Anyone else have a hard time WDing with Roy?

[Brim]

I know this sounds silly...but does anyone have a problem with this? I can barely do it, even wave landing, and literally every other character I can do it with (sorta) and I'm afraid to drop Roy. Roy's my boy after all.

I don't have a problem at all. That's weird :\ I've just been learning to wavedash but I can do it with Roy, Falco and Diddy interchangeably without any additional difficulty with Roy.

Yeah but I mean, like it feels off in general, I'm kind of new to the entirety of wave dashing, but for some reason Roy gives me the hardest time--I just hope I'm doing something wrong, instead of poor reflexes..
Gah, I feel so whiny.

You gotta learn the timing, Roy is as smooth as butter lol

Well... Here's hoping I adjust to the timing soon, even though truth be told I've been considering dropping Roy as my main, mostly because he seems so low in PM, and I don't know why but I feel like his recovery is inadequate now since he drops so fast. I'm thinking of Wolf to be honest, I used him a lot in Brawl, and quite a bit [not nearly as much in PM] in Project M, but I definitely feel like I know the character.

Character sections is on top for a reason

/It's just a different timing like it is for everyone else

I'd suggest going back to basics. Full hop and then directional air dodge and slowly lowering the jump and decreasing the time between your input of the jump and the air dodge.

Someone also posted the jump speeds of all the characters. I'd find Roy and those you can already wavedash with and compare them. That should help you narrow down the timing.

This is why we should be using light press air dodge

Touch the button, if you wish to live.

I think he has a 3 frame jumpstart, which should be the same as Falco and Wolf.

 

[guedes the brawler]

it hels to hold diagonal direction when starting out. Wavedashing from a crouch, if you will.

This is why we should be using light press air dodge

except that doesn't help anything
in fact it would make WD OoS harder because you'd have to fully release the shoulder button after shielding then press it again, instead of just going from light press to full press to go from shield to airdodge like you currently do in the full set

I find Roy's timing to be a little quicker than other characters, but I have no issue with it.
