'''Roy''' (Japanese: {{hover|ロイ|Roi}} ''Roy'') is the son of Marquess [[Eliwood]] of [[Lycia]]'s House [[Pherae]]. In the [[Disturbance of Bern]], he was entrusted with the leadership of Pherae's army in opposing the invading Kingdom of [[Bern]] in lieu of Eliwood's illness, later becoming the leader of the Lycian army as a whole following the death of [[Hector]] of [[Ostia]], and ultimately assuming command of the [[Etruria]]n army. He sought to assist Bern's Princess [[Guinivere]] in finding a peaceful resolution to the war, to prevent King [[Zephiel]]'s ambitions of exterminating [[human]]s and returning [[Elibe]] to the rule of [[dragon]]s.

[[File:Cg fe07 50.png|thumb|right|Roy and [[Lilina]] at age ten.]]
Roy was born in the [[Timeline of Elibe|year 985]], five years after his father Eliwood defeated [[Nergal]] at the Dragon's Gate; his mother is not canonically identified, but in the gameplay of ''Fire Emblem'' she can potentially be [[Lyn]], [[Ninian]] or [[Fiora]]. During his upbringing, he was [[wikipedia:Wet nurse|wet-nursed]] by the Pheraen knight [[Rebecca]], and her son [[Wolt]] is considered his [[wikipedia:Sibling#Milk sibling|milk brother]]. At the age of ten, he and Eliwood traveled to [[Ostia]] to meet with [[Hector]], Eliwood's old friend, and Roy was there introduced to Hector's daughter [[Lilina]], and the two became close friends.

===The Disturbance of Bern===
===The Disturbance of Bern===
Five years afterward, at the onset of the [[Disturbance of Bern]], Roy was in [[Ostia]] studying under the tutelage of [[Cecilia]], the Mage General of [[Etruria]]. During his studies, he was summoned home by Eliwood, who had fallen ill while Lilina was visiting; when he arrived back in Pherae, the region was under siege by a bandit mob led by [[Damas]], with Eliwood and Lilina barricaded inside the castle. With the assistance of his retinue of Pheraen knights, Roy subdued the bandits and reclaimed Pherae. Once there, he was tasked with leading the Pheraen army to join with the rest of the Lycian armies to oppose Bern's impending threat, owing to Eliwood being too ill to do it himself.

Once there, he was tasked with leading the Pheraen army to join with the rest of the Lycian armies to oppose Bern's impending threat, owing to Eliwood being too ill to do it himself.  


Before heading to [[Araphen]] to join with the rest of the armies, on Eliwood's instruction Roy headed to the Lycia/Bern border to meet with a mercenary band led by [[Deke]], hired by Eliwood to bolster Roy's ranks. During this meeting, he was approached by [[Elen]], who implored him to save her mistress from captivity in the nearby Bern fortress. Roy challenged the Bern unit stationed at the castle and its master [[Ruud]] and won, rescuing the noblewoman. The noblewoman revealed to Roy her identity as [[Guinivere]], the princess of Bern and younger sister of King [[Zephiel]]. Guinivere had fled Bern in the hopes of meeting a Lycian representative in a bid to bring the war to a peaceful end. Roy agreed to assist her in this goal and allowed her to join his army.

Guinivere had fled Bern in the hopes of meeting a Lycian representative in a bid to bring the war to a peaceful end. Roy agreed to assist her in this goal and allowed her to join his army.


En route to Araphen, news reached Roy that Araphen had already been attacked by a Bern army led by [[Brunnya]] and [[Narcian]], decimating the League's army. By the time he arrived, the bulk of Bern's army had already pulled out, leaving an occupational guard in Araphen; Roy defeated the occupation force, only to find a severely wounded [[Hector]]. Even a warrior of Hector's talent had been overwhelmed by the raw power of [[dragon]]s, Bern's secret weapon, and with his last words Hector warned Roy of the dragons in Bern's service and entrusted him with the leadership of the Lycian army in his stead, then died from his wounds.

Roy's next destination was Ostia, to recover a weapon capable of fighting dragons and protect Lilina. On his way, he was forced to fight against traitorous Lycian forces who sought an alliance with Bern in light of the imminent collapse of the League. After defeating Lord [[Erik]] of [[Laus]] and the [[Thria]]n advisor [[Wagner]], Roy arrived in Ostia only to find it in the midst of a coup d'etat. A rebellion led by the Ostian knights [[Debias]] and [[Legance]] had seized control of Ostia, allied with Bern and taken Lilina hostage, opposed only by an [[Ilia]]n mercenary band under Hector's employ. With the assistance of the Ilian mercenaries - [[Zelots]], [[Trec]] and [[Noah]] - Roy challenged the rebellion and, for the first time in the city's history, successfully invaded Castle Ostia to defeat Legance and rescue Lilina. His victory was short-lived, however, with the arrival of a Bern unit headed by Narcian, saved at the last minute only by the arrival of Cecilia and [[Perceval]] from Etruria, who placed Lycia under Etrurian protection and drove Narcian out.

===The Western Isles expedition===
===The Western Isles expedition===
The Etrurian assistance came with a cost, with the Lycian army - now headed by Roy - indebted to them for their protection. On Etruria's orders, Roy's army was sent away from Lycia to the [[Western Isles]], an Etrurian colony, to fight the encroaching bandit infestation. Cecilia informed him that the decision to deploy Roy came not from the Etrurian king or military, but from the Isles' governor [[Arcardo]] and royal advisor [[Roartz]], without anyone else's involvement; Guinivere was left in Cecilia's care during Roy's campaign. While initially determined to complete his set task as quickly as possible, as he progressed Roy instead learned of the abuse and enslavement of the people of the Isles at the hands of corrupt Etrurian governors, including Arcardo, all to fuel the Etrurian mining industry in the region. Roy elected to lead the army on a different mission in the Isles: to defeat the Etrurian occupation and free its people, earning the support and aid of mercenaries and the resistance movement led by [[Ekhidna]] along the way, and receiving another advisor: [[Elphin]] of the resistance. At the Isles' capital, Jutes, Roy's army fought a Bernese unit as Arcardo fled the Isles, defeating a dragon left behind to defend the capital by the Bernese commander [[Flaer]].

Upon capturing Jutes, Roy received news that a coup d'état had broken out in Etruria, under the leadership of Roartz and Arcardo. Of the Etrurian army, only Cecilia has escaped being forced to serve the Revolutionaries and even she was now cornered with Guinivere in a castle in [[Missur]]. When Roy arrived to rescue her, she was confronting King Zephiel himself, who quickly overpowered and defeated her, seizing her castle for himself and finding Guinivere. After Zephiel's departure, Guinivere was to be taken back to Bern by [[Milady]], her bodyguard, but instead the two rejoined Roy's army at Guinivere's insistence. Roy led his army to recapture the castle and save Cecilia, defeating its defender Flaer; at the castle after the battle, he found Cecilia and [[Sophia]], who had been tending to Cecilia's injuries. On Sophia's advice, Roy led his army into the [[Nabata]] desert to find [[Arcadia (place)|Arcadia]], which was under attack by Bern. Afterward, Roy led a march on [[Aquleia]], the Etrurian capital, and defeated Bern's General [[Narcian]] and freed Etruria from the Revolutionaries' grasp with the assistance of the [[Elimine Church]]'s influence.

The collapse of their coup d'état forced Roartz and Arcardo to flee Etruria to find shelter with Bern's army. With King Mordred and the three Etrurian generals now in support of him, the Lycian and Etrurian armies merged into the single "Etrurian Army" with Roy as its commander. The united army's first mission was to liberate [[Ilia]] and [[Sacae]], other nations already conquered by Bern. During the campaign, Roy confronted Roartz and Arcardo - now reluctantly commanding small Bern armies - and challenged traitorous forces within both nations, the Djute tribe of Sacae and a faction of Ilian mercenaries; along the way, Guinivere related to him stories of Zephiel's history, his conflict with their father [[Desmond]] and how those events ultimately twisted him into deep-seated distrust of mankind.

With the rest of Elibe free, all that remained was Bern itself. Roy led the Etrurian army in an attack on the [[Shrine of Seals]], defeating [[Murdock]] and [[Galle (The Binding Blade)|Galle]] of the [[Wyvern Generals]]. There, he used the [[Fire Emblem (item)|Fire Emblem]] entrusted to him by Guinivere to unlock the [[Binding Blade (weapon)|Binding Blade]], and was "chosen" by the blade as its new wielder to finish the war. With the Binding Blade in hand, the Etrurian army stormed the Bern palace, defended by Zephiel himself. Upon unlocking the throne room with the Fire Emblem, Roy confronted Zephiel, making one last bid to reason with Zephiel and convince him to end the war. His efforts at negotiation proved useless with Zephiel determined to stay his course, and in a final battle Zephiel was defeated by Roy and the Etrurian army.

If all of the Divine Weapons of Elibe came together in the Bern throne room after Zephiel's defeat, Zephiel's former sword, the [[Eckesachs]], reacted to their presence in Roy's army and emitted a light beam pointing to the [[Dragon Sanctuary]], the last bastion of Bern's army and the hiding place of the Demon Dragon, [[Idenn]]. Roy led a final charge on the Dragon Sanctuary, first defeating the final Wyvern General, [[Brunnya]], then invading its interior and learning the true history of [[the Scouring]] from [[Jahn]], the sole surviving true [[Manakete]]. Between Jahn's tale and the concerns of [[Fae]], Roy realized he could not kill Idenn; instead, Hartmut's sword in hand, he resolved to restore Idenn's lost heart.

With the war over at last, Roy attended the coronation of Guinivere as the new Queen of Bern, then returned to Pherae to rebuild the war-ravaged region. If he reaches an A support with [[Shanna]], [[Sue]], [[Lalum]], [[Cecilia]], or [[Sophia]], he married her and the couple rules together over Pherae. If he reaches an A support with Lilina, the two married and united Lycia into a single kingdom.

He is also understanding of people's desires and reasons, and feels that a victory obtained by sacrificing people is not a true victory.<ref>{{Cite|'''Roy:''' I'm not rushing, but we must move as quickly as possible.<br>'''Cecilia:''' Why?<br>'''Roy:''' The quicker we move, the more lives will be saved.<br>'''Cecilia:''' ...Yes, that's true.<br>'''Roy:''' We fight to win this war.

[[File:SSB4 Roy.png|right|180px]]
{{SmashWiki|Roy (SSBM)}}


In his debut appearance in any game, Roy is [[smashwiki:Roy (SSBM)|an unlockable playable character]] in {{SSBM}}, wielding the Binding Blade. Roy was originally placed in ''Melee'' at the request of [[Intelligent Systems]] in order to act as a promotion for the then-upcoming {{FE6}}. Roy is unlocked through using [[Marth]] to complete Classic Mode without using a continue, or by playing 900 matches in VS Mode.  He is a [[smashwiki:Clone|clone]] of Marth, meaning that he was created by reusing Marth's animations and assets with several modifications, and as a result the two have nearly identical animations and motions while also having very different physics and play styles; compared to Marth, Roy is lighter but slower, some of his attacks uniquely possess fire effects, and his sword blows are [[smashwiki:Sweet spot (hitbox)|much more powerful]] when landed with the center of Roy's blade, encouraging a close-quarters play style. In competitive environments, Roy is viewed as drastically inferior to Marth with the differences between them considered to severely hamper Roy's effectiveness in comparison, and he is currently ranked in twentieth place in the current widely accepted ''Melee'' [[smashwiki:Tier list|tier list]].
{{main|Roy/Super Smash Bros. series}}


Along with the game's other five clone characters, Roy's presence in the game was not part of the original design plans, and he and the other clones was added late in development to help easily increase the roster's size.<ref name="leif">{{cite web|url=http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=37915502&postcount=7506|title=View Single Post - Next Super Smash Bros. discussion thread, Community Edition|author=cednym|site=NeoGAF|published=2012-05-16|retrieved=2015-01-10}}</ref> During the Japanese development, Marth and Roy were intended to remain exclusive to the Japanese version and be removed from international releases of the game, owing to their then irrelevance to international audiences; however, the localization teams came to like the two and instead chose to leave both characters in the game, both still speaking Japanese to reflect their Japan-only status.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/0115/index.html|title=ロイ|author=[[smashwiki:Masahiro Sakurai|Sakurai, Masahiro]]|site=速報スマブラ拳!!|published=2001-12-4|retrieved=2015-02-20}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/1204/index.html|title=マルス|author=[[smashwiki:Masahiro Sakurai|Sakurai, Masahiro]]|site=速報スマブラ拳!!|published=2001-12-4|retrieved=2015-02-20}}</ref> In the international releases of the game, the positive reception of both characters among international audiences is widely credited as being the catalyst for [[Nintendo]]'s international subsidiaries to commence localizing and releasing future installments in the {{FES}} in the United States, Europe and other nations.
Roy is a recurring playable character in Nintendo's ''[[smashwiki:Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' fighting game series. He first joined the series in {{SSBM}} for Nintendo GameCube and, along with [[Marth]], was one of the ''Fire Emblem'' series' first representatives in the games. He did not return for the sequel, {{SSBB}}, but was reintroduced as a [[downloadable content|downloadable]] character in {{SSB4}}.


====Special moves====
Roy is a [[smashwiki:Clone|moveset clone]] of Marth, meaning that he was created by reusing Marth's animations and assets with several modifications. He is designed as a sort of inverted take on Marth: while Marth's attacks [[smashwiki:Sweet spot (hitbox)|are strongest]] when landed at the tip of his sword, the strongest point of Roy's [[Binding Blade (weapon)|Binding Blade]] is the very center of the blade, near its hilt. While Marth's play revolves around properly spacing Marth at a distance from his foes to maximize damage and knockback with his tip, Roy's different sweet spot makes him better suited to a close-quarters, rushdown style of play. His moveset was partially reworked in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Wii U'' to separate him from Marth with new and unique attacks, but the majority of his attacks are still taken from Marth.
* '''[[smashwiki:Flare Blade|Flare Blade]]''' (Japanese: {{hover|エクスプロージョン|Ekusupurōjon}} ''Explosion''): Roy's [[smashwiki:Neutral special move|standard special move]]. A fire-channeling strike which can be charged for up to five seconds to deal a more powerful blow; if left to charge for too long, it will deal damage to Roy. A clone of Marth's [[smashwiki:Shield Breaker|Shield Breaker]] with added fire effects.
* '''[[smashwiki:Double-Edge Dance|Double-Edge Dance]]''' (Japanese: {{hover|マーベラスコンビネーション|Māberasukonbinēshon}} ''Marvelous Combination''): Roy's [[smashwiki:Side special move|side special move]]. A combination of four sword strikes, which attack in different directions depending on which way the analog stick is pointed for each swipe. The fourth strike, as well as the third if downward, sets his sword ablaze and deals fire damage. A clone of Marth's [[smashwiki:Dancing Blade|Dancing Blade]], with which it shares its Japanese name.
* '''[[smashwiki:Blazer|Blazer]]''' (Japanese: {{hover|ブレイザー|Bureizā}} ''Blazer''): Roy's [[smashwiki:Up special move|up special move]]. A sweeping upward strike which carries Roy into the air with his sword ablaze; can be used as a recovery move to try and climb back onto a stage if Roy falls off. A clone of Marth's [[smashwiki:Dolphin Slash|Dolphin Slash]] with added fire effects.
* '''[[Counter]]''' (Japanese: {{hover|カウンター|Kauntā}} ''Counter''): Roy's [[smashwiki:Down special move|down special move]]. Roy assumes a brief defensive stance and will retaliate if struck in this stance, cancelling the foe's attack and dealing to the foe 1.5x the damage Roy would have sustained. Roy shares this move with Marth and, in later games, [[Ike]] and [[Lucina]].


====Trophies====
===''TCG Fire Emblem 0 (Cipher)''===
{{Trophy|76|Roy|[[File:SSBM Trophy Roy.png|100px]]|The son of the lord of Pharae Principality, Roy was studying in Ostia when the Kingdom of Bern invaded League of Lycia. His father fell ill at this time, so Roy assumed leadership of Pharae's armies. After his fateful meeting with the Princess Guinevere, his destiny became inextricably linked with the fate of the entire continent.|Classic Mode|77|Roy [Smash]|[[File:SSBM Trophy Roy Smash 01.png|100px]]|While Roy's moves are well balanced, he's a little on the slow side,and doesn't excel at midair combat. His blade, the Sword of Seals, gives him excellent reach, and makes his Double-Edge Dance slightly different then Marth's Dancing Blade. When it's fully charged, Roy's destructive Flare Blade delivers an instant KO.|Adventure Mode|78|Roy [Smash]|[[File:SSBM Trophy Roy Smash 02.png|100px]]|Roy's blade is different than Marth's: he does the most damage hitting with the center of his sword. So, a fearless advance into the arms of his foe is Roy's best bet. Blazer is a bit slower than Marth's Dolphin Slash, but it's still a mighty attack that sets anyone it strikes aflame. Roy's attack after using Counter differs slightly from Marth's.|All-Star Mode}}
Roy is currently featured on one card in {{TCGCipher}}. At least two more Roy cards are due for release with the upcoming fifth expansion.


==={{SSBB}}===
{{TCGCipherData
Roy is no longer playable in {{SSBB}}, with [[Ike]] replacing him as the second {{FES}} representative alongside Marth.  While it is possible that Roy was removed due to no longer being relevant as a recent main character of a game, it is also possible that he was intended to be included and was cut solely because of time constraints disallowing him to be finished for a timely release of the game. Through hacking, [[smashwiki:Beta elements (SSBB)#Scrapped characters|unused remnants of character data]] and [[smashwiki:Music (SSBB)#Removed tracks|an empty unused victory fanfare file]] have been found hidden within the game's data, suggesting the latter scenario. Extensive further hacking of ''Brawl'' ultimately allowed players to implement Roy as a fully playable character, either in place of another character or as a separate character in his own right, as [[smashwiki:Roy (PM)|he is playable]] in the popular ''Brawl'' [[smashwiki:Gameplay modification|mods]] ''[[smashwiki:Project M|Project M]]'' and [[smashwiki:Brawl-|''Brawl-'']].
 
Roy's sole representation in the official completed game is as a [[smashwiki:Sticker|sticker]].

In the initial release of ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' or ''Wii U'', Roy again did not return as a playable fighter - amusingly, [[mariowiki:Roy Koopa|a completely different Roy]] is playable - and, unlike in ''Brawl'', he has no other representation in the core game, aside from [[Marth]] now having [[smashwiki:Palette swap (SSB4)#Marth|an alternate color scheme]] which gives him Roy's ''Melee'' outfit colors.
}}
 
However, in 2015 he returned as [[smashwiki:Downloadable content|paid downloadable content]], released on June 14th 2015 alongside [[wikipedia:Ryu (Street Fighter)|Ryu]] from the ''[[wikipedia:Street Fighter|Street Fighter]]'' and [[wikibound:Lucas|Lucas]] from ''[[wikibound:Mother 3|Mother 3]]''.  Prior to release, Roy and Ryu were inadvertently leaked when Nintendo uploaded version 1.0.8 of ''for Wii U'' to their eShop servers early and hackers extracted its contents.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.destructoid.com/street-fighter-s-ryu-and-fire-emblem-s-roy-leaked-for-super-smash-bros--293871.phtml|author=Whitaker, J.|title=Street Fighter's Ryu and Fire Emblem's Roy leaked for Super Smash Bros.|site=Destructoid|published=2015-06-13|retrieved=2015-06-13}}</ref> Prior to this, these two were leaked when sound files with their names on them were found in the data of version 1.0.6 of ''for Nintendo 3DS''.<ref>{{Cite web|published=2015-04-16|retrieved=2015-06-13|url=https://twitter.com/CuttingRoomWiki/status/588467223833882627|title=Our crack research team has confirmed the existence of the Ryu sound files in the #Smash4 3DS update.|site=Twitter|author=Cutting Room Floor}}</ref>
 
Roy now sports a revised design which is primarily based on his original ''The Binding Blade'' appearance with elements of his ''Awakening'' DLC design added. Unlike [[Lucina]], his fellow clone of Marth, he has been reworked to distance himself from Marth in both aesthetics and gameplay, which now makes him a "semi-clone". In many of his attacks he now slashes with a reverse grip, altering his range, and some of his moves are completely new and different from Marth, such as his new down aerial attack. Like Marth, his range is now shorter than what he had in ''Melee'', but he compensates for this with drastic increases to his speed, allowing him to act as the close-quarters fighter he was originally intended to be.  He also gains a [[smashwiki:Final Smash|Final Smash]], [[Critical hit#Super Smash Bros. series|Critical Hit]], which is radically different from Marth and Lucina's version of the move in both style and function, and imitates his critical hit animation with the Binding Blade from his native game.
 
Like all playable characters in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U'', Roy is also scheduled to have an [[smashwiki:Amiibo|amiibo]] figurine, although details on its release are unknown for the time being. When it is released, this amiibo will be able to be scanned by ''Smash Bros.'' to add a trainable AI Roy into matches, which can be ported between copies of the game.
 
====Special moves====
Like the other DLC characters, Roy does not have any [[smashwiki:Character customization#List of Custom Specials|customizable special moves]] and can only use his pre-set default special moves, taken from ''Melee''.
 
* '''[[smashwiki:Flare Blade|Flare Blade]]''' (Japanese: {{hover|エクスプロージョン|Ekusupurōjon}} ''Explosion''): Roy's [[smashwiki:Neutral special move|standard special move]]. A fire-channeling strike which can be charged for up to five seconds to deal a more powerful blow; if left to charge for too long, it will deal damage to Roy. While it originated in ''Melee'' as a clone of Marth's [[smashwiki:Shield Breaker|Shield Breaker]], Marth had his version of the move changed to a single stabbig lunge from ''Brawl'' onward, which technically makes Flare Blade now entirely unique to Roy.
* '''[[smashwiki:Double-Edge Dance|Double-Edge Dance]]''' (Japanese: {{hover|マーベラスコンビネーション|Māberasukonbinēshon}} ''Marvelous Combination''): Roy's [[smashwiki:Side special move|side special move]]. A combination of four sword strikes, which attack in different directions depending on which way the analog stick is pointed for each swipe. The fourth strike, as well as the third if downward, sets his sword ablaze and deals fire damage. A clone of Marth's [[smashwiki:Dancing Blade|Dancing Blade]], with which it shares its Japanese name.
* '''[[smashwiki:Blazer|Blazer]]''' (Japanese: {{hover|ブレイザー|Bureizā}} ''Blazer''): Roy's [[smashwiki:Up special move|up special move]]. A sweeping upward strike which carries Roy into the air with his sword ablaze; can be used as a recovery move to try and climb back onto a stage if Roy falls off. A clone of Marth's [[smashwiki:Dolphin Slash|Dolphin Slash]] with added fire effects.
* '''[[Counter]]''' (Japanese: {{hover|カウンター|Kauntā}} ''Counter''): Roy's [[smashwiki:Down special move|down special move]]. Roy assumes a brief defensive stance and will retaliate if struck in this stance, cancelling the foe's attack and dealing to the foe 1.35x the damage Roy would have sustained. Roy shares this move with Marth, [[Ike]] and [[Lucina]].
* '''[[Critical Hit]]''' (Japanese: {{hover|必殺の一撃|Hissatsu no ichigeki}} ''Critical Hit''): Marth's [[smashwiki:Final Smash|Final Smash]]. Roy moves the Binding Blade in a circle, then sharply whips it down behind him and unleashes a single, powerful overhead swing which deals immense damage to the foe if it hits, accompanied by a rapidly depleting ''Fire Emblem''-style HP bar.

This changed when, on consulting with Intelligent Systems for permission to use their characters, he was given a preview of ''The Binding Blade'' and decided that Roy would provide a greater visual contrast to Marth.<ref name="leif" /> A side effect of this initial indecision is that the names of Roy's files and debug menu listings in ''Melee'', unlike every other character, do not reference him specifically: he is instead referred to generically as "EMBLEM" in many places, most prominently the debug menu<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tcrf.net/Super_Smash_Bros._Melee/Master_Debug_Menu#CHAR_SELECT|title=Super Smash Bros. Melee/Master Debug Menu|site=The Cutting Room Floor|published=2015-03-09|retrieved=2015-03-16}}</ref> and his texture files refer to him with the two-letter codename "Fe", an obvious abbreviation of "Fire Emblem".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://smashboards.com/threads/melee-hacks-and-you-updated-1-7-11.247119/page-2#post-8291198|author=Steelia|title=Guide - Melee, Hacks, and You -- *UPDATED 1/7/11*|site=Smashboards|published=2009-09-03|retrieved=2015-03-16}}</ref>
