I didnt get what you ment by this. Are you saying its bad to cross up into U2. If so why? Its not a bad thing to do at certain times, as it can beef up the cross up or setup a good pressure sistuation depending on the combo you do after activation.
I use that too. If they block you still have the momentum to try tricky stuff. If they dont, then you have one hell of a combo.
AFAIK the crossup to U2 should still work, in fact even be easier. I dont see how it would not.
it didn’t I was playing a sagat (WHY DID THEY BUFF HIS FUCKING TIGER KNEE?!??!?!) and he ex uppercutted me after i activated it from a hit confirmed mk crossup.
the sad part is, I’m not the greatest with execution so learning a new character for me sucks balls. im trying makoto, but I have issues dashing to the left.
My secret to “success” is don’t get knocked down. Rose definitely has some exceptional preemptive attacks, and if you don’t know how to play preemptively, then Rose isn’t the right character for you. Zoning is just fine, but dive kick pressure is annoying.
about crossup to U2: it’s hard to connect. I’m sure it still works, but you gotta hit it deep.
You do know who you are talking to right…?
This is why I don’t think it’s good, you can’t confirm a MK crossup > U2. You have to hit SS -immediately-, there is no actual time given to you to actually react with activating. A hit confirm is something you can do and look at the screen to see its hitting, then confirm to the rest of it (drill > super, cr.LP > cr.LK > cr.MP etc). My thinking is that the move is better used in guaranteed situations, unless you have a large life advantage, and even then, activating at neutral in front of them has a higher likelihood of landing one/both of the orb hits than a crossup.
As for how Rose is in AE, I have no doubt she’ll be a mediocre character, but that just means she’ll have a lot of even matchups and she’s an easy as fuck character so whatever. They listened to all the players that wanted an offense game apparently, nobody liked lame being good, braindead ultras, why risk doing things when I can sit back and cheese OS all day. I guess we should be fine with the shift there? But yeah. Rose isn’t a high effort character, aside from links, so I’m not expecting much of tier placings. This is all imo. I’m going to mostly just play Arcana Heart and socially play Super like I always do :lol:
I think your last paragraph hit it on the head.
She’s gonna be the character that doesn’t fit the game.
Because of her unorthodox playstyle where she really isn’t too offensive oriented.
Someone said they buffed her focus attack, is this true?
Well Sagat, chances are you were hitting him too early because he is so large. If all is correct, the U2 startup is now 4 frames instead of 5. So it should be easier overall to combo into.
Not having a get the hell off me move has hurt her intimadation factor alot. Also the rush down players I’ve played in AE can lock her down alot better in AE with out having to worry about an solid reversal. Also her meter building being nerfed hurts her game as well.
Only buff I’d fix EX spiral. Only being invincible on the active frames means opponents can can throw out meaties pretty much for free on wake up. With the meter building nerf, one stock for a reversal would be nice.
But personally, her buffs in console super while needed made me lazy. In vanilla when she sucked I had to work hard for my wins, which at the time is something I liked about the character. I’ll just need to put more work in like I used too and play a lot more mind games and solid mixups. For vanilla players her being low tier is nothing new.
Even with how U2 is in super, Rose had to work for her win.
So next week’s developer’s blog includes Rose. Hope we’ll get some solid information, possibly something we didn’t know about.
All I’m really expecting though is just a short blurb on how they decided to change U2.
My hopes are very low.
I have a feeling that they’ll touch on Rose’s far standing fierce, since it appeared to many that it got a buffed hitbox.
Yeah, good call.
Acku: I know lol.
Playing Rose, I’ve learned to hope for the worse.
I don’t personally care. lol.
Have you tried AE?
I’ll be going to Round 1 tonight. Holler if you’re gonna go.
I’ve played a good 6 games from time to time everytime I go to West Covina and I ask to stop by the boba-place close to Super Arcade.
I know where Rd 1 is, but I never go there sadly.
Round 1 is cool man.
I picked up Hugo and we went to go play some games, its not too far from my house.
After playing AE for quite a while… Rose is fine, nothing major, the only major change is that 0 frame Ultra, which imo it takes more energy to use as a 0 frame advantage move against players who are attacking, than to avoid using it under those circumstances.
The orbs still do their job. She still has footsies, her pokes are still good, and she is currently a major underrated character.
Also, imo Yun has a hard time against Rose.
I’ll probably be going back to the arcades on Tuesday.
