this thread is absolutely amazing. not only is the guide very informative, but it is also extremely well-written. :tup:
I agree. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. 
very nicely done. i hope this thread keeps getting updated to help myself and others learn new things and level up.
great thread I hope this improves my rose. I was just saying the other day how their isn’t a lot of rose stuff on SRK.

This is a great thread. I just now came back to Rose (once again), and I like this compilation of goodness.
You should had for the Combos on Two stocks: C Hp xx Spiral FADC C Hp xx Spiral , C Hp xx Spiral FADC C Hp xx HP Reflect, ST (which is the most damaging combo with 2 meters and near corner)

extremely useful write up. I read a good chunk of it and I’ll be sure to use the info to level up my game. Thanks!
Great write up Acku. Loved the way you delivered it too! Everyone should nominate this for article. I learned alot of stuff from this.
Like Luffy said adding most damage and most stun combos can’t hurt.

Nominating the original post won’t hurt the updates indeed either
I’m not going to do anything about match-ups since I don’t play enough players who know their characters well enough to punish any mistakes a Rose can make. That would be bad advise overall. What would be a lot better is match-up videos taken from real tournaments, or at least from well-known online heroes. So I’ll look to that, as the final bit of the guide. I don’t watch a lot of vids though, can’t do it at work 
If anyone has a few vids that he thinks are representing a match-up very well, it would be awesome.
The most damage combos should be there if you include Luffy’s comment. Most stun is something Pasqual was looking into, don’t know the numbers. Is this really considered that much in matches? Seems very hard to count stun well enough to let +50 stun in a combo make the difference of choice. Same goes with counter-hot combos, they are very nice to see, and I believe some actually use that. But maybe a bit too high level to be useful as a reference written by a mid-level (albeit enthousiastic) player.
Acku I can say honestly that this is a good introductory document to those who want to play Rose. I did learn a couple techniques in fact. Just not sure if I’ll start using them.
I don’t think counting stun is an essential to playing as Rose, since half the cast has an uppercut to deal with her most idyllic pressure game. If anything, maybe you could mention some attack sequences that would stun a player during their confusion, or wanting to fight back (how some have dubbed it “mind fucked”) without them being too close to getting KO’d. Like maybe you land a good combo on them, then on their wake, cross them up (ambiguously) for another combo, or bait out a reversal then punish them for it, then try to zone them out with the heavier normals, or keep applying pressure when their first reversal didn’t work.
A lot of sequences can be interchangeable. Like on Rufus, you could start with heavy pokes, get a spiral knockdown, then cross-up, and keep the pressure on if he doesn’t have meter. + throws.
Counter-hit combos I personally try to use. If I use an attack that could start a counter-hit, regardless of if it counter hits or not, I usually do the next attack that would link with it, which is most often c.MP. Though this is more personal strategy related and not definite good practice for others, it still maintains pressure.
I’m sure there’s a lot more you want to add, but what’s great about Rose, and this game in general, is the creative freedom you’re allowed when you’re not stuck in blockstun. 
La vie en Rose.
This is a great thread. It’s also much better than the stickied combo thread. Thankyou very much for this.

I was thinking of picking Rose up since vanilla, and this post will help me greatly. Thanks.
For some reason I thought this was a poetry thread or some shit lol! Good job Acku!!!
Thank you for this write up Acku. It has really helped me make the transition from Viper to Rose.
Wasn’t expecting much before I clicked, but wow I was surprised. Good shit.
Aren’t these Spirals supposed to be Sparks, or am I missing something? :wonder:
Edit: Also, sorry for getting a bit nitpicky, but maybe Soul Piede and Slide should not be listed under Specials… Anyway, amazing job!!
