Rose Strategies and Match-ups

Well, jumping mp can beat it as well, but it’s a lot easier than jumping mp since lk aims downwards so it will more likely hit on time

EDIT- SWEET! Just got props from Keits. He said I’m da best Rose he’s ever seen!:woot::party::lovin:

THEY JUST DON’T KNOW

Good job Luigi for repping at MWC, I hope they recorded some of your matches for us.

Don’t rep too hard though, we gotta keep the scarf shit under wraps. :lol:

I’d like to thank the one who said you can throw Rog out of dash punches. Hilarious.

I was throwing RAWGs out of hella dash punches:rofl:

I have a couple matches and some other dude recorded my 3v3 matches

But yeah, can’t up too many, cuz peeps will figure me out and I’ll lose:rofl:

25th was pretty low to me, but I think it’s cuz there were mad byes going around for some reason and I played all of my matches:bluu:

Oh yeah, jumpink lk BEATS Bison’s hk if done right. So does far mp if you’re on the ground. Combo the mp into ex drill to shift the momentum

j.HP kills lariat.

lk Soul Spiral beats Blanka Ball

Block+Punish Hondabutt with s. HK.

Shoryuken gets beaten out by Illusion Spark :P.

Flash Kick is pretty easy.

And about j. lk, is it neutral jump or jump towards?

Oh i know about the Scarf shes a sexy beast i honestly play her hardcore lol

@ Sanford - Keits told me you played Dan:confused:

Either way, you can’t see me so… meh

**Can you interrupt Rose’s c.lp, c.lk, c.lp? **

I actually used j.lk to stuff a Sagat s.HK. There was a slight WTF pause in the game for both of us, then we played on.

Thanks for the info!

No idea, have no idea what the frame data is.

I played a 2 bar Ryu who stuffed c.lp c.lk c.lp on block everytime… I’m not sure if you can interrupt it or if it was due to online.

Why are you playing 2 bar in the first place?

**I don’t…

but he goes to an MK forum, one which I have been a part of for years, so I know these dudes.

I don’t think even that’s a good enough excuse to play them, I was a fool for it… **

Anyone know how to play Guile?

I can beat him in mid range, but far range and rushdown, I have problems.

rose has a ton of stuff for geifs jhp takes out lariet so does standing far HP and sweep kick and also foward HK
Heres a good tactic throw out a spark if he lariets do the foward hp or hk and push him back onto it and get a good 2 hit
Also time the end of the lariet for an unblockable ultra!

Up close watch for overheads and throws. Long range you should have no problems since Guile has to charge and you don’t. You can make him back in to a corner if he tries to fireball way wirh you. I’m pretty sure far mk beats his crouching kickc iirc. If you EVER see a sweep you can stuff the second hit with a c.mp into drill or even super/ultra.

@ Luigi, Even with lp. S. Spark, I still have a lot of ending lag. Sonic boom is faster, and EX Sonic Boom is even faster. He beats me at far range, because he’s good at pre charging EVERYTHING :[.

I can deal with him close range, but if he keeps me at bay with flash kick or grab throws, overheads etc, it makes me want to puke.

Guile also owns me, which sucks 'cause I see sooooooooo many of them in G2, more than blanka and balrog combined. What do you do when he follows his lp boom? you can’t reflect since he’ll just jump over it and hp reflect doesnt hit him if he jumps soon enough. sliding under slow fireballs is a problem for me and I usually trade at best.

You gotta mix doing fireballs with reflectins. Use reflect to close space, just walk behind it. Also absorb a few to get dat free meter. Close rande you gotta try to shut mim down with c.mp and safe drills. Next time I play Aegis Neglector I’ll tape a few matches. His Guile is the only one tha gives me problems.
EDIT - If you cant slede under them, just block low and warch for his overhead. You should be able to tell when he wants a throw. Just watch as close as you can

I just owned the shit out of a Guile not 20 minutes ago. I set him up with a nasty surprise especially if he likes to follow his booms. What I do is mp reflect FADC back dash then ultra. If he does anything other than block he’s toast. IF you don’t have ultra, just wait till the last minute then slide under his boom and hit him. If he jumps over you throw him as soon as he lands. Guile is not really a bad match up at all for Rose. You just have to play patiently and don’t get too reckless.

If he likes to do his stupid double sweep, just block the 1st one then c.mp, soul spiral to get him with the program that doing that scrub BS won’t work against Rose. Rose has better pokes than guile and better range. There is really no reason to be afraid of him.

Hmm you can break the doub. sweep? Awesome. Most people you play online dont know how rose plays. With this in mind, dont reflect a lot against guile. Wait till he throws that slow one and chase. Bam, FADC Ultra.

BTW. I just faced a Guile earlier oddly enough. I was chasing him back (His jump’ins and Sonic Booms weren’t working). So I jumped back, threw out the FADC LP SS, and chased. Well he starts jumping back. I’m charging forward…I jump forward…hes cornered…I slide…whiff…Ultra. SS hits for some unknown reason (lol) and Ultra.

Oh I love when I actually can use that!
