + Light Kick buttons simultaneously to throw the opponent. Some characters have grab moves instead of throws. Also, input the command the moment the opponent grabs the fighter to escape from the opponent's throw move.

Leap Attack

MP + MK simultaneously Jump lower than a regular jump and attack. Effective against an opponenet who is doing a crouching block.

Personal Action

HP + HK simultaneously Each character has an individual Personal Action with a unique effect.

Super Art

Directional Button/Joystick + Punch or Kick Button A Super Art move is a super powerful special move. As the fighter attacks, their Super Art Gauge gradually fills up. When the gauge is full, the fighter can perform a Super Art move. Each fighter has three Super Arts.

EX Special Move

2P or 2K buttons

When the Super Arts Gauge is blinking light blue, press two P or K buttons while inputting a Special Move command to perform a more powerful version of the Special Move. An EX Special Move requires a certain amount of Super Art Gauge.

Normal Moves

Press the punch or kick buttons to perform normal moves. The actual attack performed depends on the position of the fighter and the button pressed.

Special Moves

Inputting a specific combination of directional and attack buttons allows the fighter to perform a special move. Even if the opponent blocks a special move, they will still take a small amount of damage. Inputting the command for a special move during certain normal moves allows the fighter to cut short, or "cancel", the normal move and quickly go straight into performing the special move. Using cancelling skillfully is one way to create damaging combinations.

Block

Pushing the directional button away from the opponent allows the fighter to block their attacks. They can block high (Standing) and low (crouching) attacks. High and low blocks can block specific attacks, but not every attack. The fighter will need to carefully and quickly swap between them to block all incoming attacks.

Dash

Press the forward directional button twice to perform a forward dash, or the backward directional button twice to perform a backward dash. Dashing allows the fighter to quickly close the distance between them and their opponent, or to fall back and reassess the situation.

Stun Recovery

If the fighter keeps getting pummeled, they will eventually become stunned. While stunned, they cannot do anything. Their only hope is to press the directional buttons and other buttons as fast as they can to recover from the stun faster.

Throws and Throw Escapes

When standing close to the opponent, pressing the light punch button and light kick buttons simultaneously allows the fighter to throw their opponent. Theyh can change the direction they throw the opponent by pressing the left or right directional buttons. They can prevent themself from being thrown by pressing light punch and light kick together when their opponent begins to throw them. This is called "throw escape".

Some characters can also perform a throw when jumping (aerial throw), or special move throws (command throws). Throw escapes cannot be performed against aerial or command throws.

Recovery

When the opponent's attacks have knocked their character to the ground, they can press the down directional button twice or any two attack buttons simultaneously the instant that they hit the dirt to perform a quick recovery. A successful recovery will reduce the amount of time spent prone on the ground and make it easier to respond to the next incoming attack.

Some attacks, such as throws, do not allow a recovery to be performed after them.

Personal Action

While standing, the fighter can press the heavy punch and heavy kick buttons together to make sure they perform a personal action and taunt their opponent. This action in and of itself has no special properties.

Focus Attack

Performing

Press and hold the Medium Punch and Medium Kick buttons together to charge up a Focus Attack. To perform a full strength Focus Attack, hold the buttons until the attack is unleashed automatically. If the fighter releases the button while charging, the Focus Attack will come out sooner, but weaker.

Hyper Armor

The fighter can absorb up to one enemy attack in the time between pressing the Medium Punch / Medium Kick buttons and the Focus Attack being peformed. They can then go on to counter by performing the attack.

Absorb an opponent's attack and, rather than take direct damage, a section of the fighter's vitality gauge will change color, and will regenerate over time. This damage will recover as time passes, but if they are hit again before it finishes recovering, the remaining section will vanish and can no longer be recovered.

Levels

There are three levels of charging for a Focus Attack. The levels depend on how long the fighter holds the Medium Punch and Medium Kick. The fighter will flash white each time the Focus Attack level increases.

Levels
Attack Level	Main Benefits of Focus Attack performed
Level 1	Only does regular damage Crumples opponent if a counter hit
Level 2	Crumples opponent if hits, allowing easier follow up
Level 3 (Keep holding until performed)	Becomes unblockable Has Armor Break properties Crumples opponent if hits, allowing easier to follow up.

When an opponent crumples, they are rendered totally defenseless as they fall to the floor. Follow up with extra attacks or throw to take advantage of a crumpled opponent and do further damage.

The fighter cannot move or jump during a Focus Attack, but they can perform either a forward or backward dash to cancel the Focus Attack quickly.

Super Combo

Hitting the opponent or performing special moves will increase the Super Combo Gauge. The gauge is divided into four segments and, when completely full, a special command can be inpute to perform an all-powerful Super Combo. Doing so will use up all of the Super Combo Gauge.

Super Cancel

Input the Super Combo command while performing a normal move or special move and the fighter can cancel and move directly into the Super Combo. This is called a "Super Cancel". Using Super Cancels strategically allows the fighter to chain a normal move into a special move, and then into a Super Combo for massive amounts of damage.

EX Special Moves

The fighter can also perform an EX special move by pressing two or more of the required buttons (punch or kick) when inputting a special move command. This will consume one segment of the Super Combo Gauge. EX special moves are further powered up versions of the normal special moves.

EX Focus

When performing certain regular or special moves it is possible to press Medium Punch and Medium Kick together and cancel into a Focus Attack. This is called "EX Focus." (It will consume two segments of the Super Combo Gauge.) EX Focus has the same properties as a regular Focus Attack, aside from having no Hyper Armor effect.

The EX Focus can also be used when the fighter's special moves are blocked to protect themself from the opponent's counterattack.

Ultra Combo

The Revenge Gauge fills up as the opponent damages the fighter. Once it is over 50% full, the fighter can input a character-specific command to perform an "Ultra Combo," a devastating special move.

Performing an Ultra Combo will consume the entire Revenge Gauge. The higher the gauge is charged upon performing the attack, the more damage the ultra combo will do.

Normal Attacks

Press the punch or kick buttons to perform a normal attack. The precise attack varires depending on the fighter's position and the button pressed.

Special Moves

Pressing the directional and attack buttons in specific combinations will perform special moves. Special moves will take off a small amount of damage even when blocked. By performing a special move during certain normal attacks, the fighter can cancel the normal attack and move swiftly into doing a special move.

EX Special moves

These are special moves that are more powerful or have a stronger effect than normal. Fighters can perform an EX Special Move by pressing a punch or kick button (depending on the move) at the same time as the fighter inputs a special move command. This will use one stock of the fighter's Critical Gauge.

Guarding

Fighters can block an opponent's attack by pressing the directional button away from them. There are two types of guard: standing and crouching. Each can be used to block different types of attacks, so they'll need to know which type of guard is best for each situation.

V-Skill

Pressing the medium punch and medium kick buttons simultaneously will trigger a special action with a unique effect specific to that fighter.

V-Trigger

When a fighters V-Gauge is at MAX, press the hard punch and hard kick buttons simultaneously to trigger a special action specific to that character, consuming the entire V-Gauge. With effects like temporary power ups and teleportation, the V-Trigger can turn the tide of battle and give a fighter the upper hand.

V-Reversal

When guarding, press all kick or punch buttons at the same time while simultaneously pressing the directional button towards the opponent to consume one V-Gauge stock and perform a counter-move.

• Whether the fighter need to press punch or kick button depends on the fighter.

V-Shift

Press Hard Punch and Medium Kick at the same time to spend 1 stock of V-Gauge and perform a backward evasive action.

V-Shift Break

If a fighter successfully parries their opponent's attack with a V-Shift, they will trigger slow motion. While in this state, press Hard Punch and Medium Kick together to perform a fighter-specific counterattack called a V-Shift Break.

Throws and Throw Escapes

When standing close to the opponent, the fighter can perform a throw by pressing the light punch and light kick buttons simultaneously. If their opponent tries to throw them, they can execute a throw escape by pressing the light punch and light kick buttons together at just the right moment.

Recovery

When an opponent knocks the fighter down with an attack, they can perform a quick recovery by either pressing a directional button, or pressing two or more punch or two or more kick buttons simultaneously at just the right moment.

Movement

Walking

Pressing left and right on the control pad/left control stick will let the fighter move in that direction. The fighter can move forwards or backwards with no difficulty, not losing balance even while moving backwards while fighting against an opponent.

Dashing

Through double tapping the left control stick in the same direction, the fighter will perform a dash. Dashing lets the fighter cover more ground than regular advancing or retreating.

Jumping

Through inputting the control pad/left joystick upwards, the fighter will perform a jump. The fighter can either jump straight up or to either side. Jump are utilized for moving while avoiding opponent attacks, though jumping around too much will make the fighter look predictable.

Normal Attacks

Normal Attacks are performed through the fighter using the punch or kick inputs, allowing them to perform attacks of different strengths depending on the input done. There are weak versions of normal attacks known as light attacks, while weak they come out quick. There are medium attacks which are well balanced and easy to use. There are heavy attacks that leave the fighter open to counter attacks, but to make up for it they deal good damage.

Through inputting the control pad/left joystick downwards, the fighter will crouch, if attacking in this state the fighter will perform a crouch attack.

Through inputting the jumping action, the fighter can also attack while jumping, performing jumping attacks.

Blocking

There are two kinds of blocks: Standing Blocks and Crouching Blocks.

• Standing Block: Press the left joy stick in the opposite direction of the opponent while standing to perform a standing block. Standing blocks can guard against any attacks that aren't aimed at the fighters feet.
• Crouching Block: For attacks standing blocks can't defend against, crouching blocks are instead viable. While facing right, input diagonally down and left with the control pad/left joy stick to block. Crouching Blocks can't defend against Overhead or Jumping Attacks, but they can deal with a lot of other attacks.

Throws

When a fighter cannot break through an opponent's block, they can use throws to deal damage instead. At close range press the light attack inputs at the same time for a normal throw. Throws are a great option for close-ranged offense.

Throw Escape

If the fighter is about to get thrown, they can answer back with a throw escape, by pressing the light attack inputs at the same time.

Special Moves

Through a fighter doing their correct inputs, they will be able to fire off their special move. Different special moves work better in different situations for a fighter.

Super Arts

Super Arts depend on the Super Art gauge. The Super Art gauge can be filled up to 3 levels, if a fighter has at least one level in the bar, they can perform a Super Art.

The Level 3 Super Art is every fighter's trump card. The Super Art gauge fills up whenever the fighter's attack hits or if they're attacked.

The Drive Gauge

All fighter's have a Drive Gauge which indicates a fighter's concentration and energy level. Utilizing this gauge lets a fighter perform unique actions.

Drive Impact

The fighter presses the right two shoulder buttons at the same time to perform a powerful attack. Drive Impacts can absorb two attacks from the opponent, but there are some exceptions. When in trouble, a fighter's Drive Impact can break through any attack. Drive Impacts have a unique characteristic: They can break a cornered opponent's block.

Drive Parry

This is performed by holding down the medium attack inputs at the same time, for a powerful defensive tool.

Drive Parries are effective against both standing and crouching attacks, and a successfull Drive Parry will replenish the drive gauge.

While Drive Parries are powerful, they can't defend against throws.

Perfect Parry

A Perfect Parry is the result of performing a Drive Parry the moment an opponent's attacks hits them. This is an invaluable tool for their counterattack game.

Other

Standard Tactics: Mika's fighting style revolves around her using various wrestling manuvers, she will mainly use grapples and use her body to withstand strong punches.

Weaknesses

• Standard Fighter Weaknesses: Alpha Counters consume 1 level on a fighter's Super Combo gauge. Focus Attacks hyper armor absrobs an opponent's attack and allows the fighter to regenerate the damage, however if the fighter is damaged while the recovery is in process, they will lose the remaining section and can no longer have it be recovered. Fighters cannot move or jump during a Focus Attack. When the Drive Gauge is completely empty, the fighter will enter Burnout and won't be able to use any Drive system techniques until it's fully recovered.
• Unique Weaknesses: Back during the Alpha 3 days R. Mika was somewhat more of a novice, so she would hurt herself when using shooting peach, though by SFV she has no issues using this move.

Trivia

• Rainbow Mika likes Zangief's pro wrestling beliefs, running on the sand, and posing.
• Rainbow Mika dislikes younger people who don't know respect.
• R. Mika’s surname, Nanakawa (七河), translates to "seven rivers," while her given name Mika (美花) means "beautiful flower," combining "mi" for beautiful and "hana" for flower to evoke the imagery of a blossom.
• In Japan, R. Mika often ends her sentences with "-ssu," a casual contraction of "desu-ne," roughly meaning "isn't it?" or "right?"
• She is the only female wrestler playable in the Street Fighter.
• According to the All About Street Fighter Zero 3 guidebook, her hobbies include running on beaches, doing push-ups, and practicing wrestler’s bridges, while her special skill is gluttony.
• R. Mika shares her birthday with Sakura.
• Her Japanese voice actress in Street Fighter Alpha 3, Junko Takeuchi, is also known for voicing Naruto Uzumaki in the original Naruto and Naruto Shippūden anime.
• Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono expressed a strong desire for R. Mika to appear in Street Fighter IV and repeatedly requested her inclusion, but these requests were not implemented.
• Although Street Fighter V features the wrestling stage (Ring of Destiny) from the 2016 Pro Tour, Mika has an unused wrestling arena depicted in her official artwork. This stage briefly appears in the A Shadow Falls story mode during cutscenes with Mika, Zangief, Laura, andAlex. It differs from Ring of Destiny, being smaller and displaying Mika’s name on arena signage.
  • Don Sauvage makes a cameo in this unused stage during story mode.
• Her "Professional" (Pom-Poms) costume in Street Fighter V is banned in competitive play. Likely because the pom-poms can obscure attack ranges and hitboxes, creating a gameplay advantage.

• Mika’s Premium costume references two characters from Go Nagai’s works: Sirene from Devilman and the protagonist of Devilman Lady.
• In Street Fighter V, if Mika completes her full V-Skill speech successfully, her next throw deals 100% damage, effectively acting as a literal fingerpoke of doom.

Codex Statistics Questions

Q: Shouldn't characters comparable to Akuma be around Tier 6 (6-C) for him sinking an island in one punch?

A: Akuma's punch causes the island to start collapsing, and specifically causes an explosion of this size in comparisson to the island, there is also no direct timeframe for how long this took, making it hard to factor. On top of this, the size of the island is not that large. Playing Devil's Advocate and assuming this was to be Tier 6, this would not be consistent, as Akuma using his ultimate technique, the "Kongou-kokuretsuzan" only split Ayers Rock in half. Which it should be noted as Akuma is training constantly and getting stronger, the Island feat was all the way back in Alpha 2, which is before most of the games, while III: 2nd Impact is pretty late into the timeline.

Q: Shouldn't the cast be comparable to Chun-Li's kikosho, which caused this massive crater, which was calculated to be 8-B?

A: While the scene is cut weirdly, a couple of things to note is for one, the consistency of kikosho. In Chun-Li's opening in Street Fighter IV, her kikosho pushes back a speeding car but does no serious damage to it. Another thing is that the crater is inconsistently sized between scenes. Finally, Chun-Li is weaker then Juri where while amped had powers that can blow up the inside of a building and cause a jet plane to explode, greatly injuring Guile, who she's comparable too in the process. Thus it does not make sense for 8-B when far lower feats affect them, and the calculation itself has issues.

Q: Shouldn't the cast be comparable to E. Honda, who destroyed a meteor?

A: In the feat, it's directly noted that the two wrestlers (Hakan and E. Honda) worked together, with E. Honda being thrown at high speeds into the meteor and being greatly damaged from said feat, having bandages all over his body. Thus the feat is not usable for scaling to anyone other then throwing speed.

Q: Shouldn't the cast be comparable to Haggar, who causes an explosion seen from space?

A: Haggar's attack is modeled weird as it's heavily likely for partly comedic effect, asides from this, despite said explosions, the actual stage is largely unaffected by this attack, which furthers that this is just an over the top comedic effect attack rather then being a literal explosions from Earth.

Q: Shouldn't M. Bison be comparable to Akuma and by proxy any characters comparable to M. Bison are comparable to Akuma?

A: When Akuma first appears in Street Fighter II, he easily one-shots M. Bison, his ending in Alpha 3 has him easily kill M. Bison. The only two cases of M. Bison looking stronger is in his arcade mode he has Akuma as a rival fight, and ends up winning, and him calling the Raging Demon a pitifully weak move. However there are issues with both of these, the first one being this is simply a non-canon arcade mode from M. Bison, any other showing of M. Bison and Akuma shows Akuma as the superior one (Examples include Street Fighter V M. Bison getting one-shot by Ryu while Akuma easily beat Ryu in Street Fighter 5, THe Alpha 3 Akuma Ending and Street Fighter II Secret Akuma Boss Fight), on top of this M. Bison wants the satsui no hado's power, which is weaker then Akuma's during the events of Alpha 3. For Adon's part, Bison is merely attempting to convince him to take Psycho Power so that he can control him, this is doubly clear as any time M. Bison has been depicted on screen being hit by the Raging Demon he instantly dies. Also as a last point, for the rival fight, Feel the Cool played against M. Bison, while Groan only plays when he's fighting Gen or Evil Ryu, thus meaning Akuma even in M. Bison's arcade mode wasn't taking the fight seriously.

Q: Shouldn't Evil Ryu and thus the Statsui no Hado have 7-B due to it powering M. Bison's laser to destroy Bangkok?

A: This is not a solely Evil Ryu power, every fighter in the game has this, including Dan Hibiki. This also is a machine that saps all of their energy, where a persons total body energy is not comparable to the energy they produce regularly.

Q: Shouldn't all Street Fighter 6 charcters get 7-B for fighting SiRN Akuma?

A: While some statements suggest it to be equal in power to Akuma, several characters note that it isn't, as strong as the real Akuma. The real Akuma even considers SiRN Akuma a mockery. C. Viper notes the simulation is only passable as a simulation.

Q: Isn't Menat's statement of fighters always fighting against their destiny usable?

A: Menat still can't see the future well, having a hard time seeing fighter's futures like F.A.N.G., and can't properly see into the future. This is more due to her being a rookie then the fighters resistances.
