==Overview==
==Overview==
Roy enters a defensive stance before letting loose a [[counter]]attack. The counter has a 1.35× damage multiplier, putting it a step above the usual swordfighter counters. This gives it slightly more [[KO]] potential as well. As with most counters, it is reserved to [[read]]s in terms of usage, resetting the [[neutral game]] or breaking out of a disadvantageous position.
However, the counter is quite slow, being frame 8 with frame 7 [[intangibility]]. In terms of [[FAF]], it's 3 frames slower than {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}'s [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Down special|Gut Check]], one of the slowest counters in the game. Roy also falls much faster and removes any horizontal momentum when the counter is used, sometimes even causing an [[SD]] if used after a [[midair jump]]. As a result, the move is generally considered to be poor.
==Hitboxes==
==Hitboxes==
The move's true base damage is equal to 1.35× of the countered attack's damage, with a minimum of 8% and a maximum of 50%. Additionally, the hitboxes ignore any kind of [[armor]], and they play an additional sound effect on hit if an attack that deals at least 13% is countered, which is shared with [[Critical Hit|Roy's Final Smash]].
