What to do when someone uses a very punishable ground move.

[CaptainBlund]

My friend plays corrin and luigi and everytime he dash attacks, I have trouble punishing him. Sometimes it's because I'm facing the wrong direction but usually I react badly and just try to grab. What do you think is the optimal punish in these situations

if he is close ti you, then F-Smash.
uncharged it just does 19% and kills at the center of the stage around 60%.
if he is too far for hitting with the sweetspot, use DED.
it's your best spacing tool.

Any fast move should work. also if you are not in kill % of fsmash going for something like a jab to start a combo is probably a better idea. ofcourse unless you do it quickly enough this won't work if you're facing the wrong way.

Try running/hopping into their range, making the most of Roy's mobility during dash attack's endlag, then short hop fast fall nair or use a grab/pivot grab. You can combo from nair or fthrow into more moves to maximize the punish. Fsmash is also beefy, and 19/17's worth weighing against your other punish options even if it stales fsmash a bit.
