Why Roy is NOT I repeat NOT!!!! better than Marth!!!!!!!

[LemonManX]

Hmm... me sensing lots of people thinking Roy is better than Marth because they can beat Marth's with their Roy's.

How good are those Marth players? Marth has so many advantages over Roy its hardly even funny. Poor Roy, as a Roy player I cannot even defend him.

He is a fun character to play and I'll use him in special Low Tier tournaments. But in the big leagues I'm afraid Marth destroys Roy.  

[Soul the demon]

hes right roy may be good but marth is dangerous if you damage is to high he will kill you roy has to be really careful try to get to do something stupid then follow up quickly show him no mercy twisted  

[Magical Girl BunnyWinx]

The entire basis of this argument is moot.

The characters of SSBM cannot... CANNOT be ranked as being worse or better than any other character. The success of any given character is due ENTIRELY to the skill of the player.  

[LemonManX]

Can't they? Wasn't aware that was proven.

I will pay the fact that it can depend on skill, but there are some characters who are pretty bad. Roy is one of them, Marth has more options that Roy does in terms of combos.

Roy can be used like a novelty, plus he's fun to play. But Marth is better.

Roy was my original main, back when i sucked, so he'll always be dear to me lol but i eventually realized marth pwns roy especially due to ken lol but i still enjoy whipping roy out evey now and then its like playing with a handi cap smile  

[LemonManX]

Mmm Roy has novelty.  

[goanime33]

That video really proves nothing. Who knows if the person playing Roy is really bad or just sucked for the video. You never know. Besides I am roy and I bet Marth all the time. Like Magical Girl Yossy said, all it depends on is the player.  

[LemonManX]

Roy has less match-ups that can be weighed into his favour though.

I'm good with Roy too, but he's not better than Marth. Marth > Roy.

Also I can't believe someone called Vyse a dumb a**... anyway, Roy while fun to play as has a fair few cons to his style that Marth doesn't suffer from.  

[Spartan05089234]

Marth is my character. I used to use link, but he got annoying, so now I'm always white marth.
It sucks, though. the only person I know who can ever beat me at SSBM uses roy as his backup character, and he can win with him. (his main character is Cap'n Falcon, who he is pretty much god with.)  

[LemonManX]

Well, its not impossible to win with Roy.

But if your having trouble just remember Marth has the advantage. Tipper his rear-end to Hell. The phire can't save Roy from a Marth with enough skill.  

[Gear Sage]

OH YEA! MARTH PWNS!!! marth is also my favorite/best char. because he is fast and can pull off a lot of attacks for a short amount of time, to me nintendo sacrificed too much speed for power, so usually any of my friends who is really good at SSBM and with roy usually get mass murdered by me, because marth rulez!  

[A Pharmaceutical Bandit]

The only thing I will disagree with is SephirothKen being the best in the world.  

[crusnik 09]

roy is my favorite character since he has decent strength and range but marth lacks strength but makes it up in combos when u combine hime with the bunny ears making marth second but roy and marth's swords do more damage in certain places marth at the tip roy near the center

i dont see how sheik is the best

1) Items are not used professionally.
2) Shiek, if you want to judge by tier list, is not best.  

[ArcVyse]

Man, I posted this a year ago.

I would have the world believe Dope and his Falco is the best player in the world if I had my way wink

Fox and Falco are the two best characters in the game as they are the only two characters ranked in SBR's top tier for SSBM.

Roy players can get good, VERY good. Look up videos of NEO playing as Roy, he is considered the best Roy in the world.

Now look up videos of Neo playing in tournaments, instead of using Roy, he'll be using Marth and Sheik.

You have to ask yourself why he wouldn't play Roy in tournaments.
