You guys might say Marth is better, but me personally, I like Roy. This is one of the most annoying things ever though.
When you do dolphin slash(?) with Marth, you're fast, but you're so vulnerable. That's what irks me the most, but with Roy, you do your blazer(?) and the foe goes up with you.
I prefer speed over strength yes, but I think that I'm better with Roy because of the strength. I just think that Marth's a little to weak, and the speed with Roy is just fine with me.
Indigo Swordsmen, it's your call. I'd like to have a small talk about this 3nodding

Alright. :3 I always enjoy intelligent discussion about things like this. Y'know, a break for the whole 'Link is best because he's awesome!' xd
Roy's a great character, don't get me wrong. It's just, well, Marth is broken. D:
Range - This would probably be Marth's biggest advantage over other characters. Why? Because it's crazy-a** long and it applies to all of his moves, even throws. Also, the sweet-spot of his hits is at the tip of the Falchion, which allows him to abuse the range. Don't quote me on this, but I'm fairly sure his range is the best in the game (Ganon's may be longer, I don't remember).
Priority - Marth out-prioritizes most other characters, especially in the air. This makes juggles just a bit easier since Marth is harder to swat away while in the air than Roy.
Speed - Self-explanitory. He's faster and can get more hits in, juggle better, etc. It's not that Roy's slow, it's just that Marth's pretty damn fast.
F-smash of DOOM - While Marth's dragon slayer does less damage than Roy's f-smash, it has advantages over it's counterpart. It has greater reach, which makes it easier to be hit by. It still does a decent amount of damage, and it has greater knockback. Almost all of Marth's moves can chain into a fsmash, but that's also true for Roy.
That said, I agree with your point that he's too weak. (He'd be disgusting if he were stronger, though. XD) Also, Roy's counter and upB don't suck a** while Marth's do. (I cut the dolphin slash completely out of my game and only use it to recover.)
I personally like Roy, and I like it when people take the time to learn low-tier characters. I main as Zelda, and she's even lower on the tier list than Roy. XD
OO;;
If that's all true, then damn, I'm liek converting the next time I hold a controller in my hands.
The priority, speed, and fsmash, I completely agree with, but I sure didn't know anything about the range...I didn't notice it--I just thought that it was the same with Roy that wherever you hit the enemy with your blade, they go flying in different directions (Tip of blade, goes up, bottom of blade, goes far, In the middle, goes like all smashes)
With that said, I can easily agree with you that Marth is better. I remember the good times when I was a complete fifth grade newb and knew nothing about melee--just smash. I wanted a different character to be with, so I saw Marth and I played with him for a while...and even as a newb...he was pretty damn good! xDD The fsmash is amazing. Really.
Guess I chose Roy because I did blazer much more that time.
He is a bit weaker...that's why I usually have trouble winning the matches...but now, like I could actually miss the fsmash on fox and recover quickly without screaming and losing a stock. He is really fast. I just have trouble knocking them out for real. I like the counter though, honestly, I think it just gives me time to breathe--even if it's just like 7 or 6% damage.
Any hints?
