Rose's LP Soul Reflect - What is the damage increase?
So I've been dabbling with Rose a little and I kind of dig her. Now I heard rose gets 5% damage increase for each fireba she absorbs with the LP Soul Reflect. What exactly does that mean? 5% on next attack? 5% on all attacks? 5% on just normals? Or 5% on just specials? Is there a limit to the increase? Does it mean, if I absorb 20 fireballs, I do x2 damage?!
I went into training mode to test some of it out, but i didn't get a clear answer. I saw some spike in damage but then it went away and never came back. can anyone shed some light on this?

Moves Affected
These are all of the attacks that Rose gains a damage increase on after absorbing a fireball with the LP Soul Reflect:
- Soul Spark
- Aura Soul Spark (Super Combo)
- Soul Satellite (Ultra 2)
Duration
The damage increase will be in effect until one of the moves above is performed. If Rose does any of her other moves, then she does not lose the increase in damage. It's akin to Sagat's Angry Scar; you have to use a specific move that is buffed in order to lose the buff.
Damage Increase
The damage increases for each fireball absorbed in a row up until the seventh fireball. After seven fireballs are absorbed, there is no more damage increase.
Also note that block damage is increased as well for all of the above moves as well as EX damage (and EX block damage as well) in the case of the Soul Spark.
Here is the frame data for the various moves which includes the various damage increases depending on the number of fireballs absorbed in a row. I'll group them according to move:
Soul Spark
| Fireballs Absorbed | LP, MP, HP Damage on hit | LP, MP, HP Damage on block | EX Damage on hit | EX Damage on block |
| 0 | 80 | 20 | 30*70 | 7*17 |
| 1 | 84 | 21 | 32*74 | 8*18 |
| 2 | 88 | 22 | 33*77 | 8*19 |
| 3 | 92 | 23 | 35*81 | 9*20 |
| 4 | 96 | 24 | 36*84 | 9*21 |
| 5 | 100 | 25 | 38*88 | 9*22 |
| 6 | 104 | 26 | 39*91 | 10*23 |
| 7 and above | 108 | 27 | 41*95 | 10*23 |
Note: EX Damage on block for the Soul Spark flattens out after the sixth fireball absorbed.
Aura Soul Spark
| Fireballs Absorbed | Damage on hit | Damage on block |
| 0 | 50x4*100 | 12x4*25 |
| 1 | 53x4*105 | 13x4*27 |
| 2 | 55x4*110 | 14x4*28 |
| 3 | 58x4*115 | 14x4*29 |
| 4 | 60x4*120 | 15x4*30 |
| 5 | 63x4*125 | 15x4*32 |
| 6 | 65x4*130 | 16x4*33 |
| 7 and above | 68x4*135 | 17x4*34 |
Soul Satellite (Ultra Combo 2, max meter)
| Fireballs Absorbed | Damage on hit | Damage on block |
| 0 | 120*120 | 30*30 |
| 1 | 124*120 | 31*30 |
| 2 | 128*120 | 32*30 |
| 3 | 132*120 | 33*30 |
| 4 | 136*120 | 34*30 |
| 5 | 140*120 | 35*30 |
| 6 | 144*120 | 36*30 |
| 7 and above | 148*120 | 37*30 |
Note: The above values are taken when the revenge meter is maximized, as it is the only way to determine consistent numbers for the Ultra damage.
