This is the first time in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series where Roy is not voiced in Japanese in all regions. In international releases, Roy is voiced in English by {{iw|wikipedia|Ray Chase|voice actor}}, who reprises his role from ''{{iw|fireemblem|Fire Emblem Heroes}}''. {{iw|wikipedia|Jun Fukuyama}}'s portrayal of Roy from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' was repurposed for the Japanese version. | This is the first time in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series where Roy is not voiced in Japanese in all regions.

Roy is ranked | Roy is ranked 19th out of 82 on the [[tier list]], placing him in the A tier. This is a drastic improvement from his mid-tier placement in ''SSB4'', where he was ranked 41st out of 54, and is his best placement in the series. He is one of the veterans with the largest improvement in the transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate'', along with {{SSBU|Pac-Man}}. Roy has fast air and dash speeds which, combined with great frame data in his aerials and tilts, gives him a strong combo game and several mix-up options. The new mechanics in ''Ultimate'' also benefit Roy by making it easier for him to hit his sweetspot at the hilt and thus making it easier for him to take stocks at a relatively early percentage. Finally, Roy possesses a strong set of specials such as [[Double-Edge Dance]], which has been improved from the previous game to be overall faster and stronger. | ||
However, Roy also has several weaknesses. Roy's fast falling speed makes it easy for him to be comboed, and he has little options that allow him to escape. His recovery is also weak compared to other characters, as [[Blazer]] covers little vertical distance, making it possible for Roy to die early due to a gimp. Finally, Roy's raw strength relies on him getting the sweetspot at the hilt, which means he either has to get dangerously close to his opponent to hit it or deal minimal knockback and damage if the sourspot hits. | However, Roy also has several weaknesses.
