Dump ideas for OP roy


All hitboxes have ph1r3 effect for obvious reasons if possible

Up b- can be double jumped out of once, and then used again, greatly improving recovery

Dtilt- set KB and the tipper hit doesn't suck

All arials can be jump canceled

Fair- tipper hit hits upwards and inwards, for pulling opponents in for uair combos and setting up the strong hit dair

Dair- tipper a spike, mid hit is a semi spike, inside hit has KB similar to rest

Uair- more hitstun, tipper is same as middle hit

Bair- tipper hit has inward and upward knockback similar to fair, inside hit is a strong semi-spike

Ftilt- the ftilt in the old melee minus video looks great

Utilt- tipper is a semi-spike that hits behind him at around 20 degrees down from the horizontal

Jab-strong set kb meteor that causes a knockdown

Sweetspots do increased shield damage

Attacks with fire "ignite" opponents and do small damage over time without flinching (basically hitting them with Lip's Stick but replacing the flower graphic with fire)

Double Edge Dance has armor?

Some more ideas since nobody seems to care about the old boy.

Sourspots are at least as strong as Marth's sourspots

Much higher air movement speed

Decreased falling speed to improve his recovery and make him harder to chaingrab

Lower traction to improve his wavedash

Up-B can be angled, to the point of going almost completely horizontal

Counter does twice the original damage instead of 1.5 times

Fully Charged Flare Blade's hitbox covers the whole stage, because why not?

marth's sourspots are just as weak as roy's, you are thinking of the mid hit. the sourspot is where roy's sweetspot is, it's very rarely used with marth, only time I use it is to ken combo floaties at higher percents

No they aren't. The middle of Marth's sword still has some KO potential while Roy's tipper is just worthless. Read Roy's Smashwiki article if you don't believe me.

Roy's counter should spike opponents.
