Tips for Roy

    A skilled Roy can beat any Marth.
    Master the Jab > Bair combo, it is your most reliable kill option
    Do not always land with aerials. Your sweet spot is at the hilt and will be easily countered by shield > grab. Once the opponent is conditioned to shield, land with grab. Then mixup.
    Never stop moving. Do no approach with shield or grab. Pressure shields with jabs and down tilt. Bait and punish with Flare Blade.
    When an opponent is shielding, stagger when you click the attacks of his side B to either make opponent drop shield, or be able to make an escape
