Zelda vs Roy

To effectively play Zelda against Roy, maintain your distance to capitalize on Din's Fire, which can zone him and punish his approaches. Use your Neutral Special to create pressure and force him to respect your range, while your Up Special can serve as a surprise option to catch him off-guard if he tries to close the gap aggressively. Be mindful of your positioning; staying near ledges can allow you to use Phantom to edgeguard, while also being cautious of Roy's powerful close-range attacks that can quickly close the distance. Utilize your mobility to weave in and out, punishing his overextensions with quick aerials or the occasional F-smash when he’s at kill percent.
