Roy vs Squirtle
Matchup Tips and Strategies
When playing Roy against Squirtle, capitalize on your strong close-range combat and the power of your counter to punish Squirtle's aggressive side B, especially near the ledge where you can secure early kills. Use your quick dash attacks and aerials to pressure Squirtle, forcing him into defensive positions where your sword can dominate. Be mindful of Squirtle's agility and water-based moves; try to bait out his options and then respond with your powerful forward smash or down tilt to catch him off guard. Maintaining stage control will allow you to limit his mobility and set up for effective edge-guarding opportunities.
