Mario vs Roy
Matchup Tips and Strategies
In the matchup against Roy, Mario's close-range combat skills can shine, as Roy's sweet spots on his sword encourage him to engage up close. Use Mario’s quick aerials and combo potential to pressure Roy when he tries to close the gap, especially utilizing moves like Nair and Up Smash to punish his landings. Be cautious of Roy's fast moves, particularly his neutral and forward specials, but maintain your aggression since you want to keep the fight in Mario's preferred range. Positioning yourself near the edge can also set up for effective edge-guarding, where Mario's cape and fireball can disrupt Roy's recovery options.
