| '''Roy''' is a 15-year old swordsman, and a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. He is a character from the [[fireemblem:Fire Emblem (series)|''Fire Emblem'' series]], a series known primarily in Japan. [[Marth]], another ''Fire Emblem'' character, is also in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.

| |
| Roy is an unlockable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', unlocked by beating Classic or Adventure Mode as [[Marth]] and then beating Roy. Roy has a moveset similar to Marth's. However, Roy's attacks are strongest at the center of his blade, unlike Marth's. In general, Marth's tipped attacks are stronger than Roy's center-hits, but the center of Roy's sword is larger. Additionally, Roy has the worst aerial game among all the fighters in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.

| ====Special Moves====
| |

| |
| {{main|SmashWiki:Flare Blade}}
| |
| '''Flare Blade''' is Roy's most powerful attack. The attack is executed by pressing the B Button by itself. Once done, Roy will hold his sword behind his neck, and start charging up the attack. Charging is not necessary, but it does make the attack stronger. Once it hits the foe, it will damage and burn him or her. If charged enough, it can even instantly KO an opponent. Flare Blade is a stronger version of [[Marth]]'s [[Shield Breaker]]. If charged to the max (there is a limit to how much the attack can be charged), Roy will instantly let loose the attack, but the power of the attack will inflict up to 10% damage on him, which is something that Shield Breaker does not do. [[Kirby]] is also able to use Flare Blade if he [[Swallow]]s Roy. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', [[Ike]] uses [[Ike#Eruption|Eruption]], a move that is very similar to Roy's Flare Blade.
| |
| | |
| =====Double-Edge Dance=====
| |
| [[File:Roy's Double Edge Dance Move.jpg|left|thumbnail|Roy's '''Double-Edge Dance'''.]]
| |
| {{main|SmashWiki:Double-Edge Dance}}
| |
| '''Double-Edge Dance''' is Roy's Side + B move, and is a very unique move. It can be combined with another of Roy's attacks, to make a combo attack. Roy will thrust his sword forward, to act as a long-range move. But, another one of Roy's attacks can be used the instant he finishes up. Roy will be able to do this up to four times in one combo, devastating the opponent in the process. However, the timing must be spot on, as rushing the attacks will result in just a weak sword slash. It is a more powerful version of [[Marth|Marth's]] [[Dancing Blade]] attack, except that it expels fire with the third attack angled downwards, and the fourth attack.
| |
| | |
| One of the attacks that Roy uses with this move has [[Meteor Smash]] properties, which is the third attack when it is angled upwards.
| |
| | |
| Interestingly, Roy will change colors once he uses this attack. The exact same happens to Marth when he uses Dancing Blade.
| |
| | |
| =====Blazer=====
| |
| [[File:RoyBlazer-Melee.png|thumbnail|right|Roy's '''Blazer'''.]]
| |
| {{main|SmashWiki:Blazer}}
| |
| '''Blazer''' is executed by tilting the Control Stick up, and then pressing the B Button. Once done, Roy will jump up high, with his sword facing upwards, and burn anyone that comes in contact with him. Although not incredibly powerful, the attack can help Roy get back up to the stage after he falls off, making it a recovery attack. Unlike [[Marth]]'s attack's [[Dolphin Slash]], this attack's set knockback, however, prevents this from being an effective KO move.
| |
| | |
| =====Counter=====
| |
| [[File:Roy's Counter Move.jpg|left|thumbnail|Roy's '''Counter'''.]]
| |
| {{main|SmashWiki:Counter}}
| |
| '''Counter''' is a special attack that can be used by both [[Marth]] and Roy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', as well as a special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' used by Marth and [[Ike]]. The attack is performed by tilting the Control Stick downwards, and then pressing the B Button. Marth, Roy, or Ike will crouch down, and hold his sword at the side of their head. Once an opponent comes to attack, that opponent's attack will miss, and Marth, Roy, or Ike will automatically attack the foe. The attack must be used quickly, as it will not work if it is kept out for too long. This is the main reason the attack is hard to master, let alone use. However, the attack is very useful once done right.
| |
| | |
| Roy's Counter is very different from Marth's, as when Roy blocks an attack, he will counter with an attack that inflicts 1.5x the damage he would have taken from the blocked attack; for one example, if Roy blocks an attack that would have inflicted 14% damage to him, he will deliver an attack that inflicts 21% damage to the opponent. Also, Roy's Counter lasts for a shorter time period than Marth's Counter, making it harder to use properly. This move, like the [[#Blazer|Blazer]], is imbued with fire.

| ===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
| |
| Though [[Marth]] remained a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Roy did not. This is because Roy's role in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' was merely advertisement for his upcoming game. However, Roy did appear as a collectible [[sticker]]. [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Beta elements|Hacked data]] for Roy was found, confirming that he was supposed to be given another role than a sticker.

| |''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.''

| |
| |''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 then Marth's Dancing Blade. When it's fully charged, Roy's destructive Flare Blade delivers an instant KO.''

| |
| |''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.''

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' was Roy's first appearance in any [[Nintendo]] game. He would later star in the Japan-only game ''[[fireemblem:Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi|Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi]]'' (titled ''Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade'' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''). His appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' was advertising for his later appearance in said game. Additionally, Roy only speaks Japanese in all versions of the game, and Roy was voiced by ''[[wikipedia:Jun Fukuyama|Jun Fukuyama]]''. Roy was originally going to appear only in the Japanese version of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', but Nintendo of America stated to keep them in the game.
| |
| *In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'''s Classic Mode, Roy never appears as a CPU player at all.
