What buffs would you want for Roy?

Further reducing landing lag/end lag on aerials would be great at this point. Down aerial having less lag in general needs to happen imo. Too risky to use when out of the stage unless an enemy is literally grabbing on the ledge.

I agree, he needs combos at mid percent for sure.

Buff Flare Blade to deal more damage, do less damage to roy by using it when fully charged, and it doesn't take as long to charge.

I'm assuming you want more power for uncharged flare blades?Power wise, I think he's fine. You can charge up to 48% without taking recoil damage. What about making it useful for edge guarding? Increasing his hitbox on flareblade to be similar to Ike's would be great for uses near the edge.

I think it would be nice to have his double-edge dance actually slow his fall speed momentum down (the first hit) like melee. /:

I'm joking, but sure. One thing I also dislike is how both Roy and Ike have Neutral Bs that take about the same time to charge, do 10% to the user, but eruption does less damage. Kinda perturbs me.
But yeah, Eruption is a great edgeguarding move, @Munomario777 has made a suggestion for Eruption to meteor smash. I think if Flare Blade had just as large a hitbox as Eruption and also meteor smash the two would be amazing edgeguarding tools.

While I do want to see a few buffs on Roy, mostly Endlag buffs (throws, Jab, though particular Utilt and Dsmash, since Marth got that) But what I really want the most is his recovery fixed up. While increased Vertical and horizontal would be nice, I want them to fix up when his facing away from the ledge. Cause he never grabs the ledge at the apex of the move if he is facing away, even if he is in line with the ledge. It's really annoying and has resulted in many self deaths for me.

Really, the only other thing could be maybe some damage buffs and fair start up reduce, but really, Roy is great how he is.

I personally am happy with Roy as he is, but something i'd love to see: Disjointed hands / arms. it would help alot with aerials especially
