Waaaaaaay late.TLTCbeats Aarvark
Good
also got 3rd solo at said tournament. Doesn't mean much at all since it's of course wifi, but it's cool. Sucks he's not gonna be able to go..

I also saw a lot of Yoshi doing well, but once again Wifi.Waaaaaaay late.

That's true but you have to take wifi with a grain of salt, at best. It takes skill to play pool on a boat but the waves will always interfere even when the sea is calm. That's why serious pool tournaments aren't held on boats*.
If only we could get gyroscopic stabilizers for wifi, or you know, a better netcode
Unless it has all the DLC or is an enhanced port with more stages/characters, like the rumors have been saying.
Blazer is too risky to be a kill move. Getting the kill hitbox is weird as well.
Well you don't wanna throw it out at random of course, if your opponent is in the air that's when you prepare to Blazer.
Ok but why would you be jumping in on Roy in the first place? That's what made people think fsmash was broken on release lmao
Oh so the opponent wants to stay grounded? Excellent, now they get to deal with Roy's jab, side B, short hop n-airs that can confirm into KOs and his 50/50 grab followups that force them into the air anyway. And Blazer still eats most moves on reaction since super armor lasts frames 4-10.
and have strictly better Dancing Blades. DED is a good button but I'm not sure what makes it so excellent.
What does this mean? Please elaborate.
A burst option. When you hear somebody say "I use a burst option as a punish", you think of a Sheik doing a buffered Dash Attack as she drops her shield. Essentially, a quick, easy to use punish option. Sheik's Dash Attack, Samus's Dash Attack etc are good examples.
Aight I worded that badly. I mean, I know what a burst mobility option is. I just don't see how DB fits in. Yeah it's a fast multihit with high damage, and it can be used out of a dash... but surely it's not used in the same way as dedicated burst options like Falcon's dash grab, or Samus/Pit/MK dash attack. Dash > DB doesn't cover the same amount of distance in anywhere near the same amount of time, and it's beaten in reward by 3/4 of those examples.
Pits have actual walking acceleration too. IIRC it's tied for second place with the majority of the cast and then the Pits have 16th best top walking speed. Makes every other swordsman feel sluggish as **** in comparison.I'd hesitate to call Roy's mobility that impressive.
He has a good run speed and extended dash dance but his walk has an acceleration of 0 (same issue every swordfighter has bar
Perhaps "burst" is the wrong phrase to use. A better way to describe it would be a move that you can use to punish almost anything you like reliably, and deal solid damage. Not many other strictly quick punishing moves solidly work as moves that deal respectable damage and function as KO moves too.
I'm pretty sure that on average DED gets more kills than Marth's DB by a solid margin actually.
Not really. All of Marth's tipper hits have much more launching power than Roy's DED.I'm pretty sure that on average DED gets more kills than Marth's DB by a solid margin actually.
But they're also considerably less likely to land. The move's forward motion makes it hard to land a sweetspot finisher with Marth, whereas for Roy it keeps the opponent close to the sweetspot consistently. Roy killing his opponent with a DED-sweetspot is not that rare a sight compared to a clean DB-kill from Marth, which is a pretty specific and uncommon occurence.
I understand your points here, and that's completely fine.But they're also considerably less likely to land. The move's forward motion makes it hard to land a sweetspot finisher with Marth, whereas for Roy it keeps the opponent close to the sweetspot consistently. Roy killing his opponent with a DED-sweetspot is not that rare a sight compared to a clean DB-kill from Marth, which is a pretty specific and uncommon occurence.
Edit: Basically, DED vs DB is the one instance where Roy's sweetspot placement is actually more functional than Marth's whose DB iteration is somewhat undertuned compared to Brawl.
Except you have absolutely no reason to approach Roy in the first place and his grounded moveset ruined by any projectile or bigger disjoint
in a way where he has explosive reward in advantage but most people have the mindset to approach them when they have absolutely no reason to do so then die for it even though they can't touch you most of the time if you play noncommittal.
It's not that simple. Look here:
This is more of a case of Mew2King having god-like reads and conditioning combined with using a really good character. Even despite the disastrous first stock, Ryo took Cloud from 8 to 52% from a single combo, that's what I mean when I say his punish game is really good.Roy has isolated good moves but they all don't come together for that functional of a gameplan. Nair, DED and jab are all very integral buttons (nair1 confirms are pretty scary) but the character's conversions only really make way once you make a mistake. He's kinda like
This set is what is an important example talking about.
Considering Abadango has had practically zero Roy experience beforehand, using that set as an example is pretty disingenuous.
You comparing a great move to a good move.What makes Roy's side B busted?
a jump squat is just how long it takes for you to get off the ground after you press the jump button.
Then technically the term is a 'ground jump' because that's the term the games use, not a jump squat.a jump squat is just how long it takes for you to get off the ground after you press the jump button.
