----------------------------------------------------------------------
LEGEND:
The basics for this game have remained unchanged since the start of the
vs. series, only you now have 4 basic buttons and 2 assist buttons. You
can select the character's assist at the select screen.
To get a strong, you have to press jab, then jab to get a strong. For a
forward, press short, then short. This only works in combos, however..
And you can cross these up as well, like jab to forward, or short to
strong. The assist buttons call out your other two characters for an
assisted attack.
This is the layout:
Joystick------ Jab Fierce Assist 1
Short R.house Assist 2
And the key to the moves and combos:
Superjump; SJ; SJump - quickly press down, then up
U- Up
UF- Up-Forward
F- Forward
DF- Down-Forward
D- Down
DB- Down-Back
B- Back
UB- Up-Back
D, DF, F - lists like these tell you to roll from down to forward in one
motion, then apply the button presses.
DASH - F, F or B, B or 2 punches simultaneously. Character moves faster
than normal speed. Use it to advance or retreat.
BLOCK - Press joystick/pad away from opponent while they attack. Can
also be done in midair.
ADVANCING GUARD - While blocking, press 2 punches simultaneously, to
push back an attacking opponent.
ROLL - B, DB, D + Any punch or kick. - When knocked down, use this to
prevent follow up attacks.
SAFE FALL/BREAK AWAY - Press joystick/pad in any direction except up +
Fierce or R.house - You can fall or get away safely from a hold, throw,
or being knocked out of the air.
VARIABLE COUNTER - D, DB, D + Assist button - While blocking, do this,
and one of your partners will come out, counter-attacking, and switch
characters. This uses one level of super meter.
VARIABLE ATTACK - Press jab and short or fierce and r.house to switch
characters. Characters that have damage will recover the red portion of
their life while resting.
XX- cancel (XX into is cancel into)
OTG- on the ground. Means that you can continue the combo/move/super
while the opponent is on the ground.
ASSIST- One of two buttons that will call in your other partners for a
special quick attack.
SNAPBACK- D, DF, F + Assist button. Tired of your main opponent? Then
force him out by doing a snapback. Assist 1 will bring in the 2nd
character, while assist 2 will bring in the 3rd.
DELAYED HYPER COMBOS- This is also the first game where you can cancel
supers into other supers. For instance, you use Venom Web, then cancel
before Venom's finished into Tron's Lunch Rush. Both supers will
connect, and Venom will switch out to Tron. You can also use 3
supers/characters for this. Experiment with different teams to find a
Delayed Hyper Combo that suits your characters.
DOUBLE/TRIPLE TEAM- Press both Assist buttons to activate all your
characters supers. The super the character uses depends on which assist
you picked. This move uses 2 or 3 bars of the super meter, depending on
how many characters you still have, or how much super bar has been
charged.
The rest is pretty self-explanatory, and if you really don't know how to
play one of these games by now, then this probably isn't the place to
start with.... :P

----------------------------------------------------------------------
HISTORY:
-Roll is from the Megaman series from Capcom. She is the little sister
of Megaman (known as Rockman in Japan), and was originally built to be a
housekeeping robot, by her creator Dr. Light. Fed up with Megaman going
out to fight the badguys and being left behind to be the housekeeper,
Roll charges headlong into battle using an old Rock buster attachment,
an exploding bouquet, and Megaman's long-time helpers Flip-Top (aka
Eddie), Beat, and Rush. She's here to kick ass and take names!! :)
TAUNT:
- For the DC, hold short kick, and press start. Roll poses, tugs on her
hair ribbon, and says something in Japanese. She used to say "Makenai
wa!" / "I won't lose!" , but it sounds like something different this
time. I'll check my sources and get back to this.
- For the arcade, just press start... Duh.
FUN STUFF:
Opening Animation 1: Roll rides in on the back of Rush, jumps off, and
Rush continues running off-screen. (Parodies Strider)
Open Animation 2: Flies in on Beat, and drops down to the ground.
(Parodies Strider)
Open Animation 3: Stands, and kicks Flip-Top. She pulls her ribbon,
saying something, as Flip-Top exits off-screen.
Win 1: Roll's clothes flash for an instant, and then reform into a cute
little school dress, complete with backpack. She poses. ^_^
Win 2: Megaman trots in, and makes a face at Roll, who cries.
Win 3: Megaman drops down in the Beat Plane, making Roll's skirt flip up
a bit. She holds it down as Megaman smiles. (PERVERT!!!)
Win 4: Roll poses, crossing one of her arms over the other at the elbow,
and says something. (I think the speech was removed from this win pose
for MvC2)
Win 5: Rush appears, and sits next to Roll, as she adapts the pose in
Win 4. A hologram with Dr.Light emits from Rush, and she replies to the
hologram. "Yatta ne!"/"I did it!"
Timeover Loss: Roll collapses to the ground, bawling her eyes out. :(
Loss: Roll shrieks, falling to the ground, then evaporates, ala the
classic 'death' of all the Megaman games.
OTHER:
Jump: Roll holds down her dress, and says "Ecchi!"/"Pervert!"
Crouch: Roll has her hands on her knees, playfully looking at the
opponent.
Forward Walk: Roll walks forward, holding her hands near her face,
looking curious.
Backwards WalK: Roll holds her hands near her body, walking backwards.
She appears intimidated.
TRANSLATIONS:
Taunt: /
Assist: "Tasukete!"/"Help me!"
Victory 1: "Yatta ne!"/"I did it!"
Misc speech: "Yamete!"/"Stop it!" (in a cut-it-out way)
"Konaide!"/"Stay away!" (or "Don't come near!!")
Hyper Roll: "Makenai wa!"/"I won't lose!"
ROLL'S COLORS:
-NOTE: Whatever color you pick, when Megaman appears in Roll's win
animations, his colors will be the corresponding color. (ie R.house
Roll/R.house Megaman)
(Jab) Red dress, gray sleeves, with white trim. Blonde hair, green hair
ribbon (basic color)

- Most of Roll's attacks indicate that she's a passive character, but
that doesn't mean she won't take it easy on you. ;)

priority.
*See OTHER MOVES section for more uses of Roll's basic attacks.*
ROLL'S ASSISTS:
Alpha/Projectile Type: Roll Buster. Fireball move. Pretty quick, but
hits low, and travels slowly. The best assist, IMO.
Beta/Variety Type: Flower Bouquet. Roll launches an exploding flower
bouquet. Hits high, but travels slowly. Has to be in close range. REALLY
horrible assist, because it's slow, and people can see it coming from a
mile away.. Of course, this also could be useful for using confusion
tactics.
Gamma/Balance Type: Same as Beta. You're better off choosing the Alpha
assist..
ROLL'S TEAM SUPERS:
-Roll's team supers are all the same no matter what assist you pick..-
A: Hyper Roll - The best way to use this is for Roll to lead off the
team super, because of the initial start up hit. Otherwise, it does less
than average damage. Does pitiful block damage if blocked. Make sure to
get the enemy into her electricity beam, for maximum damage.
B: Hyper Roll - See A.
G: Hyper Roll - Again, see A.
ROLL'S MOVES:
Roll Buster: D, DF, F + P (punch pressed determines range) Roll grabs
her old Rock buster, puts it on her arm, and shoots a fireball about her
size towards the enemy. Can be done in midair. Jab is a slower fireball,
while Fierce is a faster fireball. Both of them hit only once, and can
be used in a combo. Her recovery time is slow, but not painfully slow.
Can be used in OTG combos.
Flower Bouquet: F, D, DF + P (punch pressed determines height and angle)
Roll produces a bouquet of flowers which explode on contact; if they
don't connect, they explode eventually. Jab is a higher angle, but the
area of contact is short range. Fierce is a lower angle, but the area of
contact is long range. Really slow, and hard to connect. That and it's
very, very hard to produce.. 95% percent of the time you try to do this,
you always get Roll Buster..
- Kao Megura suggests doing the move motion as D, DF, F twice, then
pressing the punch button. This makes pulling this move off easier.
Item Change: Flip-Top appears, and gives Roll one of three weapons,
which can be interchanged with different commands.
-To use these items: D, DB, B + P. For Leaf shield, you have to do the
motion twice.
IC Rockball: D, DF, F + K. This is the standard item Roll starts out
with. Roll drops a soccerball out. To use it, you have to kick it. The
angle of the kick determines the angle of the ball's movement. This hits
2-4 times depending on the placement and size of the enemy. It flies off
screen after bouncing around a few times. Useful as a surprise from
behind, but not too much else. Can be used for OTG combos.
IC Leaf Shield: D, DB, B + K. Roll forms a leaf shield around her. To
fire it, use D, DB, B+P. This can be used in midair, but this is the
slowest of the items. A fireball, beam, multi-hit or super move will
disintegrate the shield. Can be used for OTG combos.
IC Tornado Hold: F, D, DF + K. Roll uses a small gust of wind to pop the
opponent up. Not as dangerous as before. Jab will get a closer tornado,
while fierce yields a tornado with a farther reach. Very useful, and can
be used for OTG combos. It's very difficult for me to pull off for some
reason, but maybe that's just my controller. Still one her best keepaway
moves, plus it sets up a good wall for you while you retreat.
- Kao Megura suggests doing the move motion as D, DF, F twice, then
pressing the kick button. This makes pulling this move off easier.
OTHER MOVES:
Throw: F + Fierce Punch - Roll does a body throw, with your opponent.
This can be done in mid-air, and can be used in a combo. She has one of
the best throw priorities in the game.
Jumping R.house: This move will stun your opponent for about one real-
time second. Use this to help out Roll's combo game. This move does
NOTHING to those with super-armor unless you use a hit before it. (EG:
Juggernaut/Hulk/Sentinel/Powered up Silver Samurai/Armor Colossus)
Up + jumping R.house: A different kick, that uses a sweeping kick over
your enemies' heads. Very useful as a jump-in, but so is the regular
r.house.
D+r.house (on the ground): Slide: Use this to finish combos, set up
combos, or for keepaway tactics, followed by a Roll Buster.
Crouching strong: Used after a standing jab, this move will pop your
enemy up momentarily, allowing for a combo to be used.
Double Jump: Jump up once, and while in the air, jump again. Roll can
stay in place for this, or use it to change direction in midair. Great
for screwing up the opponent's timing.
Launchers: Standing r.house or DF + R.house
Snapback: Standing r.house animation.
ROLL'S SUPERS:
Hyper Roll: D, DF, F + 2P
Roll shouts "Makenai wa?", flashes white and grows 3 times her original
size. A huge bolt of electricity screams out from two electrodes on her
head, while she fires off a large number of various missles (mini-rush,
beats, and breast missiles...). This move does slight to no chip damage,
and she can be knocked out of it very easily. If you connect with the
initial blast, you'll most likely connect all the other hits. The range
for the initial hit has increased for MvC2, and is basically 2 and 1
half Rolls wide. The electricity is the most damaging part, so make sure
it connects. This is comboable on the ground, and in midair, but does
less hits.. Best used as a wake-up.
Rush Drill: D, DF, F + 2K
Roll calls out for Rush, and he converts to a drill vehicle. Roll then
rides around in this vehicle, which drills the opponent for multiple
hits. Mash on the buttons and use the joystick to increase the damage.
This move is slow to start out, but is completely invincible when
activated. A timer will appear above the super combo gauge, telling you
how long the super will be active. The recovery time for this move is
horrible, so only use it in appropriate situations. You can use the
joystick to make Rush jump up a little bit, but it's better if you
remain on the ground. You can do a combo after this move finishes in the
corner if the enemy is launched high enough for you to OTG after their
fall.
Beat Plane: D, DB, B + 2P
Roll calls out for Beat, who then converts into a weird hybrid
bird/plane. Roll rides in this plane, which fires out fireballs and
drops miniature bombs. You can use the joystick to control the movement
of the plane, and mash on the buttons for all the hits. This isn't an
auto combo, so you must keep pressing buttons. This move can no longer
be done in midair, which reduces it's effectiveness. Roll can also be
knocked out of this move at anytime, so be sure that you activate it far
away; after your enemy recovers from a slow move; and when your enemy
hasn't got a super prepared to knock you out of it. I only use this move
for chip damage..otherwise it is almost useless..
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
STRATEGY: Roll is an incredibly hard character to use effectively. You
are limited by her short reach, her weak supers, and very little
priority. However, she does have advantages! Her Roll Buster has a
reduction in recovery time, as well as her flower bouquet. Beat Plane is
still a fairly okay way to do some slight chip damage, but Roll has lost
the ability to do it in midair, and the start up time is slower. Rush
Drill still hurts, and is still invincible after the start up frames,
but is horribly slow to pull out. The Hyper Roll is not as useless as
before, allowing for better use in combos and an increased hit range for
the initial hit.
Her added double jump helps to create confusion, and it allows Roll a
safer retreat. Don't overuse her Roll Buster, or you will be punished.
Roll works better staying on the ground, rather than in the air, but if
you are forced to jump, use her jab or r.house to keep attackers away.
Other strategies for Roll include her throw. A lot of people hate
repetitive throwing, but for Roll, it's a survival tactic. She still has
one of the best throwing priorities in the game, but there are some
characters who can beat her. Roll is also very weak, but not quite as
weak as in the last game. She is a little more powerful, and her jumping
roundhouse will help you tremendously. Utilize her by using a mix of
keepaway, throw tactics, and taking advantage of missed opportunities.
Roll's best used as a confusion character. Always keep them guessing and
use her small size to your advantage!! :)
If you play Roll, and win with her, you'll probably get a ton of
respect! :) Keep in mind that Roll has very little stamina and power, so
use a good mix of keepaway and combos. Her supers are usually only
useful if the enemy misses an attack and leaves them wide open. When you
use Roll, it's probably a good idea to back off and study your enemy's
techniques, then go in for the attack. Also, try to pair her up with
characters that have great assists, and with partners that complement
her playing style. Most importantly, have fun with her! Roll isn't meant
to be a serious tournament character, but don't let that stand in the
way of playing, IMO, one of the most fun characters ever selectable in a
fighter!
PARTNERS FOR ROLL:
-Venom: My old Roll partner from MvC1, works just as well, if not better
with her in this game. Roll can count on solid protection from his Venom
Fang assist. He also provides brute force, and insane power, plus his
supers (Venom Web, and occasionally Death Bite), work well with hers. He
also helps her with his keepaway game, since Roll barely has one
herself. An all around great partner, IMO.
-Sabretooth: Just about the same as Venom. His Alpha assist (Berserker
Claw), helps pop the enemies up into useful range, while his Beta assist
(Birdie Call), helps protect Roll from overhead attacks while she
advances. Sabretooth is fairly quick for a big guy, and has nasty
specials and supers to back up his speed and power. He also helps to
link Roll's supers with his, especially his punch supers..both are great
for activating the Hyper Roll. Another solid choice.
-Jin: Always underated, Jin helps out tremendously with Roll. Both his
Beta (Dynamite) and Alpha (Cyclone) are great protection and anti-air.
He has great reach and power, and is generally a incredibly reliable
fighter. The double team/triple team supers with him and Roll together
are lacking, however, since the success depends on which assist you pick
for Jin. Also, unless you use Beat Plane or Rush Drill, you cannot DHC
Jin's most powerful super, the Saotome Cyclone. Nonetheless, you can
link the other two supers. Again, a very good choice as a teammate.
-Jill: I really don't play Jill too often, but she has a remarkable
keep-away game, where Roll doesn't. Her assists are great, especially
her Shoulder Rush and the Herb of Healing, in case Roll's in a pinch.
One great aspect is that both Hyper Roll and Hyper Shoulder Rush (I
forget the actual name), if activated as a double team, will GUARANTEE
all hits from both supers, if activated at the right time.. A fair
choice of partners..
-More partners as I experiment more! ^_^

29. Jump in jab, r.house, dash jab, snapback.
30. Stand short, snapback.
31. Crouch jab, c. short, snapback. (Won't work on certain characters)
- NOTE - On the air Hyper Roll combos: The best way for these to connect
is to activate it when the enemy is above Roll's waist. You should be
able to get all the hits when it connects.
-ROLL'S SEMI-INFINITE: Yes, she has an infinite... sort of. I've only
tested this on the training mode though.. everyone else keeps rolling
out of it. ;P
-Get opponent into corner - Jump in jab, ji strong, stand jab, stand
r.house, sjump, jab, short, strong, forward, air throw, - land before
they do, stand fierce, stand r.house, sjump, and repeat.
-This works on most size characters, but won't on some heavier
characters that land before you do. Of course, this won't work if they
roll or tech hit the throw. Not really a TRUE infinite, but if your
opponent is incompetent, take advantage of his ignorance.. ^_^
ROLL vs. ABYSS:
1st part- This part will give you trouble, because of Roll's defense and
power problems. Block accordingly, and use small combos. Sjump when he
charges or uses his beam super. Try a Rush Drill occasionally, but be
careful of retaliation. Avoid staying in one place for too long. Try a
Beat Plane from behind him when he uses his beam super. Fierces will
help you build your super meter for that purpose, and for the next part.
2nd part- The easy part for Roll. :) Stay low and use jab,strong combos.
Or you can fire off fierce Roll Busters. Roll can duck the laser, but
will take damage if you block. DO NOT JUMP AT HIM UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCE! Try to use Beat Plane or Rush Drill for some extra hits.
Use Roll's jab to pop the bubbles. Be very careful of his large laser
and of his spinning beam super. This part will take off a lot of damage
if any of it's attacks connect..
3rd part- Difficult, but not impossible. Use small jumping combos at
your discretion. You can try to use Hyper Roll, but only if you get
behind Abyss. Beat Plane will work, but remember that you can be easily
knocked out of it. Overall, be very cautious, and wait for openings.
Once again, use fierces to build up your super meter, and try to get
behind him every time he reforms.
---What's next??-----
If you think I'm writing a FAQ against all 56 characters, think again..
:) Actually, since Roll is a hard character to master, I just might..
Next version: More partners for Roll/a possible vs. characters
list/anything else I've forgotten..
