Super Smash Bros. Melee

SmashWiki article:Ice Climbers (SSBM)

The Ice Climbers appear as a new, playable default character inSuper Smash Bros. Melee. The two are unique, as they fight as a team, but act as two separate characters. Depending on the alternate costume, the player can control either Popo or Nana, while the other is a computer player that copies their inputs and returns to the player when they are separated. The Ice Climbers attack simultaneously, and as they are two characters the player can grab two opponents and hold two items at once. If the second climber is KO'd, the leading one can still fight, but their attacks are not as powerful as they would be if both are present. However, if the player-controlled climber is KO'd, they are both sent back to the respawn platform. Also unique to the Ice Climbers is that they have normal traction on slippery ground.

Their neutral special move is Ice Shot, which sends out icicles toward the opponents. Their side special is Squall Hammer, in which the climbers spin around with their hammers. Their down special move is Blizzard, which has Popo and Nana send out a blast of cold air, briefly freezing an opponent if the opponent has high enough damage. Their up special move is Belay, in which one of the climbers throws the others into the air with a rope to pull the other up while damaging anyone who gets in the way of the attack; both Ice Climbers are put into a helpless state once the move finishes.

Both Popo and Nana are voiced by Sanae Kobayashi.

SmashWiki article:Ice Climbers (SSBB)

The Ice Climbers return to the series inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, retaining their moveset and attributes fromSuper Smash Bros. Melee. However, both Ice Climbers are able to grab a ledge at the same time; in the previous game, the other climber cannot grab on if one is already on the ledge. Their Final Smash is Iceberg, in which they create a large iceberg in the middle of the stage; it freezes any platform in the surrounding area and damages any opposing player who touches the iceberg, doing a heavy amount of damage and sometimes freezing them. Players can attack the iceberg to shrink it, though the iceberg shrinks completely after a period of time.

The Subspace Emissary

The Ice Climbers were first seen climbing upthe Glacial Peak, completely oblivious to the shootout between the Great Fox and theBattleship Halberd. However, they do seeMeta Knight climbing past them, trying to get to the Halberd. The Ice Climbers see this as a challenge, and race him to the top, managing to reach it first. However, they discover the AuraPokémonLucario up there, who challenges Meta Knight. Popo and Nana could only watch. Just after the battle, the Halberd rams the Great Fox into the mountain. While Meta Knight and Lucario take this chance to get inside the Halberd, the Ice Climbers fall into theCanyon, where they find themselves withMarth,Lucas, thePokémon Trainer, andIke. TheSubspace Army attacks them all, but they are saved byMario,Link,Yoshi,Kirby, andPit. The Ice Climbers eventually go toSubspace with all of the heroes, where they all get turned into trophies byTabuu. However, Kirby is then revived by a badge created byKing Dedede, so he saves Popo and Nana along with some other characters. The entire team then goes after Tabuu.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

The Ice Climbers do not return as playable characters inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, making them the only playable characters in the entire series that have been playable in more than one game before beingcut. The director of the games,Masahiro Sakurai, has stated this is because they were unable to run smoothly on the Nintendo 3DS version of the game, and that while the Ice Climbers were running perfectly in the Wii U version, they were cut as they were unlikely to get a new game and Sakurai didn’t want the Wii U version to have an exclusive character. Instead, they appear as a trophy in both versions of the game; the trophy is a random unlockable inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS; to unlock the trophy inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, the player has to KO his/her rival four times in a single Rival Smash match.

Icicle Mountain's theme fromSuper Smash Bros. Melee and Ice Climbers' theme fromSuper Smash Bros. Brawl returns in the Wii U version as alternate themes for theWrecking Crew stage, despite the characters being cut.

On a side note, thePolar Bears from their series appear as enemies in the 3DS-exclusive game mode,Smash Run.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Ice Climbers (SSBU)

The Ice Climbers, alongside allSuper Smash Bros. series veterans, return as unlockable playable fighters inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. They received many aesthetic changes, such as Nana being more expressive when Popo grabs an opponent, or vice-versa. The Ice Climbers also have 8 costumes, like all other characters in the game. On a side note, the Ice Climbers' victory theme has been shortened compared toSuper Smash Bros. Brawl.

The Ice Climbers retain their Final Smash fromSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, though it functions slightly differently: the iceberg now revolves, and no longer freezes opponents, instead only damaging them.

SmashWiki article:Pichu (SSBM)

Pichu is a playable fighter inSuper Smash Bros. Melee. It is an unlockable character, unlocked by beating Event Match 37:Legendary Pokémon, or by playing 200 Melee matches. Afterward, Pichu must be defeated in a match onPokémon Stadium.

Pichu's moveset is similar toPikachu's, though most of its attacks are weaker, and all of its electrical attacks also deal recoil damage. Pichu is also faster than Pikachu, but is the lightest character in the game, making it easily thrown off the stage. Its neutral special move is Thunder Jolt, which involves Pichu launching a ball of electricity rotating across the stage until it collides with an opponent. Its side special move isSkull Bash, which has Pichu charging up an attack before launching head-first across the screen, attacking any opponent it hits with a headbutt. Its down special move isThunder, in which Pichu calls down a bolt of lightning that appears from a cloud above it and strikes any fighters in its path to damage them; if the bolt strikes Pichu, any nearby fighters are damaged by it as well. Finally, Pichu's up special move is Agility, allowing Pichu to warp in the direction held on the control stick in a burst of speed, and again if the direction is changed during the move; however, unlike Pikachu's Quick Attack, it neither gives as much distance nor deals damage.

Pichu is the only character in the game to have two taunts, one for each direction it is facing. It is voiced bySatomi Kōrogi in both English and Japanese, who does its voice in thePokémon anime.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Pichu (SSBU)

Pichu, after being absent as a playable character in everySuper Smash Bros. game sinceSuper Smash Bros. Melee, returns as an unlockable playable fighter inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Like all other fighters in the game, it has aFinal Smash, Volt Tackle, which functions similarly to Pikachu's identically named move, although Pichu's version does recoil damage to itself, but is also stronger. Pichu gains a new on-screen appearance and two new taunts, and it vocalises during some animations.

Compared to its appearance inSuper Smash Bros. Melee, Pichu is faster, its aerial attacks have less landing lag, its short hop timing is reduced, it is heavier, its moveset (in addition to being slightly more differentiated from Pikachu's) has attacks that knock opponents back farther, many of its attacks deal more damage to opponents, and it does less damage to itself with electrical attacks (said attacks now cause around 0.4% damage each as opposed to 1–6%). Some of its attacks, however, are weakened.

SmashWiki article:Falco (SSBM)

Falco is a playable fighter inSuper Smash Bros. Melee. He is, however, unlockable, and is unlocked by beating 100-Man Melee or by playing 300 Melee matches, and then beating Falco onBattlefield. While his voice clips are mostly provided by Hisao Egawa, Ben Cullum voices Falco during the Adventure Mode Stage 6 cutscene or the Corneria Smash Taunt, and would later provide Falco's voice forStar Fox Adventures.

Falco's moves are exactly the same asFox's, though his special moves have different attributes. Falco's Blaster has more of a forceful effect but isn't rapid-fire, and his Reflector attack blasts people upwards instead of sideways. His side special, named Falco Phantasm, possesses a meteor smash effect when used in midair though it does not travel as far as Fox's Fox Illusion, and his up special, Fire Bird, does not have as much reach as Fox's Fire Fox but can deal more damage. In addition, Falco has more attack power and jumps higher than Fox, while running slower and falling faster. Falco is also heavier than Fox, though is still one of the lighter characters.

Falco also appears in Stage 6 of Adventure Mode. In this, he,Slippy, andPeppy will appear in their Arwings in the second half of the battle to shoot at both the player and Fox. Additionally, if Falco is unlocked, he will sometimes replace Fox in the second battle, forcing Fox into the Arwing.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

SmashWiki article:Falco (SSBB)

Falco returns as an unlockable character inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl. To unlock him, the player must to play 50 Brawl matches, complete 100-Man Brawl, or having him join the party in The Subspace Emissary after clearingThe Swamp; using one of the former two methods the player must then beat him onLylat Cruise to unlock him. His design has been changed, appearing more similarly to his appearance inStar Fox Command rather thanStar Fox 64, and is now voiced byDex Manley for the English version.

Falco's moveset has been altered for this game, differentiating him further from Fox. He kicks his Reflector forward rather than holding it in place, and his Falco Phantasm travels as far as Fox Illusion. HisFinal Smash is the Landmaster, in which he summons one of the vehicles to drive and attack opponents. Compared to Fox's Landmaster, this vehicle has weaker shots and battering damage, but a stronger barrel roll with less knockback, and the cannon shots deal more damage when opponents are standing on it. It also flies faster than Fox's, though it is the slowest on the ground.

Falco also has a Smash Taunt on theLylat Cruise stage as well as on the returningCorneria stage.

The Subspace Emissary

Falco's snapshot in The Subspace Emissary

In the Subspace Emissary, he appears afterBowser shootsDiddy Kong (and uses him and some Shadow Bugs to createFalse Diddy Kong) and almost shootsFox McCloud. Falco comes in withArwing and jumps out with his guns to shoot and destroy Bowser's Dark Cannon (causing Bowser to retreat) and sees False Diddy Kong, Fox revives Diddy Kong and they all fight the evil clone. After defeat, Falco attempts to leave but Diddy Kong tries to tells himDonkey Kong has been kidnapped and turned into a trophy. Falco however ignores him, so Diddy Kong grabs Falco and drags him, just as he did with Fox when he ignored Diddy Kong. After Falco understands, he jumps inside hisArwing so they can follow Donkey Kong. Falco drops Diddy Kong off on the plane Donkey Kong is on, and he (withCaptain Olimar andCaptain Falcon) rescues Donkey Kong. Falco flies by in his Arwing giving a thumbs up at Diddy Kong.

After this, he wasn't seen again until the battle at theBattleship Halberd Bridge, where he joins Fox,Peach,Zelda,Lucario, andSolid Snake in defeatingDuon. Once all of the teams unite, they enterSubspace, where they are defeated byTabuu, with Falco being among the victims.King Dedede, however, comes to his aid with the help ofLuigi andNess, who were revived by Dedede's badges and are helping him revive most of the others. The newly revived Falco then heads with the others to stop Tabuu atthe Great Maze once and for all.

Falco returns as a playable character inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, his moveset and appearance being largely unchanged from hisSuper Smash Bros.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Falco (SSBU)

Falco returns as an unlockable playable character inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, this time more closely resembling his appearance inStar Fox Zero. Compared to the previous installment, Falco receives improvements, such as increased mobility, decreased landing lag on his aerial attacks, faster special moves, and greater ability to knock opponents back for many of his attacks. However, Falco's damage output is slightly toned down overall. He has a new Final Smash, involving him leading an "unorthodox formation" ofArwings. Mark Lund reprises his role as Falco, though with newly recorded voice clips, such as saying "Come on!" rather than "Get some!" for his side taunt.

Several of Falco's attacks have names: down tilt is Tail Cutter, neutral aerial is Spinning Falco Chop, and down aerial is Corkscrew Meteor.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

SmashWiki article:Marth (SSBM)

Marth first appears in theSuper Smash Bros. series inSuper Smash Bros. Melee as an unlockable character. His design in this title is based upon the one used inFire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem. While Marth was a heavily requested character in Japan, he and his series were unknown to Western audiences beforeSuper Smash Bros. Melee. As such, he andRoy were originally planned to be Japan-exclusive characters, but were included in international versions due to insistence from Nintendo of America^[2], helping to introduceFire Emblem to the West. Marth can be unlocked by playing as every default character in a Melee match, using all of the default characters in Classic Mode, or by playing 400 Melee matches, and then defeating Marth when he challenges the player. Reflecting the series' Japan-only status at the time, Marth keeps his Japanese voice clips in all versions of the game; Marth is voiced byHikaru Midorikawa, reprising his role from the Japanese release of theFire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem OVA.

Marth is a fast character with average power and below-average weight. However, all of his attacks are stronger when hitting opponents closer to the tip of his sword. His standard special is Shield Breaker, a slash that can be charged to be more powerful that can also instantly break an opponent's shield when charged fully. His side special is Dancing Blade, a series of sword slashes that can be altered depending on the direction inputted on the control stick. His up special is Dolphin Slash, an upward slash that has Marth leaping into the air, damaging nearby opponents. Finally, his down special is Counter, in which Marth delivers a counterattack when hit, reflecting all damage and knockback back onto the opponent.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

SmashWiki article:Marth (SSBB)

Marth also appears inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, alongside fellowFire Emblem characterIke. He is unlocked by either playing 10 Brawl matches, clearing Classic Mode on any difficulty, or by meeting him inThe Subspace Emissary. For the first two methods, he will be fought afterwards, and must be defeated to be unlocked.

Although Marth's moveset is unchanged, his Shield Breaker has been changed to a move in which he thrusts his sword. He is also given aFinal Smash: Critical Hit, a single powerful hit that deals high damage and knockback to whoever it hits, in most cases resulting in a one-hit KO. In addition, the sweetspot on his sword has been made smaller, and his grab has a shorter range.

The Subspace Emissary

Marth is seen standing over a castle, looking down at the desert, and sees a Subspace Bomb exploding in the distance and creating a large hole in space that remains in the middle of the desert. Marth takes out his sword and runs over to it to inspect it, while defeating somePrimids along the way. As he finally approaches the Subspace Bomb-made hole,Meta Knight comes out of the sky and attacks Marth, thinking that he is an enemy. The two fight, until they are abruptly beset by a horde of Primids.

Marth's snapshot in The Subspace Emissary

The swordsmen begin cutting Primids in half, swiftly realizing that they are fighting for the same causing, and eventually end up back-to-back as they continue to fight off the Primid horde. As they eventually charge and begin beating back the swarm of Primids,Ike happens upon the scene and manages to stop theAncient Minister from dropping another Subspace Bomb. The trio of warriors then pursue him until he manages to get away.

Later, Marth and the others discover a strange tank in the middle ofThe Wilds. After a bit of hesitation, Marth follows the others towards the tank, which then reveals itself to beGalleom. After Galleom's initial defeat, it tries to get away, but ends up falling intoThe Ruined Hall. It eventually emerges carryingLucas and thePokémon Trainer into the sky while the Subspace Bomb in its body counts down to detonation. Lucas manages to free himself and the Pokémon Trainer from Galleom's grasp, and they are rescued from their fall by Meta Knight, tagging along with Marth's team for the duration.

Marth and his companions eventually arrive at the foot ofthe Glacial Peak, where they find Meta Knight's ship, theHalberd, attacking the Great Fox. Meta Knight leaves Marth's team to scale the mountain in an attempt to board the Halberd. After a while, theIce Climbers fall to where Marth and his team are, and are faced with more Primids until the group ofMario,Link,Yoshi,Kirby, andPit intervene.

Eventually, every character comes together to track down the evil's source inSubspace, discovering thatTabuu is the entity behind theSubspace Army. Everyone, including Marth, gets hit by Tabuu's Off Waves and turned into trophies. However,King Dedede had foreseen this happening, and created timed badges that revive whoever was wearing them. Reviving himself along withLuigi andNess using the badges, King Dedede heads off with his companions to rescue a majority of the others, Marth included, before settling the score with Tabuu.

SmashWiki article:Marth (SSBU)

Marth returns as an unlockable playable character inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, as with all previous characters. Unlike his previousSuper Smash Bros. appearances, and for the first time in the series, Marth is fully voiced in English. Yuri Lowenthal voiced Marth in the Nintendo 3DS gameCode Name: S.T.E.A.M. and the English-dubbedFire Emblem titles that followed and reprises his role inUltimate, providing newly recorded voice clips for the overseas release. His Japanese voice actor, Hikaru Midorikawa, reprised his role exclusively in the Japanese version, albeit with newly recorded voice clips this time rather than repurposed ones. Marth benefits from universal changes: he sports faster mobility, his short hop timing is reduced, his aerials have less landing lag, he can use directional air dodges once again, and he can use any ground attack out of a run and any aerial attack on a ladder.

On a side note, as with several other returning fighters, Marth's (as well as Roy and Ike's) victory theme has been sped up compared to the previous installments.

In the World of Light, Marth is seen when the fighters opposesGaleem for the first time; Marth is the one of fighters who can be unlocked earlier within the mode, alongsideMario,Villager andSheik.

Super Smash Bros.

Mewtwo was planned to be a playable character inSuper Smash Bros., but time constraints posed as an issue, so it was left out.^[3]

Super Smash Bros. Melee

SmashWiki article:Mewtwo (SSBM)

InSuper Smash Bros. Melee, Mewtwo is an unlockable character. Mewtwo appears after the player has played a total of twenty hours of Melee matches with one player, ten hours with two players, six hours and forty minutes with three players, and five hours with four players; alternatively, the player can play 700 Melee matches. Mewtwo must then be defeated onFinal Destination to be unlocked.

Mewtwo's moves are powerful and it can jump high, but it is a lightweight fighter, making it easier to launch, and it does not move as fast as other characters; while it has a high air speed, Mewtwo has a low fall speed and its running and walking speeds are low. Mewtwo also floats above the ground, making it an easy target to send flying and even KO at low damage percentages, and it also has low traction. Mewtwo also possesses a strong grab, and its throw moves pack a strong punch as well. Its standard special is Shadow Ball, which charges and fires a ball of dark energy, dealing electric energy. Its side special is Confusion, which tosses opponents onto the ground and damages them while deflecting projectiles (however, the reflected projectile does not damage opponents); the move can also bypass opponents' shields. Mewtwo's down special is Disable, which temporarily dazes any opponents that it is facing, damaging them; the move dazes opponents for longer if they have a higher damage percentage, and using Disable on an already dazed opponent causes them to fly off. If the move is used on an opponent in the air, then they will only briefly flinch. Finally, Mewtwo's up special is Teleport, which enables Mewtwo to disappear and reappear in a different location, similarly toZelda's Farore's Wind.

Mewtwo does not use its hands to hold items, usingtelekinetic powers instead, making the items hover before it. A similar style is seen when Mewtwo hangs on a cliff or grabs another character. The only time it does touch an item is when using theParasol. Mewtwo is voiced by Masachika Ichimura in both English and Japanese.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Mewtwo's trophy appearance inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl

Mewtwo is one of the five characters who did not return inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl as a playable character (the other four beingDr. Mario,Young Link,Pichu, andRoy).Data exists on the disc for Mewtwo as a playable character, however, meaning that at one point in development it may have been a character in the game. It does, however, have the appearance of a trophy, which can be obtained by completing All-Star Mode on Intense difficulty.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

SmashWiki article:Mewtwo (SSB4)

Originally, Mewtwo only appeared as a collectible trophy inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U. Additionally, a Mega Mewtwo X & Y trophy appeared exclusively forSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U.

During theSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza, however, Mewtwo was confirmed to appear as a downloadable fighter forSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U.^[4] It is one of three cut characters fromSuper Smash Bros. Brawl to return, alongsideDr. Mario andRoy (the latter also appearing as a downloadable fighter). Mewtwo was released publicly as paid content at theNintendo eShop on April 28, 2015, but players who had registeredSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U onto theirClub Nintendo account before the end of March 31, 2015 received free download codes for Mewtwo on April 15, 2015. Mewtwo's design as a playable character in this game is closer to its current appearance, and it is now voiced byKeiji Fujiwara. The tagline for Mewtwo'sSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Super Smash Bros. for Wii U trailer, "Mewtwo Strikes Back!", is a reference to the name of thefirstPokémon movie.

While Mewtwo's moveset is identical to that of itsSuper Smash Bros. Melee incarnation, it has been given aFinal Smash: Psystrike, in which it Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y and fires a large ball of psychic energy across the screen in the direction Mewtwo is facing, stunning any opponents in its path; the stunned opponents then take heavy damage and are launched away as Mewtwo returns to normal. Some of Mewtwo's other moves have also been altered: for instance, projectiles deflected while performing Confusion can deal damage to opponents, and using Disable on a dazed opponent no longer directly sends them flying, instead dealing a significant amount of damage. Mewtwo is also much lighter (only being heavier thanJigglypuff), and moves faster than inSuper Smash Bros. Melee, while keeping its attack power. Additionally, Mewtwo still offers one of the highest air speed attributes in the game, losing only toYoshi and Jigglypuff, but its high air speed is offset by very low air acceleration, and its falling speed is above average as well.

When Mewtwo is downloaded, it can appear in all the solo game modes, except for Events. In All-Star mode, Mewtwo appears betweenDiddy Kong andPikachu. However, Mewtwo's inclusion has no effect on any of the challenges.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Mewtwo (SSBU)

Mewtwo reappears as an unlockable playable character inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Mewtwo's mobility is improved, while its double jump is made faster. Mewtwo's aerial attacks have less landing lag, while its short hop timing is reduced; Mewtwo's smash attacks knock opponents back farther, while some moves deal more damage.

Several of Mewtwo's attacks receive names: its down tilt is Tail Sweep, its forward smash is Shadow Blast, its up smash is Galaxy Force, its down smash is Shadow Bomb, its standard aerial is Body Spark, its forward aerial is Shadow Scratch, its forward throw is Shadow Cannon, and its up throw is Psychic Whirlwind.

Mewtwo also makes an appearance in the World of Light's opening cutscene, where Mewtwo attempts to deflectGaleem's large laser attack by using Confusion along withZelda, but fails, with both of them getting eliminated by the lasers and turned into dark clones.

Mewtwo'sfighter spirit uses its artwork fromPokémon Global Link. One of its Mega Evolution forms, Mega Mewtwo Y, also appears as an Ace-class primary spirit.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

SmashWiki article:Roy (SSBM)

Roy is an unlockable character inSuper Smash Bros. Melee, unlocked by beating Classic or Adventure Mode asMarth or by playing 900 Melee matches, then by defeating him onTemple. During development, Nintendo of America andMasahiro Sakurai discussed possibly removing Roy for the Western release of the game, but ultimately decided to keep him in.^[5] Roy's moves are similar to Marth's, but are strongest at the hilt of his blade. In general, Marth's sweetspotted attacks are stronger than Roy's, but the sweetspot on Roy's sword is larger. As an aesthetic detail, some of Roy's moves deal fire damage, reflecting the fire powers of his sword inFire Emblem: The Binding Blade. Roy is voiced by Jun Fukuyama; like Marth, all of his voice clips are kept from the Japanese release, reflecting the Japan-only status of theFire Emblem series at the time.

Roy's neutral special move is Flare Blade, which has Roy charge a sword strike that deals an explosion; fully charged, Roy's Flare Blade is capable of instantly KO-ing any opponent, though Roy also takes recoil damage. His side special move is Double-Edge Dance, which is similar to Marth's Dancing Blade in that Roy performs a series of four sword slashes, and can change the attack by angling the control stick at certain points; in addition, the third down hit and the final hit for all directions deal fire damage, and the third up hit is ameteor smash rather than the third down hit. His up special move is Blazer, which sends Roy into the air as he slashes upward, dealing fire damage to opponents. Finally, his down special move is Counter, which deals more damage than Marth's version of the move (1.5× damage) but is slower and does not remain active as long.

In this game, Roy (along withGanondorf andSheik) does not appear as an opponent in the game's Classic Mode. As a result, his introduction image for Classic Mode goes unused.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Roy's only appearance inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl is as aSticker, depicting his regular appearance inFire Emblem: The Binding Blade. It increases the power of slashing attacks by 24.

While Roy is not a playable character in the game, files for Roy exist on the game disc, indicating that hemay have been planned to be a playable character at one point.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

SmashWiki article:Roy (SSB4)

Roy is a downloadable character along withMewtwo,Lucas,Ryu,Corrin, andBayonetta inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, released the same day as Lucas and Ryu, on June 14, 2015. His appearance in this title is primarily based on hisGreat Lord design inFire Emblem: The Binding Blade, while taking elements from his appearance as downloadable content inFire Emblem Awakening. His voice actor fromSuper Smash Bros. Melee, Jun Fukuyama, reprises his role for this game, giving Roy new voice clips.

Like inSuper Smash Bros. Melee, Roy's attacks are strongest when hitting closer to the hilt of the blade, with yellow sword trails that indicate the sweetspot on his sword similar toMarth. While his special moveset has not changed from his previous appearance, some of Roy's other moves and animations have been altered to further differentiate him from Marth. He also moves faster than he does inSuper Smash Bros. Melee, especially while in the air, though he is also heavier than before. In addition, as a result of the redesign, Roy is around the same height as Marth rather than being shorter, though his attacks still do not reach as far. Finally, Roy has been given aFinal Smash: Critical Hit, which operates differently from Marth andLucina's version of the attack and involves him swinging his sword overhead to trap opponents before slashing and launching them with a large blast; like with Marth and Lucina's Critical Hit, cosmetic health bars designed after the ones fromFire Emblem Awakening appear at the end of the move, showing the opponents' health drop rapidly to 0. The move is based on Roy's critical hit animation when using the Binding Blade inFire Emblem: The Binding Blade.

Additionally, one of Marth'salternate costumes resembles Roy's original appearance.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Roy (SSBU)

Roy reappears as an unlockable playable character inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, retaining his appearance and several of his moves fromSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andWii U. Additionally,Chrom is playable, being an Echo Fighter of Roy. Similarly to Marth, Roy's voice is now dubbed in English for the overseas release, being voiced byRay Chase who reprises his role from the mobile gameFire Emblem Heroes onwards. Flame effects are now included in more of Roy's attacks, further referencing his sword's fire powers. Roy receives benefits from universal changes, having faster mobility; reduced landing lag in his aerials and short hop timing; a greater recovery, due to the reintroduction of directional air dodges and his increased air speed; and a greater offensive play, due to the abilities to use any grounded attack out of a run and using aerial attacks on ladders, as well as his own attacks dealing more knockback.

On a side note, as with several other returning fighters, Roy's (as well as Marth and Ike's) victory theme has been sped up compared to the previous installments.

In the World of Light, Roy's puppet fighter is found on Galeem's side in the Final Battle area alongsidePalutena andMaster Hand, and must be awoken to progress the story.
