Roy Is Not Our Boy Todoy 😔

[tjoneill]

Lmao even if the trip was synced up the launch angle is still awkward

[coiny]

I'm so sad he isn't our boy todoy 😢

[curtiss]

As a melee marth player, hearing swordies arent supposed to have good grab games honestly shocked me lmao

[GumshoeClassic]

Speaking of bad grab/throw animations, the fact that almost no swordie uses the pommel of their sword for their pummel is a crime.

[seansean]

I feel like in the scerario where these characters realistically grab someone, they would either assassin stab the opponent in the back (like pull them in and use their back as a sheath) possibly then pushing them off of the blade, or push the opponent then stab them in the back. Just feels like how the soldiers would opperate. It could be a kill throw or a crumble, either way I feel like that would make more sense instead of just, "Sword fighter archetype therefore no chance to have a good throw." Like, no one wants to be grabbed by someone with a sharp object because that's when your chances of being stabbed are highest 🗿

[GoiXue-osck]

ironic that marth has some of the best grabs in melee

[cjtherandomizer]

Pretty sure this is why Roy’s hit boxes just didn’t work in Melee. I can’t remember the exact details, but when making Roy, they just made the animations a little bit different but didn’t compensate for the hit boxes making them nonexistent. I’m pretty I got something wrong but same idea.

[xenozora]

In my opinion this also doesn't fit roy's style as a aggresive fighter i know he is suppose to have bad throws but i wouldn't mind if he had a more aggresive animation like maybe when roy does the leg sweep faster just to lead into a quick sword slash or sword handle hit it doesn't have to be a kill throw but just to show that roy is a more aggresive sword fighter than marth

[Mr_Mimestamp]

Love the format! The best comparison I can think of is Alpharad Gold, where it’s almost like a podcast where the discussions are focused on more than the game itself. You and Nick play off of each other well, and it’s cool to just hear you two talk about YouTube! Wouldn’t mind seeing a lot of this!

Roy's not our boy today, but tomorrow he'll be man enough.

[RuneTacticss]

Roy so powerful he threw someone with his mind

[zeckemyro]

Yeah I noticed that when doing hitboxes for them. You can also visibly see it on the visuals with the invincibility turning off before they complete the motion. It's so odd.

[ValomyrsDecree]

AND BACK THROW WOULD BE AN ACTUAL COMBO STARTER IF THE ANIMATION WAS SYNCED

[josephkilker]

Roy seems to have an issue with animations not being adjusted for changed moves, his Melee dash attack was similar

[unfortunaterabbit]

Chrom and Roy aren't tripping their enemies, they're yeeting them with style

[justicewithaperiod]

Even in Melee Roy’s dash attack is delayed. He just can’t catch a break.

[cassiuspeter]

I wonder how long it will take until you can just watch the entire back throw tier list through a series of 80 shorts.

[VerbDoesStuff]

liked and commented for the title alone

[givecamichips]

No no, it's just a call back to Melee where they did this with all his moves.

Never forget Melee Roy's dash attack.

[PotofGlue]

I've always thought this is an intentional nod to the disaster that is melee roy
