Rose Strategies and Match-ups

Slide under them when they jump.

Why didn’t I think to slide? :rofl:

As for sliding under Tiger Shot, yeah, I tried in Training Mode for about 20 minutes yesterday and it didn’t work for the low shots unless I was at max throw range and did the slide with extreme precision (luck). I also tried to counter his jumping MP and anti-air standing FK…for the jumping MP if they’re abusing it I think you can counter with a jumping LP. It seemed to work about 75% of the time for me. And cr. FP as said before. For standing FK, I didn’t really have a solution.

If I can get around Sagat I’ll be happy, since he’s pretty much my only tough matchup now (and Zangief, but that’s because it’s a runaway match). Might get more into learning Sakura.

My though matchup is against Balrog, he does his c.lp followed by his running punch, then re c.lp and mix with some grab… I can’t do anything but guard, hoping for a chance to grab ;’(. Any tips?

Any suggestions for Vega?

against Vega, i’m playing offensively by mixing up combo/throw to not let him charge his wall dive. And if he dive, i’m jumping back with hk, or slide then throw.

you can also slide under the dive and ultra

If you can trick Vega into doing his ex claw thingy, you can punish with super, ultra, os sweep(not 100% about this one, forgot)

Rose owns turtle Vega all day, but rushdown Vega is tough as shit.

i find the reverse actually more accurate :rofl:
playstyles, etc…

Lol, i feel shitty right now. I lost to a Honda who only used buttslam. There just wasn’t any time to punish. Any way to counter this? O_O

Well the first thing you really need to work on is blocking. It’s relatively easy to see what side a bluttslam is going to land on. Another method is to focus it, but you have to be careful of trying to do this on prediction because from a crouch charge Honda also has his Flying Sumo attack which is his focus breaker. After you block the buttslam throwing him is easy mode or you can cr.mp/mk xx drill. Then cross him up.

When cammy does her drill and you block do you:

  • keep blocking to punish a thrust kick
  • start tech throwing
  • try to punish with quick jabs

I find the last option to be unreliable, I get way too much ‘reversals’ in my face. So that leaves two options, which are a pure guess, which totally messes up my game because I dont like 50/50 guessing that much.
Am I correct or am I missing something here?

Good cammies always freak me out with that mindgame sit.

Can’t you tech throw on reaction after you see no thrust kick?

I’m almost 30, my reaction is halved :frowning:

You could focus the drill. If they’re online Cammys, I doubt they’re actually spacing these right. I’ve been just blocking > crouch MP. Or you could probably just backdash. It’s a very shitty strategy.

i tend to see drills as gief ex hands : don’t stand in mid-range. either you stay close to her and start a throw-poke mindgame, or you keep her at bay at far range with soulsparks.
but definitely, mid-range is cammy’s strong field against rose.

How do you guys deal w/ a Fuerte that actually knows what he’s doing? I had a match the other day and got destroyed, I’m not exactly a top player but the thing is I really had no strategy. He had me guessing the whole match. ^^’

THat’s pretty much how it goes lol. Splash mixups own you if done right. Best bet is FA and counter his splash/slide recovery. I have no answer for flippy grab besides super/ultra. I’ve gonnetn EX Soul Glo to work a few times, but it seems unreliable. SO does backdashing out of that move for that matter.

I see, so it’s not just me then; I was so clueless in that matchup lol

Yeah his helicopter move is irritating as hell. I’ve managed to catch him a few times with a very late EX soul throw, but most of the time I eat it, I usually try to run away if that jumping, flipping bastard gets near me.

Would anyone like to help with versing El Fuerte.
