So, what is different between Roy and Marth?

I'm not entirely certain, although Roy's final smash acts differently, and his regular b is completely different as well (Marth stabs, Roy swings his sword in an arc). Roy's sword does more damage closer to the hilt versus Marth dealing more damage at the tip.

The are physics differences between the two as well but I don't know all the details there.

I know he differs from Lucina on the upB, as he hits multiple times and can be directed slightly, while Lucina only hits once and flings the target back. His up smash can deal multiple hits as well, Lucinas is a single hit.

I'm assuming this is all the same as Marth but I don't play Math.

As far as I can tell the rest are pretty much the same except Roy has fire.

He's also stronger in general, apparently.

Roy has faster dashing and falling speed as well.

Also, in this game, a lot of his animations were diverged from Marth's, such as most of his attacks being executed in a reverse grip. His down air is also way similar to Ike's now, and Flare Blade keeps the overhead swing instead of turning into a straight stab like Marth's Shield Breaker.

Honestly, out of all the DLC characters, I both perform best with and enjoy Roy the most. I think it's his sweetspot being a lot closer to the hilt that encourages a more aggressive playstyle, which I love. 

(Btw Blade, that match where you chose Roy Koopaling? Very funny =P)

Our boy is back! (Hey!)

Our boy is back!

Our boy is back

Doin' it again

Fire in the neighborhood!

Never thought I'd see the day when Roy was a better version of Marth.
