Roy in Project M and Project+
Universe	Fire Emblem
Base game appearance	Melee

Roy is a playable character in the Brawl mod Project M. He is one of the two characters that was not originally playable in Brawl, the other being Mewtwo.

Attributes

Changes from Melee to PM

• Improved base moveset, with extra damage or knockback adjustments tacked on.
• Up tilt now covers a larger, half-circle area above Roy.
• General improvements to his retained aerials, most significantly a much larger and powerful flaming sweetspot on his previously near useless down aerial. For his changed aerials, his new neutral aerial has much more range and a flame effect, while his back aerial is now a powerful finisher, both now having a slightly different animation.
• Double-Edge Dance's utility has improved significantly, with the move now linking much more fluidly, and the fourth strike serving varieties of purposes. A backwards fourth strike has also been added to the repertoire, being a powerful finishing move against opponents who attempt to reposition themselves behind Roy.
• Roy's dash attack is cancellable, which allows him to DACUS; this further improves his mobility and is an additional approaching option.
• Roy's down smash is now a spinning sword sweep with less ending lag and better knockback, having more utility than his previous one. It also has a flame effect.
• Flare Blade is more powerful.
• Roy's grab range has been significantly increased.
• Forward tilt is now a long-ranged stab.

Neutral special	Flare Blade		Roy charges his sword for a powerful flame attack. The longer he holds it, the more powerful it is; if he keeps it charged, it becomes a very powerful explosion attack with extreme knockback and power, however, it damages Roy in the process. It is much more powerful than it was in Melee in terms of knockback.
Side special	Double-Edge Dance		Roy performs a sideways slash attack, and can follow up with 3 different variations for a total of 4 strikes. The third and fourth strikes have significant differences between each variation, allowing for Roy to adjust the attack based on the situation.
Up special	Blazer		Roy soars upwards with his flaming sword, burning opponents within his reach. Similar to Marth's Dolphin Slash, though noticeably different in that it hits multiple times, is slower, and has significant hang time, giving Roy somewhat of an advantage against impromptu edge-guard attempts. The move's animation in Project M has been modified as a reference to the Ryuenjin, a similar move used by Zero in Capcom's Vs. series of games.
Down special
Final Smash			Roy starts his attack similarly to Marth's and lunges at the opponent and traps them with a flurry of attacks. Finally, he performs a large column of fire to send the opponent(s) flying. A very interesting note is that this Final Smash is a cinematic Final Smash; should it hit, the camera angle turns toward the right.
