Description[]
Executed by forward and pushing the heavy kick button, Rose crouches and performs a back-swinging kick with her following leg, while using her leading hand and her following leg as leverage to lean forward while doing so.
Tactics[]
Soul Piede is often a typical long range attack, which makes for an optimal in-and-out poke due to how far Rose leans in during the move then moves back. Soul Piede can also be used as an anti-air if calculated at the right time, and then be followed by an Aura Soul Spark. This attack has more reach than her standing HK at the expense of it having a longer low hurtbox that the opponent can hit with crunching attacks.
In Street Fighter V, Soul Piede is one of Rose's Crush Counter moves. If she scores a Crush Counter hit with this attack, she is rewarded with massive frame advantage to either link with Standing Heavy Punch or dash in for more damaging combo opportunities. Like in previous renditions, Soul Piede is mainly used as a mid to long-range poke to keep the opponent on their heels while dealing with the possible zoning options at her disposal. However, this attack whiffs if the opponent is crouching.
While she is +4 on hit, the pushback makes it difficult for her to link with another normal. Rose is also -2 on block. However, she can cancel into V-Trigger to maintain frame advantage. Soul Piede is also the second attack in Rose's target combo. If she hits her opponent with Standing Light Kick, she can confirm into this unique attack to put the opponent in a juggle state, allowing her to follow up with one of her special moves.
