*Roy does not feature a sheath during gameplay and his "Challenger Approaching" screen like Marth does; this is considered unusual, as Roy has a sheath in his victory poses, official art, character select portrait and all three of his trophies, as well as his unused Classic Mode introduction.

*Roy's [[Counter]] does not have a limit to its maximum damage. If 3 or 4 Roys continuously counter each other, they can drive the damage of the counter's hitbox past 512, which [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHnCOSZ-tf4 crashes the game]. This is because hitboxes in ''Melee'' only have room to store 9 bits for damage, which equals a maximum of 511 before it overflows into other code.
