This.
So basically, Roy is supposed to be a mix between Marth's speed and Ike's strength, What elements of both do you think they combined to create this happy medium we know s PM Roy?
It's not quite like this.
Roy will be the fastest of all the Fire Emblem characters for sure.
And before somebody has to correct me, yes Marth has a faster dash and longer wavedash, but that's not why Roy is faster.
When I say he's faster I'm basically referring to the actual speed at which Roy is able to execute at. Roy's faster falling speed combined with his shorter full hop and short hop height give him a sort of Falcon-esque ground to air game/vice versa. But he gets to have that flow while also having the Marth-esque movement options with an excellent dash dance and excellent wavedash.
Anywhoozles...
I'm mad hype for Roy. He's long been my favorite character to play in Melee specifically because his physics are such a unique combination of speed and fluidity of movement. He has a lot of the elegance of Marth, but with that speed of a fastfaller. He was just too garbage to play seriously.
Even when I was just playing bad Melee Roy in Project M with the first stages of the clone engine a couple years ago he was as fun to play as he ever was. I've missed the fire.
