Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Roy's model features a more subdued color scheme.
• Roy's dashing animation has been altered.
• Some of Roy's moves, such as his down aerial, have fire effects added to them.
• Roy's sweetspotted moves now use the sound effects from Ike's sword, Ragnell.

Attributes

• Like all characters, Roy’s jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.

Ground Attacks

• Roy's neutral attack appears to have an altered animation, granting it more vertical range.

Special moves

• As with Marth and Lucina's Dancing Blade, Double-Edge Dance transitions significantly faster into each hit.
• Like with most non-storeable charge moves, Roy can now turn Flare Blade to the opposite direction upon releasing the move.
• Roy now removes the Binding Blade from his sheath once he has finished sheathing it in Critical Hit.
