Sheik and ZSS were never bad match-ups for Rosalina, even ZeRo thought Rosalina had an advantage against Sheik. And certainly not after their nerfs.I guess because he doesn't have trouble against her due to bad matchups against Sheik, ZSS, Cloud and some minor Counterpick characters like Corrin, Diddy and maybe Meta Knignt.
It is but he's so blind to placements all around the world that it doesn't help.
Ryu isn't good as he makes him out to be. Especially when the characters below him on that list have stronger matchups
Cloud is even or slightly in Rosalina's favour. All you need to beat him is solid play, and getting him off stage. There is also an anti-Cloud tech that ESAM discovered (or at least he put up a video about it) that some characters can use. Rosalina is one of them, but since that video, it's been discovered that Rosalina can use this technique more effectively than any other character, despite initially believing the opposite to be true.
Corrin and Diddy aren't minor counterpicks to her at all. Like I don't even know where this idea would come from. Corrin has the same problem as Ryu against her in that he's actually slower than Rosalina, making it difficult to create his own approaches. Luma also throws off some of his tricks, like his neutral B, plus she can just Down B that. Corrin also has extremely poor landing options, which is the worst thing against Rosalina because of her U-air. His counter also isn't super cheesy anymore so she doesn't really need to worry about that.
Diddy flat out has been bad against Rosalina since he got nerfed. He only was good against her pre-patch because of Hoo-Hah and because he had some non-sensical hitboxes. Now though, he struggles against her like a lot of small, melee fighters. He also doesn't get his bananas in this MU, because Rosalina can press Down B as soon as it spawns, which shifts it's ownership to her, and this causes Diddy to slip over his own banana immediately after pulling it out, leaving him wide open for Rosalina to do whatever.
Meta Knight was a good counter pick option against her before he got nerfed (though I would argue that was because of Rosalina's players and not Rosalina herself), but now he's nerfed too and lost a lot of the combos he used to have against her.
