~Gameplay~
As a Roy player you want to focus on creating opportunities to gain stage control by limiting your opponents options. Once you accomplish your opponent will begin to slip up and you can punish hard with your excellent ground speed, smash attacks, tilts, etc. Methods to create pressure is tomahawk grabs and jabs.He has a very good grab combo at VERY low percents (0-10ish) with d-throw up-b, D-throw> u-air at higher percents, d-throw>jab at mid-percents, and d-throw>Up-tilt it mid-percents. He can also use running f-throws into dash attack to transfer momentum and gain stage control. In the neutral you would probably want to use d-tilts, n-airs, f-airs, and neutral b due to all of the moves listed having low ending lag. Your goal is to create a wall and push them to the corner and put them into option select. Roy has a plethora or combos and tech chases. You can't do that over and over because mixups are necessary so if you need to cover spot dodges or rolls you can use side-b and grabs as well as pivot-tilts. However Roy NEEDS reads to kill the opponent which is unfortunate, but his powerful tools and options make him a great character. IMO he is around top 25.
