that's how I work.

EDIT: I also hate Roy in this game because a lot of his moves are safe and he is so damn powerful. He is a character that I think should be nerfed considerably.

YOU PLAY LUIGI! >_>

Like, Roy is not that hard to figure out. But of all people, a Luigi main complaining about moves being 'safe and powerful' is hysterical.

 

[Soul.]

Roy's only safe moves, to my knowledge, are down tilt and NAir. Everything else seems to not be safe.
At least down tilt is a good poke. Nyehhhh

I understand that you don't like Luigi, but don't insult me over it.
I play as him because he is my favorite video game character, not to freaking win.

This is why I am so iffy on entering a tournament. Stuff like this is honestly discouraging.

 

[Zantetsugun]

This is savage.

This is the most beautifully vicious thing I've ever read. Bravo to Comic Book Resources.

I had somebody draw my re-design of Ridley from the Metroid series. This is how it turned out:

It's supposed to fit the style of Pacific Rim in case you were wondering.

Artist is this guy right here: http://snake151.deviantart.com/

Das pretty sweet!

I think we can sum up that Pixels movie with an Angry Video Game Nerd quote but most of what the AVGN says would have to be censored, so I'll quote one of his tamer lines.

"WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!"

Clearly they were trying to copy the success of Wreck-It-Ralph, but ended up with something more along the lines of the Super Mario Bros. Movie.

I'm sorry that was out of line. At least the Super Mario Bros. Movie is a little entertaining (even if for all the wrong reasons).

I dunno, maybe I am imagining things.

I just expect side smash to have some endlag and it doesn't. I died kinda early from it, too.

My friends call Luigi's down-b "The Priority 'Nado"~

He was joking, dear.

Incidentally, Roy is extremely dangerous if you aren't prepared. You have to fight him very differently to how you'd fight any other swordfighter - including Swordfighter.

His fsmash is really dumb when sweetspotted. Perhaps just wait and punish? At the very least, your shield will be pushed back thanks to the move's dumb power. I know nothing about Roy other than him not having a lot of safe moves that aren't down tilt and NAir, and his "somewhat" reliance on grabs.

 

[Raziek]

No no, I wasn't joking, but he also misunderstood my point.

I have nothing against Luigi players. What I find hilarious is the fact that he is not only complaining about a weaker character than his own, but is complaining for the same reasons others commonly complain about Luigi himself.

It'd be like if I played Brawl MK and complained about Marth having too much range/being too safe.

It's the irony of it that I find funny.

Yeah, I getcha. When I said you were joking, I meant you intended it humorously and without rancour.

At least that's how I interpreted it.

Speaking of which, would you be able to body match me sometime? I've wanted to get bodied by play you for a while now. An honest smackdown will do me the world of good~

Anyone else that wants to play, Timid's at work for the next few hours, so I'm available~

 

[Matsushi]

Roy may be incredibly strong, his f-smash killing certain characters at approximately 50% when sweetspotted whilst in the middle of the stage. That said, I don't think Roy should be nerfed, and I disagree with the people who do claim that Roy is OP. He has a rather difficult time approaching in my opinion, thus he becomes incredibly weak against characters who rely on projectiles. Also, his up-b recovery is really predictable. He does have some defined weakness', hence why I believe he shouldn't be nerfed. He simply has a different way of things in which you need to learn in order to deal with him.

This is why I am so iffy on entering a tournament. Stuff like this is honestly discouraging.

Aw, nothing should ever deter you from entering a tournament, honestly! Not only are you an extremely good player, (I've seen with my own eyes, son), things like this really shouldn't stop you or make you feel "iffy" about entering a tournament. Also, tournaments are supposed to help you get better if you are having trouble with particular matchups!

 

[Raziek]

Ah, yes, you're correct, then.

I'm in the bath right now, but could play in 1.5-2 hours depending on how long I feel like soaking in these Epsom salts while playing Fates.

 

[Wintropy]

I play the best Roy in our region (possibly in the country) on a near-daily basis.

I'm used to his shenanigans.

Spoiler

Roy is a jerk.

Be very very very very afraid of Roy.

@ smokebomb12
I apologize for my attitude. If you like, we can play again in the future.

I guess that makes sense.

I know nothing about Roy other than him not having a lot of safe moves that aren't down tilt and NAir, and his "somewhat" reliance on grabs.

His neutral attack is stupid because it's very good with spacing. I know some Luigis who have cited problems with that move in particular.
Roy is one of those characters that gives me trouble constantly.

My main fear is that I don't want to be mocked for being a Luigi player.

Also, I find Luigi to be overrated. Top 5 is hilarious when he has some very, very exploitable weaknesses (predictable and gimpable recovery, poor traction, and limited approach tools).

 

[Wintropy]

Well I mean I play Palutena in tournaments.

Soooo...~ :3

 

[smokebomb12]

Anyone want to play?

 

[Moydow]

I play the best Roy in our region (possibly in the country) on a near-daily basis.

I was wondering why it said "Player 2" when I thought I was playing against CPUs

joking of course, my Roy is not that great yet. Feeling pretty confident about my Marth at the moment though, and been putting in a decent bit of work with ZSS as well lately. I might actually win the first game I play tomorrow!

 

[Milo AKA Papa]

I play Palutena

You're a brave soul

Ha ha ha ha!

I don't get it~ :3

I have no real evidence that he's the best Roy in the country obvs. I'm just showboating. He's the only competent Roy I've ever seen in an Irish tourney, mind you. That's gotta be worth something.

I don't think he'll be going to Celtic Throwdown, alas. He has other commitments with the womenfolk.

Ha.

Women.

Here's the thing right

I absolutely despise when people are condemned or ridiculed for using a certain character. Seriously, I think it's the most shallow, immature thing someone could ever do. Sure, it may have been annoying to see everyone use Diddy Kong before the patch, or currently seeing countless Sheik mains. But in all honesty, if a certain character clicks for you, use the character. I can see from your list of mains that you've stayed loyal to Luigi since 64, which is something I find quite heart warming.

You really shouldn't be scared that you're gonna be "mocked" for being a Luigi player, even though I don't think anyone would do so. I know nothing about Luigi in general so I can't really have my input on his strengths, weakness', whether he should be in top 5 etc, but if you play as Luigi, that's fine.

Neutral attack... jab? That thing has almost no cooldown; I think you're right on spacing.
He's a fast faller, right? Well, doesn't Luigi like destroying them with his combos? He has Fireballs, too; iirc they are +1 or +2 on shield, I'm not sure. They also seem to have low cooldown.

 

[smokebomb12]

@XenoBrawler610 I am still willing to play.

I will play Luigi if you play Link?

 

[Moydow]

Ha ha ha ha!

I don't get it~ :3

You said you play against the best Roy in the country on a daily basis, so that'd mean you were playing against me, no (hence "player 2")?

Of course, I don't actually think I'm the best Roy player in the country, which is why I pointed out that it was a joke.

Ha! You two have to fight sometime.

It'd be like watching two tomcats hack at each-other with giant fiery swords~

why is this not an anime

somebody make this into an anime

Incidentally, Roy is extremely dangerous if you aren't prepared. You have to fight him very differently to how you'd fight any other swordfighter - including Swordfighter.

even then Swordfighter plays entirely different from all the other Swordfighters
every other Swordfighter (even Roy) spaces with aerials/tilts and gets rewarded for proper poking
Mii Swordfighter realized that he lacks the proper tools to actually space out besides jabs and down tilt and instead decides to just set up a variety of ways to shank you with up air until you die like this is a Sword weiler with legit good throws (granted Ike has amazing throws and Links down throw is good for a sword weilder) and comboes

Yeah... his jab.
The spacing on that move, and the quickness of it, prevents us from rushing in and grabbing him. It's partially why it's a tricky MU.
We do destroy Roy when we grab him because he is heavy, but Roy does have many means of dealing with us.

@XenoBrawler610 I am still willing to play.

Thank you for the offer, but I will consider fighting you tomorrow.
I need to cool down. (also, I suck as Link, but I will try)

Luigi is my favorite video game character. He's my childhood hero. When I was growing up, I looked up to Luigi and I related with him, especially when I am the youngest in my family (and I think that I am a bit overshadowed). So, Luigi has always stuck with me. Whether it's Mario Kart, Tennis, Golf, Party, and Smash Bros., I always play as him.
If he gets nerfed in the next patch or game, fine. I will still play him. I've just been having those fears lately.

 

[smokebomb12]

anyone want to play?......I'm right... I'm right here. anyone? Its so lonely...7 brothers....4 sisters. Anyone?

Speaking of Luigi, I think it's really funny, ironic, and really nice to see that in most games Luigi is just a better overall character than Mario stat wise

Luigi is a annoying character to deal with.

That's quite adorable! It's always lovely to find a character in which you can relate with so much. Rhys from Tales from the Borderlands is a prime example of that for me!

On the subject of you feeling a bit overshadowed, I can certainly relate. Well, I could relate. Very recently, it had occurred to me that the whole thought of myself being overshadowed, not being as good as my older siblings and generally feeling like a lesser person than them was all a psychological thing. You're just as good as the rest of your family, I'm sure! c:

@ smokebomb12

Ooooh snap, your avi is awesome.

Now I have the sudden temptation to watch the anime from the beginning~

 

[Nah]

I just find Roy's movement speed slightly annoying. Idk why he's gotta be able to move that fast.

Roy may be incredibly strong, his f-smash killing certain characters at approximately 50% when sweetspotted whilst in the middle of the stage.

Can it really kill that early? I've been killed pretty early by his Fsmash but never at 50% center stage.....


@ smokebomb12 you have a hella big family if you have 7 brothers and 4 sisters

I really do. we have to split up during school months.

@ Matsushi ...I was about to change it.

Here what should it be.

 

[Moydow]

for what it's worth, Marth's tipper f-smash actually kills earlier than Roy's sweetspot f-smash. Only reason Marth's doesn't get as much flak is because it's harder to land (and because Marth is seen as "bad" otherwise, as if his f-smash is the only thing he has going for him).

I remember killing a poor Meta Knight at the center of the stage whilst he was roughly at 50%. That said, I think it was a semi-charged f-smash in addition with poor DI, but it was still quite diabolical.

tfw you get jab 1 to tipper f-smash

Anyway, I really couldn't agree more! Marth's tipper f-smash is extreme, and that jab 1 buff he received makes him even more terrifying.

I really do. we have to split up during school months.

I relate to some other characters like Shulk and Robin, but Luigi has always been that character that I relate to the most.

It's not really family related. In some other aspects... I just feel a bit overshadowed.
