Introduction

Rogue is a mobile rushdown character with a strong mixup and crossups, above average health, and good damage. Rogue’s power drain command grab can increase her stats as well, with effects such as defense up and super armor. To trade for this, Rogue is reliant on assists to help her get in and properly run her mix, and she only has one super that cannot be performed in the air. Due to her own subpar assists and her need for assists, Rogue is generally played as a point character.

TO-DO: Add frame data, damage values, missing sprites, pros and cons.

Gameplay

Rogue is a rushdown, mixup character who can use her air dash and command throws to open up the opponent. Her main strengths are high damage and mobility, but their weaknesses is her dependence on assists.
