Roy (SSB4): Difference between revisions

To answer Archrelico's down throw question, these combos are only true on low weight characters and a few mid weight ones.
(→‎Inactive: Not sure if how I worded it is correct, but Ryo really progressed his metagame and showed it during Super Smash Con.)

|dthrowdesc=A one-armed body slam. Aesthetically, it appears almost identical to forward throw, with its only difference being a shockwave effect to indicate the opponent hitting the ground. Mechanically, it functions much differently, as it launches the opponent directly above Roy and is a [[true combo]] into Blazer on most characters up to medium percents. Additionally, its low base knockback and low knockback growth allow it to combo into neutral attack, up tilt and forward tilt at low percents, with the neutral attack combo allowing for the possibility of chaining into another grab if the opponent does not react in time. However, its low hitstun makes it unreliable past low percents, although it still has true combo potential into forward or up aerials with enough rage.
