Introduction

A beautiful woman wearing a tight outfit and wielding a demonic sword. She also can attack with demons for short attack bursts, and create a temporary duplicate of the blade itself.

Even though she was unsuccessful in finding the "Sword of Dynasty" from within the Asura Blade incident of three years ago, Rose Mary had still succeeded in restoring her family's kingdom back to its former glory. Upon hearing and learning about the mystery of the lost continent from a young boy she had met, Rose Mary decides to investigate in order to see and learn on what's going on at the moment.

Rose Mary is a zoner character that has great range and a teleport that grants her excellent tools to use her range to slowly chip away at the enemy's life bar.

very long normal first hit can be canceled into normals and specials but the second one can't. first hit's hitbox is much shorter than the second used to combo into her specials reliable when used to catch falling opponents to cancel into specials

Rose will stand while the blade continually rises. From moves 1-3, this move can cancel into any special, allowing you to teleport away safely while the opponent is still in hitstun has long recovery but good startup and will win against most jump-ins

Sweep that covers a sizeable portion of the screen will catch a lot of off guard opponents

Excellent move, has amazing priority, insane range and cancelable on hit. best aerial normal in the game and for good reason very hard to use this in combos very easy and great to practice juggles

on hit, Causes a big wall bounce and makes puts the opponent on indefinite hitstun until they hit the ground or use meter to tech it can be combo'd universally with A>B>C or A>B>Launcher combos. most characters can add an air special or delay the launcher and do a ground special if you hit an opponent with 3 launchers in the same combo they become completely invincible until waking up from the knockdown state a lot of EX moves (Rose's 214EX), few meterless specials (Taros j.236x) and very rarely normals (Rokurouta's 6C) have last hits with the properties of a launcher. these hits count towards the 3 launcher cap.

Air launcher

No difference from the ground version, but some characters have air launchers with slightly less recovery frames

This replaces grab, a quick attack that stuns blocking opponents. common followups are combos, launchers, knockdowns and some supers countered by not blocking, jumping or attacking back

-	-	-	-	M	O	-	-
Rose summons a weak demon and fires him forward outclassed by its air version in every aspect, especially startup Button determines speed and startup EX version summons a stronger demon, it hits 5 times. Does the Same amount of damage as 2 normal Demon Souls. Don't use this, save your meter.

Messatsu Wave - メサツウェーブ
236A/B/C

you want this one

The projectile

EX version is just a shotgun of this

Demon Soul's cooler older brother. An actually useful move, Rose will throw a demon at fast speeds at differing angles depending on the button. Keep in mind that once this move is used she's vulnerable and can't do anything until she touches the ground.

Great DP. Who needs I-frames when your entire body and the surrounding atmosphere is a hitbox? Rose Leaps into the air, more horizontally than vertically, as she is covered by her spinning sword. will knock down if done close EX version is longer and faster

Rose Teleports in a different location, depending on the location the opponent's facing. A : teleports to the back wall B : teleports between the back wall and the opponent C : teleports behind the opponent very fast and can be used out of blockstrings for barely any punishment EX version is a different move alltogether, Instead of teleporting, Rose Mary turns black with green demon wings, and rushes forwards. Does up to 15 hits, last hit is a launcher. Does magnificent damage and sets up for easy combos

Supers

Soul Hellfire - ソウル・ヘルファイア
236-236A/B/C

"Rose is kinda hot"

-	70(53+17)	-	-	M	O	HKD	depends on distance
A giant demon appears behind rose and spits a large fireball which stays in place. can only be comboed into, as the 17 true startup frames allow most attacks to recover Will hit up about two-thirds of a screen's distance, and does up to 19 hits. The last hit is a v.launcher, although the opponent goes much higher than they would from most V. Launchers. according to an old DazeX1 replay, there's a glitch where characters hit by this never come back after being launched very high up. no one can replicate this but it exists for now :)

Boost mode (22+ABC)

Double Soul

• Rose gains a second sword, adding more hits to most of her normal moves
• Normal attacks that gain extra hits usually do less damage per hit, but more damage overall.
• Pretty much all of her normal attacks are cancellable except 2C.
• Demon Soul fires two demons in a straight line.
• Aerial Demon Soul fires two demons that travel at different angels. Using the A button is equal to a normal A-button and B-button attack at the same time, B is equal to B and C, and
