Awesome guide! I like how you cover all the uses for each move, and actually go into depth about his recovery. I prefer using Flare Blade for general mayhem purposes.

Great guide for roy. I noticed you said you couldn't find a decent use for flare blade. what works a lot for me is using it as a bait since it has such little endlag. throw it out and when they rush in BAM fsmash for the kill. this works well but it definitely depends on who you're playing against.

Great guide, dude! Love it! Do you know how to put the ''toggle Spoiler'' icon in the guide? I want to put it, but I don't know how!

Thanks, just put "*spoiler* (text) */spoiler*" but replace the stars with brackets.

Thanks for the read. I'm a new smasher and learning the ropes with things like this has been very helpful. I'll be trying to implement your bair edge guarding tips tonight. You mentioned that you need to be careful when countering from below, and I would add that (at least in my limited experience) doing it from above is dangerous as well. LOVE to catch greedy edge guarders with it though (even if it can be a little dangerous :P)

Thank you for the review! New smashers like you are the reason I decided to write this guide.

Amazing guide! I like how you know Roy's aerials have a lot of lag and that you explain how to use them properly.

Thanks! I used to think that his Fair was gonna be Marth levels of good with the lag. I was wrong. Thankfully I played a good amount of Our Boy before writing this.

Well thank you! Even though he's a sub for me, I use him more than my main (Ryu) because he's just so fun to play. Gonna do some heavy Roy play tomorrow and get some progress on the guide as a result.

This is a very great guide even if it isn't completely finished. This will definitely help my roy game.
