Super Street Fighter IV AE/Rose

Rose

A fortune teller from Europe, Rose has a mastery of "Soul Power," the spiritual opposite of M. Bison's "Psycho Power." Thus, Rose has taken it upon herself to put an end to M. Bison and the last remaining source of Psycho Power. However, in an encounter in which Rose felt she had defeated M. Bison, it turned out that Bison inhabited her body at "death" and survived through using her as a vessel. Once Bison found a new body, Rose awoke and vowed to recover and make sure to finish the job next time they meet.

In a nutshell

Rose does not excel in any particular area. Her offense nor defense are particularly strong, but taking advantage of that and taking advantage of her perceived vulnerability is what makes Rose effective. Rose is a character who is like a mouse trap, always baiting you and then hurting you whenever you think you're free to move. She appears to leave herself vulnerable in so many situations, so it's very easy to trick opponents into opening themselves up and taking damage from her counter attacks. There is definitely a lot of risks you have to take with Rose, but those who do it right can easily reap the rewards.

AE ver. 2012 Changes

Soul Satellite

Changed startup from 7F to 5F. Fixed issue whereby EX Soul Reflect could be triggered accidentally.

Near Standing Medium Kick

Extended hit stun by 1F, giving the attacker a possible +4F advantage on a hit.

Soul Spark

Changed Super Meter build-up from 20 to 30 for light, medium, and heavy versions.

Soul Piede

Changed total action frames from 33F to 29F. Increased reach by moving hitbox forward. Shrunk active period hurtbox.

Crouching Medium Kick

Fixed issue whereby counter-hit damage was taken when attacked in any frame after hit detection started.

EX Soul Reflect

Made invincible to projectiles from start until 7th frame. Activated projectile return hitbox from 5th frame onward.

EX Soul Spiral

Changed damage from 100 to 120.

AE Changes

• Her Super will no longer work when there is a Soul Spark on the screen. It is still possible to Cancel into Super from a Soul Spark, though.
• Soul Satellite has no startup invincibility.
• Soul Spark meter building has been adjusted.
• Crouching MP has a 4 Frame start-up, and the hitbox sticks out in front of the hurtbox, making it easy to use for pokes, combos, and such.
