Smash Apprentice
I'll start this off by saying I have never once played Melee competitively, in fact in the last decade I have turned on Melee once. I didn't even know Smash Bros had a competitive scene until a few years ago, so while I loved Melee casually a long time ago, I know jack **** about the meta game, outside of watching it for fun. I figure that would go without saying, I just wanted a disclaimer so people don't insult me.
I know Roy hits stronger at the base of his blade instead of the tipper like Marth, and I know Roy has stronger throws, but that's all I know. How can Marth be so good and viable in Melee yet Roy is said to be awful at the same time? I've never once seen anyone play Roy. Sure I could read their differences on paper but I wouldn't really be able to tell how that practically effects his gameplay, I figured you guys could explain it to me at length though.
So why isn't Roy the Marth as Falco is to Fox and instead deemed unusable garbage in this game?
