shadowofchaos Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrJo5qG7Mh0 I'm surprised how often I actually get it to hit.
kingddd Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Surprisingly often. Flare blade in general is much more reliable to hit than all the other B special moves from the FE characters and it's a very a safe move compared to Shield Breaker and Eruption since its recovery is much faster than all of them.
Tamarsamar Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Flare blade in general is much more reliable to hit than all the other B special moves from the FE characters Except Thunder. :p Also Dashing Assault, if you count customs. Interesting note about Flare Blade is that it easily supplants Warlock Punch as the best attack for Home-Run Contest, but what you might not know is that it does more knockback when released just before fully charged than it does when you let yourself take recoil damage. Food for thought.
twice Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I honestly don´t like using it much (especially in multiplayer due to Roy being more open to attacks) but it´s rewarding to land that attack on an irritating opponent. ^.^
Jedi Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I don't often charge it, because its quick to throw out and swift to recover from if you don't.
Icemario Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Back in the early days I've landed several fully charged ones on people who didn't know it could hit the ledge and those people who try to counter it prematurely, but besides that, not too often whenever I use Roy. And nowadays when I do, it tends to be not charged.
MCProductions Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I do, but I rarely get it fully charged. I will say there isn't a more satisfying attack to have connect tho.
SSbardock84 Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Way more often than with Ike's. Roy's seems to be easier for me to charge and time at the exact right time. I might be really lucky but it usually works out pretty good for me.

Kiseki Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 I use it as a combo tool. Well, at least the uncharged one. I usually charge the move by the ledge as the opponent is recovering, which has provoked "unsafe options".
Ice Sage Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Surprisingly a lot. more charged than right away. no cool down after flare blade is also great.
euklyd Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 occasionally, usually when b-reversed in the air or something similarly stupid never charge it very long tho
Rizziah Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 "Is this guy really gonna let me blast him off the edge- Yep he did". Always satisfying. I also get a couple of small ones here and there.
Sock Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Not fully charged, but uncharged and partly-charged land a lot. I use Flare Blade way too often. ^^; Bad habits from always playing against computer players.
Slade Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Surprisingly too much... I land almost all of my Flare Blade attacks guarding ledge from recoveries, same goes with Eruption. It seems ironic how the move that should be the most avoidable is the move that you can't dodge lol
Shadow Mir Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I haven't used Roy much, but I'd say most of my hits would be when it's either uncharged or partly charged.
Knight Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I was so glad the other day I landed a fully-charged one on a guy hanging out on the ledge.
