I was right in the middle of the animation. About half a second after activation.Some characters have weird hit boxes on there counters, however, are you sure the counter was active? The reason I say this is because Marth's counter activates frame 5 while Roy's counter activates on frame 8 making his different then most counters. @EyexSore
Interesting... I have noticed sometimes that I will get hit from below, ROB's Usmash, but I thought my timing was off...
Standard b is pretty safe, and neutral air is also a good option. Combo throw is Dthrow, which has many follow-ups. And prominent kill moves are fair, Ftilt, fsmash, Usmash and Bair. There is a lot more advice I could give but I am tired, might edit this later...
Roy suffers vs characters like Olimar and characters with disjoints of similar or greater size as his. So Ike and sometimes even Marth for example can give Roy some problems. Roy is great vs characters like Fox, Ness, Captain Falcon etc. I would say someone like Captain Falcon, Sonic or (ofc) Sheik would be good companion characters to Roy.
His flare blade one shots, KB doesn't matter at that stage
IMO I would ban flat stages, platforms would help mix up your landings
it's still in. buffer fair as you short hop then buffer any action (usually its jump) and voila.
These are all great! I need to be using Blazer more.
From what I've heard it's guaranteed at certain percents so sometimes it's inescapable.
that's a bummer, do you know if we can jump out of it?
If we're still talking about the cargo throw into U-air no.
dthrow > nair/fair works really well on floaties from my experience. fthrow > nair is also really good.
no, only grounded blazer has super armour frames 4-9
From the skype group's document, here is a list of tested combos (been a while since it was last updated, but oh well). No DI, training mode combos, tested on default mii brawler. Still, I get mileage out of a lot of these, so it's a good place to start.
If you're sure he'll try to grab you then you should throw out an attack like Nair or SideB in the air, but if you don't want to attack then you can shift your aerial momentum with a B-reversed Flare Blade (Neutral B).
I used to play Pit before Roy came out. ^_^ I would say the biggest advantage to playing Pit is that he doesn't have any truly polar MUs: while he doesn't excel at anything, he doesn't have any glaring weaknesses besides KO power for your opponents to exploit. Even so, the characters you would want a potential secondary to cover for Pit would be characters that Pit is at a disadvantage against; characters like Sheik and Dedede, both of which Roy also struggles with, and the MUs are probably harder as Roy than they would be if you just stuck with Pit, tbh. If you really want a secondary to practice, I would say analyze your playstyle, and find which characters you struggle against with Pit, and what aspects of your gameplay you want to improve, and pick a character that'll cover that. Common choices might include Roy (our Boy), Fox, Sheik, and Mario. You could also just pick up a character because you like playing as them, that's always a valid reason. In which case, Roy is definitely your Boy. ^_^
This playlist was posted on the video thread just recently, it's a list of Roys that have played in tournament recently. Hope that helps.
