Introduction

Everyone rumored, no one believed.

The comeback we were all yearning for.

Roll, truly the last and greatest Ultimate All-Star of our time, finally emerges from her brother's shadow in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. Going from a virtually unplayable clone of Mega Man in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, so bad that even Servbot is more viable, Roll has been given her own original moveset based around her lethal housekeeping skills and her hi-tech broom.

Roll is a unique character in TvC. She's used mostly on anchor due to her strong assist and ability to control neutral with her notorious j.C. She can do situationally very high damage with 2 separate power up mechanics, but can have problems converting off of some hits. She is also the undisputed ruler of unburstable damage, with a number of OTG hits that can not be escaped.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Small body privilege Relaunches from anywhere on the screen Healing Can pump out unburstable damage when needed Good DHCs Splash powerup gives her an insane damage boost Assist is annoyingly good Can wavedash her air dash	Normals are a little stubby Can't convert off j.C normally like the rest of the cast Despite her overhead being good her followup options are limited unless she gambles on baroque Health isn't lowest but is down there
