turn around....
After Brawl's release it seems the alot of the diversity in Melee tourneys have died down significantly, I see alot of Falcons, Foxes, Falcos, Peaches, and Marths, and a few High Tiers and Sheiks every now and then, but nothing other than that.
Now the other characters I don't care about, but Roy can get some action in as well, it's been shown that Roy can tango with the best of 'em and win, save for Marth (especially), Falco and Peach.
His weak points aside, he as alot of untapped potential, even after NEO and Reed showed how badass Roy can own.
Now, being a Brawl player I can't do much right now, if I'm to acquaint myself with Melee again, I'll need to stop playing Brawl, I just can't be used to them both, and I don't plan on going back to Melee for a while, although I do plan to getting back to it eventually.

Well, from the looks of it, these boards are quite dead, and I doubt any reply I'll get would be something relating to "I'll bring Roy back, just you wait!", but this has just been something that has been lingering over me for a while, granted once I get back to Melee, It's all Roy.
Back before I got to Brawl, I mained Sheik and Marth, but now, I'm going back to my boy!
Until then, would anyone at all bust in a tourney and Roy it up right?

Well if you truly feel that way...make it your goal to bring Roy back.

But I promise you that there are still Roy players around, despite the decrease in popularity.

If you can, post some vids of your Roy and show us what you got. :)

Where I play, Roy is still quite popular.
It's mostly thanks to me saying, "hmm... who's that guy with the fire?"
and then playing him and winning.
I haven't really seen any good Roys, but if yours is any better than mine, show us.

Yeah, I still play melee. Still enter a melee tourney whenever they pop up in texas, which is about every month or so.
I forget this board exists sometimes though, its not very active =/

Whoa now, my Roy isn't "So NorCal Pro" or anything, but I can drop some jaws with what I do.
I'll get a video when I truly feel I have it down pat.

What are u talking about OP? Roy doesn't have more potential than say Samus, Ganon, Doc, Mario, and DK. These characters are all better than him. Roy is not good enough to play with the Top/High/Middle tiers, end of story.
