Invisible Ceiling (Roy Social Thread)

[darkoblivion12]

Awesome, I need some money

Fox, Falco, Sheik, Falcon, Ganon :D

wow, aren't you a ****.

 

[Palpi]

I play marth more than falco sheik falcon and ganon...but i hate marth so i refuse to play him haha (now)

 

[darkoblivion12]

eh, I've been playing marth more than roy recently just because it helps me get better. having more options has made me a better player in general. also i've just been tinkering with a lot of characters to see how they play. thus i now have a fox, shiek, cf, etc.

 

[Palpi]

[exarch]

Who plays MH3 in here?

 

[Juushichi]

I got it and sort of play it sporadically.

Just kind of starting though.

 

[exarch]

I haven't been online yet myself, but I just started playing it these past couple of weeks.

It's super fun!

 

[Dr.Faust]

hay can any one here give me advice on how to do pratic roy's ded how do i know when i fram has passed or not

 

[darkoblivion12]

assuming you're talking about timing the individual hits, the easiest way to practice using Roy's DED is to count it out in your head 1, 2, 3, 4. During each number, hit sideB once. I've given this advice to numerous people, so hopefully it works for you too.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Alright, since Roy cannot seem to approach very well, I assume that means the main strategy is stay out of range until you can punish stuff.

 

[TLMarth]

Yeah. I mean it's really hard to get that F smash in to punish people most of the time so I d tilt. I haven't gotten used to using dancing blade a lot yet...

Of course it's awesome getting that F smash.

I like wavedash out of shield-> F smash.

My brother hates the F smash.

F smash is awesome.

 

[TuxingtonIII]

Dancing blade has its weaknesses. It's counterproductive at low percentages since it brings them in closer to you (while you are stuck in the combo)

I think I've found that his Bair is not as terrible as his other airs -- Nair's ok, but the range is too narrow for defending yourself in a pinch

 

[Samba]

d-tilt to dashdance DED is great sheild pressure. I've found, since you can d-tilt and dashdance right of grab reach and start a DED combo

 

[Sethlon]

d-tilt to dashdance DED is great sheild pressure. I've found, since you can d-tilt and dashdance right of grab reach and start a DED combo

One of my favorite things to do

 

[Samba]

I approve of D-tilt to DED mindgames.
And what ever happened to the U-Smash Spike thread? That's something that needs delving into in much greater depth. Anything to give Roy another edge (doh...) in ANY situation is fine by me. Preferred, in fact. And it HAS to be attainable, a mastery over it, as difficult as it may be to perform. If somebody could matriculate themselves in its discipline and get it down cold... He'd be such a deterrent for the opponent to go to the edge of the stage, for one (even though it's normally a bad place to be anyway)... Mindgames, gentlemen... Mindgames
I've already started practicing sweetspotting the U-smash spike, I hope you all will do the same, and share with us your individual discoveries

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Give me that Dsmash! Out of frame 6 (faster than Dtilt). Incredibly easy to sweetspot from a CC, and fastfalling roy helps all the more with CC.

 

[Palpi]

and only like 4000 frames to punished if u miss

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

and only like 4000 frames to punished if u miss

Well, then you better make sure you never miss

 

[vZakat]

Also if you tip down smash it sends them outward similar to y.link's. I love killing people like that because they always freak out.

 

[darkoblivion12]

and only like 4000 frames to punished if u miss

lol don't play roy if you don't enjoy being punished for whiffing moves. <3 laggy moves.

 

[Palpi]

I don't play roy

 

[TuxingtonIII]

gtfo our thread

jk, *hug*

 

[Samba]

You clowns, I wanna talk about Up-Smashes hahah!!

 

[TuxingtonIII]

You clowns, I wanna talk about Up-Smashes hahah!!

Yeah, it's his second sexiest move right behind Counter. I love using his Up-Smash whenever I get the chance.

 

[exarch]

Samba, you want to talk about the upsmash spike, right?

Well as far as I know, it is entirely dependent on the opponent's DI, which makes using it on purpose next to impossible. But if you can prove me wrong and use it intentionally, please do so. Roy needs everything he can get. The upsmash spike is not something that has ever attracted much attention from me for that reason.

The upsmash, not in the spiking sense, is a great move for roy.

(Do not let me crush your dreams for innovation for the character. If you really think you can learn to use the upsmash spike well, then learn it!)

That's what I've noticed as well. you may want to have someone SDI the usmash in different directions and see what happens.

Jesus Christ you guys.

Deader than dead.


Let's revive things by discussing why Roy is better than Marth.

Down tilt.

cuz he's a low tier.

 

[KingClubber]

Can someone make a list of Roy's top 5 attacks that have the most hit-stun.

 

[Sethlon]

Depends...d'you mean hitstun for combos sake, or just hitstun in general (IE including high knockback moves?)

 

[KingClubber]

hit stun in general, combo's aren't a major key point with Roy, at least not to me.

I just need a list of which 5 attacks have the most hit stun

 

[Ripple]

counter, almost full charged flare blade, 4th hit of side b upwards, f-smash, d-smash

these are guesses but probably right

 

[darkoblivion12]

clearly fair and uair should make that list

 

[exarch]

True story: I once fsmash (true) comboed CF 3 times.

On corneria against the fin. Weird knockback where he couldn't tech--and he slid up and down the back of the fin--the 3rd fsmash he went over. Great hitstun on that move

 

[darkoblivion12]

I found out last week that Roy's matchup vs G&W is like 90:10 cuz dtilt->reverse blazer *****.
