How do I defeat someone with a stupid giant sword? his stupid sword never lets me get close to him. My brother tends to be aggressive with roy, so there's not that much time to charge my shadow ball. I don't know how to beat roy. please help
1)teleport
2)disable
3)runaway/play defense
4)tilt and poke him
5)he has no projectile spam it(at proper distances)
6)he need to take damage when near you, bait him into mistakes
Try this.
If he wants to spam grab.
1)runaway and "play stupid" with WD near his max range (when you see him whiffing poke him with JC disable or ftilt)
2)throw a fireball mid range if he gets hit or blocks grab him if he jumps uptilt him into JC uair or WD under him and SH grab him.
3)If he Fairs a lot ftilt him it will beat it
4)If he likes to flare blade spot dodge(predict the flare blade) it or roll away(safer)
Your gameplan is...
Poke/grab and run away and when he makes a mistake(like whiffing or getting hit with disable)smash,b,upthrow or fair.
use disable and teleport(both have to be timed right and do not get predictable).
disable beats all of marths/roys attacks and teleport(when timed right and not predictablly used) counters marth/roy because they don't have a projectile.CC when hit.
Things to keep in mind...
*Do not stand still
*Do not try to outfight them up close(hit and run,predict and counter,bait bait bait)
*Do not overuse smashes(they are exclusively finishers and situational attacks when someone makes a mistake that leaves them open for a long time(1-2 second) smash overwise poke,grab, run)
*Do not ever(in any fighting game) go where they want/setting up for you to go. Always stay as random and tricky as possible. If they are expecting you to jump after them WD back or WD under them. If they are constantly hitting you with a attack/strat+attack them move into a spot or play in a way that is very foriegn for them.
*Do not play to a character's/players strengths. Do what your character/you do well. play your game.
*Be consistant. Absolute most important thing.
*Change up your offense when they are catching on but still play your game.Mewtwo is not an offensive character(luigi is)
