The future is now! Rose, the Soul Powered Savant, has made her destined return to Street Fighter V with a plethora of new moves, a revamped stage, and a handful of awesome costumes. With her tarot cards in hand, Rose is a character that can enfeeble her opponents or power herself up in various ways.  

Rose originally joined the cast in Street Fighter Alpha and stood out as an Italian fortune teller embued with Soul Power. She actually shares some of the soul of the evil dictator M. Bison but has vowed to rid the world of his evil. Last time we saw Rose in Street Fighter IV, she had been gravely injured by M. Bison, but was somehow saved by Guy. Since then, her whereabouts were largely unknown, but we know at some point she became Menat’s master, teaching her the ways of Soul Power with moves such as “Soul Spiral” and “Soul Reflect.”

Rose is now back and stronger than ever, bringing with her some new moves in addition to her old specialties, allowing for completely different offensive or defensive playstyles. Let’s peer into the crystal ball and see what Rose has in store for us in SFV. Check out her trailer below:

With Rose’s redesign comes a revamped battle theme! Oursound team worked hard on maintaining Rose’s elegance while also upping the tempo to bring more excitement to her track. Dance to her new upbeat theme:

Rose has got new moves with some revamped classics

Rose brings with her a plethora of news moves, including her new anti-air move “Soul Bind,” and her new zoning tool “Soul Punish.” Some of her existing moves got some tweaks too, such as her “Soul Spark,” which can now be executed mid air, and the EX version of the “Soul Spiral,” which is now projectile invincible! For a full rundown of her special moves, V-System mechanics, and some behind-the-scenes look at her new costumes and design, check out the PlayStation Blog on Rose.

When facing off against Rose, be sure to pay attention to the color of Rose’s scarf when she uses special moves. You may have noticed that her scarf will glow different colors. Each color represent a different attack strength. It’s a nice little touch our development team added to give Rose a bit more flair.

• Purple = Light attack
• Blue = Medium attack
• Green = Heavy attack

Another topic we covered in the PlayStation Blog is Rose’s dynamic victory screen.” On her way out, she tosses a tarot card that flies towards the screen; there are 23 total cards, each featuring a different character from the Street Fighter universe!

Rose is available now in SFV as part of the Season 5 Premium Pass and Character Pass, in-store for $5.99, or in-game for 100,000 Fight Money. To give you a better idea of how she plays in SFV, we have some Rose vs. Rose gameplay footage. Check it out:
