Roy (ロイ, Roy) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018. Jun Fukuyama's portrayal of Roy from Smash 4 was recycled for the Japanese release of Ultimate. In international versions, Roy is now voiced by Ray Chase, who reprises his role from Fire Emblem Heroes.[1]

Aesthetics
As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Roy's model features a more subdued color scheme.- Roy has a new crouching animation.
- 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.
- All of Roy's victory animations have been slightly altered with added flair.
- As with Marth, Roy is re-voiced in English outside of Japan.
Attributes
Roy benefits significantly from Ultimate's mechanics, as the general faster pace of the game and reduction in lag allow him to play more aggressively and makes him more mobile.- Like all characters, Roy’s jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.
- As a result of initial dashes being standardized, Roy's initial dash is significantly faster, improving his already excellent ground mobility.
- Roy's hilt sweetspots have been increased in size.
- Roy's air acceleration has been increased.
Roy's double jump covers less distance.
Ground Attacks
- Dash attack has less ending lag.
- Forward smash now hits overhead. It also has slightly less startup.
Aerial Attacks
- All aerials have less landing lag.
- Forward aerial's autocancel window has been restored, meaning it now autocancels in a short hop.
- Up aerial is stronger.
- Down aerial now deals flame damage and ignites the Sword of Seals during the move.
Throws/other attacks
- Roy's forward throw is now an elbow strike to the chest, just like Marth's.
Special Moves
- Flare Blade has slightly less startup, and like with most non-storeable charge moves, Roy can now turn the move to the opposite direction while charging.
- As with Marth and Lucina's Dancing Blade, Double-Edge Dance transitions significantly faster into each hit. It can also now be buffered and is much harder to escape from.
- Double-Edge Dance also has more knockback on the 4th hit.
- Roy now removes the Sword of Seals from its sheath once he has finished sheathing it in Critical Hit.
- Critical Hit now causes a flaming background to appear once the main hit is unleashed.
Role in World of Light
Roy was absent in the World of Light trailer, though he presumably became a spirit alongside the rest of the galaxy (sans Kirby) when Galeem unleashed its beams of light.
