no, they don't toss their sword in the air and they don't stop spinning until they hit the ground. it's an advanced and powerful technique

If Lucina becomes more like a fast spinny Roy and Dark Pit gets more Uprising gear, their continued inclusion would be worth it. Doc is fine as is because he's Doctor goddamn Mario.

Roy is lucky he got into Melee; otherwise he would be remembered only as "Eliwood's lovely kid from the worst FE GBA game."

you've played the really bad fire emblem game that roy is from; you tell me: does his sword have the power of flame in that game? i doubt it. Roy never belonged in smash.

His sword breaks after you use it 20 times, does that count?

Doctor Mario should at least be reverted back to Melee status when he was a half-decent character.

So shocked someone got me an avatar!
So I always played stock matches, something in time matches kind of confuses me: how does the game determine whether or not something is a fall or a SD? A lot of times I'll see deaths that weren't directly caused by an opponent still result in a point for them.

I'm pretty sure its the last person to have hit you in something like five seconds or until you touch the stage floor again counts as a kill for them, and outside of that its a SD

Roy isn't the oldest of the Koopalings (that is understood to be Ludwig), but he is the strongest and most formidable.

Morton is only the strongest in terms of Strength. Roy is the strongest in a tactical mindset, whereas Ludwig is the strongest in a strategic sense. It couldn't be simpler.

Roy has had 22 singles place on the Billboard Top 40, recorded a 3x platinum album with the Traveling Wilburys, and was inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. He has talents that go beyond Mario villainy.

If Ludwig and Roy cooperated, the brothers Mario would be forced to surrender to such brains and brawn. This is why the Koopalings are always fought individually, to keep the games fair for children.

I got beaten a bunch by a Lucario who just spammed roll and his charge shot thing a bunch, with a couple of running attacks. It was pretty embarrassing. He wasn't even a good player, but for some reason I couldn't shield or punish for poo poo.

It's dumb because I know I should have been able to punish it, it's just obnoxious that I couldn't pull it off for some reason.

the timing on punishing rolls is pretty tight

Who are you playing? Someone fast with a quick up smash like Pikachu or Marth can keep running and up smash where they're going to be at the end of the roll.

No, you're sort of hosed. Either it will stop you in your tracks, or you'll outright get hit by the projectile, most of the time.

Or you can let them roll into you like they probably will and punish with down smash.
