However, Roy is not without his flaws. He retains his disjointed hitboxes' primary flaw from ''Melee'': the poor hitbox placements, as the tipper hitboxes of most attacks (neutral aerial and up smash are a few exceptions), retain their roles as the sourspots of his attacks, meaning that Roy is still forced to come up close to his opponents in order to be most efficient. However, because they are easier to land as a result of their increased range, this flaw does not adversely affect Roy nearly as much as it did in ''Melee''. Roy's primary flaws, however, are his susceptibility to combos despite his light weight, due to his fast falling speed, which also exacerbates his poor and easily [[gimp]]ed recovery, his other major flaw. On the upside, Roy can aid his recovery by using his side special, the [[Double-Edge Dance]], as the first hit grants him slightly more vertical distance and longer airborne time. Also, his fast falling speed enhances his vertical endurance, making him moderately difficult to KO vertically. Despite this, Roy's vertical endurance is only average relative to the cast (18th overall, which is relatively worse than in ''Melee'') due to being lighter than many other characters. In conclusion, Roy can be considered a rush-down glass cannon like the [[space animal]]s, because while he possesses devastatingly powerful attacks in his repertoire in addition to an effective combo game, his survivability is below average due to being an easy-to-combo lightweight with a lackluster recovery. | However, Roy is not without his flaws.
