How to Play Roy in Smash Bros Ultimate 

I kinda wanted to hear that best player in smash 4 flex at the beginning lol

Smash Players: "Ultimate has no Combos" Roy: "Hold my Beer"

who is this guy and what are his credentials? so confused rn

Roy got the biggest buff in his voice. Good LORD.

Will he do these character guides for every character? I would like that

i wanted to play world of light with roy........thanks sakurai for putting him near the end

It's quite a shock that Roy's no longer Marth's echo fighter. Now Chrom is Roy's echo fighter.

ROY’S OUR BOY! ROY’S OUR BOY! ROY’S OUR BOY!

When you're best character from Smash 4 becomes a potensial top tier

I would really appreciate if you made a more advanced tech guide. Dash dances, wave dashing, "perfect" controller layout, how to DI, how to land, tech chases and how to tech correctly (what options to choose) and so on

This is coming from a Roy main from Sm4sh. Basic summarization of his strengths -fast. Has good air and ground speed. -strong. Ftilt, Bair, Fair, Fsmash, Dsmash, Usmash, Flare blade (important) and Up b are some notable kill moves, and even Nair can kill -has combos. Nair strings and Dthrow combos in this game give him good, good damage. -Fast, strong tilts. Utilt kills quite early, but Jab and Dtilt are both very fast, with Jab setting up combos Weaknesses -gets comboed a lot. He’s a fast faller, he can’t help it -Can sometimes struggle with projectile spam -Can kinda have some difficulty landing, not that bad though Recovery is much better than people say it is. But don’t get careless with it.

Wait... is that Fire Emblem Binding Blade music I hear in the background. ZeRo are you making a Roy video and using music FROM HIS GAME?!?! I honestly can't remember the last time I've seen a guide do that... You just made my day! PRAISE OUR BOY

I love how Roy's sword arm becomes invulnerable during up smash, it's actually a really strong anti-air option

"I feel like Roy could be the best swordsman in the game" Where have I heard that before?

Roy being buffed in ultimate makes me so happy I love playing Roy in smash 4

Roy’s pretty good but I like Subscribe better

Go to voice options and listen to Roy:Voice 14. *screams into an abyss*

As a loyal Roy main in Smash 4, and a big fan of him as far back as Melee, it makes me happy beyond words to see his potential so amazingly realized with this iteration of the character. I can't wait to play him more in Ultimate, and really push him to his limits

I love Roy, you can pretty much combo anything and get really creative with it. I like grab>down throw>tap neutral special>forward special ending with upward slash>up special>dash into a jab>forward smash.

everyones saying *ROY'S OUR BOY!* Meanwhile I'm like *WE LIKE IKE!*

Thank you, Zero, for using background music that's actually from Sealed Sword.

I am kinda sad that zero left I hope his therapy goes well and I hope he comes back

*”Roy’s our Boy!”* he would be, but the melee->sm4sh glow up says otherwise

I main Roy and I never see anyone else use the blade dance that ends with you knocking them up into the air. I have found a bunch of interesting combos especially on heavy characters.

ROY IS THE BOY ❤❤❤❤

28 people think Roy is still only a boy

From low tear in Melee to one of the best characters in smash, feels good being a Roy main

Roy has been my main since Melee, I'm so happy my boy is getting recognition!

How To Play Roy: *SPAM SIDE B*

Oh, I thought this was for the Koopaling Roy

Roy's ftilt is actually one of the few moves in smash that can function straight as an anti air because the hitbox starts uptop in front of him. While uptilt is better if you are underneath them. It can beat out or trade with fairs and other moves more easily on reaction than marth or lucina that require you to throw out the move earlier. At least thats what I liked about it

I have been maining Roy since sm4sh, which isn't a lot of time but it's enough to see that his speed has increased notably and that makes him pretty good. Also, I now can combo normal-heavy weight from 0% to ≈60%

Roy from Roy

How to play Snake next?

I miss these types of videos

Meanwhile in online roy mashing every button on the controller at one and hoping an attack comes out

Think it's possible to do one on Corrin? I know some changes came, and I'd like to see your opinion on them, and the best way to play them now.

should have just said spam aireals

...is that "Beneath a New Light" I hear in the background? ZeRo, I fucking love you.

it just sounded funny when he said, ''and if you're not ready for it, you're dead - and that's very dangerous'' at 5:11

Literally every character he has covered so far has been someone I've been interested in maining (except Pichu, lol)

Can you include your on GC controller input display (like your streams) for these videos? would be helpful to see what and when you input certain things to try and replicate combos

Zero has done this videos on pichu, link, and now Roy. Literally my 3 mains

you should turn that "best smash 4 player in the world" flex into your official greeting. In all aspects of your life...

How to Shulk!

Is Chrom not like Roy but a little bit better?

In irl my name is roy

Roy was one of my mains in smash 4, glad to see he's a lot better.

You didn’t flex though

Marth

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE BACKGROUND MUSIC BEST MAP THEME IN THE ENTIRE SERIES YO.

I know a lot of people can get a bit pissy about people dick riding ZeRo but the dude’s entertaining to watch, very informative, has outstanding fundamentals and makes a shit tonne of content and tutorial videos for us to enjoy. It’s very easy to see why people enjoy watching him whether you like him or not.

JUST WHAT I NEEDED

Corrin next please

I play Roy, Palutena, and Little Mac. They’re surprisingly beginner friendly and, at least with the first two, chock-full of mileage in terms of high-level viability.

keep in mind for dancing blade, forward forward up forward does more knockback so its a better kill option

You're not supposed to tell everyone ZeRo!

yes this music

TheGamer: omg he is so good with roy

Roy/Chrom is a blast to play as.

Chrom, Chrom, he’s our man, If you don’t cover him N o O n e C a n

I still prefer chrom oddly enougg

Mained Roy in smash 4 and I’m overly happy he’s easily A tier

Now that’s a buff boi. His juggling must be terrifying I once someone masters Roy.

2:40 wHoAh

How to play Roy? Easy, *-Neutral Air-* Play Chrom.

ROY'S OUR BOY ROY'S OUR BOY ROY'S OUR BOY ROY'S OUR BOY *ROY'S OUR BOY* *ROY'S OUR BOY* *ROY'S OUR BOY*

I am disappointed that this isn't 10 minutes of roy side b

PLEASE DO SHULK

Whoa now ZeRo u have “How To” in your title it’s clear u are copying someone because that someone owns those words

love the OG binding blade music

'Beneath a new light' in the background. Good taste.

Where is my high level young link gameplay?

Fk Nintendo am I the only one who struggled against Roy in smash 4

Hey zero I love the guides. It lets me understand what moves characters have and which ones I should expect even if I’m not playing the character in the guide. That being said it would also be very beneficial as a viewer if you also could mention what is good against the character. It allows the person playing Roy, in this case, to know what will be exploited on them as well as helping us to know how to exploit the character we don’t intend to play.

Correction Blazzer CAN kill and is a very great kill option and a great out of shield option, and it also has super armor at startup

Why should I listen to you what are your credentials ?????? Hmmm

Please do WiiFit trainer !!! I've never really worked out how to play her!1

Grounded Up-B can be a useful kill move as well

As a Roy main I think his (whichever you want they all work if you use them right) aerial to jab should be his go to combo starter and combo extender at low percents

Wow zero, just gonna blatantly rip off weegee like that???

I love freestyle characters and I have a special connection with Roy, so I am so hyped to start giving him a try!

i really like characters that can juggle well and that have good strings of attacks, i have never played roy so i hope that when i eventually play the game i like roy since he is good at both of the points covered above.

Roy feels really great to play this time around, they did him justice

As a player of Roy since Melee, I wanted to get a refresher on Roy. For me, this video helped in that respect and understanding how he has changed. Unfortunately this guide does not cover any of his key characteristics. For any new player that is thinking of using Roy, here are some of the core mechanics missed in this video. 1. Roy's neutral special can be charged and can kill at 0 when near the edge, you can also change the direction of it simply by pressing left or right while you are charging and can also be charged/change direction in the air. Be careful, charging all the way if hitting someone or not does damage to Roy. 2. Roy's up special can be changed in direction somewhat, if you use the up special, try changing its direction with the analog stick so that you can change the path you take. 3. VERY IMPORTANT: Roy's attacks do less damage and less knockback when it is near the tip of the blade, and does significantly more damage and knockback near the hilt.

You apploaded this video the day i bought smash ultimate😁

Roy is one of my mains alongside Ken so this video actually helps me a lot thanks dude !

I found that you can hit the first hit of nair, jab, back air (with attack cancelling), and some times still regrab. I tried it on ness and it worked. Of coarse after the grab you can start a down throw combo

In SSB4 you could true combo f-throw to n-air. It seems like you actually still could based on the range.

This is definitely the best Roy's ever been. He's got a ton of overall utility. Nairs for days.

Also, Roy's sword does less damage at the tip and more damage closer to the hilt. This actually makes Roy feel more realistic since in real life swords do more damage at the hilt and less at the tip. This is because the hilt has more mass to be used for bludgeoning and keeping the sword balanced, while the tip is used for precise cutting attacks.

*roy's our boy*

Some combo starters include: neutral air, jab, up tilt, and down throw

His biggest buff is his new Voice cause hot damb Ray does such a good job

Hey, thanks Zero! I was just looking for a How to play Roy video! Roy’s my main too!

Thank you Zero. I just decided to main Roy today so this was very helpful for me.

Turned into a Roy Main on New Year's Eve, the man is way too fun too play

As someone who mained Roy in SSB4, it's great to see him buffed for this game.

ROY IS OUR BOY! ROY IS OUR BOY! ROY IS OUR BOY!

I'd also like to hear what the counters to every character are and how to deal with them
