truth is when somebody whiffs a fierce DP except maybe cammy and viper, you can neutral jump-in on them if your reaction is on point. and if it’s a fierce DP. you’d be pushing your luck otherwise.
HP FADC spark c.mp spiral is easy enough though. just gotta take the plunge.
Yeah, that’s what I was talking about. In the Alpha series, it used to vary depending on what type of Soul Spark you were using. In this game, though, it seems alright to me. I mean, sure, it can be better, but I’m fine with the way it is because I’m so used to the Alpha hitboxes. I’d rather have the pushback effect back.
yeah i figured it could just be me. Its just something i have to work on, but its annoying as hell when i have SSpark on screen and catch a J.kick to the hand or arm and end up losing a match.
But i didn’t know roses hit boxes and the SSpark hitboxes change depending on the strenght you used. Do or did the other chracters with fireballs have this to.
Rose has weird large hitboxes.
I hate when people catch me from the back when im performing an EX SSpiral. This special has huge hitboxes in the back!
also, slide has weird hitboxes too. Sometimes im able to time the slide against fireballs, and other times i dont, it feels like a matter of luck :S
I don’t think it’s the hit boxes but the recovery of each version. The HP has the slowest startup but fastest recovery and LP has the fastest startup with slowest recovery. If the closer you are the less you want to throw lp SS.
Who says we can’t afford c. mp xx soul spiral?
We can afford all of those.
What we can’t afford is only online. I can do my links perfectly offline.
Ultra though, whole different story.

This it what its like when someone does not respect your reversal and/or anti-air. And Guile has better reversals and anti-airs than Rose. Hopefully Capcom realizes this and will change in SSFIV.
Saqs, is this what your match vs. Ricky looked like? My matches vs KDZ aren’t as bad as this but pretty close to it. :xeye:
I wouldn’t call Flash Kick a better reversal than anything really. Guile’s broken as in skid row.
Ricky probably wasn’t intentionally thinking about not respecting the reversal, it’s just Guile’s is so bad, and Ricky read him so well, keeping the pressure on with cross-ups, and air-air etc., that Dagger G didn’t have an opportunity to use flash kick reliably. The only 2 times the flash kicks actually hit in the 2nd round, were both FADC’d because that’s how unsure Dagger G was about them landing due to the constant pressure. I like Dagger G, but I think his best option would’ve been to turtle. :xeye:
This is all kind of a tangent, and I apologize. Truth of the matter is Ricky got some sweet breaks with his A-A and dive kicks catching c.lk; both of which entail massive damage. Though it’s amazing how focus backdashing can really get people out of those nasty situations, I rarely see it in pro play. Sure Guile’s backdash is about as bad as Rufus’, I’d rather take a s.lk of damage attempting to escape than the full combo. I guess the vets aren’t comfortable with the focus system.

Seth says Rose is one of the characters with “really interesting new things”
sounds pretty cool, glad they are adding fun things to her
Ya im excited to see what they did with her, love using her! maybe she will get some new moves or tweaks that go along with the story line. like when bison takes back what she was holding for him. Like the power she had was holding her back from being more powerful.
Specially soul throw, i love the move, but man it hard to land a lot of the times. But when it does i love it. Just been messing around with it a lot lately for fun.
Well, hearing that gets me excited (even more) about SSF4 for sure 
Killian wouldn’t be saying that if it was just new link combo’s. There have to be either new moves, or some massively different juggle properties on things. We’ll see what makes it into SSFIV, but for now I will stay optimistic.
:woot:
it’s good to hear they won’t be so neglectful of our beloved this time around
Keeping my fingers crossed she gets some love in the next installment :tup:
Oh, she will. I trust that they’ll restore that which makes her the “Inheritor of Soul Power”
interesting… 
Hopefully they make her more like Alpha 2… well at least make her stand more of a chance. Using Rose is more work than most people have to do with other characters ahah.
maybe we get our 3 hit soul spiral back!
Might have to roll with yall niggas in Super. lol.
If interesting new things include a good reversal I’ll be back. Otherwise i’m moving to Guy. Hopefully he doesnt die horribly to Sagat as well.
Probably will still run with her tho for some matchups.
