*{{nerf|Roy has a new forward smash, a rotating two-handed downward slash based on his regular attack as a Great Lord in ''Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade''. Compared to the previous forward smash, its sweetspot is smaller because of it having a "medium-spot" that deals 3% less damage (20% → 17%). It also has more start-up (frame 12 → 14) and ending lag (frame 54 → 55), less vertical range, and a shorter duration (3 frames → 2).}} | *{{nerf|Roy has a new forward smash, a rotating two-handed downward slash based on his regular attack as a Great Lord in ''Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade''.
