Roy vs Young Link

In the matchup against Young Link, Roy should focus on maintaining mid-range positioning to exploit Young Link's limited aerial coverage, especially when he throws his boomerang. Use platforms to your advantage to maneuver over his projectiles, allowing you to close the gap without risking your double jump. Once you're in close, utilize Roy's powerful combo potential with moves like his jab and down tilt to pressure Young Link, while being mindful of his bombs and arrows. If you can land a well-timed forward smash or a neutral special, you can quickly turn the tide in your favor, especially since Young Link struggles against strong melee pressure.

Tips for Roy vs Young Link

  • YL has a blind spot that his boomerang can’t cover bc he can only angle it so high. Stay mid-range, and use platforms to help you get over it without burning your double jump to punish.
