Is it really THAT complex?

Not really, obviously it's an important matchup but most characters, even low tiers kind of get to just do their shit against Fox. Fox doesn't really do anything other characters can't, he's just generally the best at it so if you play good Melee you can fight Fox.
Puff is the real meta-warper. If you don't dedicate serious study and effort to specifically that matchup you just lose instantly, and even then Fox is the only character in the game with a real matchup advantage against her, and even then that's only predicated on upthrow+upair and upsmash that can both be played around to some degree by just playing good melee. Puff you have to be playing The Puff Matchup 100% if you want any hope.

god i miss shield dropping so much in ultimate, platforms in that game feel so sticky

This. Back when I went to tournaments, I mained Falco and I couldn't stand having to play a Peach, Puff or IC. Anyone who complains solely about Fox has clearly not played the game competitively for very long or does not play at all.

Fox is the most fun character to fight because he is the easiest to combo

Roy is by far the easiest character to combo in the game. Everything just works on him.

we're on Yas Forums, what do you expect. the "people" you're arguing against are ultizoomers that play casually

Ever play a good Luigi? What a wack character.

You say that but you don't want it. Shielddrop is broken and the only thing that stopped it from being abused in s4 was the lack of shieldstun making it useless in most situations.

You put shielddrop in ultimate and pressuring people on platforms not gonna be a thing anymore.

But i do agree platforms are way to sticky for my liking too.

Thanks for reminding me about one of the worst posts on Yas Forums.
Surely you don't think all those replies are like in agreement

Maybe that's true, I haven't fought many roys. Fighting fast fallers is fun because you can set up tech traps more easily for big damage
