Rolento General Discussion

Struggled against a decapre recently, any idea what to do against ex teleport shenanigans? I was testing a few things and jump forward/back hard kick seems legit as it stops drill and escapes the slam, but I was wondering if anyone else has better ways to get out other then blocking?

Maybe we should get a matchup thread started soon?..

I’m gonna start gathering all the useful intel and put it in a post on one of these threads, unless someone beats me to it. Doing it slowly because E3 is getting in the way. I’d like to have combos all nice and neat like this thread, for example (ignore first post, it’s frame date, scroll down.) “Nothing like a good workout!” Paul Combos and Framedata (v2013)

Has anyone made a list of all the characters that cl.hk, cr.mk doesn’t work on? Might do that too at some point.

Guy is a tough matchup. Without a reversal to worry about Guy’s buffed walkspeed with bushin run lets him have sustained pressure on Rolento all day. Ex Delta Escape doesn’t help cause Guy can get right back on top of you with Bushin run. No idea how to fight this matchup.

Ive got a few things but PSN is below average so I never get much practice, only lab work during my university periods unless I travel to sessions.

If one hit of rolento’s crouch mp hits on CH, is he at an advantage? It is usually plus 6 on hit but I assume thats if all the hits connect

I personally love that he doesn’t have an abusable reversal. And he is good enough as it is, I think. Weak, but good enough.

Im feeling the cross-up trick rod in the corner, cool stuff

anyone have any ideas vs pressure? I tend to get pushed into a corner and die. Nevermind it’s not possible, my bad guys.

Couldn’t get slide to connect after ex rekkas in the corner vs ryu. Is it character specific?

The negativity, from me atleast is for 2 reasons.

  1. I love rolento and Im super pissed what they did to him. I dont’t even want him to be a top tier. I just want him to half decent (atleast on the level of honda for example) and that wont happend whitout invincible ex patriot or huge buffs to a lot of his normals.

2.In the slight possibility there will be another balance patch whit the disk version or something, capcom should be well aware he fucking sucks so they can fix him.

The more crying about how bad rolento is the better as far as i’m concerned. Its totally justified.He sucks so bad. :<

nah man, they just stop you from doing anything, if they know wtf they’re doing.

unless you just troll people with roll and try really hard to get hatemail against people that don’t know what to do.

that’s what I do. and i’m having the time of my life.

game is shit and rolento is the shittiest of the shit, but it’s the best $15 i’ve spent. Laughs all day.

YAUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

i’m glad you corrected yourself.

really though, just mash PPP, and laugh.

you might lose sometimes, but when you win, it’s worth it. You’ll get those really good belly laughs and your sides will hurt. trust me.

until people figure it out. then you’ll just rage and toss your xbox, stick, and yourself out the window.

but for at least another week, i’m going HAM on the ROLLento.

fuck I hate this character.

yes.

I can’t get it to work at all

but that’s cuz i suck ass and I don’t really give a shit anymore.

Whoooaaa buddy, slow down there. Yeah, I’m not ones of those people in denial who thinks Rolento is secretly good (seriously, check other threads, people actually think he’s great!), but he’s not one of the worst in the game, and he certainly isn’t as bad as Honda.

He is just one of those characters, who unfortunately will end up having quite a few horrible 3-7 matchups, but will also have mostly 5-5 matchups. I would just be happy if EX MDE worked better, and he got the 6F st.mp back. At least then he wouldn’t have to just absolutely take the ass rapings he receives currently.

This would be absolutely phenomenal. Last night, I got rolled harder than I ever have in a game by Elena. Her legs spaced me out just far enough to leave me frustrated. I think they’re slightly longer than s.FP, so I panicked when my main tool was taken away from me and auto-switched to Sagat.

I just placed 3rd at my local with Rolento. I lost to Darkchilds decapre he was fucking around with me even if I did beat him Lud was waiting for me in winners with his decapre they both was just messing around though. Rolento is super fun though. I have 5k with my Rolento online.
