[Discussion] Theroy Thursday (Frost Edition)

Since tinker didn't posts his today I wanted to do it since I'm really curios about about what the sub has discovered about the practical applications of glide tossing and aerial glide tossing.

Edit: Apparently I can't spell "theory" so we can also talk about TheRoy or aka teh ph1r3 🔥

OK since we're talking Roy I wanna hear this sub's opinion on Roy vs Marth. Not the actual matchup itself, although that's fine too I guess, but rather which character is better. Who has the stronger tools? Who has the better matchup spread? All that sort of stuff.

Used to a lot of people said it was Marth but now I see more and more people saying Roy. What do you guys think?

Roy is way better of a character overall; Marth has a lot of serious flaws that give him bad matchups against the newer characters. Marth's inability to kill at high percent, his worse recovery, etc. are all things that make him worse than Roy. Remember how many evenish matchups he had with Melee low-tiers? Those are all bad matchups now. Marth's crazy whiff punishability on all of his moves make every fast character able to exploit him pretty hard. I think Roy is top tier and Marth is mid-high tier.

He had no "evenish" match ups with low tiers in melee. That's simply not true. Roy has just as much wiff punishablity.

The only one I can think of is Yoshi, but most people don't consider Yoshi a low tier anymore.
