I can't do a thing because I am not the topic creator. If I post all the materials now, they will just be buried within this topic. Smash Bros. veterans that were cut should be allowed to have proper support topics.
Make the post, have M&S either
Too bad only Roy has t3h ph1r3.
You know what's funny? The only thing that makes Roy a clone is the order in which Marth and Roy were unlocked.
Marth was programmed into Melee before Roy was, so yes, Marth is the original, and Roy is the clone (despite technically being able to unlock Roy before Marth). Roy (and the five other Melee clone newcomers) were only added into Melee when Sakurai thought Melee's roster was too small, and realized he had enough time to make six clones.
Oh, I didn't know that. Despite that I still feel that Roy deserves to be in SSB4. Besides him having the potential to become a unique character he was also popular among the casual community of smashers. Only tournament players liked Marth, where Roy was popular to every casual player, even myself when I first unlocked him.
I would venture to say Roy was one of the most popular newcomers introduced in Melee, and that among the casual audience, Roy was more popular than Marth.
Well yeah, but that's all that makes me want Roy. Even if Roy returned as mostly a clone, just adding some firey effects that actually NOTICEABLY change the properties of Roy's attacks would be enough to make him feel different.
FE6 was released four months after Melee's release. Most of his popularity came from the fact he was a cool looking guy that had a flaming sword with an easier sweet spot for casual players. He was also very fun to use.
I disagree with this. While I don't deny that his popularity mostly comes from being in Smash, I very much doubt being an "original" to Smash character (which technically he isn't) is what caused his popularity. If there was an original to Smash character (such as primid, or an alloy, or something new, etc) that was playable, I would guess opinions of it and its popularity would be very divided, and it would not gain enough undisputed popularity to be one of the most popular characters in the game, such as Roy was.
That too applies.
Nope.
Mmmmmm..uh I..I Mean
ROY! ROY!! HE'S OUR......MAN mmmmmm
Roy's DLC was part of the next set released after Marth's (alongside Leaf). It was also released during Golden Week in Japan, so there is a good chance it sold well.
The hell am I looking at? Ike what have they done to you?
A lot of the forbidden 7 were taken out because sakurai tried to take out semi-clones after a recent survey, so that's why roy, mewtwo and dr. mario were removed. The others were removed due to difficulties with movepools or simply, because two of them (dixie kong was going to be a duo with diddy, and plusle and minun were going to be included as partners) were going to be duos, they couldn't technically script them into the game. On toon zelda and toon sheiks behalf, I think it's a bit of both, They couldn't find a different enough movepool, toon sheik especially, since he only featured in half of one game, I think they'd have been too much like clones, also the sprites would of been outdated, taking zelda's from the wind-waker.
you know this how?
I do research.
It's a godsend in comparison to Green Ike that we got in April, 2012 Fire Emblem DLC.
I've been thinking about having effects after a character burns, being poison, etc. Roy's fire sword would work out great for such an occasion.
I knew it, it's just because I didn't see this image here , and I posted.
