The Mekong Delta Attack is one of Rolento's special attacks, introduced in the Street Fighter Alpha series.

Input

All appearances	(+ to roll forwards)

DescriptionEdit

Executed by pressing all three punches, Rolento performs a simple backflip, much like one of Vega's. If punch is pressed while Rolento is performing the backflip, he will tuck into a ball and roll forward, not unlike a ground version of Blanka's Rolling Attack. How far he rolls is determined by the punch button pressed. If he rolls into the opponent, he will hit them and rebound a small distance.

TacticsEdit

The rebound occurs even if the hit is blocked, making the attack somewhat safe on block. However, because the backflip may alert the opponent to the possibility of the attack, Rolento is often likely to be hit out of the roll.

A recommended tactic is to mostly use the backflip for escape only, and to only use the forward roll when opportunities present themselves, such as when the opponent throws a projectile while Rolento is backflipping^[1].

EtymologyEdit

The attack, like many in Rolento's repertoire, is named for the Mekong River Delta in Vietnam, suggesting that Rolento may be a veteran of that war.
