Roll Spammers

[xiferp]

How do you deal with them? Are there specific moves that work well on them, or do I just have to anticipate rolls?

Anticipate it. It's not too hard. Watch their movements and just react since you already know where they are going. For most characters, simply spamming the character's jab works in these situations. This works pretty well against people who spam spotdodging too.

Dsmash works well. hit's front and behind you. Bair works well too. Upsmash, too. most prediction works

 

[mysticwolf]

there's nothing wrong with being a defensive player

 

[Kanzaki]

Fireball.
Nair.
Dsmash.

The 3 main moves I use against rollers.

 

[Kidlat]

Nair and Dair. Anticipate and execute.

Also works well with spot dodge spammers

 

[ddonaldo]

stutter f-smash works well on roll spammers who like to roll behind you. predict the backward roll and punish

 

[HeroMystic]

There's plenty of ways to stop a roll spammer, but the easiest way (for me anyways) is the D-smash.

Otherwise I'd just gain some distance and return the favor with fireballing.

utilt.....and dsmash...

 

[Geou]

What about those who spam spot dodge? D-Smash is too fast for it so it gets dodged, and the jab combo works on some characters, but others like Wolf can grab you right out of it. If I grab, I get spot dodged then smashed. Any tips?

retreating SH fireball or d-air. mario's d-air is so useful

 

[Geou]

D-Air... wow... that never even crossed my mind. Thanks so much, I lost every single time because of that!

 

[nasir123]

well what i do is go in the middle of the roll and then SH dair trust me it has priority and it stays long plus it just *****:D

 

[BrianTheLion]

MIND GAMEZ predict their rolls and punish them with a juicy f-smash

 

[vato_break]

roll spam yourself

 

[Mario_ 101]

predict their movements. i usually use d smash or b air.

'Predict and Punish' suits this situation fairly well. I tend to go for the Dsmash just in case they finish the roll in front of me. Otherwise, I'll just go for the Fsmash if I see their high on percent. Works good most of the time.

I guess you could go for a Dair or Nair (Due to the long frames). But I find it safer to just go with the Dsmash the majority of the time. It can occasionally poke through if they try to shield it :3
