His play style fits with my own, I feel he is a combo of the best of Lucina and Marth, and he shares his name with my grandfather.

There should be an option that says, "The passion in his voice when he does his attacks." That is pretty much my reason. But he isn't a main. I would choose him occasionally.

I really love the way he feels when I play as him.

He was my favorite character in melee when I was a kid. Being left out of Brawl left me with a sort of resentment for marth, but I got over that over time and with his dlc announcement

Well, l'm interested in the character a lot. Very grounded and actually has decent speed, unlike lke or Corrin. He feels so stylish and fast, although he basically just falls a bit faster than the other swordsmen. l've basically first started truly playing Bidou with him and l really enjoy it. l want to play this character a lot, but l always say that when l do fine against good players online with a character l'm more or less just pressing buttons with, so l'm gonna write this down before l forget he exists again.

You can basically choose how you want to fight a lot more than the others, except maybe lke and Corrin. But he's so much faster and evasive with fox-trots and B-reverse Flare Blade. You can scream BOKU WA MAKENAI or ROY'S OUR BOI just as much as PREPARE YOURSELF or I'VE MAID MAH CHOYS.

And he just looks.... Sexy, for a lack of a better term. He just looks really good and his combos do too, in a way only the FE lords feel like. Graceful, powerful, and totally skillfully.

Roy was honestly the first character i used that did work for me. I do wanna use other characters as well, but i have to solidify some of my fundamentals before I should. I have faith that Roy is either among low mid tier or the best low tier character for the oddest reason(I can't find myself to believe he's bottom 5).

I play Roy mostly for the fact I secondaried him in Melee, and tend to go with rush-down style characters.

It pains me that he doesn't have some of his combos from Melee (or a better recovery for that matter).
