Kinda Sorta OK at Smash
I want to add a section of my guide (a huge section actually O_o) that goes through all of Roy's matchups (if nothing else, just his tough matchups and/or high to top tier matchups). The problem is I don't have that much variety in my opponents here. I decided it would be best to make a discussion on the topic.
I am gonna start with Fox, because I have ran into more Fox's than practically anything else, and I know a few ways to deal with him.
Roy vs. Fox:
Roy can combo fox pretty **** well, and there are A LOT of ways to fit in a forward smash early on in a match. He can also **** fox in edgeguarding, but even though he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve against Fox, a good Fox is still hard as **** to beat. The shine is a pain in the *** and makes it hard to get grabs in because you can't shield grab effectively. Roy is also somewhat of a fast faller himself and is comboed well by Fox.
VERY EFFECTIVE COMBOS:
Down tilt > Forward Smash
This is the simplest and prolly one of the best ways to get a KO or rack up damage on Fox.
Fair > Down tilt > Forward Smash
Same as above.
Chain Up Throws > Forward Smash
I usually chain throw fox about 2-3 times and perform a forward smash. I chain throw so they will DI, and that usually makes it much easier to forward smash them.
DED combo >B ^B >B
This works wonders on fox. The second hit knocks him high enough for the third to connect. If you connect with the second hit and they are not crouch cancelling then they almost ALWAYS get hit by the third.
There really isn't much more that I can think of at the moment. I am hoping I can talk to a fox player to find out what a good fox would try to do so I can address things that you would need to watch out for.
