Roy (ロイ, Roy) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4 as downloadable content. First leaked through datamining of the 1.0.6 update, Roy would ultimately be revealed as DLC in June 2015.

As in Melee, Roy is only voiced in Japanese regardless of the game's region, voiced once more by Jun Fukuyama; however, his lines have been re-recorded.

Changes from Melee

Generally speaking, while many of Roy's moves are still cloned from Marth, he has also received changes that further distinguish his moveset and animations from Marth's.

Aesthetics

• Roy's design blends elements from his original appearance in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and his DLC appearance in Fire Emblem: Awakening.
• Roy now has a completely unique standing stance as opposed to a variant of Marth's.
• Roy has new idle pose.

Attributes

• Many of Roy's attacks, such as his forward smash and his up special move, Blazer, now are performed while holding his sword with a reverse grip, and have slightly different swings compared to Marth as a result.

Aerial attacks

• Roy has a new down air, working similar to Ike's.

Special moves

• Roy now has a Final Smash.
