Forums: Index Melee Talk Marth Vs. Roy

I personally like Marth better, but Roy is pretty awesome, too. Dr. Pain 99 (talk) 02:40, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Same but I think that Roy is kindoff weak in a way and kindoff strong in a way. But they're both pretty good. Doc King (talk) 21:50, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Roy

I'm sorry, but OHKOs pretty much do it for me. This might be because I haven't mastered Wavedashing yet, but for the moment I'm better with Roy. Mr. Anon (talk) 23:27, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

I just go with Roy.--Megatron1 (talk) 23:28, June 8, 2010 (UTC)
Though I like Marth better than Roy, Roy is still an awesome character, and I wish he was in Brawl. Dr. Pain 99 (talk) 02:52, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
His performance in cruel melee is amazing. Kperfekt Talk Is Cheap... But I Am Not. 03:23, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
I agree that he could have been in Brawl. He could have easily been decloned, for example given a different side special. Probably the reason why he wasn't in Brawl is because he's only been in one, Japan-only, game. Lucas has also, but that game has a downloadable translation. Mr. Anon (talk) 04:02, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
They should have made Roy the bridge between Marth and Ike. For example, Aether is a better attack than Blazer/Dolphin Slash so they could have given Roy Flare Blade (a combination of Eruption and Sheild Breaker), DED, Aether and Counter. Then they should have given him standard, strong, smash, and aerial attacks from each character and a unique Final Smash to set them apart. Dr. Pain 99 (talk) 20:19, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
Roy would have no reason to be in Brawl if Ike was still there. Hence why Ike replaced Roy in Brawl. BNK [E|T|C] 20:45, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
Now Ike didn't necessarily replaced Roy, it's plausible (more likely than Lucario replacing Mewtwo), but the main reason Roy was likely left out is that he has only appeared in one Fire Emblem game. Now just because Ike was in Brawl doesn't mean that there would be no reason to include Roy. But Roy was a clone of Marth in Melee and his constant low tier placement could have been misinterpreted as unpopularity by the developers. While I do know that Roy was popular among casual players, he didn't have the popularity or credentials that Falco or Ganondorf had, the two clones that did return. So unlike these two, the developers probably didn't feel like trying to bring back and declone Roy and instead spent their time developing other characters.
