The Power of U2: SSF4 Rose Match-up Thread

[Saitsuofleaves]

Its cross up ability…is there ambiguous setup or pretty much if she’s next to you and jumps your direction its a cross up?

on safe jumping it, from what i understood 3-4 frame invincible moves were not “practically” possible to safe jump except jumping soooo early your kinda giving it away that your safe jumping.

thanks for all the info.

P.S … wade barret equals the truth.

If you mean the vortex…it’s only ambiguous if you somehow got on the other side of her without paying attention after she activates U2. Either that or after a Soul Throw where she lands on the other side but that can be a bit risky.

Her U2 is actually pretty easy to safe jump. And if you “give it away” that you’re safe jumping does it really matter? It’s safe for a reason. At worst, her U2 comes out that you baited and the situation is basically reset. At best, she does nothing and you can rush her down.

And yes…Barret does equal the truth.

There is? I plan to go to CTF next Friday, since I hosted a training session this Friday. For tactics, I thought it was always a good idea to lure Akuma in with absorbing and reflecting projectiles. I definitely recommend using U2 in this match-up (not surprising?) to stop some of his demon flip pressure.

he won’t do it he knows better. you should come. also i was so close to beating Sanford’s viper. the whole room was watching.

Play it like you would a shoto.

Try to keep it far ranged, Soul Throw on reaction Dive Kicks. Slide in sparingly.

Use safe spirals to do tons of damage because he has no health.

cr fierce is one of your best friends in this particular match up.

You win the footsie battle because cr. mp beats most, if not all his pokes.

Just be careful not to eat ch. hp tatsu shoryu or some resets from hell rofl.

hey, i’m a bison player and i’m planning to go to a tournament here in cali soon. i’m trying to identify the options every character can use to shut down the EX Psychocrusher as a getaway option on bison’s wakeup. For example, after the knockdown, ryu has jump in OS DP, chun li can downforward roundhouse and kick from behind, and she also has an OS c.hk or s.hk upon jump in.

What are rose’s options to beat this escape option? If you are extra generous, please let me know how you option select/straight up beat EX Devil’s reverse and teleport as well thanks in advance!

[Rose]

OS Soul Satellite.

If you Spiral through it, it will do the weird hitbox thing and you will just end up living on opposite sides.

Rose can’t really do anything about it unfortunately. EX Devil’s Reverse can be Soul Thrown out of and Teleport can be baited for some damage :).

EX Psycho Crusher can only be Soul Satellited, Illusion Sparked, or throw him out of it, as well as some well time jb fierce.

If not, just block and punish it for Rose :).

Bison is a difficult match up for her (:

Wow, you did? Did you use Rose against his Viper, or Chun? I managed to get his Viper to 40% or so in both rounds, but I never won a round. That probably doesn’t count for anything, though.

i used Rose. Chun gets mauled in that match-up.

Oh, I see. That’s great. I don’t really have a lot of experience against Viper, so I have a bit of trouble in this match-up. So I entered a SRK online tournament today, and I ended up facing other players that also used Rose, so I had to do a bunch of mirror matches. After having the training session yesterday and the matches today, I need a break from mirrors lol.

im using Rose more and more (unfortunately she doesnt cover my mains bad mathcups, oh well !)

but seriously, the hardest matchup i faced so far is a U2 Blanka.

also i struggled against Dhalsim.

[sksksksksk222]

I struggle against Dhalsim as well sometimes, but the key to winning this match-up is patience.

for u2 blanka

YouTube - Rose

dhalsim - dont jump, walk towards him, fdc, stay on him. just go to i playwinner website or youtube and look at rose v dhaslim videos

[Rose]

Jumping sparingly is fine on Dhalsim.

I would say keep it far range, but not too far so that you can telegraph fireball teleports and still be out of yoga fire range lolol

[Shin_Oni]

play against a U2 Blanka the same as you would if he had U1. If he does Anti-Ground U2, jump, U1. If you don’t have meter, jump, slide.

[Rose]

Jump U1 doesn’t work vs Blanka U2, since U2 beats U1 clean.

but don’t even use U1 in the Blanka match up, U2 is far better.
