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; 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 unique standing stance and 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.

Taunts

• Roy's up taunt has him hold his sword above his head.
• Roy's side taunt has him hold his sword toward the screen, saying "僕 は 負けない!", which translates to "I won't lose!" This line was one of his victory quotes in Melee.
• Roy's down taunt is his returning taunt from Melee, where he kneels and holds his sword behind him while yelling.
