Smash Hero
Roy... Is not the most successful character in 4. To put it bluntly I believe he’s the least successful out of any character that wouldn’t be considered an echo today. He could get buffs but Ultimate is looking highly conservative overall. Really though, the topic is about Chrom.
Chrom admittedly doesn’t have the problem of his tipper doing crap for damage, but then there’s the problem of having to use Smashes for kills. Lucina has her infamous f10 Fsmash of doom. Roy’s is much slower, and considering the size I don’t see Chrom’s being anything nearly as powerful either. Yeah he could just straight up get Lucina’s Fsmash but considering that’s her single most valuable move I don’t think they’d just slap it on Chrom. His other moves don’t seem to have spectacular knockback either, namely Ftilt which I believe is a fairly common way for Roy to close stocks.
Chrom... Also has Aether. It’s just a bad move. One of the worst Uspecials in the game. Damage is bad, it’s slow, it doesn’t kill, hitboxes are bizarre at best, and as far as actually recovering it’s terrible. Ike manages with Aether because of Quick Draw. Chrom? He’s got nothing. His side B doesn’t do anything for recovery. His double jump is still one of the worst in the game. His air acceleration is likely still bad. I can honestly say with no hyperbole that it’s worse than Little Mac’s recovery.
Even if he racks up damage like crazy, he doesn’t have good kill moves and his recovery is dismal.
Please, I mean no harm or disrespect. I just... Well, I want people to keep their expectations in check.

I’m wondering what you think... I don’t believe I’ve missed anything.
