I just can see it, there will be lots of questions about this card in the future, due to its effect being only able to respond to built-in/inherent Special Summon, and cannot respond to Special Summon that starts a Chain/occur due to resolution of a card's effect (since you cannot interrupt a card in the middle of resolving).

Well that explain why I can't activate Roach's effect when I dueled just 1 hour ago.

Was super excited to tech this card into my rank 4 deck only to find out it can stop virtually nothing in the format. I got one on the date release and cant recall negating a single summon. Ty Roach. I would have preferred you to cost 3 materials and stop non inherent summons as well.

They can't release an Xyz in Synchro era, though.

After trying this for a while, I'm realizing this is actually overrated.
There are too many ways to play around this card, it's extremely situational, and has too low attack. It might be the most underwhelming among all staples in the same box.

Time to see people rage quit due to this one card. Many broken high level monsters can't be summoned at all. Goodbye blue eyes, goodbye despacito, goodbye lightsworn.

Yes it is. Roach cannot negate special summons that starts a chain link, and stone's effect certainly does. Try negating the summoning of BEWD through stone and you'll find out if you can negate that.

Fusion/Ritual summon(s) cannot be negated using the ROACH. The fusion/ritual monster is being summoned by a card effect,starting a chain,so Roach cannot activate during the resolution of the card effect!! Counter traps/monster effects that negate summon(s) cannot negate a summon performed by card effects! But you can prevent a monster(s) from being summoned by negating the card itself that summon!
