Notable Changes from USF4 to Omega

Bafcord Omega Doc - Rolento
Detailed Frame Data with USF4 Comparisons - Rolento

• Hurtbox: much wider while standing, taller while crouching
• Throw: slightly shorter range

• Movement Changes:
  • Forward Dash: 1f faster (18f > 17f), slightly shorter distance if inputting button/direction at the end

• Normal Move Changes:
  • cl.5LK - 1f slower (4f), better frame advantage for combos/frame traps
  • 2LK - 2f better hit/block advantage (+5/+2)
  • 2HP - much safer on hit/block at +3/-1 (was -4/-9)
  • 2HK - 100 more stun, 3f worse block advantage; best possible spacing is now -5

• Command Normal Changes:
  • 6HK - better frame advantage, +1/-2 (was -2/-5)

• Special Move Changes:
  • Patriot Circle / Rekka (236P) - LP version can be done once, MP version twice, HP version 3 times
    • EX version costs 2 bars and does a high-damage animation on hit, combos from far range
    • 1st Rekka of each strength is more unsafe on block than USF4 version
    • MP Rekka 2nd hit can FADC into a free juggle state for a full U1 connect or strong mixups
    • HP Rekka 2nd hit can FADC into a grounded extension such as cl.5HP xx 236LK
  • Snare Mine / Grenade (236K) - New move, exploding mine similar to C. Viper's seismo. LK is closest range, HK is farthest range
    • Pushback makes it mostly safe on block, but slow startup allows it to be jumped over for a punish
    • On hit, can juggle into EX Patriot Circle, Super, or into Scouter Jump air juggles
    • EX version is faster (combos from 2MK), safer, and does multiple hits, but has no juggle followup
  • Indomitable Revenger (421P) - New move, 1f startup counter with a DP followup; EX version is just the DP itself
    • LP version parries lowest, MP middle, HP highest; not based on the attack's "guard level", it simply activates if the enemy hitbox makes contact with the parry hitbox
    • The uppercut after successful parry has 7f startup, and may be blocked if the opponent uses a low-recovery attack or a safe jump setup
    • All versions of the uppercut put opponent into free juggle state after FADC
  • Mekong Delta Attack / Hop + Roll (PPP + P) - Meterless version knocks down on hit, EX version 5f worse on block (-10)
  • EX Mekong Delta Air Raid / Backroll + Overhead (214P ~ P) - now -2 on block (was -5)
  • Stinger (623K ~ followup) - EX version no longer allows followup juggle if all 3 knives connect
    • PP followup - throws knives straight forward
    • KK followup - Stinger True - falling knife swing that gives great frame advantage if done low to the ground
  • Scouter Jump (KKK or 2~8) - New command jump, low trajectory; can be cancelled into
    • Air attacks out of this jump do not hit overhead, and can be chained together; cannot use Air 2MK (Pogo)
    • Gains extra juggle potential, allowing meterless combo enders in limited juggle scenarios (e.g. Grenade, KKK~j.LK > j.HK)

• Super/Ultra Changes:
  • Super - 50 more damage, much safer on whiff and block (-4, was -19)
  • Ultra 1 no direct changes, but lost several important juggle routes (EX Patriot Circle, EX Stinger full connect)

• Moves with ending Frame Buffer:

Useful Info

Reversals:

• EX Indomitable Revenger ( / 421+PP) - 6f invincible DP, can FADC on block
• Indomitable Revenger ( / 421+P) - 1f startup counter, but you must guess the proper direction to parry; fast normals can be parry-safe
• EX Mekong Delta Escape / Walljump ( / 214+KK) - Invincible until reaching the wall, can steer left/right to make it harder to punish
• Mekong Delta Attack (flip) ( / PPP) - the initial flip has startup invincibility, but it can easily be reacted to or option selected against
• Super / Ultra 1 / Ultra 2 - all have true invincibility; Super is safe on block

Anti-Airs:

• cl.5MP / far.5MP - good at most ranges, but can struggle vs. crossups or long horizontal jump-ins
• 5HK - can work at far ranges, likely to trade
• j.MP - fast air-to-air that leaves Rolento with strong frame advantage after landing
• HP Indomitable Revenger ( / 421+HP) - high counter that beats jump attacks, but can be baited with empty jump
• EX Indomitable Revenger ( / 421+PP) - invincible uppercut, very effective but fairly short horizontal range
• Ultra 1 / Ultra 2 - can work at some ranges but not the most reliable
  • U2 must be timed so the active frames catch the opponent's landing recovery; timing can change depending on range

Anti-Focus:

• 2MP - multi-hit, can link afterward
• Mekong Delta Attack (~ / PPP ~ P) - roll breaks armor
• Backroll ~ Air Raid (~ / 214P ~ P) - breaks armor, EX version is much faster
• Patriot Circle ( / 236+P) - multi-hit, and EX version breaks armor
• EX Stinger (~P / 623+KK ~ P) - multiple knives can break armor
• Super / Ultra 1 / Ultra 2

Anti-Projectile:

• Mekong Delta Attack (~ / PPP ~ P) - flip must be done preemptively, then roll on reaction to the fireball; EX version does not go under projectiles
• EX Backroll ~ Air Raid (~ / 214PP ~ P) - the overhead hop maintains projectile invincibility, difficult to use on reaction to most projectiles
• Stinger ( / 623+K) - Projectile invuln on startup, can hop over fireballs and pressure the opponent with the knife throw
• Ultra 2 ( / 236236+KKK) - fast and long range, works from around 3/4 screen on reaction
• Ultra 1 ( / 236236+PPP) - much less consistent than U2, but can be used inside ~1/2 screen (may drop out if it hits from too far)
• Snare Mine (Grenade) ( / 236+K) - HK version can force a trade from midrange, and the knockdown gives Rolento more time to reposition
  • LK Grenade can also destroy an incoming fireball, but hard to use consistently

Juggles:

• Snare Mine - limited juggle state
  • EX Patriot Circle (juggle low to the ground; can dash first if too far away)
  • Scouter Jump ~ j.LK > j.HK
  • Dash + cl.5MP reset (followup with Scouter Jump, Stinger, Backroll, etc)
• EX Stinger ~ K (partial connect) - gives free juggle state
  • U1, 2HK, and LP/EX Patriot Circle are consistent followups
• MP Patriot Circle x2 xx FADC - gives free juggle state
• Indomitable Revenger (parry or EX DP) - gives free juggle state
