Roy combo set-ups?

[TheMasterHand]

What are some good set-ups with Roy in Melee?

CC D-Tilt and falling U-Air would be your best comboing options. D-Tilt is one of the best combo starters in the game, but Roy's problem is since he gives a pitiful amount of hitstun, he can rarely contintinue the combo into anything significant. CC D-Smash is really good against floaties at mid-high %, so that's another thing to keep in mind.

obviously up throw to stuff on fast fallers, but it only really gets you somewhere vs spacies... you can also do some tech chases with down throw...

 

[Spak]

Yeah, chain grabbing spaces on FD can be useful. Roy doesn't have the nice U-Tilt extender that Marth benefits from, though.

Like the others said, down-tilt, up-throw, and up-air. Sometimes I've been able to use Roy's dash attack to start something, but bear in mind that there's no hitbox on the top half of the sword in the dash attack.

This pretty much makes up 1/3 - 1/2 of the character (Movement is another 1/3 - 1/2, and finishers like Fsmash and neutral b being the last bit).
