These are really great! Definitely worth watching for those working on Roy or interested. And I love the use of the drawing program; I think helps visualize and explain things better. I've seen some similar analysis videos where players went over matches, but they lacked a drawing program when it could have helped explained certain things.

I thought this might be useful for the Link MU since Dthrow things are a decent part of Link's game. This was typed up by a user named Fox is Openly Deceptive over in the Link boards. He has a whole list on every character for Dthrow follow ups in the Link metagame thread in case you're interested. http://smashboards.com/threads/link...rmative-quotes-can-be-found-in-the-op.379659/ You can find it under "D-throw Combos, Strings and Mixups", and it's the last quote in that section. It seems Roy is one of the lucky ones who's immune to the Dthrow Uair kill setup, haha.

This write-up is specifically for Roy:


0%: U-tilt can only be avoided with a DJ immediate airdodge.

10%: Roy must DI behind Link and airdodge or do a frame perfect DJ immediate airdodge to avoid U-tilt.

20%: U-tilt is unavoidable.

30%: As above.

40%: As above except U-smash is also unavoidable.

50%: As above.

60%: As above except FH Nair is unavoidable.

70%: As above except U-tilt and U-smash can be avoided by DIing away in front of Link, though U-smash can still be unavoidable if Link dashes forwards for a frame or two first.

80%: As above.

90%: As above except U-tilt is out of range, dashing forwards then doing U-smash no longer works if Roy DI's away, and Aerial Up-B is now an option.

100%: U-smash is out of range, and FH Nair and Aerial Up-B no longer work. Nothing works.

Beyond, from 120% you may as well start going for FH Uairs. They can be airdodge but then airdodge ends before Roy lands, or Roy can just avoid that situation entirely by DIing the D-throw away. Nothing is guaranteed.

Hey Sethlon Sethlon , do you mind helping me out with the meta game thread? I'd like to fill these empty spaces (more specifically under the "General Theories" section), but I'm not the most knowledgeable Roy player so I don't really want to risk spreading misinformation. Contributing anything new you come up with would also liven it up a bit.
