Social Mother of the Cosmos: Rosalina [General/Social] Thread (Closed)

[ChikoLad]

IIRC, the Aura Sphere didn't have an after explosion effect in terms of damage. It only hurt if it physically hit your character. So there is no reason to believe Rosalina would have a problem against it. Then again, I'm not sure if Gravitational Pull redirects ALL projectiles. So we'll have to see.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

If the Star Barrier can redirect water, it should be able to redirect energy-based projectiles. If anything, the only projectiles that the Star Barrier probably can't defend against are the Final Smash type of projectiles, such as the Mario Finale.

 

[Saki-]

Yeah I'm aware it redirects, but I was wondering if it would redirect the Large Slow Aura sphere fast enough. It appears it doesn't quicken or slow the pace of projectile but keeps them at the same pace while redirecting.

->->->O->->->
I'm afraid with the size of the aura sphere and slowness of a fully charged one that the animation may stop around the 3'oclock. With the animation stopping, our protective shield is gone and we have a giant sphere still within our hit box. It's been a while since I've played Brawl and not sure if Smash4 will have a slower full aura sphere, so I could be just imagining things super wrong.

I have become very intrigued by Rosaluma.

Someone tell me the lowdown on Rosalina & Luma.

Rosalina simply utilizes the Luma like a puppet character, enabling her to add some diversity to her attack options. Unlike Olimar, however, Rosalina is able to hold her own without the Luma if it ever gets knocked out.

Browsing the Rosalina tag on tumblr just became an awful lot sexier since I found this:

Hey, Rosalina fans! I'm working on a project that you might have heard of called Project: Thank You Sakurai! (If you haven't heard of it, you should check it out.) and I'm currently doing a poll to determine which characters should be on the virtual card that we're making for him. I would appreciate it if you guys would check it out here and vote for who you like. The characters from the Mario universe that are on the poll include any that were in Brawl previously or which are newcomers to Smash 4 (Rosalina is okay, Dr. Mario is not). The locks for the (extended) Mario universe so far are Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi. Peach, Bowser, Diddy Kong, Wario, and Rosalina all need some more support before they can break into the area of "locks" (Rosalina herself is really close, but not quite there). I would be really, really grateful if you'd take a little time out of your day to do this short poll.

 

[ChikoLad]

I did the survey just now, but a page asking me to create an account popped up. However, it said "this advertisement is optional". Have my answers been accounted for?

Yes. It's just there to keep the service free for my own use.

Why is Sheik not in the Smash options?

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

For those who are interested, this week's week in review has an article on Rosalina that you can read; I composed the article myself. Of course, it's just the first half of the article, as the second half will be for next week.

 

[ChikoLad]

I just read the whole thing. Very interesting analysis, but in the story section, I noticed one mistake. You said that Bowser "invaded" the Observatory and stole the Power Stars, but that didn't actually happen.

Rosalina's actual description of the situation in-game was:

"A strange force had latched onto our ship, pulling away Star Bits and our power source, Power Stars. Our ship had lost power, so it entered a deep hibernation state where it could not move. Those who took your special one picked up the Power Stars..."

So while Bowser did pick up the stars, he didn't physically invade the Observatory to retrieve them (which is also evidenced by the fact that the Observatory shows no signs of being damaged by Bowser's fleet or anything of the sort). This wouldn't make a lot of sense, as the Observatory moves way too fast to just be invaded a la Peach's Castle. He used some kind of metaphorical "star magnet" to drag away stars from the Observatory as it passed by the Mushroom Kingdom, and that sucked away it's power source, leaving it at a standstill. Which would explain why Rosalina mentions Star Bits being taken, yet Bowser only ever set out to retrieve the Power Stars and never mentions the Star Bits (the Star Bits would be useless to him, they were probably just discarded or ignored. Or he used them to create minions, hence you can retrieve Star Bits by killing enemies with a spin).

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

@ ChikoLad : I've fixed up the mistake, and I even quoted you as well.

 

[ChikoLad]

Oh, well there was no need to quote me, but thanks regardless! Again, a very impressive article, and I'm looking forward to Part 2!

 

[Pacack]

I also quite enjoyed the article. Will you be doing more besides Rosalina?

I don't really know right now, since Rosalina is the only confirmed newcomer that I really wanted to do an article for; I'll let someone else cover the Wii Fit Trainer and Little Mac.

Depending on what the next set of newcomers are though, that could change.

What kind of character would interest you? One that you have personal memories with, one that's just really interesting, or what?

Hard to say, but this subject should be brought up at a different location now.

Okay, this is a cool thread, but some of the moveset(listed on page 1) is wrong, I think. Here's what I know / speculate:

Neutral B will probably be star bit blast, but it could also be side b.

Up b , I believe, is the recovery that shoots her into the air via the shooting star.

Up tilt "creates Saturnian rings" according to sakurai, and shoots the luma powerfully high.

Side tilt, I assume because sakurai referred to it as a strong side attack, is the luma powerfully shooting to the side.

Finally, sakurai confirmed down b is gravitational pull. It sucks in items from around rosalina. I assume that this will help the diddy matchup.

That's all I know.

 

[MasterofMonster]

Rosalina

Special: Creates a Luma.
Side Special: Luma Shot
Down Special: Gravitational Pull
Up Special: Launch Star

Jab: jabs/swats with her wand
Up Tilt: Saturn Rings

Forward OR Up Air: That 'universe is under her clothes move'.
Down Air: Saturn Rings

Forward Smash: Leans forward and sends a 'blast', looks a Little like Zelda's.
Down Smash: also similar to Zelda's.

That's all we know so far, me things. That Star Bits attack is most likely a normal attack for the Luma.

Sounds good. I think the forward air you mentioned could be a back air.

 

[MasterofMonster]

Looks like her Forward Aerial to me, but it's kinda hard to say. :/ It would look like she actually turns around mid-air right Before using her attack, but if you look closely in other footage, she does a Little spin in her first jump, making it almost look like her Back Air here. ^^

So I'd say it has to be her forward, OR her Up.

Oh my bad, I didn't see the footage, I just saw a screenshot so I couldn't really tell. Looks like you're right. Sorry. Either way, I'm pretty hyped to try this character, even if I'm maining Chrom(assuming he makes it). Thanks for the gif.

No reason to apologize. ^^ But yeah, Rosalina is one of my 4 most wanted, so I will totally main her. And make her lie down on the ground in different poses a lot.

Hey, if it's ok for Sakurai to do so, it's ok for me! ;p

Lol. A lot of people were commenting on how "suggestive it was", haha

And it certanly was, haha. That's the third time he puts a female character in a knocked-down suggestive pic. Silly Sakurai.

Haha. It was kinda funny, but I was hoping for a more informative daily pic. Like movesets and stuff.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I didn't really see anything suggestive about Rosalina lying down. It's not like a Purple Pikmin was on her, begging for a piggy-back ride (which was the case with Zelda).

 

[ChikoLad]

I was hoping for a Year of Luigi send-off...but I got a Rosalina themed turn on, which I'm OK with! :V

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Rosalina hasn't been on a screenshot since February 6, so at least she's trying to regain some attention today.

Well it's not really suggestive, but you gotta admit, Sakurai totally did this to show her off, just like with Wii-Fit Trainer's bottom. ^^

 

[Jackson]

Agreed. I don't even know why people are making a big deal outta it.

 

[ChikoLad]

I'll make it simple - it wouldn't be questionable if it was a full body screenshot!

Are you referring to the emphasis on her chest? Haha

 

[ChikoLad]

No, her face, combined with her whole lower body being cut off by the camera, leave a lot to the imagination...

EDIT: I've cut Rosalina out of the picture. Feel free to use it for whatever you want!

 

[Stenton]

I thought of something. What if there are Multiple Rosalinas on one match? I meaning with the different colored Lumas that Rosalina can spawn, wouldn't detecting which Luma is yours be confusing?

Call back your Luma. Problem solved.

 

[ChikoLad]

It'd be cool if Rosalina's alt colours also gave Lumas an adornment.

Totally. It would also be helpful to identify them.
