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. | The collapse of their coup d'état forced Roartz and Arcardo to flee Etruria to find shelter with Bern's army.

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. | With the rest of Elibe free, all that remained was Bern itself.

When all the legendary weapons of Elibe came together in the Bern throne room after Zephiel's defeat, Zephiel's former sword, [[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. | 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.

[[File:SSBM Roy.jpg|right|180px]] | |||
Roy is [[smashwiki:Roy (SSBM)|an unlockable playable character]] in {{SSBM}}, in his debut appearance in any game. 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 [[Binding Blade (weapon)|Binding 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]]. | |||
Roy | 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 returned to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series in {{SSB4}} 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'' series]] 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 [[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. | |||
[[Marth]] also has [[smashwiki:Alternate costume (SSB4)#Marth|an alternate color scheme]] which gives him Roy's ''Melee'' outfit colors. | |||
====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''): Roy'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. | |||

* Roy is the only ''Fire Emblem'' character to appear in non-''Fire Emblem'' media before his own ''Fire Emblem'' game debuted, as ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' was released four months prior to ''The Binding Blade''. | |||
* At [[Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade pre-release information|an earlier stage in the development]] of ''The Binding Blade'', Roy had a significantly different and more youthful design. Although his current design replaced this one by the time ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' was released, remnants of the old design can still be seen in his battle and map sprites in the finished version of ''The Binding Blade'', both of which sport his old design's large and distinct hair style. | * At [[Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade pre-release information|an earlier stage in the development]] of ''The Binding Blade'', Roy had a significantly different and more youthful design.

* In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', unlike every other character, Roy's files and debug menu listings 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> This suggests that Roy was chosen as the Marth clone relatively late in development. | |||
