Street Fighter 5 Season 5 Rose review: The right character for the right time Posted by Jonathan 'Catalyst' Grey • 2 hours, 19 minutes ago • Comments: 1 Rose has seen a pretty nice reaction from the fighting game community since she was released for Street Fighter 5 on April 19, 2021. She is a strong mid-range zoner, and certainly one of the best defensive type characters available in this game. The unfortunate news is that mid-range zoning has not been seen as a superior strategy at the highest levels of play, with rushdown or grappler characters typically dominating in this game. Rose helps make up for this by having a surprisingly strong anti-air and fireball game.
