His voice! It's still Jun Fukuyama! And they're all new voice clips! That was all I needed. He's perfect. Aaaah I can barely type my hands are shaking too much. My chest hurts.

Oh wait...

...having Jun reprise his role as Roy in Smash Bros after nearly a decade and a half would be so overwhelmingly amazing that my heart would probably explode.

Oh God it's actually happening!

Worth it.

 

[Spak]

I may be late for the party but ROY IS BACK YES YES YES

ALSO JUN FUKUYAMA IS VOICING HIM

LEGIT SCREAMING AND (kinda) DYING HERE

Please don't die. If you die, you won't be able to play Roy when he comes out.

 

[Steelia]

Please don't die. If you die, you won't be able to play Roy when he comes out.

Which could be tomorrow

Seiyuu's in Japan take VA's extra-seriously. I respect the honor they give to such roles.

 

[Bassoonist]

Awesome, but it's such a shame that Nintendo is so inept at keeping these things under wraps.

 

[Spak]

Smashboards won't let me change to Roy... What a wonderful and yet terrible day...

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Congrats Roy fans, he looks pretty cool.

 

[FalKoopa]

I think I just got a mancrush.

Oh my god, what's Awkward Zombie going to do now?

That's part of the hype.

Smashboards won't let me change to Roy... What a wonderful and yet terrible day...

Just bear with it for a day. Let him get officially announced.

 

[Diddy Kong]

If? Nintendo is a corporation that wants to make money. Roy is a character that has millions of fans. Fans have $$$. Roy Amiibo = $$$ for Nintendo, so Roy Amiibo is happening.

It will with a 98,76% certainity happen because of FE14.

 

[Roy-Kun]

Is it really? How do you know? o:

Heard some leaked voice samples, alongside Ryu's English Voice which, unlike Sonic, are altogether new voice clips with Kyle Hebert.

Also Jun Fukuyama did a pretty amazing yell in one of his attacks!

 

[Oracle_Summon]

It will with a 98,76% certainity happen because of FE14.

Well, Roy fans have something to look forward to.

Now Roy Fans and speculators: What level in the Tier/Meta Game do you expect Roy to be in?

 

[Roy-Kun]

Now Roy Fans and speculators: What level in the Tier/Meta Game do you expect Roy to be in?

Personally, I don't care. Never cared for tier/meta game. I love Roy, and I will main him alongside Robin now.

 

[Oracle_Summon]

The picking his foot off the ground is consistent with F-Smash, but the sword stance suggests Flare Blade... It could be either.

Doesn't the pose for the uncharged "Flare Blade" move look different than the Flare Blade move shown in this Thread?

 

[Kwinston]

I am gonna main him no matter what his moveset is...

 

[Baskerville]

Well he pretty much has the same specials, not too surprising honestly.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Hopefully the baser hitboxes will still take priority over the wet noodle and the wet noodle gets buffed to at least a solid noodle... They probably learned that the hitstun they gave him in Melee is completely unacceptable, so hopefully the increased that a significant amount. I'd say that with his character design of the baser being strongest, he'll still be outranged by characters with stronger moves and bigger hitboxes... He'll most likely be punish dependent (again) and hopefully he can actually combo well this time around. If he has good movement speeds, he'll probably be high-ish. If he has bad movement speeds, he'll probably be low-ish

So basically, he will be in the same Tier range as he was in Melee, correct?

Edit: Unless he gets a speed buff.

 

[•Col•]

Yeah, just saw that released. The pose from the counter doesn't look like the one from the video?

So basically, he will be in the same Tier range as he was in Melee, correct?

Brah, we've seen like 2 of his attacks and don't know anything about his properties such and running/air speed and recovery and weight and whatnot.. Way too earlier to determine his tier placement.

That said, even if he's Charizard-level bad, I'm playing him.

Even if it is still too early to debate, it gives us time to kill before he becomes available.

Yeah, I agree. I'm just glad he's in. I'm gonna use Roy no matter how good or bad he is.

 

[TheLegendaryFoxFire]

Congrats Roy fans! So glad you all got your boy back in!

 

[Spak]

So basically, he will be in the same Tier range as he was in Melee, correct?

If he has bad movement, hitstun, and comboing, yes. If he has better movement, more hitstun, and an ability to combo, he will be higher. It will be hard to determine until we see more gameplay or play him.

Doesn't the pose for the uncharged "Flare Blade" move look different than the Flare Blade move shown in this Thread?

Looks like exactly the same animation. Also, F-Smash never had fire effect.

Roy's model is coded with three swords, lol.

Okay you are right.

 

[•Col•]

If anyone is bored and feels like having a chuckle or two.. I highly recommend going over to Gamefaq and seeing some of the reactions to Roy's inclusion over there.

And I'm glad. I've missed that B-neutral move. They went with something completely different for Marth in SSBB and Wii U/3DS.

 

[IceBreakerXY]

everything happens when i'm asleep congratz guys and atleast we dont have to argue about the outfit anymore

 

[Diddy Kong]

Am hoping he's at least gonna be better than Marth... That would be bitter sweet irony.

Also, Melee Neutral B should give Roy a better edgeguarding game than Marth.

 

[Inorunner]

WE DID IT!

 

[Guineapig126]

I JUST SAW THIS AND

AND

I THINK IM ABOUT TO DIE GUYS HELP ME I JUST WOKE UP EVERYONE IN MY HOUSE AND IM SHAKING AND--

There's seriously something wrong with me at this point.

 

[Untamed]

Eh not really hyped for Roy, but congrats roy fans.

 

[DeNice]

As a Krystal supporter, and as an old Roy/Young Ling player during GC Melee days, I gotta say congrats to you guys for getting your Boy back in the fray. He looks absolutely amazing (along with Ryu). Leaks are one thing, but I'm much more interested in actually seeing his trailer now that I've seen the bitesized bits of him (similar to the Shulk leak situation; hopefully it's tomorrow). Just seeing the more polished presentation really sells the character in Smash and leaks just don't do that for me. You gotta see him in TRUE motion. Also, I'm pretty much sure that confirms Wolf's gonna return very soon. Roy's inclusion just flat out throws the whole 'clone/series representation limit' theory out the window at this point (even more irony is that he's coming with Ryu, who's from a series that set the staple of 'shotoclones'. So it's like Marth = Ryu, Lucina = Sakura, Roy = Ken in Smash [Ike = Gouken...?]). Looks like Nintendo's getting the easy DLC picks out of the way first by bringing back veterans that missed the cut. Gonna be hard trying to choose between Roy and Lucina (my Girl) now...

 

[Knux27]

Found out the news 20 minutes ago, and thanks to a broken alert box, I didn't get any of the last 5 pages worth of notifications.

Congrats guys, we made it, Roy is once again our boy in HD and 3D

 

[Baskerville]

 

[Plain Yogurt]

That design though? I can't even be mad. Congrats guys. I REALLY hope they luigified his A attacks though. I think I'd have qualms about buying Marth V3.

Somebody just callled Wolf a clone over there.

 

[•Col•]

Roy able to Expand Dong confirmed.

 

[Guineapig126]

Nobody except Gamefaqs can be mad over this he looks so AWESOME!

 

[FalKoopa]

Where are you getting these?

 

[Kirbyfan391]

Roy reminds us once again that yes, he's our Boy. Even in Sm4sh..
