King K. Rool vs Roy

When playing King K. Rool against Roy, leverage your strong zoning tools like the Blunderbuss and Crown to keep him at bay, as his close-range attacks can be punishing. Utilize your armor on your forward smash and side special to absorb some of Roy's sword swings, allowing you to trade effectively. Be mindful of your positioning; try to maintain stage control and avoid getting cornered, as Roy excels in punishing with his quick aerials and potent edge-guarding. If you can bait out Roy’s aggressive approaches, you can punish with your heavy hits and take advantage of his limited recovery options.
