I know the MU against Villager is terrible, but I thought up of something. It's a very situational and minimal thing, but I couldn't find anything on it and was wondering if any ROB players knew off the top of their head whether it's guaranteed or not.
If Villager pocketed ROB's gyro (and the gyro hasn't expired), cuts down a tree, and ROB reflects the tree right back at him, can he avoid the tree or is he going to get hit regardless?
I thought this through and honestly I think the reflected tree will kill him if he's at a good percent like it usually would. The best case scenario for Villager I feel would be if he shields quick enough and gets stunned from a shield-break. I might test this out more on my own time, but I just was curious if any ROB players knew off the top of their head and had any input confirming or re-evaluating the theory. Granted Side-B is a risky / laggy move, but if Villager truly can't get out of it without having to re-pocket the tree it's a helpful punish. I know rolling, spot-dodging, and jumping might sound like obvious solutions, but does the end-lag on that move expire before the tree hits him?
