Nair Help (and a question about Roy)

[stuntcuum3571]

Which is the best way to use Marths Nair? Usually I space much like one would a SHFFl Fair, but is there any advantage to using it like a flying sex kick(Naring while jump through them and landing behind)?

Also, I am starting to use Roy, is that a good idea??????????

Hrm, I think the best way to use Marth's nair is at the distance where you would shffl it, which is what you're already doing. It's a near unbeatable attack when spaced and shffled correctly. I think the only advantage to using it as a flying sex kick while landing behind them is that you can avoid shield grabs.

As for starting to use Roy, can't really say much there. It seems that most people agree that Roy isn't really that dominant of a character and takes a lot of time and patience to win. I use Roy as a "for fun" character so don't exactly take my word for it.

Marth's N-air has very high priority due to the range. To SHFFL with it, you need a pretty good distance and percentage, all characters have different weight so you have to experiement around to see if you can SHFFL them. I would suggest just to hit your opponent, run towards them and short hop and go towards them while doing a N-air.

For Roy, his N-air doesn't seem to have that same priority as Marth. I have been hit out of that N-air many times, I would suggest you play a big more conservatively with your N-airs, maybe only as the last combo (say as an up throw to N-air or D-tilt to N-air). F-airs work pretty well and U-airs are hard to get down as a juggle, but it could work if you practice well.

I just use nair with Marth at random times. I usually use fair.


For Roy, if you want to play him. Playing him might teach you new things and improve all of your characters.
