Claiming the Noodle

[Orion_]

Alright, so Roy has a noodle for a sword, but it can change. If you whack people just right with it, it's a gas-powered flaming pool noodle. If you don't, it's a rather large and floppy spaghetti noodle. While playing the character, I'm sure pretty much all of us have accidentally hit people with the spaghetti noodle instead of the pool noodle, and left the opponent pretty much unharmed.

What I'd like to do in this thread is to categorically find each of Roy's sourspots and find out: what can we do to follow up after hitting with them. If it's a spot so sour that there is no hitstun, that's pretty much out the window. I'm going to load up 20XX in a bit and take a good look at each spaghettiable move and see what the options are to make use of the low knockback and make combos happen.

kanado or whatever's perfect marth thread has the knockback and damage for all of his moves so you should probably look at that instead.

all of his sourspots are 99% useless due to his lag

Then the 1% is what I will find. Weakness shall become strength.

Kadano's thread is amazing, but I'm not sure where to find data for Roy in it. I'll take another look.

his frame data dump has the knockback and damage for about 80-90% of the moves in the game

Aha, found it. It was linked further down in the thread, a modification of Toomai's original data. Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely be using this.

im making a thread right now that organizes it even further

I like this thread. I will report back here later when the noodle is al dente.

i'm pretty sure up air or fair sourspot (i don't remember which) combos into f smash at around 100% or above that range.

Landing sourspot Uair works quite well into Dtilt I can say from experience

U-air can just link into more U-airs if you're fast and precise enough. But if you miss d-tilt is a good option, don't think there's a bad senario for d-tilt

Have you found anything of note that Roy could do out of sourspoted moves?

Sourspotted aerials combo at extremely high percents into f-smash and stuff (but not if the enemy crouch cancels). Usually you want to try to hit them out of the air so that they don't have the CC option.
