Artist's Note:
Oh Roy, you'll always be our boy~ >v<
Writer's Note:
But in all seriousness, I think they may have made Roy a bit too powerful in Smash 4. Throw out a forward smash near the edge and you can kill people as early as 60%. I don't think he's top tier since Sheik and Rosalina can gimp him very easily (and ironically, I've found Marth and Lucina to be pretty good counter picks to Roy), but his design seems unbalanced. .
