Are you having trouble with rolling? There is a solution!

I've noticed the rolling in this game has become a very contentious topic, but I personally have not had an issue with it aside from when I first started playing for glory. I was searching around for a solution to help explain how to effectively deal with rolling and found something that might help.

In training mode, you can set a level 9 computer to "run". in this mode they will constantly dash, roll, and jump to escape you. They spam rolls like crazy. Throw in Little Mac(or whatever character has been giving you trouble), play your main, and spend 15-20 minutes figuring out how to abuse the rolls.

Remember, rolls provide no offensive options, and while they provide invincibility frames, they also have frames that are susceptible to damage which are predictable and unable to be cancelled once a roll is initiated. With a little practice you'll be taking down the roll spammers in no time!

I've started to learn that this problem might be exclusive to the 3ds version, timing smash attacks or even dash attacks become increasingly hard the more invested into the match you tend to be because the circle pad is kind of imprecise when it comes to doing a forward tilt vs a forward smash. I feel that a c stick or just a proper analog would solve most peoples problems with the rolling, I'm sure most people don't notice that it takes little more time to do a smash attack because you have to make sure you're doing the right inputs or else you get a dash attack or a tilt

I did glue sandpaper to my circle pad, so that may be a reason I'm having less trouble as well.
