If you were to change one thing about Roy that would skyrocket him to Top Tier

[Rain0]

What would it be?

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

make his attacks do 100 damage

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Just make him a direct 1-to-1 Marth clone a la Dark Pit/Daisy.

Reverse Roy's sword, so he grabs the blade and attacks with hilt.

 

[Amaterachu1]

But anyways if we're gonna keep the hilt aspect... his dash attack needs to be fixed is step one. And a lot of his moves need to just... connect.
His sword needs a little more knockback perhaps so he isn't swinging around a noodle sword.
And honestly that may be it. If his moves can connect finally, and knockback mostly letting him kill is enabled he'd probably be a decent character.

but I'm a low level Shiek main, so like lol to me his sword doesn't seem too bad in knockback power until one of you guys show me a Roy compilation of him being terrible.

Guess it's my turn to post.

I honestly would just import his Brawl Minus and Project M moves.

Duplicate. DELETE please.

 

[itsbme]

Make all his attacks that set opponent on fire have additional stun.

 

[hand]

Make his upthrow kill twice as early and he is actually a top tier threat now. Fixing his missing hitboxes and his shield would just be QOL at this point lol

If his shield is so poor, then they should've made it so that he destROYs shields easily.
