Best way to punish Rolling?

[SpruceTengu]

An aptly named thread. Since im on summer vacation, i can't play with my usual crew who are considerably more advanced players (they use more advanced techniques and such), and I'm left to play with generally less experienced comepetition in my local area. I mean they're all good buddies of mine, but all they really do is get in rolling wars that end up with "who can roll faster" etc., and this puts a damper on my efforts to teach them to WD/SHFFL etc in order to get more stiff competition. What are some good techniques to really show them that rolling is not as good a tac as they think it is? Thanks for your help ahead of time. : )

it's pretty simply, just follow the roll then grab them, smash them, combo them, etc at the end of their roll. Also some attacks, such as falcon's raptor boost and ganon's wizard foot can be pretty effective for chasing rolls since they'll often catch a rolling character right out of a roll. Be creative, it's really not too tough to punish an opponent that rolls too much.

Rand's correct about that. It's a horribly predictable pattern once you stop trying to spam hitting them and actually stop for a second and realize exactly what they're doing. Once you figure out they're rolldancing, punishment is just knowing the timing and distance of a roll.

Wow this thread is hilarious. I just PMed someone to ask them a lil about this and somehow missed the answer right here. I'm in the exact same situation with people who just roll constantly. This might shed some light on the subject.

Play peach, tape the c-stick down walk away as they roll into the dress of doom

I just turn around and grab them.

Jiggs rest is the best way to punish rolling. Sh into the position they roll in and finish them. Rollout works too actually.

grabbing helps punish sheilding.

The best way to punish rolling is to damage them. Seriously, that's it.

The lag will give you time to grab. Then chain-throw 'em. Then tell them that rolling is **** and you proved it through your demonstration. Then pee on their pets.

Really just ask them which character they believe sucks the most(tier rank doesn't matter, just what they believe), and trash them all with the character(s). They'll either want to stop playing smash or start take a few of your pointers.

Ah, thanks for the rather varied and yet promising responses. I appreciate the effort that went into your advice...and i'll give most of them a shot. Though i dont plan on peeing on any pets. No offense.. it was a good suggestion but.. not my style.

Just play with Marth.It's instantly over.

follow the roll with a SHFFL

or find their habit- most rollers will either try to roll behind you or away from you. Stand roughly within rolling distance and hit them out of the roll.

dashdancing should also work well

cmon, all you have to do is spam the spin attack. right???. they might even get link-spiked if they roll behind you.or some down smashes may work.
