Rose gets a pass for Street Fighter IV

Tuesday 30 December 2008 @ 11:35 am | By Random J 4 Comments

For reasons unknown to me and I’m sure many other Street Fighter fans out there: Capcom chose to include Rose in the home versions of Street Fighter IV. Rose had to be one of the most boring, useless un-memorable, un-inspired and crap characters in the Street Fighter Alpha series. She was absolute shite. Her only quirk was that she could reflect fireballs, she had more masculine legs than Chun-Li, gravity defying hair (which I’m sure Capcom would say was floating as a result of psycho powers) and a foot that looked like it bulging out of her high heel.

Rose was a really odd choice. There are many other, more worthy characters in the Alpha series that could’ve been placed in the game instead of Rose. I would’ve greatly welcomed Guy, Rainbow Mika, Sodom or Birdie.

Street Fighter IV is still gonna rock and at least we got Sakura and Cammy back. But honestly…Rose!?

Blarg. I still have nightmares about Rose’s foot. I agree they should have gone with a better character. Personally, I was hoping for Alex, but they’ve probably got enough grapplers.

Alex would’ve been really cool. But with Abel in the game they probably wouldn’t want to include Alex too – as they’re quite similar. Plus, with Alex being included in Tatsunoko VS Capcom, Capcom may’ve wanted to give another character some air time. *shrugs* Although Alex would still have been a better choice than Rose.

Speaking of Alex, I completely forgot about Street Fighter III’s characters! Although many of them weren’t that brilliant: Alex was cool and I also really liked Ibuki. I would’ve liked to have seen her in IV.
