*'''Bonus Fruit''' – PAC-MAN's apple bounces repeatedly across the ground. It travels quite a distance!

*'''[[Neutral aerial|Standard Air]] Attack''' – Roy performs a double sword slash in midair. This attack’s speed makes it ideal for disrupting enemy attacks and getting in close.

*'''Standard Attack''' – A backhanded, upward sword slash. Unlike most standard attacks, it doesn’t include any follow-ups, but it has speed and power to make up for it.

*'''Strong Side Attack''' – Roy takes a step forward as he unleashes the move, making it easier to strike with the whole blade and do a lot more damage.
