Fate Aura Spark

"It's the end for you. It's your destiny; Soul Power's nature. Fate Aura Spark! And now, you've met your destiny./You must purify your soul. (, It's the end for you. It's your destiny; Soul Power's nature. Fate Aura Spark! And now, you've met your destiny./You must purify your soul.^?)"

—Rose

Fate Aura Spark (フェイトオーラスパーク, Feito Ōra Supāku^?) is Rose's Critical Art in Street Fighter V.

Input

Street Fighter V	+

Description

Executed by performing two quarter-circle forward motions and pressing kick, Rose infuses her scarf with Soul Power, then uses it like a whip to strike her opponent three times. If she connects at least once without the opponent blocking, the third strike knocks them in the air. Rose then leaps toward her opponent and uses her Soul Throw to toss them to the ground on the opposite side of the stage. Finally, she gathers as much Soul Power as she can in her hands and fires a beam of purple energy down at them.

Tactics

Like most Critical Arts, this move is used to end combos to deal large amounts of damage to the opponent due to 50% damage minimum all Critical Arts enjoy in the Damage Scaling chart. The Fate Aura Spark can be canceled from Rose's special moves such as Soul Spark and Soul Spiral. Rose is also fully invincible during the startup of this move. If the opponent is constantly keeping Rose from a distance with projectiles, she can use this move to go through the projectiles and deal massive damage at the same time. It requires a quick read, but it can discourage some of her opponent's tactics.

Trivia

• This is the only use of Soul Throw in Rose's moveset in Street Fighter V; this would be replaced by Soul Bind instead.
  • Her usage of a scarf strike to lead into Soul Throw resembles her Aura Soul Throw.
