Rosalina is tall and can be killed very early, it's the same combination that helped throw Mewtwo down the bottom of the barrel in Melee, and on top of that she's too reliant on her Luma to be able to dominate throughout the entire match and her recovery is pretty **** as she goes into a helpless state. I've also noticed the Luma's AI can also be pretty damn stupid. Yes, her own attacks are decent, but for the most part they're also pretty sluggish, only a few select of her moves are actually good, the Luma does pack the better moveset out of the two.
Rosalina is good, but her flaws are far too many and too big to call her broken, once people get to know the matchup she's going to have a much harder time. Snake in Brawl is a good comparison, the top 5 of most early Brawl tournaments were only Snakes, but from there on out he only fell down due to people becoming much more aware of his mines and figuring out just how easy it was to gimp him, and even then I think Snake had many more strengths than Rosalina has in this game as he had godly setups and for some reason weighted a ton. Like I said, she is good, but people are over-exaggerating her strengths and downplaying her weaknesses.
Mind you I don't play Rosalina and I don't want to, I don't like the character at all, so this is not me trying to make her seem less good because I don't want to play an overpowered character (again), this is simply me stating my observations fighting against her.
