9x out of 10 I'm usually the black Roy, sometimes I go with yellow (the last palette) or violet (the 1 in the middle).Fixed mine as well
Btw which Roy palette should I use for the tourney next week?
Trying not to copy some other people so here's my mindset about me choosing:
^Choice 4------------^ZeRo---------------^Sethlon-------------^Choice 3----------^MasonEliwood--^Choice 1----------^Choice 2-----------^StaticManny
Didn't realize I was doing that. Thank you
I've been using black Roy lately but the violet and white/lavender one look appealing to me as well
NorCal still has a lot. At least for Melee. There's always NorCal vs. SoCal hype. Not sure about other games. It's always worth branching into a new game or getting outside your comfort zone if there's nothing for the game you're mainly focused on atm, because you'll warm up to whatever game it is and things carry really well to other games if you have the focus. It'll eventually carry to other games or give you something to switch back and forth with if you get burnt out on one once the time comes.

not bad on those Roy matches. Try using side-b to combo from forward throw and using pummels on throws to get more mileage. The only time I don't pummel is when I want to catch bad DI or do a DI mixup for something potentially fatal. Good movement and fundamentals tho, and good punish game other than lack up pummels.
Guide to Eliwood the meta.
and less tourney nerves to hold me back. I'll briefly explain the matches I had in the bracket. was okay. He knew the basic Mario combos but he always went for dash attack and did not have good mobility. got me a bit nervous because he edge guarded me well and took the first game. I switched over to and beat his . He then switched to which seemed to work against him because I pretty much wrecked him. The switch worked very well for me and I'm glad I practiced with him throughout last week. but it slipped my mind the first 2 matches but I was just better and got good reads. He switched to for the last game and came close to winning. I still pulled out the win though fished for grabs way too much and that made it easy to win was hands down the best player in the tourney. Everything was on point and it felt like I was playing against Fatality's His was also amazing and used his Dtilts and Smash attacks effectively to block my options in killing him. My first set with him in Winner's Finals was better than the 2nd set because I came close to winning on all games while in the Grand Finals he had me completely downloaded. He didn't even go in Grand finals and proceeded to roflpwn me. but more predictable than Gottan with . He almost won all 3 games but he gave up too much space with and blindly ran in for the kill with , allowing me to grab him consistently and set up Fsmashes and charged Flare Blades. players lol
Dude, stop. You're only making me want Eliwood in Smash even more now. XD
nothing but memes and puns come to mind
we got a new recruit?
just looks like squid boards to me
Roy Unseals His Fate (based on his sword)
I personally don't mind Lycian Alliance or Knights of Elibe, and I'm fine with whatever looks good.
Ha ha, thanks for the warm welcome. Shhh, don't tell the Links I'm here. Also, shall we have a vote on it?
I get the recruitment arrangements out for anybody new
I don't your suggestions everyday
Meh, went with Knights of Elibe cuz it sounds cooler lol.
YOU BETTER DON'T MY SUGGESTIONS OR ELSE I'LL HAVE TO DON'T MYSELF!! But seriously, don't my suggestion.
Too late. I already noticed.
Honestly, I'd rather they buffed everyone to Shiek's level instead of nerfing her. Give them more options and combos to compete with her. Imagine how awesome it would be to have everyone be about as good as Shiek.
It would be melee all over again. Shiek is -too- strong. Nobody should be so lagless. Atleast not without smart usage of techs ofc.
Huh. I got time after dinner. I'll pm you when I am ready if that's okay? You can easily do some spars against others in the meantime, can take a bit.Any of you R O Y B O Y Z want to spar? I'm going to a locals soon and would love some practice.
Ayyy I was about to ask that! If you still have my friend code (and you're still free to battle) I'll hop onlineAny of you R O Y B O Y Z want to spar? I'm going to a locals soon and would love some practice.
ya I actually don't want to play that.
has so many tools it wouldn't be easy to do with out removing certain character's niches. Sometimes buffing everyone removes what makes a certain character weak and their weaknesses. weaknesses are what make a character just as much as strengths
Well I'm not saying to give them lagless stuff. You should watch this if you haven't already.ya I actually don't want to play that.
ya, I should have mentioned the work it would have been to buff every character up
That's exactly what I was thinking of. Not making everyone SLHG fast, but giving everyone unique competitive strengths that let each character contend with most or all of the cast without or with fewer unwinnables.
They can't change a character out of it's slot. Imagine if they removed Roy's kill power! That would completely change what he is in this game. Imagine if they buffed Mewtwo's throws, that would completely change him from the defensive punisher he is now to a powerhouse that is high tier, and great as it would be, he would be OP and he wouldn't need to rely on punishes anymore.
Just find another way to improve him then. Make him heavier or give him some more combo starters/kill set-ups for example.
There isn't a whole lot to improve with Mewtwo, mainly a couple of weird hitboxes and maybe a Dthrow that doesn't send the opponent quite as far, but Dthrow shouldn't combo and his weight isn't a huge problem. He just has a high skill requirement and needs a lot of practice. Plus, he is super underdeveloped.
Why can't Dthrow combo? How would that be OP or negative?
Dthrow-Fair-Fair would be an easy kill combo on light characters and would deal an easy 35%. If it sent a shorter distance it would require a tech read and would lead into fewer less powerful set-ups. Plus, it would fit in the role Mewtwo plays in this game.
more weight would be the same as removing his glass canon aspect of the character
How would making his punish game decent make him less of a punisher, exactly? I'd like to hear more if I'm missing the point. A combo throw is a good punish you earn from a punish. You would still bait and punish stuff, just with the reward Mewtwo deserves and doesn't get compared to other characters. If his role is to bait and punish well, and he can't bait and punish as well as more well-rounded or stronger characters, does his role and playstyle stand out? I think there can definitely be improvements to Mewtwo.
I agree with quite a bit of what you said and it is a new perspective. All of the combos I mentioned work and work really well. The only one I still have trouble with is Dtilt-DJ Weak Uair-Fair. And Dtilt-Fair-Fair true combos (all the ones I mentioned do and the combo starters all lead into true combos) and works on about forty percent of the cast, it links on the rest of them. Mewtwo is a hard punish character, and has to work for his punishes. I think that changing his Dthrow would be great, but I don't think it will be to the scale of Robin or Ike. If it introduced a tech chase situation that would be great, or if it sent more above Mewtwo that would be cool as well. especially if Dthrow-Uair worked or Nair. I think it would be great, but all of Mewtwo's punishes are hard punishes and require a read or a mistake on the opponent. His other throws are mainly used for stage control (Bthrow and Fthrow) Damage (Fthrow) or killing (Bthrow Uthrow) I think it might work to give him a combo out of dthrow but I don't know how well that applies to the hard punish that requires a read character he is now. As to how the combos aren't ideal... Have you seen the Mewtwo combo thread? I made it...
It depends on how much weight they give him.
They might be able to make him as light as Shiek but no heavier. If he was as light as peach then he would be really good, and lose the glass cannon aspect.
Mewtwo dthrow tech chase? That would be super sexy, you had me at that idea. I like that a lot. Tech chases are something you gotta work hard to keep going, and it fits Mewtwo. It's something I'm trying to tighten more in Melee/PM, I wish this game had more tech chasing or Snake's dthrow. I might not be frame-perfect going for his combos or I might be going for them in the wrong instances, my b. I like Peach's dthrow a lot, it seems good for Mewtwo. My b again on underdeveloped and not underrated, I took what you said out of context. A lot is just my b and I took what you said out of proper context or didn't fully understand. You seem to have the ideal buffs I thought of a while back and I respect that. This is good stuff. I came off a bit as a **** and I apologize, I'm trying to do that less but it happens.
found this combo day 1, thought people knew about it already
as I see it this is a social, I can talk about what I like
