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. | 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]]. | ||
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. 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}} internationally. | 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.

While it is possible that Roy was removed due to no longer being relevant as a recent main character of a game, it is more likely that he was intended to be included and was cut due to time constraints preventing him from being finished for a timely release of the game, as there is [[smashwiki:Unused content (SSBB)#Discovered in Brawl's files|unused remnants of character data]] and [[smashwiki:Music (SSBB)#Removed tracks|an empty unused victory fanfare file]] within the game's data.

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]]''. | 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]]''.

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. | 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.

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. In competitive environments he is regarded as having been significantly improved compared to his ''Melee'' appearance, but his flaws combined with a near-total lack of representation in tournaments result in poor standings on the current [[smashwiki:Tier list#Super Smash Bros. 4 tier list|tier list]], where he is in 42nd place in the E tier. | ||
Like all playable characters in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U'', Roy has an [[amiibo]] figurine. This amiibo can be scanned by ''Smash Bros.'' to add a trainable AI Roy into matches, which can be ported between copies of the game. | Like all playable characters in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U'', Roy has an [[amiibo]] figurine.
