Asura Buster: Eternal Warriors/Rose Mary

Rose Mary is a beautiful woman wielding a demonic sword. She has the ability to summon demons to attack and can create a temporary duplicate of the blade itself.

Even though she was unsuccessful in finding the "Sword of Dynasty" during the Asura Blade incident three years prior, 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 understand what's happening.

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.

Overview Rose Mary uses her strong fireball game and teleports to make her opponents' life hell.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

Combos

Combos	Dmg	Notes
2A > 2A > 2A > 2A > 2C	32	Basic ground confirm. May have to go into 2C sooner on farther hits.
9 ~ j.A > j.B (2 hit) > j.C (loop)	29	Instant overhead starter. Effective corner carry and potential infinite. Can be followed up with 5B.
