jettFTW (Yun) vs. crimsonsouLL (Evil Ryu) in Ultra Street Fighter IV
I normally don’t go out of my way to try out top-tier characters, though of late, I’ve been experimenting with Yun. Even though some people think he’s the best, I’m admittedly struggling to make sense of the character. My experience with Yun in comparison to my time with Evil Ryu, Decapre and Poison has been noticeably rougher. Still, this one is one of my “better” first efforts with the character.
Bonus video below of my Rose against a Guile player. I didn’t think the match was all that remarkable except for him taunting me in the third round. Take a guess at how well that worked out for him 😉
Return of the Raging Demon
Years ago, I publicly dumped Akuma. Despite having invested hundreds of hours into the character, I felt like our relationship had run its course. I hit a ceiling with that character that was lower than where I wanted to go, so I thought it would be best to move on. As I’ve said multiple times on this blog in the following years, dropping Akuma for Rose was the best thing I ever did in a fighting game. Since dropping Akuma, I’ve leveled up to the point where my Rose is currently ranked 3rd in the world on PSN, which is a milestone that I wouldn’t have foreseen in my wildest dreams.
Was the dramatic turnaround all due to the character change? Part of it certainly is. However, having gone back to watch some old video and having played with Akuma recently, it’s becoming more apparent that much of my success now comes from personal growth.

Ultra Street Fighter IV Rose Combo Video
In live matches, I tend to play a very conservative Rose. I generally go for simple combos, as I’m confident in my ability to land them consistently. However, I use this opportunity to show off a few more fancy things in my bag of tricks. I’m considering making more combo videos with different characters as a means of not only creating more content for the site, but also as a means of better learning the game as a whole. Let me know if you enjoyed the video and if you’re interested in more!
EMERY-BOARD (Rose) vs jettFTW (Rolento) in Ultra Street Fighter IV
My Rolento squaring off against a highly-ranked Rose. I think he’s a good player, but I suspect that match-up experience played a key role in its outcome.
KDA_SAKO- (Evil Ryu) vs. jettFTW (Rolento/Rose) in Ultra Street Fighter IV
Highly doubt that this is the real Sako, but at times he certainly dishes it out like his namesake. Here’s a few of our matches that went down a while back.
jettFTW (Rose/Rolento) vs. Sacojericho (El Fuerte) in Ultra Street Fighter IV
A series of matches against a quality El Fuerte player from my area. I recognized his name from the times I was at T12 and Toryuken, so it was great to get some matches in against him!
Guile (MAXSDAN) vs. Rolento (jettFTW) in Ultra Street Fighter IV
Squaring off against the #3 ranked Guile in the world on PSN.
Ryu (|H|akai) vs. Rolento (jettFTW) in Ultra Street Fighter IV
Don’t judge a player by their Battle Points. |H|akai doesn’t have many, but this Ryu player clearly knew what they were doing. He convincingly zoned out my Rolento and took this match to the absolute limit.
