This guide has a companion file, the "Street Fighter Alpha 3 FAQ", which can be found at www.gamefaqs.com. This file was originally an incomplete SFA2 guide that I just beefed up with some A3 information. It's really only for people who maybe don't know this stuff about Rolento. In other words, I never intended it to be a high-quality guide. ;) --==--=====--==-- TABLE OF CONTENTS --==--=====--==-- - The Story - The Moves ======================================================================= THE STORY ======================================================================= Once a captain in the Vietnam War, Rolento employed cruel tactics against the enemy and was eventually discharged. However, his lust for blood had not been sated and he fell in with a formidable gang called Mad Gear that was terrorizing Metro City. The Mad Gear gang was later eradicated when their leader was killed by the mayor of Metro City, Haggar, and his allies Cody and Guy. Rolento seeks revenge against Cody and Guy for what they have done, but he also feels that he should become the new leader of the rebuilt Mad Gear gang instead of Sodom. Rolento originally appeared in the side-scrolling Capcom beat-'em-up, Final Fight. He later appeared in Alpha 2 and is now in Alpha 3 with few changes (most of them good). Manga fans may have noticed that Rolento bears a more than similar resemblance to the Providence Leader from "Fist of the North Star". ======================================================================= THE MOVES ======================================================================= This section shows how to do Rolento's moves and what they look like. It then explains their effectiveness and uses in battle. For the punches and kicks, these are listed from far range ONLY. I haven't had much of a chance to test nor examine his close-up attacks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Light Punch Press LP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If done while standing, crouching, or jumping, Rolento pushes his staff forward horizontally. The range is very short on all versions save the jumping one. You can combo the standing or crouching version into the attack of your choice. The Light Punch is the only Punch attack that Rolento can combo moves into. However, it's far more useful for snuffing attacks up close, and for applying pressure to opponents. Rolento's LP takes a hefty chunk off of the Guard Power Meter, which also makes it highly valuable as a way to quicky Guard Crush your opponent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Medium Punch Press MP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If done while standing, Rolento turns his back to his enemy and thrusts his weapon behind him at a 45-degree angle upwards. If done while crouching, Rolento holds his rod before him and spins it around quickly for three hits. This version has a very long range. If done while jumping, he does the same thing, but holds the rod beneath him before he spins it around. The jumping version can cross up, but the timing is difficult. Although the standing Medium Punch can be used as anti-air, you'd be much better off with using Rolento's superior standing Hard Kick. The main asset of this move is that when done crouching, it has an incredible range and can flat out trade hits or beat many attacks. Plus, even if blocked, it's multi-hit capability insures that you'll be pushed back enough to avoid any sort of serious retaliation. When you want to poke and pressure your opponent without getting too close, the crouching Medium Punch is the way to go. The jumping version is also great because it provides Rolento with defense from anything short of an anti-air special move. One way to really hassle your opponent is to High Jump over them and raze their heads with the MP while doing so. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hard Punch Press HP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If done while standing, Rolento quickly raises his weapon above his head and smacks it downward very quickly. The range on this move is very long, and it can hit twice. It has two hit points; one while it it starting to come down and one just before it hits the ground. If done while jumping, Rolento does a similar attack, but swings it before him so that it has a fan-like hit range that extends a bit above and below him. If done while crouching, Rolento leans forward on one knee and swings the rod horizontally forward. The bulk of Rolento's brute force comes from his Hard Punch. The standing version provides both an excellent offense and defense, since the range will swat out most incoming attacks, even jumping attacks, and it does good damage. The jumping version also has a great range and can be used to snub air attacks and do some retaliation of your own. Especially when combined with the Mekong Delta Escape, the jumping HP can be used to hamper and intimidate opponents by repeatedly swatting at them. Last but not least is the crouching variety, which is Rolento's single most damaging crouch attack. If that's not good enough, it has even more range than his crouching Medium Punch! Another good poking tool, the crouching HP really shines as a follow up to a ducking Punch or Kick; even if you miss, it's still a great way to apply pressure (this works especially well with his crouching MP, since a sloppy opponent can take or block the MP but they'll still be close enough to eat a crouching Hard Punch afterwards if they don't block again). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Light Kick Press LK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If done standing, Rolento delivers a quick knee strike. This move has a very short range and cannot be comboed--it's pretty much useless. The crouching version is a low foot strike that is fast and comboable. The jumping version is a horizontal kick that's marginally useful in close air to air situations. Rolento's Light Kick is probably the least used move in his arsenal. It can't do anything that the Light Punch or Medium Kick can do better, and with more range. However, the jumping version can be used to hit a jumping opponent who is on the same level as you are in the air, and all Light Kicks are very fast to come out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Medium Kick Press MK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The standing Medium Kick is a mule kick done at a high angle. It's useful for quickly hitting someone out of the air. The crouching version is a ducking boot kick that is long and can be comboed, plus it's not much slower than the ducking Light Kick. Jumping, this is a downward-angled leg attack that works best when your jumping toward an opponent on the ground. It can also be used for cross-ups. Although the Hard Kick provides better and more reliable air defense than the Medium Kick, Rolento's MK does come out faster and is therefore useful in close quarters or as a late counterattack. The same applies to the jumping version. The crouching variety, though, is crucial in Rolento's combos as it is comboable and has great reach (especially when used alone for poking or punishing your opponent for making a mistake). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hard Kick Press HK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Hard Kick emulates both the standing and jumping Medium Kick. It has more priority, and more lag, but if you have the time to do it, it's better than using Rolento's Medium Kick. The standing version not only has a lot of range, but it's perfect for anti-air attacks and for snuffing out your opponent's attack if you're within range. Crouching, this is a sliding kick which is not only a tad faster than the crouching Hard Punch but is also useful for tripping someone. Rolento is left open if it's blocked, though, and the range is not significantly better than the Hard Punch. Rolento's standing Hard Kick ranks right along with his standing Hard Punch. It's his best anti-air move, it frequently out-prioritizes any attack your challenger can muster, and it's got great reach. The jumping version also does hefty damage, and it's angle makes it perfect for starting a jump-in combo or for snubbing out your foe's attempts at counterattacks. The crouching version needs to be used with caution. It's useful for hitting an opponent who isn't too close to you, but it's not exactly safe. You can do better with Rolento's ducking Medium or Hard Punches. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Carnal Carry Press b / f + PP when near (air) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rolento grabs his challenger and tosses them forward. If you're not close to them, he'll perform a missed grab attempt and be left open to attack while doing so. This throw isn't very noteworthy, and should generally be skipped for the useful Deadly Package when possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deadly Package Press b / f + KK when near ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rolento ties a string of grenades around his enemy and quickly leaps past them as the grenades explode. As with the Carnal Carry, he will perform a missed grab attempt if you're not within range. Although this move seems to make you switch places with your opponent, Rolento in fact ends up on the same side of the screen when he finishes this throw. The nice thing about this throw is that because it seems like Rolento is switching directions, your opponent may have a hard time Tech Hitting it. Plus, they have to Tech. Hit before the grenades explode, so they need to act quickly or else they'll take full damage. Be crafty with this move and try throwing both forwards and backwards to confuse your enemy all the more. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Chouhatsu = Taunt) Press Start once (only in A- or V-ism) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rolento takes a mine from his holster and tosses it along the ground. The grenade then explodes a moment later. The range on this move is not very far, and if an opponent is near the grenade when it explodes, they are hit for approximately one pixel of damage. Note that it is impossible to defeat your challenger with the grenade no matter how low his/her life is (this holds true for all taunts). Although Rolento can only taunt once per round in A-ism and V-ism, he can taunt repeatedly during a V-ism Custom Combo. Taunting, for those of us who can appreciate it, is a good way to express your feelings towards your opponent and to show that you're not afraid to take risks. With Rolento's taunt, one can also try and sucker his opponent into taking an unwanted hit and throwing them off balance. True, his taunt does miniscule damage, but as it didn't hit in SFA2, it's easier to get your opponent to ignore it than you might thing. It also works well against nervous challengers; toss one out and watch them backpedal in an attempt to get away. I like following this with a Mekong Delta Attack or Escape (followed by a Hard Punch), because they will most likely be blocking the taunt and will have to take the M.D.A. hit. If I think they may not block it and instead try to jump or get away, the M.D.E. is a good way to keep them in check. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patriot Circle qcf + P (perform 3 times in all) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rolento swings his weapon, a flexible rod, around him in a circle. Repeating the motion makes him to twirl it around his body again, while doing it for a third time makes him hold the rod forward while it spins. Surprisingly, it doesn't matter what button you use, as they don't affect the speed of the move or damage it inflicts. If you care to do so, you can use different buttons for subsequent attacks. This move hits 11 times in all (4/4/3, for each time the command is input). The Patriot Circle is Rolento's sole attack-oriented move. It's not good for much else, unlike the rest of his attacks. Unfortunately, the damage it does isn't that great, and even then, each hit will give your opponent a hefty increase to their Super Combo / Custom Combo Gauge. That's only if you can get the P.C. to connect--it's slow and the only way to insure that it connects is to combo it. Even then, if you don't belt out the rest of the commands quickly, your opponent can recover and do anything to Rolento that he or she pleases. If you do this move and it doesn't hit or is blocked, you're also left open to just about anything and everything. Generally, you shouldn't use this, not even in a combo--even with no SC energy, a simple jumping HP to crouching HP still does sizable damage and gives your foe less SC / CC energy. If there is a use for the Patriot Circle, it's that it does take a hefty chunk of block damage and can be used to kill an opponent with just a bit of life left. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stinger f,d,df + K, then press any button ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rolento leaps into the air with a brace of knives in one hand. At any time during his upward or downward descent, pressing any button makes him flip in air and hurl a knife forward. This move hits one time only. The button used affects the angle at which the knife is tossed (LP/LK for a steep descent, MP/MK for a more angled descent, HP/HK for a much more horizontal descent). You can throw a knife just after jumping by doing (f,d df + K). Don't worry about the first Kick press as it will be canceled in favor of the Stinger rather than result in you sticking out a ducking kick. The Stinger provides a sharp contrast to the Patriot Circle in that it's arguably Rolento's best special move. You can use the jump to evade low attacks or projectiles, then respond with a knife attack from just about anywhere on the screen, thanks to the controllable ranges of the knives. Simply using the jump part is useful to psyche out your opponent into thinking that you're going to toss a knife. Not only is it hard to punish a well-timed Stinger, but you can use this move constantly to keep the rain of knives constant and furious. While this move doesn't do a lot of damage in and of itself, plugging your opponent with several knives will do a lot of damage in the long run. The knives are too fast to be used as "follow-up" like Dhalsim's Yoga Fire or Charlie's Sonic Boom in most situations. However, in the corner, it's possible to follow an HP Stinger with a crouching punch or kick (save LK) with a bit of practice. The one fault of the Stinger is that the knives can be stopped by _normal_ attacks. On the bright side, if your opponent mistimes their punch or kick, they'll end up taking the Stinger right in the arm or leg. On the bad side, a character with a well-ranged punch or kick can use it to foul up your Stinger tosses repeatedly. Also, unlike in SFA2, Rose can now absorb and reflect a Stinger (although they're always reflected horizontally). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mekong Delta Attack Press PPP, then press P ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rolento will flip backward when PPP is pressed. Pressing P again during the flip makes him tuck into a ball and roll forward quickly. If he hits, he rebounds backwards before landing. This move hits one time only. The button used for the roll affects how far forward Rolento will move for the roll. This move is often overlooked, and for good reason--it seems highly punishable, and is, if used to counter an attack. However, using it in anticipation of a high attack or projectile makes it a perfect weapon for medium- or long-range offense. When Rolento rolls forward, he can pass under practically any projectile. Since it's one of Rolento's few ground-based moves, it also works well in place of a jump attack or other airborne move, especially if your opponent has a good anti-air move. If you think your opponent may use a projectile, do the flip. If they haven't thrown one yet, simply go back to whatever you were doing--the flip is fast and won't leave you open unless your opponent is fairly close. But if they are in the midst of a projectile toss, press P before you land and you'll hit them squarely, usually for a Major Counter if you're fast enough. Best yet, Rolento does a pretty big rebound off the attack, even if it's blocked, so that you'll be a bit safer even if you mess up the timing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mekong Delta Air Raid qcb + P, then press P ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rolento tucks into a ball and rolls backward. Pressing P during his roll makes him leap forward with an early jumping HP attack. This move hits one time only. The strength of the button used for his roll determines how far backward he moves. The strength used for his leap attack determines how far forward he will jump. The Air Raid is a commonly-used Rolento move that is far too predictable and is generally not recommended in most situations. The first part of the move is a highly controllable and very handy backward roll; it can be used by itself for quick escapes and makes a good alternative to the Mekong Delta Escape if you don't want to flee by air. It's especially useful if your attempt at a combo is blocked; two-in-one your attack into the Air Raid to get out of there fast. The second part of this move, done during the roll, is not very useful due to the fact that Rolento performs the Hard Punch very early in his jump. This means that you'll miss someone on the ground if you're not careful. Basically, you should only attempt the Air Raid if your opponent is throwing a fireball and you're already rolling, if they're jumping towards you and you're already rolling, or if you need to escape or make some distance and they leave themselves open to a smack on the head (like if they taunt or miss a special move). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mekong Delta Escape qcb + K, then move b / f + any button ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rolento leaps back very quickly until he reaches the wall behind him, then leaps off it and jumps forward. At this point, any button can be pressed to make him perform a standard jumping attack. This move does not hit at all, otherwise, pressing P / K hits one time, except for MP which can hit up to three times. The button used for his jump has no effect on how far he moves; instead, you can control the distance of his jump by holding back or forward. This move cannot be combined with the Trick Landing move or Spike Rod attack (but I think you can use the Spike Rod from it in X-ism). The Mekong Delta Escape is a good example of the dual functionality of Rolento's moves. Most obvious is that you can use this move to get away from your opponent fast--you move so high that only a good anti-air move will be able to hit you, and since the distance you can jump is controllable, you can escape even from a corner and cross all the way to the other side of the screen. The other use is pure offense and one of Rolento's best ways to both cause damage, start combos, and generally pester the hell out of his competition. Almost like a superior Air Raid, you can use the Escape followed by a well-placed Hard Punch to hit someone out of a projectile or special move attempt from anywhere on the screen. Because you can alter the distance that Rolento travels while in air, you can use this move repeatedly even when your opponent is expecting it--just hold back to completely dodge their anti-air attempt or press forward to shoot past them. Even if they block your attack, the range of the jumping HP lets you take the block and still land with enough distance between you and your opponent so that they can't do anything serious to you. You should mix this strategy with the Stinger attempts so that you can dominate the air. If you get a hit with your jumping HP, combo into a ducking HP for a nice two- hitter or do a ducking MK into a Take No Prisoner for a damaging attack. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ High Jump Tap db~df,ub~uf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rolento will plant his weapon into the ground and use it to pole vault forward or backward in a very long but shallow jump, depending on what combination of down and up directions you use. This move does not cause damage normally, however, you can perform any standard jumping attack during it (1 hit for all buttons but MP, which hits up to three times), as well as the Spike Rod or Trick Landing. You can use the High Jump to begin a jump-in combo as well, just like the Mekong Delta Escape. Rolento's High Jump is an insanely powerful move. It's speed lets you use it to hit people out of projectiles and other attacks, or you can jump backward to safely evade just about anything short of an SC projectile. If that wasn't good enough, it can be used to start a jump-in combo. Along with the Mekong Delta Escape, this basically means that Rolento can plant a combo on his challenger's sorry behind from anywhere on screen, at any time. Because the jump is high enough to pass over any character at it's apex, you can use it to hit them, and if they block, you'll still land on the other side. From here you can stick out an attack that they'll have to quickly block or else end up taking the hit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spike Rod Jump, d + MK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ During a jump, Rolento sticks his weapon beneath him. Not only does this alter the direction and distance of your jump, but upon landing, Rolento will use the rod like a pogo stick to hop forward (this is not true in X-ism, supposedly). You can continuously tap d + MK while he hops to pogo forward continuously. This move hits once both from the air and while hopping on the ground. You can follow this move with the Trick Landing, if you wish. The Spike Rod is pretty much pointless. Although one would intially think that you could use it to abruptly halt a jump attack (say, if your opponent was going to try and hit you in air or counter with some other powerful attack), the fact that you hop forward once you land is just as risky as continuing the jump without attempting to air block. Your enemy isn't knocked down by the Spike Rod, either, so chances are that 9 out of 10, they'll recover while you're still hopping and can hit you with a swift attack. The pogo jump is good for pestering somebody if they're almost dead (but it doesn't do block damage), but this move is really too risky to be used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Trick Rod f + MK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rolento plants his weapon in the ground and climbs atop it in a parody of the Spike Rod attack. This move hits once, but the range is very bad and requires you to be reasonably close to your enemy. The Trick Rod is amazingly useless. You have to be very close to hit, the lag on the move is bad, and as long as you're getting in a hit, you should have gone for an HP or Take No Prisoners, anyway. Just to infuriate my opponent, I'll sometimes goad them on by doing this repeatedly from a safe distance. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Trick Landing As you land from a jump, press KKK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ As he lands, Rolento will bounce off the ground using his flexible rod and then land a short distance behind him. This move does not cause damage, and you cannot follow it with the Spike Rod. The Trick Landing is not really worth the trouble it is to time it correctly. If used sparingly, you can use it to evade someone who jumps towards you as you land from a jump, or to back off if you jump in at somebody who then backs off. But since you don't travel back very far and because the bounce is so slow, you'd probably be better off blocking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Take No Prisoner qcf,d,df + P (his X-ism Super Combo) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rolento crouches down and sends a tripwire running along the ground. If his opponent is touched by it, they are dragged into the air and hang suspended from a hook being held by an El Gato. Rolento lets them hang for a moment, then flicks the wire with his fingers and lets them fall. This move hits once, and must be blocked low. The higher SC level you use, the more range the tripwire has (at Level 3 or in X-ism, it has a full-screen length). This move inflicts incredibly high damage, off of one hit, to boot. This means that all you have to do is make sure it connects and then reap the rewards. The huge range and the fact that it must be blocked low are also some of it's advantages. However, it can be jumped over quite easily, and it's very quirky too, meaning that what looks like a sure hit may end up in you wasting precious SC energy for nothing in return. Even worse, because of the previously- mentioned erratic hit detection, you can only stick the Level 1 version of it in combos--anything higher and it misses entirely. However, you can still use this Super Combo as a stand-alone move with a lot of success. Like Rolento's other moves, it can be used against missed attacks, someone tossing a projectile, etc., because of it's range (which is pretty far even on Level 1 or 2). Try to force an opponent into blocking high if they are playing cautiously, then let loose. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steel Rain qcf,d,df + K ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rolento balances several knives on the end of his weapon and then flicks the rod to send them vertically into the air. They fly off screen, then fall down two seconds later over the head of his enemy. Although the knives do home in on Rolento's opponent, it is possible to avoid them by using a move such as a teleport or other ability that lets them move quickly away from their position. After Rolento throws the knives into the air, both he and his opponent can move around and attack normally (but he cannot use SCs ), until they fall. The knives must be blocked high, and hit more times at higher levels (4/6/8 (?), respectively). This new addition to Rolento's arsenal is pretty handy. Since the knives must be blocked high, you can launch them, then walk forward and use the Take No Prisoners within range. If they block low or jump, they eat the knives, if they do nothing, they get garotted by the tripwire. Because there is lag on this move, it's suggested that you do it when far away or in a situation where you can't be hit back. Since your opponent is forced to deal with the threat of the knives that will be falling in about two seconds, you can use that time to beat a hasty retreat, get close and poke at them, or even use the Patriot Circle to inflict block damage. You can't combo off the knives if they hit, but that's a minor complaint considering the damage this move can cause. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mine Sweeper qcb,qcb + P ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rolento gets down and rolls backward quickly while lobbing out grenades. He then gets into a crouch and fiddles with his weapon while the grenades go off, one after another. If an opponent blocks this attack, they may still be pushed toward Rolento by the exploding grenades. Even if Rolento is hit out of this move, any grenades he managed to toss beforehand can still hit his enemy. The higher SC level you use, the further backward Rolento rolls and the more grenades he tosses. This move hits more times at each level (2/3/4). Rolento's Mine Sweeper is a purely defensive move. Like the Steel Rain, it can't be comboed. And chances are that if you pull one off out of the blue in an attempt to be sneaky, you'll only succeed in wasting your power and having your enemy block and end up right next to you, where they can start pressuring you. So, you need to think defensively. The Mine Sweeper is great at catching a jumping attack--even if they hit you, you'll end up trading hits because any grenades you tossed can still go off and hit them. And at higher levels, it's far more likely that they'll end up being thrown across the screen by repeating blasts of exploding shrapnel rather than kicking you out of your SC attempt. The only time when a jump-in attack will almost always work is if they hit you with a cross-up. The other time when you can put the Mine Sweeper to good use is if you end up close to your opponent after a jump or similar aerial manuever and want to prevent them from hitting you. You can do the motion for the Mine Sweeper as you land and then press Punch to do it the moment you touch ground, or simply block or use a crouching kick to either defend or poke them before they can hit or throw you. Since your enemy will in all likelihood end up right next to you once the move finishes, you can try poking with a low LP or MP as they get up, use a Take No Prisoner, or anticipate their recovery attack, block it, and attack them in return. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alpha Counter While blocking, f + same P + K at once ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This move requires Rolento to have at least 1.5 (half) of his Super Combo Gauge full (in A-ism), or a third of his Custom Combo Gauge full (in V-ism), to be used. When performed, Rolento performs the third and final part of his Patriot Circle for a three-hit attack. The buttons used don't affect this move in any way. Note that when you use an AC, your Guard Power Meter will permanently decrease by one notch for the rest of that battle. It's bad enough that Alpha Counters cause so little damage, but now in Alpha 3 they also have the added drawback of reducing your Guard Power Meter. This means that you should only AC as a last-ditch escape against a trap or good pressure game, or if your opponent is practically dead and you need to beat them quickly before they finish you off. Luckily, Rolento's AC has good range and is pretty likely to hit when performed, unlike some other character's ACs.
