Rose arrives in Street Fighter V: Champion Edition
The great thing about Street Fighter V: Champion Edition is Capcom’s efforts to continue making it relevant with new content. Today, Street Fighter Alpha 2 star Rose was announced as the latest addition to the roster.
She’s is part of the fifth/final season of Street Fighter V, but with so many popular characters left it wouldn’t be that shocking for another version of Street Fighter V to arrive next year.
In Street Fighter V: Champion Edition, the soul-powered maven has been updated with a few new tricks up her sleeve.
With her latest iteration, she comes equipped with powerful moves that longtime Street Fighter fans are sure to recognize. Her “Soul Satellite” makes its return from Street Fighter IV as a V-Skill, allowing Rose to summon orbs and put pressure on her opponents.
Her “Soul Illusion” from the Street Fighter Alpha series comes back as a V-Trigger which creates a mirrored Rose that performs the same attack shortly after she does, inflicting heavy damage.
Check her out in action:
Rose also wields a brand new set of moves such as her “Soul Fortune” V-Skill, allowing her to draw one of four tarot cards to buff herself or debuff her opponents.
This new skill unlocks a new dimension of gameplay for Rose players, who can now decide when to play offensively or defend themselves depending on the tide of battle. “Soul Dimension” is Rose’s new V-Trigger move which she can use to teleport to one of three spots on the screen to offer expanded combo options.

As usual, there’s multiple options to get Rose. You can get her through the Season 5 Character Pass, the Season 5 Premium Pass or purchasing her separately at $5.99.
Finally you can just earn her by playing through the game and acquiring 100,000 Fight Money. Rose has her own unique stage, Marina of Fortune, that’s based off her Street Fighter 2 Alpha stage. You can get that for $3.99 or 70,000 Fight Money
In addition to spotlighting Rose, the “Street Fighter V Spring Update” also revealed new information and gameplay footage of Oro and Akira, two upcoming characters scheduled to release in Summer 2021. More information about these characters and the fifth unannounced Season 5 character will be shared at a later date.
What do you think of the reveal of Rose and will you be using her in Street Fighter V: Champion Edition?
