Roy's Up smash Spike

[Someturtlesaregreen]

Is there any way to make landing this easier?
Any time I get remotely close to landing it, the opposite player goes down, hits the ground, and then gets sent up like a regular up smash.
Example for those who might be new to this-

The thing is, in that situation it might make more sense to use a short hop dair to meteor him. The only advantages to the up spike is the spike and it is disjointed. The move lands at the tip in the first few frames, so just practice I guess. It is pretty hard to use.

Thanks for telling me a better option, at least I can still try to use it to style.

Easier for this is subjective. Out of his four spikes/meteors(?), this is probably the illest and hardest to properly set up. I've had my best luck at the edge of platforms and ledges, but I believe it's all DI dependent on the opponent.

side b up 3. the only "spike" is his up smash though, since everything else can be meteor canceled.

oh, and the DEADLY DEATH MANEUVER.
