Ginger did the calmest most polite and respectful rage quit I’ve ever seen.

[@queuedjar4578]

8:30 to clarify this interaction, DTM did actually get the correct hitbox of reverse up B (the first hitbox is the one that kills puff), though it's a hitbox with set knockback, meaning that at any percent, this move won't actually kill puff on battlefield off the floor (barring some very bad DI). The percentage is completely irrelevant, even at 999% the reverse up B still sends puff at the same height. It will only kill off the floor at 0% on stages with low ceilings (FD, Yoshi's, Stadium).

When you were explaining the reverse up-b, zain did hit the right hit of it. It's just that the kill only works on stages with lower ceilings, particularly yoshi story and pokemon stadium.

[@OhSoSnake]

But with more % racked up, the kill potential DOES return: on medium stages, I'd wager that Roy UpB starts to kill around 20-30%, and maybe at like 50% on Dreamland and Fountain, but yeh.

This, to me, isn’t just a message to Roy mains, but to low tier players everywhere. Melee is one of the more tier heavy fighting games I know of, and seeing a near bottom tier take home a hard fought victory against both top tiers and bad matchups is such a strong message of “low tier doesn’t mean shit if you don’t let it”

[@tigerwarrior1787]

This message should have always been clear since H-Box took championships with Jigglypuff.

​@Rayzuke I feel like people forgot that jigglypuff used to be rated way lower.

[@rayzuke1232]

@@FFKonoko For real. Only H-Box manages it to get into the top 10 with Jigglypuff consistently . No one else displayed that amount skill. But now seemingly no one seems to acknowledge that Jigglipuff is a low Tier character even when said character has only 2 viable moves as oppose to half of the moveset to be viable.

[@Alexrun902]

Zain's truly earned the title of best player in the world since he's able to dominate tournaments with his Marth and be a low tier legend with Roy at the same time.

[@aicunix]

i think that this is a testament to the fact that the most important skill of melee is not wave-shining or being frame perfect. it's being able to adapt

[@VestedUTuber]

I'm not surprised that this happened. Roy always felt like a character who could have been good, but was held back by just three significant issues - particularly, his questionable recovery, combo bait fast fall and his terrible range. If you ignore that he's basically just a rushdown-focused version of Marth. It takes a lot of effort, but if you can get around his flaws Roy _can_ be pretty solid, it's just that the difficulty of working around those flaws is the problem.

[@Appletank8]

I feel like the devs forgot to give Roy an actual sweet spot around his hand, it’s just not a sour spot. It’s so sad seeing that pool noodle of a sword get aerials that barely stun or knock back.

[@Bigzthegreat]

nah this is fox coppeium, because he played such a bad character he just got better

[@VestedUTuber]

@@Bigzthegreat Right, because obviously top tiers are "just good" and bottom tiers are "just bad", no other reason for it. Dumbass.

I disagree. the one thing no one has commented on is the caliber of players in this tournament. U switch ginger with Hbox, Cody schwab, moky, jmook, mang0, amsa… literally any top 10 and he’s getting beat Roy is shit marth. Even with all the experience he has on a similar character he barely won. Testament to zains skills and Roy’s shitness

[@VestedUTuber]

@@YyNRCyY Yeah, that's an is-aught fallacy and a fallacy of four terms all wrapped up into a single argument. You've made no actually statements about Roy, all you've basically tried to say is that "the character is bad because the player would be beaten by other players if they were competing".

[@TeamHeropon]

Low tier characters can lead to some fun match ups. If you win, you get people interested in that character and feel like a badass for your skill. If you lose, it's because you were using a low tier character for fun.

This is how majority of DK players in Ultimate feel Lmao it’s always a win win for them 😂

[@milesprower6110]

Is this the consequences of people ignoring a characters because of a table that the day they end up facing such character, it's unknown for them?

[@vocalcalibration8033]

Basically. A lack of matchup knowledge, not knowing what they need to do against a character with their own. It is low tier characters greatest strength at a competitive level.

[@Spiffyo]

Yeah a friend whose a pretty costant ultimate player doesn't really expect me to go in with Link to attack with my sword since he's generally considered a spacey. Hell I like playing Isabelle and trounch swordfighters as she and villager have a unique playstyle that they aren't used to.

[@bradfjord]

People quit out against low tiers most of the time. Makes it harder to learn to play and learn to fight the wacky low tiers.

[@thegamingguy1]

It's not like it's hubris that people don't know this matchup like that, there are just literally no other Roy players close to Zains skill. It's not that people are under cutting bad characters, Zain is just on a different level. I've been going to my local like 2 years and never played a Roy. Theyre just not out there, it's not that people ignore the matchup.

[@redhand8836]

@@thegamingguy1 actually it's a self fulfilling prophecy situation, happens in a lot of fighting games. Tier lists get made, usually early on before any tech or strats are heavily labbed. People focus on the higher tiers to lab, as the meta evolves it becomes based around the high tiers that were picked out early on(unless some wildcard shenanigans happen and a low tier gets bumped up due to someone actually developing tech for it early on instead of sleeping on it), after a while people only play the characters that got heavily labbed as high tiers in the games beginning, and the low tiers are now justified as such due to not having the same tools as the characters the meta is based off of now, so no one plays them because they're low tier. It's not necessarily hubris, or even a flawed system, it's just one of those quirks of the format. They're low tier so no one plays them, and no one plays them because they're low tier.

[@typicalchris1941]

Just so you know Roy’s reverse up b only has one hit box the only reason why Jigglypuff didn’t die is because battlefield has a high ceiling. Yoshis story FD and PS are the only Tournament Legal stages where it will kill on the ground at Zero

The irony of the situation is that we usually underestimate those low tiers and end up paying the price big time for that, the lesson here is always think that you need to take the fight seriously right from the get-go, no matter what.

[@YyNRCyY]

I think rather it shows it’s the player not the character to some degree. Players like Armada arguably the goat on a character that hasn’t seen any high placings since his retirement. kinda strange with how dominant he was that none of the top players even tried to pick her up as even a secondary. Or players like Hbox who was on a crazy run several years ago and made people mald and rethink matchups as well as garner so much hate and bitching (Leffen when anything isn’t going his way or to his little goblin ass liking)

[@DrDeez-do9zo]

Seeing people just wreck the competition with characters many would see as "bad" just makes melee feel so much more fun in a way i cant fully describe. Its also nice to know that playing these unvonventional characters started with hungrybox's jigglypuff.

[@hannibal8810]

mang0 was winning tourneys with puff before hbox, and the idea that a top tier like her is at all comparable to roy is ridiculous

[@t-wrexgamer6294]

If you want to know how Roy’s reverse up b works it’s because the move is a multi hit, however in order to make it connect properly the first hit has a fixed knockback that is absurdly high, reversing the up b can let you hit that one hitbox without anything else and the fixed knockback is so high that the lighter characters in the game just straight out die to it, this includes puff who’s really the only one it matters against.

this is how important the metagame is. Not META, most effective tactic available, but the game around the game.

When people sleep on bad characters, they leave themseoves vulnerable to bad characters. Some are irreconcilably bad, I don't see a ganondorf winning a major tournament, but Roy? Well, it just happened here. He has the tools to make it work, and the fact that people wrote him off was in and of itself a tool to his advantage.

[@Quasartist]

You know, I'm not super informed about Smash overall, and I'm especially lacking in Melee knowledge, but I feel like every character has the potential to be the next aMSa's Yoshi. The game has had such a set-in-stone tier list for so long regarding the top 5 or 6 characters that it wouldn't surprise me to see Roy jumping 10 spots up if more people would commit to him and really optimize him by figuring out what works and what doesn't on a more technical level. Same could be said for a lot of characters. The spotlight is so narrow that anyone in their right mind trying to get into competitive would obviously pick Marth, Puff, Sheik, or a Spacey. I think a lot of characters are untapped because there's just not enough attention on them.

[@mrbaconbeast8902]

The top tiers have been the same places for almost all the games lifetime but honestly the mid tier and tournament viable characters always change just because one dude picked them up and showed what's podsible

[@queuedjar4578]

As far as melee goes, there are some inherently just dogwater aspects of low tiers. Regardless, these weaknesses are null and void if someone can use their strengths well enough, especially given Melee's controls, tech, and movement options making the tier list a lot more flexible and more of a suggestion than a rule.

[@Icemario87]

The tier list grew out of millions of matches. Low tier characters are not low tier due to a lack of popularity. They lack popularity because they are low tier. Fox wasn't the favorite, Shiek was. It wasn't until people's skill level could begin to harness Fox's potential that Fox started to become more popular.

[@hollowtrees6669]

I see this as pretty simple. He warned them not to test him, and they tested him. So they lost and he won. Shouldn't have tested him, that's all

[@Prikense]

camping roy is the optimal play against him, his main weakness is his small range and bad combo game vs floaties, so camping him gets rid of his strenghts, that being mid punish with tech chases and grab and denies him his advantage of a good mobility while grounded,, camping him in platforms is specially difficult to handle as his aerials are very bad and he has a very bad shorthop for dealing with platforms and bad air mobility
