Double Edge Dance

[royinator]

what do you think is the best combo sequence for Roy's double edge dance?

i'm sorry if there's another thread like this one... can you redirect me to it if there is?

Hello royinator,
I must say that the best one is the down dance, with the continuous stabbings. I gets really good damage.
PS are you asian?

Theres a whole section dedicated to DED in the Roy FAQ thread.

Roy's "down dance" with the continous stabbings is only good against CC'ers. Even then they usually hit you before you get to the stabbings

EDIT: Just realised the "multiple stabbings" are the fourth hit. You are never going to hit that against a good smash player.

no, the down combo should only be used for crouch cancellers. >b>b>b is a good general combo. >b^b>b is good against fast fallers.

ps: why the hell are you asking him if hes asian?

I don't know. I just have this feeling *cough met him cough*
Just can't put my hands on it. But yea I really just wanted to post stabby thingys. Its not every day you get a post like that

 

[handsockpuppet]

to rack up damage i use >B>B^BvB or >B^B^BvB. against fox or falco at the edge i used >B^B^B so that they meteor cancel it and then I counter their firefox/firefalco. >B>B>B is good in general. >B>BvB against CCers and >B>BvBvB to shield poke.

 

[Fireflare]

the >^v> combo looks the best

the >^v> combo looks the best

no offense,l but that one's not very good. the trick with the DED is to keep them the whole time. the second ^B lifts the person upward and the third vB only works if they're on the ground and its purpose is to lift them up. then the fourth >B is is pretty much the only DED you really want to sweetspot and you need them slightly in front of you, not above.

dont use the >>^v or >^^v because good players will either tech/roll/standup attack. those combos only work on ******** cpus.

uhh has to be over B forward , forward , forward

YOU ARE AMAZING. You know me like you were my friend, or in my web design class sitting right next to me, posting on this forum as opposed to doing work. But hat is just unrealistic.

This thread has officially become the royinator and falco champ talk during web design without saying anything even though we are right next to each other thread

 

[handsockpuppet]

dudes stop spamming. put some useful DED combinations or get out.

 

[theONEjanitor]

i dunno i mostly use >b>b>b>b

:-P

 

[Milordog1]

I would say >b >b vb vb

 

[Black Waltz]

I would say >b >b vb vb

/palminface

What does that mean?

 

[Black Waltz]

it means that im somewhat frustrated at the fact that you said that the best DED combo is >>vv and it is definitely not.

 

[handsockpuppet]

that one's good if you want to shield poke or perhaps against a CCer, but it's not the best.

 

[Milordog1]

I'l try to find new ones...I usually use >>>v

>B to start
Because this is the only way to start the DED.
>B most of the time, not exactly sure when to use ^B for this part yet.
It's a second hit.
>B third hit
Is the most standard finish, it has good knockback and can set up for edgeguards.
^B third hit
Is a meteor smash. Can set up for vB fourth hit, fsmash, or techchase.
vB third hit
Sends CCers flying upward. Not useful for much else, though it barely pressures the shield.

The fourth hit you usually don't want to do unless your opponent is either set up for it or really slow to get out of shield. This is because after the third hit, you can easily roll out or shieldgrab if you've been shielding.
>B fourth hit
Will hurt.
^B fourth hit
Will shieldpoke a lot. It also brings Roy's sword slightly over platforms, even on stages like Dream Land. Marginally useful if they don't see it coming that one time.
vB fourth hit
Fastest startup, lowest knockback. Has the highest chance of shieldpoking, I suppose.

 

[handsockpuppet]

that basically somes it up.

also mention that the first is for recovery, the second ^B can be used against fast-fallers, and third ^B can be used if they are near the edge and you want them of. it gives time to counter a firefox or firefalco also.
