I've been wondering this for a few days and all I can remember reading here that rolling isn't a good idea. Are their any specific situations where you should roll or it isn't a bad idea?

this is a pretty important point, how much utility rolling will have for you is going to vary depending on your character, MK for instance should use his roll significantly more than marth. note the difference between your characters front and back rolls too, front rolls tend to be less useful unless you have a really good one like MK or lucario'sAll top players roll A TON. Especially Diddy's, Mk's, Lucario's, and other characters.
^^^This^^^Usually it's rolling towards your opponent which is the bad idea. Rolling away is usually fairly legit...
This, nothing more or less.Just don't use roll too much. It's good for getting out the line of attack, but the problem is sometimes people tend to roll into the line of attack and get punished for it.
This.you use a roll in anticipation of an attack that you can therefore position yourself in a situation to your advantage. A roll however should be used deliberately rather than on reaction.
When you're on fire.Are their any specific situations where you should roll or it isn't a bad idea?
I used to do that a lot in Ike's case. I'd end up thinking too much and being in a wrong position, I roll right in their fsmash. I really sucked back then.Make sure you don't roll into Luigi or Ike's Fsmash
^^thisIf you use TL, then never.
fixedAt after-parties duhhhh. Rolling at raves is predictable and will get you punished
Rolling when close to the edge is bad and predictable though.Pretty much everything said above.
Rolling should primarily be away to escape situations rather than as a means to approach.
