The hitboxes located on Roy's body, which have lower priority than his sword hitboxes, will [[meteor smash]] the opponent. The meteor is most consistent when hit from below, akin to Young Link's down air. On the flipside, the commonly hit [[sourspot]] is located near the tip of Roy's sword and pops the opponent straight upwards. Lastly, the hilt of Roy's sword, which has more priority than the meteor but less priority than the tipper, knocks the opponent at the [[Sakurai angle]]. It is often regarded as the least desirable of the three angles to hit, although it can potentially kill at a somewhat reasonable percent under the right circumstances, due to the inherent "[[DI]] mixup" nature of the move. | The hitboxes located on Roy's body, which have lower priority than his sword hitboxes, will [[meteor smash]] the opponent.

Despite having relatively high landing lag, Roy's down air is an indispensable piece of his [[combo]] game, whether using the meteor to pillar opponents in tandem with down tilt or using the tipper for [[juggling]] intermittently with up airs; The overall modest knockback can work to its benefit in these situations. | Despite having relatively high landing lag, Roy's down air is an indispensable piece of his [[combo]] game, whether using the meteor to pillar opponents in tandem with down tilt or using the tipper for [[juggling]] intermittently with up airs; The overall modest knockback of the move can work to its benefit in these situations. | ||
