Social Roy Social - R O Y B O Y Z

So I cleared all star on the 3DS version. Yup another Roy and Roy joke for the clear screen.

 

[ShionKaito438]

Eshop is literally having a breakdown. Probably not even worth trying for a while.
"There might be a bit of traffic." Yeah, a little more than a bit Sakurai lol.

Took probably an hour of nonstop log on attempts to get on the eShop,
then another half hour of logging onto the Smash DLC shop to download my boy.

But it was all worth it.

Yeah, I just cleared it too.

Roy hitches a ride on Roy's clown car.

Hey guys, I used to be a Charizard main but I left him because he's really low tier! I also mained Roy in past games, so glad to be part of this board! I don't care what placement Roy ends up.

Lol Roy is far past Marth on the teir list and he's only heen here for a few hours xD

D,x

 

[Mysteltainn]

Tried out Roy for fun and actually really enjoyed him... I think I'm going to keep him as a character I'll use often. There are similarities to Marth of course, but I feel like he has his own concept now, sort of like Mario / Luigi or Ness / Lucas, but certainly doesn't feel like Marth / Lucina (although the tipper vs non-tipper is a factor, they still feel way too similar).

 

[Macchiato]

Well he can actually combo and his damage output is much better... oh and throws actually have combos past 0%

 

[Eureka]

I think Roy's biggest weakness might be the fact that he has no airals that autocancel out of a short hop. Besides that though I really can't see that much to complain about him until further analysis is done.

His landing lag do look shorter than Marcina's. His recovery is pretty eh too.

 

[Ura]

So Roy is like the best FE character in the game now right?

Played some matches and i'm really liking what i'm seeing. is also pretty good in this game and i'm considering making him my secondary in the game.

 

[Deleted member]

I just want to say to all the Roy fans that I was never a 'Roy hater' and I'm actually very pleased that he's back in the game! I didn't play as him super often in Melee, but I always thought he was a cool character. I think it's awesome to see him return in such a revamped fashion, in glorious HD.

And I never understood why people hated him so much anyway. Some people just like to whine I think.

A lot of people hated him because of all the noobs that wouldn't shut up saying he was a top tier character in Melee.

"Back the F**K up, WFT (we through)"

"Woah, girl"
"Slow down"
"Grab the wall"
"Wiggle like you try'na make your *** fall off"

I'm sorry.

 

[LordTakeo]

Well, I guess I am stalking a new social group now.
Hope my Avatar isn't used yet...
ROY'S OUR BOY!

 

[Bedoop]

'Eyyy mates guess who I got from a kind friend~

Lucas!
yesitisn'troybutthat'sbesidethepoint

All I need is mah boy and I'll be complete~

 

[DougX]

I need to get a card before I can get Roy. None of the other DLC matters to me! Though, having them would be neat too.

 

[FalKoopa]

For those having trouble getting Roy, or getting into the shop in general, spend some time laughing at this first
AND FEEL LUCKY

I really like that Lyn was included in the picture.

 

[Serell]

Roy is my new main. Never cared for him in Melee or all in general. But this new Roy is AWESOME! Marth and Lucina were just too light, and Ike was too heavy. Roy has the PERFECT weight to his attacks. Not too light, not too heavy, just... perfect.

I kinda have to agree here, just wish his recovery was a little bit better...
And The Hitbox of our Sweet Neutral B could be a bit deeper, otherwise he seems just fine.

 

[Davregis]

Flare Blade, like another move that goes Flare Bl---, seems to be the worst move this time around. Slow startup and bad everything, what are uses aside from shieldbreak? Seems like the only thing that got nerfed from Melee

You could punish approaches, I think? Flare Blade doing now little eruption can ncreases it's overall range somewhat. New applications can be found.

 

[Eureka]

Flare Blade actually has surprisingly little ending lag. I personally throw it out occasionally when falling to stuff approaches.

 

[SwineofWar]

Is it just me, or is Roy a god damn baller?

He's a power character wrapped up in a nice package of speed that I was definitely not expecting.

Jesus, his sweet spotted Side Smash hits harder than most Heavy characters, and is twice as fast!

In case your opponent has the reaction time of a snail and you need a good way to OHKO him.

Flare blade has surprisingly very little end lag. I haven't found much use for it yet but you could probably catch people off guard using reverse b.

 

[Serell]

Ohmygosh... just playing Roy earlier, the crowd starting chanting "Roy's our boy!"

 

[Bullys]

Man couldn't be happier with Roy.

I love my Marth, but Roy just takes the crown on this one I have to say. I was desperate to have a good level sword/Fire Emblem rep and now we have one.

Plus Dreamland is just the icing on the cake.

 

[Wing Zero]

ROY HYPE THEME:

 

[TiGGesta]

In all Seriousness, I think Roy along with Captainn Falcon are gonna be my mains. This man came back with some heat.

 

[TiGGesta]

Roy's nair auto cancels, he has improved speed, and has guaranteed D-Throw options. I do think Ryu, when mastered, will be better, but Roy has been buffed tremendously from Melee.

 

[Trunks159]

Roy is probably the coolest character but ill hold off on whose the best.

He feels really cool to play as and his smash attacks are deadly. I love him right now.

 

[Bribery]

I've really been enjoying Roy so far. I may end up maining him if this keeps up xD. His combo game is great and he's loaded with kill power as well.

 

[TiGGesta]

nair autocancels actually and is a great approach option.

 

[Eureka]

Am I the only one who thinks that Roy's crowd chant comes out a lot more often then others. I've heard Roy's our boy way more often then I usually hear other crowd chants. Not that I'm complaining of course.

 

[Guineapig126]

Something I did notice when playing Roy dittos with my friend was that his Up-B doesn't snap back onto the ledge if you're facing the opposite way, I believe. I'll test it a little more, but I really do hope that if this is true it'll get fixed like Robin's Elwind.

Flare blade has surprisingly very little end lag. I haven't found much use for it yet but you could probably catch people off guard using reverse b.

I don't know about anyone else, but I've used Flair Blade pretty successfully to cover my ass while people are waiting to punish landing lag. Either people run into it, or dodge out of the way, and because it has so little landing lag, they don't have time to punish.

 

[S.F.L.R_9]

I downloaded Roy! He's even more fun than I expected and I'll definitely be making him the third character that I play <3

 

[Eureka]

nair autocancels actually and is a great approach option.

Are you sure? Because I'm still getting nair landing lag when using it out of a short hop.

 

[Your Boy Toy Roy]

I love Roy so much. His aerials are fantastic and his counter is amazing. Just passed Shulk as my new main.

It does, actually. You just weren't close enough to the ledge to snap in. Just tested this.

 

[Bedoop]

I GOT ROY, MATES!

Yessssh
All I need is Dream Land 64 and I'll be fantimitytastic

Ryu I don't really like so I ain't getting him :b

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Impression time!


- To all claiming he's just a "fiery Marth" - G.T.F.O.

Honestly though, Roy is completely his own beast. The rush-down to end all swords with rush-down. He's also even more, MORE fun than Marth and Lucina combined.

- Range is kinda short, but it's actually worth it. Attacks are fast, and are pretty damn easy to hit hard. Yikes. He's not anymore limited on hilt of his sword.

-Quite a fast falling speed and decent air speed. Combined with above Playing Roy is like playing Melee, so to speak. He can easily get a hard hit when you whiff an attack due his speed.

- Roy has best throws of all FE-chars. Sends just so close and low that it just lends you a follow-up. Even in high percents.

Marth would die for his throws.

- D-Tilt got changed in that it doesn't pop people up anymore, but you can now use it for tech-chasing, especially if you use the tip which sends the opponent in lower angle and distance. I use this to kill with a Dash A follow-up.

- Aerials are magnifico. F-Air and B-Air are better killing tools than Marth and Lucy could wish for. U-Air is interesting, you can use it to poke via tip or land more damage or even kill in higher ceiling. Very reminded of PM.

- D-Smash is almost rivalling PM's kill power. Unf.

- DED doesn't kill, but is a decent damage racker now. Not bad at all.

- Flare Blade has little bit more lag when executed, but it covers now an explosion on front of Roy. Nice. A lot try edge-guarding with it but it's very predictable, you gotta read with it or try to threaten with getting close while chargin.

- Blazer is very nice. Still very disruptive anti-edge-guarding tool, and no more knockback scaling, meaning I can rely still on it in higher percents.

- Roy is amazing. AMAZING!!! MY BOY IS GONNA BE SO DAMN GOOD YOU DON'T KNOW
