I agree I wish she was played more for more representation and more in-depth analysis/match-ups like some other characters.
I love playing Rose now even more because I now have balrog as a second and never, ever received a message saying ‘nice balrog’. Everyone just hates losing to him, like I hate losing to Sagat players even if they play well.
With Rose I can win or lose, play good or average, people will usually be positive about it. And every win feels deserved.
funny you say that because I think the opposite. It’s true I’ve gotten a few “nice Rose gg’s” but for the most part, I find that people see her on the screen and just assume they are going to take an easy win and when they lose, they get PO’d.
ya i get this a lot too. More hate mail from rose then when i used to use akuma…
I get the Acku treatment, I get more good games and “nice rose” than I get hatemail. In fact I think only got about 3 or 4 hatemail messages ever when I was playing as Rose. I got much more than that when I used to use Fuerte as a alt.
I remember one time I got a message from some random casual matches I had and the guy, who was a Bison player, said I had a nice Rose, but my Guile was a runaway pussy. So maybe it just depends on the character you’re using and how you’re using them. I personally think the Bison player was too rushdown-oriented to see the error in his method regardless of either character I used.
Will Soul Throw work as anti air in Super? I mean without meter of course.
Probably not. Don’t really need it to work like that now that it actually does have a purpose.
Well even the new purpose will be limited to because of the FADC so having it work as an AA wouldnt hurt it at all. Hopefully it can catch all juggle states so that way when you Cr.HP AA and it his the early enough you can ST that would be pretty good.
I also kind of like that she’s less popular, but on the other hand I’m worried that means she’ll be left out of future versions of Street Fighter.
Look on the bright side, Remy, Q, Urien, Oro, Elena, Necro, Twelve, Gill, Sean, Alex, and Hugo (as a playable character), aren’t in SF4. Nor are Sodom, Rolento, Birdie, R. Mika, Karin, and Charlie. And SF4 is the most popular SF since 2, so I say if there’s yet another SF, and it’s an SF that anybody will want, then Rose will probably be in it. There are only so many Hakans for Capcom to make before calling down the more classic characters.
And if Soul throw could be used on reaction to beat out jump normals, then Rose wouldn’t be a psychically driven character.
Edit: Admittedly, I would consider buying a SF3:4th Inning.
True true. I Think alot of Rose players win because the opponent doesnt know her as she is lesser played.
This surprised factor becomes ineffective vs certain players over time.
Why do I care about Rose? Well she kinda a secret main i use for ppl that don’t know her.
Cr.hp doesn’t put them in a juggle state so it wouldn’t work. I think what they’ve done is given hp reflect a free juggle set up rather than increase the throws juggle potential but if they have done that anit air f+hk, soul throw would be ace.
I would actually not mind them letting me have some other ways to get soul throw in. :rolleyes:
Oh i know it doesnt make a juggles state. I guees i should have been more clear but, i ment when you AA them and they reset with the back flip. It would be nice if we could potienal ST them out of the float, but it should have a limitation like Ex.ST only or only if they where AA’d very early. I dont know just imagining.
Also i like your Avatar it looks epic as hell, like some 90’s anime lol.
Cheers it’s one of Maj’s newest set of screen shots http://sonichurricane.com/?p=2293 like your’s too always did enjoy Iceman in MvC2. See what you’re getting at but it would either mean changing cr.hp to a knockdown attack or giving anti air throws some new mechanics, but I mean hey we have combos from sweeps now, anything is possible.
Oh I saw those a while back on a link for eventhubs when they had up those and the abstract shots with sim and fei ex.rekka under his yoga tower. Thanks Iceman is my dude.(though im not as good with him as strider) I wonder if her drills got changes damage/frame wise? If the damage buff to the spirals happened rose will be very scary on cross up like in Alpha when cross up j.mk,cr/st.hpxxHk.Spiral was a heavy hitter.
Yeh, good old days.
I worried about that, too. But I think her inclusion in Street Fighter IV kind of seals the deal that her connection to M. Bison will keep her around for any future mainstream title that he appears in. She still manages to constantly appear in the comics after her apparent death at his hands.
I noticed this, too, since I finally got around to reading the comics.
Anyway, on topic, I never thought Rose needed a whole lot to be competitive. I prefer to play solid characters who are pretty average without any glaring strengths or an abundance of bad match-ups, and Rose fits that IMO. Plus, she’s sexy. 
They gave us what looks to be a very usable Ultra2 and gave soul throw some comboability. I with they had improved EX Soul Spiral a bit, and maybe an overhead would have been nice, but I’m pretty good with the changes.
