(For those whom I must protect, I will not lose!)” —Roy, Super Smash Bros. Melee Roy is a fifteen-year old swordsman and the main protagonist of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, who actually made his debut as a character in the crossover game, Super Smash Bros. Melee. Roy is the son of Eliwood of the House Pherae, taking over leadership of Pherae's army in place of his ill father when the Kingdom of Bern starts invading. Since his initial appearances, he has made subsequent minor appearances in other Fire Emblem games, and returned as a downloadable fighter in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. History Super Smash Bros. Melee Roy's official artwork from Super Smash Bros. Melee. Main article: SmashWiki:Roy (SSBM) Roy is an unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee, unlocked by beating Classic or Adventure Mode as Marth or by playing 900 Melee matches, then by defeating him on Temple. During development, Nintendo of America and Masahiro Sakurai discussed possibly removing Roy for the North American release of the game, but ultimately decided to keep him in. Roy's moves are similar to Marth's, but Roy's attacks are strongest at the hilt of his blade. In general, Marth's sweetspotted attacks are stronger than Roy's, but the sweetspot on Roy's sword is larger. As an aesthetic detail, some of Roy's moves deal fire damage, reflecting the fire powers of his sword in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. Roy is voiced by Jun Fukuyama; like Marth, all of his voice clips are kept from the Japanese release, reflecting the Japan-only status of the Fire Emblem series at the time. Roy's neutral special move is Flare Blade, which has Roy charge a sword strike that deals an explosion. His side special move is Double-Edge Dance, which is similar to Dancing Blade. His up special move is Blazer, which sends Roy into the air as he slashes upward, dealing fire damage to opponents. Finally, his down special move is Counter, which deals more damage than Marth's version of the move (1.5x damage) but is slower and does not remain active as long. Super Smash Bros. Brawl Roy's only appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl is as a Sticker, depicting his regular appearance in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. It increases the power of slashing attacks by 24. While Roy is not a playable character in the game, files for Roy exist on the game disk, indicating that he may have been planned to be a playable character at one point. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U Main article: SmashWiki:Roy (SSB4) Roy is a downloadable character along with Mewtwo, Lucas, and Ryu in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, released the same day as Lucas and Ryu, on June 14, 2015. His appearance in this title is primarily based on his Great Lord design in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, while taking elements from his appearance as downloadable content in Fire Emblem Awakening. His voice actor from Super Smash Bros. Melee, Jun Fukuyama, reprises his role for this game, giving Roy new voice clips. Like in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Roy's attacks are strongest when hitting closer to the hilt of the blade, with yellow sword trails that indicate the sweetspot on his sword similar to Marth. While his special moveset has not changed from his previous appearance, some of Roy's other moves and animations have been altered to further differentiate him from Marth. He also moves faster than he does in Super Smash Bros. Melee, especially while in the air, though he is also heavier than before. In addition, as a result of the redesign, Roy is around the same height as Marth rather than being shorter, though his attacks still do not reach as far. Finally, Roy has been given a Final Smash: Critical Hit, which operates differently from Marth and Lucina's version of the attack and involves him swinging his sword overhead to trap opponents before slashing them. In the base game, one of Marth's color swaps resembles Roy's original appearance. Profiles and statistics Super Smash Bros. Melee Trophy information Name Image First Game / Move Description Roy Fire Emblem Japan Only The son of the lord of Pharae Principality, Roy was studying in Ostia when the Kingdom of Bern invaded League of Lycia. His father fell ill at this time, so Roy assumed leadership of Pharae's armies. After his fateful meeting with the Princess Guinevere, his destiny became inextricably linked with the fate of the entire continent. Roy [Smash] B: Flare Blade Smash B: Double-Edge Dance While Roy's moves are well balanced, he's a little on the slow side, and doesn't excel at midair combat. His blade, the Sword of Seals, gives him excellent reach, and makes his Double-Edge Dance slightly different than Marth's Dancing Blade. When it's fully charged, Roy's destructive Flare Blade delivers an instant KO. Roy [Smash] Up & B: Blazer Down & B: Counter Roy's blade is different than Marth's: he does the most damage hitting with the center of his sword. So, a fearless advance into the arms of his foe is Roy's best bet. Blazer is a bit slower than Marth's Dolphin Slash, but it's still a mighty attack that sets anyone it strikes aflame. Roy's attack after using Counter differs slightly from Marth's. Super Smash Bros.

His side special, Double-Edge Dance, changes for each strike after the first depending on whether you hold up or down while attacking. Critical Hit (Roy) N/A For Roy’s Final Smash, he traps enemies in a circular swing of the blade, brings it up behind him, and then, in a blast of fire, brings the blade down for a powerful finisher! The downward attack is powerful on its own but doesn’t have much range, so make sure you’re close enough to hit your enemies with the full combo and really seal their fate! Blue indicates exclusive to the Wii U version. Palutena's Guidance The following dialogue applies also to Mewtwo, Lucas, Ryu, Cloud, Corrin and Bayonetta, all additional fighters like Roy. Pit: Who is THAT? Palutena: I have no data on this fighter. I can't believe it! Viridi: It must be an intruder from another dimension! Pit: Whoever it is, the goal remains the same: to fight and win! amiibo Roy is the main character of the Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade game.
