CP for Roy? Gross, you pedo!
anyway, Battle Field is the worst possible, because the platforms are excellent for his tippers just the right spacing. and no good marth would ever F up the sweetspt with recovery.
Telling people to use another character does not help with advice on Roy Vs. Marth. For every matchup there is you should use Marth/Sheik, because they're better for every matchup.
... did u just tell him not to use roy? lol w.e.
yea marth can fsmash tipper people on platforms above him. which is y FoD's moving plat.s are the way to go.
I wouldn't say it's the
worst possible, just SD the fsmash... plus everyone know it's much harder to sweetspot on BF, so marth is more likely to go to high, which allows roy to edge-guard from the stage as opposed to off the stage ( which having no ground under you against Marth usually equals death ) I personally just don't like FoD because of the stage's sketchiness, and I make a lot of goofy CP's based on nothing technical. Truth be told FoD is probably the better pick of the two. Also, mixing up foward and back throw is good. If your opponent DI's wrong from back throw, good stuff is possible!
As far as picking a different character goes, the guy said he was going to a tourny and wanted to make it quick...ie he's not going to have time to soak in all the strategy it's going to take to win against a "good marth." A "good marth" vs a roy that isn't used to tournies is pretty much instant death, and I'm just trying to give the guy some practical tourny advise. Have a heart you guys, save this kid some $$, lol. There is no quick-tips that let a roy beat a marth. Any advise is still going to have to be practised, honestly to only way to beat a marth is to just be better at smash...period. So the kid is looking for a fast way to beat a tourny marth; being that there is no crash-course to beat marth guide ( that sounds a little catchy, actually ) I give him the next best thing... "pick so-and-so." Short, sweet, and effective, just like the author of this thread asked for.
Btw, off-topic, thanks nova for digging up that seth and exarch guide! I didn't want to start posting back in an old thread, so I figured this is as good as place as any to thank you.
