EDIT: there’s some truth they look on the unity boards. Cause a lot of the Cody buffs came straight from the cody buff thread that we pushed hard. Of couse Sven himself took everything posted in the unity thread and passed it on to the devs.
A lot of it just comes straight down to capcom not giving a flying fuck about Rose.
I was kinda in same boat; you know ever since AE, I was debating if I should 2nd Rose or Juri. I’m 4th generation Italian, and I main Bison. How cool it would be to main him and 2nd his good half. But, it’s not Rose is bad, it’s she’s going to struggle to keep up now because as many said here many other characters got stronger. I’m going to have to 2nd Juri now and 3rd Rose =/
I actually just re-tweeted Seth and Ono again with the link to the capcom-unity where I did my long post. So stupid from me: I say I don’t care but still try to do whatever I can to help Rose…lol…
Well I for one am fucked if I’m picking up another character just because they got buffed. I find it weird that people are freaking out, if any of you were that seriously bother about being competitive you would have kept playing ken. I can’t reversal? Fine. Don’t need that shit anyway. Useless ultras? Great, just another reason to not get hit. As depressing as it is it’s even more depressing that, come release day, I’ll be sat in my dressing gown at nine in the morning waiting for the patch to come and then, by god, I’ll kick already oiled hakan’s ass so bad his weird bubbly hair, thing, will grow by another five inches.
Are japanese Rose players masochist? Cause that’s the only explanation why they haven’t said anything. It doesn’t make sense. LOL stay free Rose. Stay free.
My problem with all this situation isn’t that she didn’t get the buffs WE WANT. My problem is that back in vanilla Capcom took note on 2 things that was really difficult for Rose: Reflecting and her defense. Super got out and they made the necessary adjustments for these things. When AE came out and they removed what would compensate for a defense without giving anything in return. At this point, THEY KNOW Rose has a problem with her defense, back in vanilla and super they couldn’t be too sure but they clearly saw the difference from Super to AE. From there they could’ve done the necessary buffs for her. Maybe not really buff her defense! Multiple kinds of way could’ve been done to help her. Buffing her in other USEFUL parts of her gameplay could’ve done the job as well. Leave the defense as it is and buff her offense ? I’m all for it but as long as its useful AND significant buffs! sorry but +1 on cl.mk isn’t something I call useful because it doesn’t change a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g! They could’ve at least made the hitbox bigger downward so it doesn’t whiff when the twins or smaller characters are mashing cr.tech ???
But no. They just decide to revert her back to her super state and give nothing significant in return while everyone other characters are getting buffs with steroids. And yes even those that received only nerfs didn’t get nerfed to an extend were they will be low tier or w/e. They are still be reliable.
Just giving my 2 cents. God why don’t they just release the patch now so we can move on to other things >_>
Either way, not enough japanese Rose talk to warrant a “buff” apparently.
I’m tired of trying to fight for a character I never even planned on playing. Capcom pretty much killed the enjoyment and small likeness I had playing Rose in SF4.
i’ll just be happy playing A2 with Rose. You know…that game where you don’t need to worry about being free on wakeup.
I wish someone could contact Jiban and get him on this type of discussion! I think he’s really the only Japanese Rose player that I know off the top of my head.
Does sako actually play Rose? I saw one video of him playing Rose a long time ago before Arcade Edition came out and that was about it. I got the impression that he was just trying her out, so to speak. I’ve never seen the other two. I wish they would all speak up a little more if they play her, but maybe their advice falls on deaf ears, too.
