Hey, can someone give me the highlights of Sony's conference?
Any news on a PSASBR sequel?

Also hilariously Marth gets outranged by Roy. Roy is already higher tier than Marth and this just kicks him in the nuts even more.

Fun tips for you guys that play Roy:

If you sweet spot his jab it will hold his target close to him for a follow up of your choosing:
a second jab + Fsmash/Ftilt/Uptilt/up b

and down throw to up b is a true combo when used on an opponent at 0% through about 50% same thing for up tilt.

Also when the opponent is at higher % and you both are below a platform then down throw will flop them onto the platform giving you the chance to up smash them.

Have fun!
I spent about and hour and a half with Roy in training yesterday and figured all of this out.
It was fun to experiment with him!
My favorite jab follow up is Ftilt. Up tilt sometimes doesn't have enough range, and Fsmash is sometimes too slow.
I find that FTilt works the most consistently.

I've also seen D-throw to Upsmash when the opponent has bad DI.
And D-throw to Uptilt.

I love Roy's side and Up Smashes. They are SO fun too use!
Roy just feels like the right character for me.

Double edged dance is a fun move as well.

Also, using a fully charged Flare blade successfully is one of the best feelings ever.

I like his counter sound. It's cool that they made it different.
I think his dizzy animation is still the same as Marth's though.

Back air is like, the best thing ever.
Back throw is like, the worst thing ever.

Not as far as I know.

But, more Ratchet and Clank remake. Birdie and Cammy are in Street Fighter 5. More No Man's Sky.

Shemue 3 Kickstarter that's doing insanely well right now. Final Fantasy 7 HD remake.

Roy is like John Cena. Cause his is time is now!

EDIT: Double post. My mistake.

That moment when your best friend completely ignores your birthday.

At least E3 was pretty good. And I am soooo excited for Nintendo. Only 12 hours away

I'm sad now.

I just found out that #endfathersday is trending on Twitter.

It's a feminist movement to end Father's Day, because so many fathers abuse their daughters every day and don't deserve one day to honor their hard work, unlike women who should totally have Mother's Day because that's not hypocritical.

They're also trending #givewomenmoney, a movement that pushes men to literally give women money for no reason whatsoever.


These are my least favorite kind of people.
I heard the feminists are friends with PETA. :4pacman:

Does Marth have anything on Roy?
Nope, Roy has combos, lots of kill set ups, jab follow ups, up b shenanigans, easier to land sweet spots and less landing lag. Roy's sweet spot hits kill just about as effectively as Marth's tippers.

I love the way Roy holds his sword.
Reverse grip works well on him.

Also, I've been meaning to ask...
Does anyone know why Roy's trailer had him Spot dodging one of Isabelle's apples?
I didn't get that.

Imagine the apples are dragons with skulls attached on their body. :4pacman:

Maybe a character quirk that Roy does not like apples or they were trying to make it seem like Isabelle was trying to fight too.

The Last Guardian is alive. The game that the developers of Ico and Shadows of the Colossus is finally alive! I was never interested in their games, but man, fans have been waiting for this. MGSV, Dishonored 2, World of Final Fantasy, Earthbound Beginnings, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Mirror's Edge: Catalyst, and more. So many games!

M-My brain cells... I'm losing them....

Seriously, why do they want to end it? Humans these days are extremely dumb. Well, a few can't be.

Though seriously, they probably just wanted to show Roy being cool or something.

I've heard that Roy is really good.
Fixed to better reflect the state of Roy.
Funny how things work out. Roy was bottom tier in Melee and Marth is one of the best characters, now Roy is shooting for the top tiers in Smash 4 and Marth is sitting around middle-low tier.

I played Ryu so hard that I somehow injured one of my fingers for holding the 3DS in a odd way, but still it was pure fun

Tomorrow I'll test :4feroy: all day

In FE: Binding Blade, Roy gets into a bitter feud with Steve Jobs, and vows to never use Apple products again.

I believe it's a reference to that.

Did even he go back to using Apple products again? After the unfortunate thing that happened to Jobs in October 2011??

I still feel bad for him.

I found the ultimate Roy disrespect.
After winning a couple of rounds in a row with :4feroy:, switch to :4roy:.

Won my match against the first Ryu player I met. One of my K.O's was even a Mega Upper. :4megaman:

I think Pellets will do pretty good against Focus attacks.
