Overview Combos Matchups Strategy

Introduction

Rolento is travelling the world to seek allies to further strengthen his cause. In particular, Rolento is searching for an old rival named Cody in the hopes that he may help him build his own utopia.


Pros	Cons
One of the most mobile characters in the game with super jump and a variety of rolls/leaps Back roll offers a way to instantly reposition quickly Wall jump and super jump make escaping corners easy Super jump lets him start air pressure from much further away and can be used to setup cross-ups or escape situations Rekkas offer good combo damage in many situations s. LP cannot be ducked and is plus on block, which can create very oppressive pressure for him. c. MK can also be confirmed from counter-hit. Great normals on the ground with c. FP, s. FP and slide Jump jab is an incredibly quick and long range air to air A very effective air grab due to his super jump arc Far s. FP is a great pre-emptive anti-air from closer up Level 3 tripwire super is safe on block Good meter build post custom One of the best alpha counters in the game (V-ISM) that lets him potentially setup customs off it	No meterless reversal Lacks any way to combo into his supers Has a fat standing hurtbox that makes him easy to cross-up Rekkas are very unsafe on block Grounded anti-airs are somewhat spacing-specific. b. FP is a key anti-air normal that's only available on V-ISM. s. MP isn't what it was in A2. Pogo (d. MK in the air) has a weird punishable bounce that prevents it from being the god jump-in/mobility tool it is in A2 or CvS2. Ground starter customs are very difficult and only do mediocre damage due to high scaling from rekkas Super jump input overlapping makes crouch cancelling harder Being hit during a super jump always counts as a counter-hit and puts you into juggle state Technically has an infinite, but is basically TAS-only

The Basics

Which Ism?

ANYONE, he is other of the versatile ones

A-Ism

No reliable way to combo into his supers. Not worth using over V-ISM.

V-Ism

Easily his best ISM. Can activate from a variety of situations, as long as the player has the execution to get enough damage. Makes jumping around with him a lot safer.

X-Ism

Forced super jump is more of an annoyance than anything. Gains a much better pogo (no punishable bounce) and can be very annoying, but generally gets blown up by reaction activates.
