There was a video posted on the front page about safe pressure today, I was wondering what are ways Roy can do this? I would assume Nair, dtilt and Jab. What are your thoughts? Finally how can Roy take advantage of this?

Roy has great movement options so those can be used well as a bait and read situation. Plus, it unnerves the opponent and makes them guess what you are going to do next. These movement options can be used with aerials and jab/tilts to apply pressure to the opponent. IMO

Flare Blade has low endlag, which also helps with baiting. Fair is amazing as well, provided you don't whiff.

Dtilt and Nair are the go to moves if you want to apply pressure but make sure you are spacing them well. How you take advantage of this depends on your opponents habits usually if i'm Dtilting their shield they will roll away in which I use DED or Dash attack to punish, make a note of how they respond to your pressure and go from there.

Also keep in mind that some characters have great OoS options to deal with pressure so be careful.
