Roll moves and strategies: Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Special Moves
(Can also be done in the air)
• Roll Buster •
Shoots off a big fiery blast, much like Mega Man's MegaBuster attack. This can also be done in the air but the damage drops a bit when you do so.
Using Light or Hard Punch to execute this doesn't seem to affect things at all. A pretty good projectile though, because it's large and has a fast start up time letting you use it in combos.
(Can also be done in the air)
• Flower Bomb (Hana-taba Bakudan) •
Throws a flower pot bomb at your opponent, which travels in an arc. This does pathetically low damage.
Hard Punch version has more range.
• Use Item •
This makes Roll activate whatever item she's currently equipped with, there are three options. Doing the motions below makes a robot fall out of the sky and gives you the listed item.
• Equip Leaf Shield •
Creates a protective barrier that will absorb one hit, but doesn't prevent throws.
