We said that Street Fighter V’s latest challenger looked great in her reveal trailer – but we had no idea how great. Available now, Menat is a fortune teller with some pretty unique orb attacks. But more interesting than that is the way the purple haired prescient walks. Check this out:
In fact, the forecasting fighter’s animations are awesome across the board – take a look at this bad ass belly dancing bone crusher, for example:

AHAhah LowTierGod is gonna rage hard at her ahhahahah.
Btw she looks awesome.
I love this.
Luffy must've lost his marbles at her reveal.
I really like her design.
Also, I think she's one of the few characters in the game that doesn't have giant clown feet.
Cool! Looking forward to her port to Blender. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Great walking. Looks just like the character I created for DCU online, called her Otep. Ill wait out for some kind of complete edition down the line. Tbey seem to be going for the DOA DLC nonsense.
Kind of wish they'd focus more on improving single player content in the game but I guess it's time to give that dream up.
I absolutely don't want to crush any enthusiasm the general public shows for sfv but while Menat is indeed very charismatic and interesting as the first "puppet master" character in Street fighter, she is really hard to pick up and play as. Not the explosion of pure fun you get from playing Abigail or Ed for the first few days for sure...be warned! It's the character I'd recommend the least for this season if you have some fight money to spend.
@Feena thanks for the heads up. Abigail is pretty easy to use, but I kinda figured Menat would be a hard character to use for a player like me. I might wait to get her.
Wow. Seems that it time for me to play Street Fighter 5 again.
Nice animation. Reminds me of the first time I played Another World and Flashback and was in awe at the animations.
I hope someday capcom release ultra sf5 with all characters unlocked + proper arcade mode, I already delete the game and not interested on installing it again without proper arcade mode.
Sometimes... it's okay to get a boner because of a video game character. This is one of those times.
As someone who has self control and isn't sexually deprived I find her walk over the top, unnecessary and just annoying. But that's just my personal opinion, 2 cents....
@Nesstark88 I think it's, er, supposed to be over-the-top. That's kinda the point?
I am more interested in the lady in the background of the first photo who clearly needs the toilet but can't because the fighters are blocking the way to the bogs.
She looks a lot like my gf, so to me is a double appeal character!
@JoeBlogs Dammit man! Now I will!
@Feena So she won't be challenging R Mika as a main for awhile then
@get2sammyb lol yes indeed I believe that is the case, they are obviously trying to get the attention of gamers with a certain/specific mindset. I guess i'm just old, I'm way passed my ''I want to see naked women and boobies teenage phase" lol
@JoeBlogs same! Ive always wanted an old woman kung fu master like u sometimes see in martial arts movies whos sippin tea one moment but spin kicking pottery and junk at the thugs messin up the store the next minute! Lol. Also have always wanted a buff musled female mma fighter type of character. No not like laura or mika. I mean like hair all pulled back in cornrows or whatever and looking pretty ruff like her nose has been smashed in within the last few months. You know, like how actual female mma fighters look. Strong and powerful. Not like a model. And not giant boobs. I love SF but it really does seem like it was made for 14 yr old boys. I want my makoto back
I shrug my shoulders the same way Capcom does when we ask for an Arcade Mode.
@Bliquid can I ask what you disliked about the game? I'm thinking of buying it as it is on sale and I loved SF4 on last gen. What got ruined?
