I’m thinking the same thing!
On another note, i use vega as a secondary character in sf4. I think I’m pretty good with him. I use him as sort of a hit and run, annoying poking character. Now i just watched finger cramps vid on rolento and they said he was hard to use. So do you guys think I’ll have a hard time using him? Or an easier time since he plays similarly to claw?
If you play both Dictator and Claw and are comfortable with them, I’d say you’d feel right at home for the most part.
He’s my second favorite SF character right behind Bison, so I’m pretty glad they’re both similar.
I do play with dictator as well and i think I’m good with him also. (i use everyone in the shadaloo pack minus sagat)
I just started playing Bison as well he does seem similar to Bison, so i feel in(even though ive been playing SFA2 for a while now lol)
hes more like a combination of gen and vega. unlike vega, he isn’t fucked in the ass when knocked down.
Hey, a buddy of mine is going to get SFxT, and he’s thinking of maining Rolento. Now, all he has is a copy of SSF4:AE for the 360. Is there a character he can train with to get an idea on how Rolento should be played, or does he have to get another game (Alpha 2, Alpha 3, CvS2)?
judging by maximilan’s sfxt video, its more like cvs2 rolento than alpha2/3.
yang might be a good place to start learning to do rolento’s bnb.
Yes Yang works really well as to get ready for Rolento
Bison, Chun, Vega or any characters with great footsies/space control in SF4.
so hype for this character. just went through a bunch of CvS2 match footage with Combofiend so I’m really feeling how he plays. amazing space control, footsies, solid damage.
You should look at iyo’s rolento. Scary, unpredictable. He uses dhalsim maki and rolento 2 ratio. Check out his vids on youtube
I never played Alpha but I may play this guy with Hugo until Cody gets in? Would you say Hugo Rolento is good?
i said the day that rolento was revealed that my team would be rolento/guile. i think rolento is even better than i anticipated at that point.
So true. Watching his matches was one of the many reasons I loved CvS2.

Man, now I’m starting to wish Maki also made it into this game lol.
that safe rekka is nasty.
well most are saying -1 on block. Hopefully we can back dash after the 1st one hits, but he has that ridiculous slide that will most likely catch all character who don’t have a godlike backdash (Julia, Xiaoyu)
or standing hp, crouching hp, probably c.mp and standing mk too.
Rolento/Hugo would be pretty good as, theoretically, Hugo solves Rolento’s problem of only doing ok damage and Rolento solves Hugo’s problem of not being able to get in well. Ideally, you would want Rolento to get a combo and in the combo tag in Hugo with a launcher or a meter or w/e and let Hugo do his standard post launcher ender of s.lk xx lp giant palm breaker > shootdown backbreaker. From there Hugo can run his own mix-ups on the opponent’s knockdown without having to worry about getting in, but rather about staying in especially against zoning characters like Sim and Guile.
That is actually going to be the team I’m thinking of running SO UH…
They Are gonna have to nerf Rolento… His Patriot circles are way to Scrubby… Patriot circles have never been that Safe on block ever… You thought Fei longs Rekka’s were overpowered… Rolento’s Patriots circles are plan dumb.:lame:
I Really like Rolento too but did you guy’s see what Combofiend did on Cross assault?!?!? That was just a sneak preview.
