Oh! Right! This is in a Social Group (the thread is there because the old there during the speculation was closed like the other ones), sorry... You have to do something before you can enter here...

The Social Group is called: "(Social) Character Support Threads"

Ask for an invite from a social group mod like @Zebei, @Azure Star Warrior , @Opossum, @Only Human, or @Dr. FalКoopa if you need one so you can view and post.

Is it wrong that I like the :4marth: VS :4feroy: MU even though it's bad for :4feroy:? Either Melee nostalgia or because I go back and forth with my region's :4marth: players even though I have only played them a few times.

I usually find that slightly disadvantageous matchups are the most fun to play, assuming you and your opponent are of roughly equal skill.

Highly disadvantageous (like :4mario: vs :4myfriends:) is either super annoying, frustrating, or both.

Did Sethlon really drop Roy? Or is he simply taking a break?
I'm pretty sure he mains Cloud now. Sethlon should play the character that most appeals to him, so I wish him the best of luck with Cloud. There's still plenty of us (not really here, mostly on Discord) that are innovating the character, that I think Roy will continue forwards as well.

Tweek going from Jr to Cloud, Raziek going from Robin to Cloud, now there's Sethlon going from Roy to Cloud. Ashera damn that character...I say as he's probably my second best character though admittedly I feel like crap with every character except Roy right now.

Cloud is fun, tbh. I have a pocket-ish Cloud myself, and it's like, things just...happen with him. Juggling with Cloud is just such a breeze, and when I play him people tend to assume I've practiced him, or played him more than the scant handful of times I have, because that's just the kind of character that he is lol. For some people, focusing on that, and refining that, is fun. They want to win, they perceive him as being the most consistent path for that out of the sword characters, and they switch.

idk about others, but for me, though, Roy is where it's at. I enjoy playing this character so much, I like the way he moves, I like the way he looks, and most especially I like most of the other Roy mains, so I feel like this is the right place for me.

Aside from playing the new Pokemon games (I'm a huuuuuge Pokemon fan lol), I am grinding out our optimal combos, so I can have them in muscle memory after the holiday season, when I will be playing locally again. I can already dance trot consistently, and I think the confidence that comes with being able to properly execute and know which combos when will help my consistency a lot. And that's all just grinding, since a long list of our best true stuff has already been compiled. Movement to flow around my opponent, optimized punishes to get the most damage when I get in, and I feel like I'll do much better moving forwards.

Here's to hoping, at least lol.

Man, feels like every 2-3 months Roy is bereft of another player, first Neath for Diddy Kang, now Sethlon with Cloud(still hope him the best of luck with him), oh well, at least Hyper_Kirby, Spark, Ryo, Serew and occasionally Serge and Izaw still work with the character, if only Roy's tournament presence was more frequent.

P.S: Anyone know anything about this DanSuno from Peru?

So I've left the Roycord since it really isn't for me and I'm probably not going to interact here too. I honestly don't like smash too much anymore, and the discord really just isn't for me so yeah. Rip.
I'll try to finish my full edgeguarding guide (it's so long holy crap) before like Easter...ish if I don't procrastinate and then I plan on falling off the face of the earth for a while, so I might permanently drop smash.
At least I put in 200 hours with this character before bustering out of smash lol.
I'll come back to post my edgeguarding guide and then idk.
Until then!

Online communities are just...up and down. I've met some life-long friends through the Roy community, even as I get tired of some of the nonsense. I'm going to keep using the online communities for practice, though, as soon as I get back from vacation. Gonna grind as a wifi warrior until spring, and return to Xanadu a much stronger player, hopefully. I feel like I'm so close to the next level, I just have to unlock it, and that just means more practice. More, more practice lol.

Roy is going to be on FE Heroes for Mobile.

It shows that they do care about our Red Headed Boy (and he has the Smash 4 design)

Hopefully we will see him in FE Warriors burning up everything in sight (please tecmo can you give me at least one of my favorite gaming redheads for once?)

EDIT: Oh and FE Gaiden is getting a Remake on 3DS and FE Warriors will come to the NEW 3DS (basically just like Xenoblade Chronicles)

You'll get no sympathy from me~ :4myfriends: Much as I love Roy in Sm4sh, I prefer Ike as an FE character so my vote goes to him. If everyday they make you vote for a different character then I'll likely vote for Roy at some point since he is one of the more likely non-Awakening/Fates characters to make it in. If later votes can be for the same character then I'm likely sticking with just Ike. With the Gaiden reimagining, I'm hoping Binding Blade gets one at some point too so those that aren't in Japan can legally play Roy's game.

Huh, never caught that up. Super-neat!

I think if they confirm Lords from series Pre-Kozaki (Awakening/Fates), then Roy's gonna likely pop in as one of the playable Warriors. I don't think I.S is shafting him the way we think they are, really.

Interesting, this design is now officially... official, for the Fire Emblem Series. I like it :3

For some reason, the FE Heroes voting site no longer displays in English for me, only Japanese. Very odd.

But yeah, still dedicated. ~~

Look at our boy going neck-to-neck with most beloved Lords of all time, despite all the naysaying that hardcore Western FE-base has spat on him all these years. Keep voting!

Thanks to the absence of the RD!Ike Votes, Roy actually has an opportunity to defeat Ike in the number 1... I wonder what will happen.

Well, you could start from this video:


Very extensive and professionally written, should cover most of the good things.

MasonEliwood has a youtube playlist of useful Roy videos worth subscribing to:
Might also want to join the Discord Chat, which might be more active:
Smash 4 Roy Discord Group Thread
Ph1r3 Nation

Been busy with projects myself so I've been outta the loop with the Smash scene for awhile too and haven't been checking in (I know some passionate/skilled Roy mains, but I've always been a lurker at heart). I heard something like Sethlon switched mains or something, is that true? That's a shame if it's the case, he was great with Roy, but I wish him well.

Nah, Sethlon didn't switch, but he doesn't play with a strong competitive drive at this point, mainly just for fun, so he'll likely play other characters for fun in bracket as well. He'll always be in and out, I think, depending on how much he feels like playing at a given time.

That's good to hear, Sethlon brings a lot of insight and has a great Roy, having fun is the best and maybe most important part of it all so more power to him. I love all the nuances of Smash 4 play and personally haven't waded into the competitive world yet myself, literally no idea how I would even stack up, I imagine it can get stressful but is prolly pretty exciting.

If a 2GGC: Fire Emblem Saga does become a reality what players would you like to see playing for :4feroy:? I can definitely see Manny and Hyper, Ryo would represent Ike no doubt, perhaps others like VoiD, ScAtt and Serge?

Guys, Roy now officially has an English voice actor.
Screen Shot 2017-02-03 at 6.10.49 pm.png


And from what i have heard of his performance so far.. I'm 50/50. There are times where he really suits the role (such as his line during the data download screen) and other times it's sort of... eh (like when his says his classic "Mamoru beki mono no tame ni, makerarena" (for those i must protect i cannot lose) they changed it to "For those i must protect, onwards" which just sounds... odd)

He also sounds a like old given the fact that Roy is apparently only 15 years old.

Honestly thinking about it maybe Pit's voice actor might have been a better choice.

I mean i am willing to give him a chance still but idk...

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this the same guy who voices Noctis in Final Fantasy XV?

Hey, I have Roy on my game, and they didn't edit his classic line, it's still For those I must protect, I will not lose" (or thereabouts). Also, Roy is really good in Heroes, I got a 5 star Roy on my 3rd summoning circle (ended my second summoning circle early because no reds), and I've been pretty happy with him so far lol.

I personally am finding I like his new VA the more I play Heroes lol. A bit older than maybe expected, but he still sounds really good imo.

For those that want to fancy a listen, here's a link. ~
