What about other clones in general? Like Dr.Mario I always thought was a lot better than Mario, even in SSB4, Young Link and Toon Link have always been better to me,etc. The only exceptions are Lucina and Pichu.
For the most part whether or not you play a clone is a matter of preference. They're great if you like a character's moveset but not their playstyle. For example, some people like Mario's moveset but want some more power behind their hits. Dr. Mario fits that perfectly. Same deal with Roy, Ganon, Lucina, Tink, etc. There are cases where some clones are considered objectively better/worse than their original counterparts, but for the most part it boils down to preference.
He is, generally speaking. He lacks that street style Mario has though.
Sorry man, but it's too late to like a character based on how their moveset feels to you at this point in Melee's life.
There's always Melee SD Remix...
Unfortunately Sethlon doesn't touch Roy in Melee anymore since PM Roy is much more viable. Seems Pyro is one of the last active SSBM Roy's, Ripple rarely plays him (he had the fastest Roy), PewPewU is the latest to use him in bracket. Vectorman and Vist use him occasionally too. We still haven't seen a great player main the character like AmSa with Yoshi (and we may never), but those kinds of smashers are very far and few between especially for low tier characters.Nope, Sethlon plays him and aMSa thinks he has potential. M2K sometimes uses him in pools.
Yes basically just give him the aerial power that Marth has, and make his jab not garbage. To offset his bad fall speed give him Samus's weight so he can't get comboed so easily.
But in Melee Mario isn't faster. Same dashing speed, falling speed, and traction while having a lower air speed. Mario's biggest advantage is that his f-smash is disjointed, has more range, and can be comboed into fairly easily.
I said he feels a bit quicker. What you said is true, but I mean in terms of combo ability plus his jab speed and the fact that his nair is strongest at the start where Doc's gets stronger the longer it's out, it feels like it lends itself to a faster style of gameplay. Plus his cape lifts, where Doc's stalls, so he can get back to the stage easier depending on the circumstances. And he has a wall jump, which Doc does not. Not the biggest deal in the world, but it's another option. His movement speed is exactly the same, you're right. Mario is not actually faster in terms of movement, but he feels quicker in terms of play style. At least he does for me. I should've clarified though.
Tbh, Doc as a whole is just better for competitive play, but he's not nearly as fun to play imo. He's like a less fun, more viable Mario. He's alright, but I'd choose Mario over him any day.
I feel the same way. For some reason, I love the way Roy plays over Marth. I tried maining Roy for awhile, but I gave up sadly. I really didn't want to, but Marth is just better. Bottom line.
It's been found by The Cutting Room Floor.
So we're getting Roy in Smash 4?!
