There are plenty of threads on combos and match ups but we don't have any on stages to go to, stages to avoid, stage specific tech or anything like that. lets fix it. i'll start by sharing my opinions on some of the stages and how they affect roy.
Battlefield: Pretty average, nothing especially good or bad for roy from what i can tell. however it can be very bad for roy if he forgets to ban it against the likes of pikachu and maybe sheik
FD: Possibly roys worst neutral stage, i personally suggest banning it every time especially against projectile characters
Dreamland: same as battlefield but you get some cheezy up B kills a little bit earlier
TnC: Pretty good, correct me if im wrong but it has lower than average ceiling similar to dreamland so up b out of shield can be especially potent here. note that if you up b from the ground you can land on the platforms on the left and right sides of the stage during the 3 platform transition similar to marth landing on the top platform of battlefield with up b making it a lot safer.
Smashville: the classic neutral stage, everyone loves it and gentlemans to it quite often, and most often thats fine. however one important note is you should always try to ban this stage against sheik, the platform is too good for her to continue strings, help edge guard, retreat to it with her speed, or just charge needles for free
Lylat: as long as you are careful with your recovery there isnt really anything wrong with it, it can be a useful counterpick to ness because of the stage tilting messing up PK fire and his recovery
Halberd: Not a bad stage for roy in itself, up B out of shield can be devastating on this stage, however i still recommend banning it against all the characters that want to go to it, especially rosalina
Delfino: i think its a pretty good stage to pick if you are against an edge guardy character like pikachu or sheik but you have to watch out for sheik fair strings on the walk off sections, up B during transitions is devastating, i've seen it kill as early as 60%
thats all i've got, anyone else got some input?
