What I Watched / What I Expected / What I Got - As a Marth Main Who Decided to Play Roy out of Interest, I Can Attest to This

In addition to the title, I've actually decided to start maining Roy in Smash 4. I despise Roy as a Lord in the Fire Emblem franchise (if you haven't played Binding Blade, do so and you'll see why), and I thought he was a total fuckboy in Melee, but in this game… damn it, he's actually really fun.

And he's actually GOOD this time!

Roy is like a fucked up demon child of Ike and Marth. He has Marth's great speed and overall playstyle, but he has Ike's ridiculous power, and a Neutral-B edge-guard. I'm regularly scoring kills with Roy's side-smash at around 80%-90%, and if they somehow survive, I sit at the edge charging up my Neutral-B.

That said, I still enjoy playing Marth just for breaking shields, as well as overwhelming Roynoobs with the greater speed and range.
