Rose, GG's Thread!

Over nine thooousand! :wink: I’m at 9400 GP atm. Pretty comfortable against 90% of Sagat and Ryu players, but have some issues if it’s a half decent Vega or Cammy coming my way. Probably because they are good enough to take a lesser char.

GG’s to Wibble, his Rose is coming along nicely. Just remember some of the tactics and little mind games I showed you and you’ll be surprised how well you do. :tup:

Acku I’m almost to G1 myself at 14.6k GP I was planning on getting there tonight but Wibble had to interrupt me!..j/k

Thanks for the help! I just wish I understand frame and ranging more. Probably will help abate 20+ loss streaks I get on a daily basis now…

20k GP, but i’m getting tired of Rose these days.

Just practice and try not to take in too much all at once. Just remember that doing her slide at close range is usually an invitation to get punished. Her slide is a very useful tool. It can be used to escape corners, avoid cross up shenanigans, as a means to quickly close distance, and it’s a very good surprise poke from outside sweep range. Just know when and where to use it, but don’t abuse it. Instead of sliding when you get in, try using standing mk when you get close. It’s a excellent move that is pretty quick, is invulnerable to throws and can be combo’d from.

i’m usually mixing up a few other characters in my first matches of championship, using rose only for semi and finals.
you should do that to keep things fresh.

btw, 20k GP is too much man. take a break.

lol, when i first got the game i was always playin it, ans it was very easy to get up to 15k. But i slowed my path 2/3 weeks ago ^^,

GG’s to Saqs :tup: Man, his rose is like a little wrecking ball. He doesn’t miss many opportunities to punish your mistakes. And I thought I played an aggressive Rose…sheesh, his is like the energizer bunny…it just keeps going and going…

Out of 10 matches I was only able to win 1, though there were a few close finishes where it was back and forth, but overall I missed too many opportunities to punish him for his whiffs (which weren’t many) and wasn’t able to do enough damage when I did punish him.

GG’s man, you revealed a few holes in my game that weren’t that apparent to me. :tup:

GGs bruh. Thanks for the games! Rose is probably my 2nd least favorite matchup :p.

There were defeinitely plenty of rounds where you had me on the defensive as well but would back off and start sparking. My tip would be to just keep the pressure on and mixup your block strings with crossup attempts, throws and/or drill/spark finishes. Your good use of s.mk made me change up a bit as well.

Good stuff and keep reppin the Skarf!

lol…I was trying to get in to throw you, but I always ended up eating a c.mp, spiral for my trouble… The only reason I was backing off and throwing some sparks was to try and get a minute to formulate a different game plan. It seemed no matter what distance I was at, if you blocked my combo ender (spiral) I would end up eating your c.mp, spiral as punishment. And when I went for a cross up attempt you just dashed under me and went for a throw. :crybaby:

Rose is also surprisingly one of my poorer matches too. I’m not used to being on the receiving end of her range and poke priority. You did show me that I need to do more damage when I do get the chance to dish out some punishment.

:tup:GG:tup: 2 metroxylon, luffy086, acku and ShinkuuR.

metroxylon:
really enjoy rose ball, it 's more difficult than I thought. bad connection although.

luffy086:
also the only good rose i meet in G1; (the others are to bad i think they doesnt main her)

acku:
full green bar connection. Wow.

ShinkuuR:
Special mention to u man: Succeed links with bad connection. have a hard time against yours: make me improve my mind game.

Mirror matches are very good.

I’m almost 35K GP as I m writing these lines. It seems i’m the first Rose on PSN; I’m glad since I work hard to improve my level.

PS: Hi Saqs Sensei (:bgrin:)

Yeah man ggs the other day, very solid play. I realize afterwards I had no idea how to fight that match lol! Hit me up again for some games, bad connection or not.

P.S. Are you in France? I could’ve sworn when I accepted the match request I saw these weird words for half a second and was like “WTF is that french??”:wtf:

One must be bad when he only gets props for his connection, lol.

J/K tho, you are just too strong. Rumor has it that Saqs is a girl btw. WHOA. I’m not humping anyone, however.

So does that mean you’re available and/or on the receiving end? PM me if you’re interested:hitit:

I’m pretty keen to play some other Rose players if anyone’s up for it. I very VERY rarely bump into another Rose player on live and when I do, they’re never any good. I did see Craptacular1 a couple of times but I could never join his game for some reason. I’d like to play some people who are better than me so I can pick up a few tips on how to improve my game. I think I’m at 10050GP right now and I’m online pretty much every day but I’m in Northern Ireland so the time diff might limit my chances of playing with a lot of you.

Anyways, fire me a FR if anyone wants some friendly matches to point out what I’m doing right and wrong.

Send me friend request, I see that you’re in Ireland, but we’ll give it a go. I have a friend who is in England and the connection is halfway decent as long as you have good internet.

GG’s to Combichrist, you have a decent Rose, but I’d say you should work on your mind games on wake up a little more. Almost every time you knocked me down you simply backed off and threw a meaty spark at me. I was trying to show you some games you can play with Rose. One in particular that I kept catching you with was the dash up and throw or the dash in and dash out to bait you and you took it and tried to ultra me, at which point you ate my ultra instead…lol. Other than that your combo’s look solid and you seem to be able to pull off your BnB’s fairly consistently. GG’s man :tup:

P.S. it never hurts to be a little more aggressive too…that’s one of the reasons I was able to consistently beat you. When the tide swayed in your favor, you would never keep the pressure on, you’d back off and try to react to what I was doing. When you have the momentum, roll with it baby! :wgrin:

My main problem is dealing with aggresive players as you just witnessed :rofl:

My other problem is inconsistency. I can have a good game one minute then play like a complete spacker, the next. Hopefully we can play some more games another day and I can get my mic plugged in for 'em.

In the meantime I reckon I need lots of practice :slight_smile:

If anyone else wants to play, give me a shout. I’ll be on for the next few hours.

i would love to play with all of you :slight_smile:

the problem is i live in Spain, and the connections here are BIG CRAP.

anyways, im gonna use cable soon (still a crappy connection, but it seems to work better than conventional ADSL connections here), if i considerer it is good enough, ill send you a friend request (well, at least the ones who live in Europe).

yep ggs to acktessa, always get a good fight with your rose :). Btw you should slow down your grind a lil, 40k gp is too much :D.
