Representing Japan, Mita first seems to match the infamous female character cliché... weak but fast.
But don't be fooled, not by this and not by the title "for BEGINNER" you can see in the Neo Geo versions: Mita is quite possibly the most difficult character to master, yet she sure is one of the most fun to play.

Why?
For her qualities to shine, Mita must get in the offensive half of the stage and use her tremendous walking speed to quickly get back in position to defend. She's more confortable on the smaller stages: Beach & Tiled.
Having more time to reposition, Mita can better prepare for supersonic shots and reversals that you must master to make up for her weak throws.
Mix up your attacks a lot, use all kind of throws (regular, curved, supers).
