one word headbutt, againts Boxer i preffer using cr.strong becasue its the safest normal to use. If Boxer try’s to headbutt cr.strong it wiffs if you space yourslef correctly and then you can punish him for being desperate and trying to land his Ultra.
im surprised that balrog didnt headbutt after some of those blocked dash punches. would have stopped some of your poke attempts. good block strings though.
i dont know about the boxers you play, but at close range c.mp gets stuffed by my friends balrog. it does not seem like something you can use as a crutch to counter him. at medium range c.mp trades with his rush punches, but never beats him.
i found playing a long distance game seems best. and for whatever reason a defensive j.hp (into c.mp, drill) worked decently. but jumping is so hard when the rog keeps you at range where he can psychich rush punch/headbutt you out of your anticipated jump.
Yea, rog can easily beat c.mp so don’t ever just throw it out there. I tried it at all kinds of ranges and his sweep > c.mp all day:sad: Stupid rog:bluu: But long rande is indeed the way to go for this fight imo.
Yeah, I’m struggling with this as well. It seems as if Rog has a real easy time blowing past Rose’s poke game (of course It might be more my abilities as a player than Rose).
are you guy’s playing offline or online? the poking game gets fucked up because of latency, the macthups are only perfect offline, cr.mp doest get suffed if you spce it correctly, it beats dash punches it can get beat by cr.RH but thats waht st.foward is about. I dont play Rose online you cant get her max juice out unless your spacing is on key ala Alpha2. And for the record he did headbutt after some dash punches on the macthes i played before we starded recording, but i punished it erverytime and when he stopped playing so risky then i started poking more.
i see well you did a good job at scaring him then :lol: i still figure balrog would have all the answers to this match if he keeps pressure applied.
ya…that balrog was pretty wussy sitting there not poking and being afraid of your c.mp spam. he didnt even use the overhead punch when you were clearly crouching 99% of the time.
im goin with luigi bos word. that c.mp doesnt work too well. even the spirals get stuffed occasionally by his rush punches. max range s.hk SORT OF works.
no i actually got reversed afterwards with his dash punch believe it was the trip one but it hurt cuz he blocked the hk. fhk maybe but not far standing hk
I have played other Boxer’s like TonyB and DS offline and im telling you the mathcup is the same, she can keep up with his pokes but only at a specific range but thats the whole point of playing a zoning game againts him. For the record i can block OH rush on reaction and its punishable by a combo, thats probally why he dint use it to much i guess he could have used it maby once in a blue moon but its not a mixup agaitns me because if i see you once, i’ll open up my eyes and start blocking it on reaction.
yeah i can see it too seeing as he does pull his whole body back before the punch :lol:
Yea, it’s mad slow. THat shit gets ultra’d on reaction if I have it.:bluu: EX version gets me sometimes cuz of the stupid armor
i try to do a short combo into drill when i see them flashing but thats only from mid to far screen on the contrary though i sometimes get hit with the trip dash :lol: but it works.
Hey guys I got a question for you!
So I have been playing Rose for a week, only been able to play few hours during the weekend and not so much now during the week. One problem I have is that whenever my opponent just keeps attacking me I am clueless of what to do. I block the attacks but just seem to be unable to get away or counterattack, throw, whatever. So I just sit there, either blocking until I notice they do a mistake or I try to attack with some kind of fast punch or kick.
For example I just met a Bison, he did a low kick a few times then when he was far away he did a special (sorry don’t know the name) and then continued to do the low kicks ect. I blocked and tried to attack after the special but his kick got me instead… Another example is a C.Viper friend I play now and then, he always keep preassure on me with somekind of combo, same thing there whenever I try to attack I am the one that get hit no matter when I try to do it.
So am I doing something wrong (apparently I am)? If so, what will help me get out of these situations? Sometimes I can keep myself out of it but good players always seem to push me into a cornor 
welcome to intermediate level street fighter. your job is to figure out what moves are safe to counter his block strings. eventually, you will get to a level where he will start mixing up his block strings so that you do an incorrect counter. and then you are forced to start mixing everything up. that is advanced level street fighter.
what i do whith his OH punch is just i block it higth when i see it and i punish with a cr.strong into drill you just have to make sure you time it correctly if you do it rigth he wont be able to block it. That way i dont have to even worry about the EX armor since i’ll just block punish instead of trying to poke him out besides he has that armor glicth he can do to beat you out if you try to poke his armor away.
Armor glitch???
Yea I’m curious about this as well?
Also I was wondering how do the majority of Rose players (from this forum that main Rose) play her? Like do you use her defensively or offensively or a mixture. Like I try to keep it as even as possible. . .I’ll take my time defensively but if an opportunity arises for offense I will take it.
Which way would one say she is best played? I am leaning towards defense but I’m always wondering on others thoughts as well (won’t change how I play just curious)
I play a ton of defense, with a touch of offense after getting a knockdown (crossups).
Depends on who I’m plauing. But I start off defensive most of the time and randomly come in or let them come to me and slide under their jump in and throw into AGRO ROSE mode:rofl:
