    Bouncer vs Rosie

    I'm new to these forums so I don't know if there's already one of these posts, but would you rather be the bouncer big daddy or the rosie in bioshock 2?

    From my name you can obviously tell i would pick the bouncer, for two reasons.
    1) Their helmets are cooler (lol)
    2) They seem more B.A. then a rosie.

    I would love to play as a bouncer. I really like the rosies too, but I think it would be more interesting to have that huge bulked up form while you're fighting in the multiplayer mode.

    Hopefully they let us choose or customise our SP character.If they want us to become a rosie it's probably because it's the big daddy which feels more human compared to the bouncer.I don't mind becoming a rosie, but I would prefer being a bouncer.Seeing a rosie with a drill is just out of place.To "lookbehindu" I believe the nine minute video showed the protagonist wearing a rosie's helmet.It appears when he gets up and sees his reflection in the water.I could be wrong though.

    That was a placeholder model for the player character, the final model isn't finished yet.

    I'd play as a Bouncer. They just look way cooler.

    Wait I thought it was the protodaddy we were playing as, and that isn't a Rosie or a Bouncer, but if I picked between the two, I'd wanna be the bouncer. Helmet wouldn't be great for visibility but bouncers are just kinda how I see the big daddies. Just my opinion.

    Rosie definately. Mines + rivets = dead splicers. There is no way you could get killed if you play a Rosie right. Bouncer is restricted to Melee which leaves many vulnerabilities.

    It seems to me that it will be a combination of the elite bouncer and the rosie, that's what it looks like to me in the demo walkthrough videos.

    I think the one in the videos was just a placeholder. You can see what the new big daddy really looks like on the cover of the July GamePro.

    Anyway, I think the bouncer is a lot cooler than the rosie. Their helmets look cooler and they have a giant drill.

    I would have liked to be a Bouncer only for how they look and how you get to use their drill.

    Based on how it would play out in the game, I would have to say Rosie. Because he's less disfigured from splicing AND he has proximity mines/rivet gun. If you pit two bouncers against each other, the fight takes forever unless you intervene. But if it was two rosies, then the fight ends in about a minute. Melee attacks seem to have barely any effect against the Big Daddy armor. Rather, they're more vulnerable to almost any other types of damage (except fire, unless they were standing on a oil slick - which does massive damage per second even against Big Daddies).

    In a fight between a Rosie and Bouncer, the Rosie would probably win.

    But based on the "coolness" factor, I like the Bouncer's drill and slow-mo ability.

    Bouncer just because they look awesome. But I would also rather fight a bouncer instead of a rosie because they run straight into any traps you place.

  21. #21
    As much as I love the Bouncer the Rosie would definitely win because they have a ton more of HP then the Bouncer.

  22. #22
    Bouncer because it looks way more intimidating and plus who doesn't want to put a drill through some splicer. But the rosie does have the advantage with ranged combat.

    I think a Rosie. I had the hypnotize big daddy plasmid and I used it on one Rosie and took them over to fight another. Both had full health. My rosie killed the other one in less than 15 seconds. One shot took about half its health. I put a few shotgun shots into the other rosie just to make sure I'd win. The Rosie's rivet gun is extremely powerful though. Go try a Rosie VS Rosie fight.

    Bouncer vs Bouncer fight = takes forever
    Rosie vs Rosie fight = less than 30 seconds (if you help)

    It probably has something to do with the BD armor being almost immune to physical damage.
    I hope they don't include a hypnotize plasmid in the second game... it would make it too easy. Or if they have to, give it to your character very late in the game where it's practically useless.

    A bouncer has 2750 health (normal) and the elite bouncer has (4100)

    Now compare that to the rosie,

    3300 health (normal) and the elite rosie (4900) health.

    I guess the devs liked the rosie more .

    Well they had to equalize it out, the bouncer was just so awesomely bad ass, that they probably figured, hey, we gotta give the rosie something.

    Because you said that, the Rosie and Bouncer both get ticked off and team up to own the protoBD. Then they go back to fighting.

    bouncer would win because they quickly close the distance and nock the enemy over (i don't get how they run so fast) the rosie probably would get one shot off then would be owned with the drill

    Can't happen, Prototype Bigg Daddy can counter them both of them.

    The second Rosie turns to attack, Rosie already has a drill through his body.
    Bouncer charges cat ProtoBD, ProtoBD steps out of the way turns around, thens puts rivets into the Bouncers head. (ProtoBD wins, without using plasmids!)

    Here's another scenario:

    Bouncer slams drill into ground, disorienting the protoBD. Then Bouncer charges him and stuns him while doing massive damage. Then tries to strike protoBD with drill, but protoBD happens to press the drill button at the same time. A button mashing match ensues (like Gears of War), but it's a tie. Both are now distracted. The Rosie is in the back and starts making headshots on the protoBD. Then quickly throws a proximity mine for good measure. The end.

    I think the increased health all-around is completely story-based, considering you first encounter the bouncer in Med. Pavilion and are pretty weak in comparison, but then you meet Rosie in Neptune's Bounty, but are stronger due to more plasmids / tonics / etc, so they increased the health of all of the enemies in the more difficult areas to give you a challenge..
    or at least that's what I think.

    A rosie is more dependent on distance for attacking. (Disregard the health deficits that the game gives them. That is simply for balancing reasons, not to be regarded as lore.) Bouncers specialize in closing distance, disorienting them, and stabbing their face with a sharp, rotating object. Therefore, in my humble opinion, a Bouncer is the victor in this skirmish.

    It depends on what kind of fight your envisioning: a realistic one? or a in-game one?
    If it's a realistic fight with physics/enviroment, then anything can happen. A Bouncer might quickly cover the distance and impale the Rosie right away. Or the Rosie might be able to make a single headshot or use the proximity mine to bring down the ceiling from above the Bouncer. And there are many other situations that would decide the outcome of the battle.
    But if it's in-game... well, from what I gather the Rosie will win (unless it only has a few hitpoints left and the Bouncer has a full health bar). Rivet Gun + Proximity Mines will always trump anything (even a armored Big Daddy) while the Drill only seems to be really effective against non-armored targets. Unless someone can prove that the Rosie's armor is specifically weak against the Drill... otherwise it seems BD armor is nearly immune against melee attacks.
