Roy: Tip and Tricks

[skwaag5233]

I was playing with my friend and every time I got uair strings and he DI'd away, I would go for a SHFFL'd fair and he would then be down low enough for me to do either a nuetral b or an fmsash. Usually I went for a nuetral b but I feel like fsmash is a little better especially if you're on the edge or your opponent is at kill percent. Does anyone else do this?

I'm pretty sure that F-Smash is more powerful at the center of your sword but I think Flare Blade is consistent throughout + can be used in the air. Brb, gonna go check hitbox stuff and forget to come back to this thread.

I heard something about Roy's Dtilt having interruptable frames recently, and I was wondering if anyone here could explain how that works to me.

roys dtilt, along with every other move, has an FAF (first acitonable frame), or IASA (interruptable as soon as). they are the same thing. this is whats being talked about when you here of interruptable frames, since moves performed on the FAF typically "interrupt" the ending animation, which exists solely for animation purposes, and you can act out of it.

as is, roys dtilt is active on frames 8,9, and 10, and FAF is on frame 20. however, this is a "selective" FAF in that you cannot shield out of it. you can do any action except shield on frame 20, and you have to weight the full duration of the ending animation (56 frames) in order to shield. however, you can easily get around this by tilting forward while attempting to shield at the FAF. This technically has you walk for one frame, then shield. note, most moves arent like this.

I had no idea, thanks a lot. That's two of my questions you've answered today, you're my hero!

Super worth though. 'Dthrow Btilt' will surely change my game.
