nothing new, ive been playing AE since the new location opened in NY and im back to getting mad abotu this shit lol
anyone else find the akuma matchup kinda retarded now?
i haven’t noticed anything particularly bad against akuma. i still fare quite well against shotos, provided i manage to keep them at bay.
now that akuma players know that we can’t u2 on wakeup, we’re like everyone else: SOL. What’s worse is we have a pretty shietty reversal at that. One knockdown and we’re pretty must free against akuma’s. On his wakeup though, he has all the options in the world: gamble w/ a dp, block/tech, demon away. 3 viable options vs 1 viable option(ex spiral is such a joke) =/.
I’ve been playing U1 exclusively since AE dropped, just to transition. I hardly miss U2 now, U1 gives Rose more comeback potential and a real >400 damage punish once every round. I was never good with U2 other than a get out of jail free card ;).
Akuma isn’t tooooo bad, IMO. Everyone has problems v. Vortex, that’s the point. Ex. SS FADC for almost free wakeup if you really have to (what, you think dp is safe?). At least reflects deal with runaway Akuma, and if he throws unsafe demon flip you get to ex ST/ U1 (and those HURT on Akuma).
by safe i mean that i’ve seen akuma’s normals beat rose’s ex spiral but i’ve never seen rose’s normal beat akuma’s dp =/. a gamble is suppose to be a gamble if you time/guess correctly you should win/reset the situation, but that’s not always the case for rose.
Super Rose > AE Rose > Vanilla Rose.
she’s still solid. c.mp nerf is noticeable. you have to be careful when playing footsie and not just **spam **it.
spacing is 100% crucial.
i got frustrated with AE Cammy so i picked Rose. my win Streak:
i was sporting U2 the whole 22 wins. orbs hitbox seemed smaller.
the cr. mp nerf is noticeable, although not GAMECHANGING of her gameplay.
It’s still good; don’t get a misconception that it’s useless.
definitely, yeah cr.mp is still solid. :tup:
Here’s what the roller coaster Rose has been.
Rose wins the poll, gets a place in Vanilla.
Vanilla; Rose was a sub-par character that didn’t have too many defensive options. Her backdash and throw range was good, her normals were still bomb.
— However, Rose was complained that she didn’t have a good reversal, a comboable soul throw when it looked like it should work, but she had too high damage on her normals.
In Super; Rose was brought up to have nerfed normals, an amazing ultra, but her backdash. She was heavily complained about, even though she didn’t have damage output or good defensive options.
In AE; Capcom is tired of the bitching. There aren’t that many Rose players anyway. Let’s nerf her BEST normal, let’s nerf her BEST wake up option, let’s put her in a game that doesn’t fit her playstyle. They hope that there won’t be anyone complaining about Rose from now on. They can deal with the bitching of the 2 Rose players out there, but not the 7million street fighter players out there that can’t handle blocking ultra 2 and taking the 30 points of chip.
I’m done.
Most definitely they handled Rose wrong, they even nerfed her building meter. I would understand if they nerfed her getting so much revenge meter (which I think they did anyway). But her normals should have been left alone… sigh
Even though Rose was crucially nerfed, she can still survive without her only get off me
now its starting to look she’s going to have a cat and mouse play style,
So we have a verdict on cr.mp… how is st.mk? I heard that was nerfed as well, but can anyone chime in on how differently it feels?
her st. far mk was actually BUFFED.
It’s better imo, always stuffs Ryu’s cr. mk with less strict timing 100% of the time.
@filipinoman
Yea i definitely agree with your assessment. High level play is so much more difficult now. In SSF4 it was ok to play offensive rose because even after getting knocked down you can keep pressure/take away their pressure with u2. Now i feel i have to play her 70 % defensive/30 % offensive. Only safe pressure and time outs for me from now on =/. I can’t get used to playing so slow paced though.
Not it’s not. it’s nerfed, but Ryu C.MK is nerfed harder. Relatvely compared to that move it’s better. To 99% of the rest of the moves: it’s nerfed.
I wouldn’t say it’s a nerf at all. From playing AND watching, it beats all lows free now, never trades. Still has good range. It’s a buff. You can take it in and be negative because you can’t use it 1/8th of a character space farther, but it’s better. It honestly does what it’s supposed to.
@Jason87
Old-school (I mean Vanilla Roses) played rushdown Rose. Rushdown is a viable style with Rose, it’s just not as good as the actual rushdown characters. It’s just a matter of how good you are @ blocking, anticipating, and guessing when you do get knocked down. I honestly think that she doesn’t have a bad match with top 3 in the game, the twins and Fei Long. She can handle them.
U1 threatens people, even Vipers, screws over Viper’s wake up game. They are too scared to press a button. Play as you will. Rose is definitely not the bottom of the bottom. Give AE a while on consoles, won’t take long until they go “oh Rose has this and this that makes her ‘cheap’” and they decide to take her safe spiral from a range and her ability to reflect and just take out her ultra and super meter out the game completely ;).
Hi i’m a French’s Rose player,i enjoy play whith her since SFA2(i’m not very good,but i do training)…i don’t speak very well english,but i do training.i don’t know if there is a section for intoduce himself…
i take a lot of useful information in SRK forum and now i would like to participate…and i have a lot of questions(sorry if my questions have been answered before)
for now i try to find some video of Rose AE specialy vs Oni and vs Evil Ryu…
(but also new video vs Yun and Yang)
We have many Rose players that visit from all around the world, don’t worry.
They’ll guide you through.
but since there aren’t too many good Oni’s and Evil Ryu’s and there aren’t many Roses in GENERAL, there aren’t many of those videos. 
Also there ain’t many Japanese AE Rose players
Pretty much aside from Jiban and Sako, there aren’t really any other noticeable Japanese Rose players. Unfortunately you won’t be able to find many Rose vs. Oni and Rose vs. E. Ryu videos just yet, but once the game is available on console, I’m sure it will be a lot easier to find matches of both match-ups. Welcome to the Rose forums, and we’d be happy to answer your questions :).
