{{Main|Roy (SSBM)}}

[[File:Roymelee.jpg|120px|right]]Roy makes his ''Smash''-series debut (and by extension, his western debut) as an unlockable character in ''Melee''. He can be battled to be unlocked one of two ways: beating either Classic or Adventure as [[Marth (SSBM)|Marth]] on any difficulty, or playing 900 Vs. mode matches; clearly the first method is incomparably easier than the second.

Roy fights with his sword, the Sword of Seals, and his [[special move]]s all involve the sword's fiery powers. The Sword of Seals is Roy's blade of choice, and is used in most of his attacks, excluding grabs and throws. In contrast to Marth's Falchion, the Sword of Seals is most powerful near the center of the blade rather than the tip, and has a multitude of fire-based attacks. His [[neutral special move]], the [[Flare Blade]], is a chargeable sword strike like Marth's Shield Breaker, but it can be charged for up to five full seconds, after which it will unleash an explosive attack so powerful that many opponents would be instantly KO'd, and Roy receives 10% damage as a side effect. His [[side special move]], the [[Double-Edge Dance]] (DED), is a series of up to four sword slashes determined by the number of times B is pressed and which direction the control stick is pressed during each swipe, like Marth's Dancing Blade. Roy's [[up special move]], [[Blazer]], is a slower, more damaging, fire-based version of Marth's [[Dolphin Slash]], and his down special, [[Counter]], operates similarly to Marth's Counter, being a bit harder to time while having potentially higher or lower damage and knockback; the retaliatory sword swipe's power and [[knockback]] is based on those of the opponent's attack, multiplied by 1.5, making it very quick at KOing a character like [[Ganondorf (SSBM)|Ganondorf]] using his [[Warlock Punch]].

*'''[[Event 46: Fire Emblem Pride]]''': Your character battles and must defeat a team of Marth and Roy in an untimed match in the [[Temple]] stage, with all three characters receiving 3 [[stock]].

In line with the other playable characters, Roy as a playable character is featured on three trophies - a normal trophy acquired by beating the Classic mode with Roy on any difficulty, and Smash Red and Smash Blue trophies are won beating the Adventure and All-Star modes, respectively. His classic mode trophy reads as follows:
