Marth vs Roy

[Blob123789]

Hey guys,
In ssb4 I main marth and since Roy came out I was considering buying Roy. Who do you guys think is better between the two?

Roy without a doubt. Roy draws his power from the base of his sword, which helps with up close combat and opposite to marth who likes using the tip. Plus Roy gets fire on his attacks and his moves deal a lot of damage and kill pretty early. In melee marth used to be surperior but in this game Roy dominates marth

Roy definitely! Roy has lots of power up close and kinda far away. His power is just amazing and his special cal kill very early like at 50 percent (If the special is fully charged) And he is just better

Well, even if you didn't know, you should have guessed Roy due to the tier list and because he is a DLC and DLCs are better than most characters

Roy has a lot of destructive power with his sword, and has lots of synergy by dominating other characters easily with knockback.

Roy is significantly more stronger than Marth. It's much easier to land a powerful smash than trying to get in the perfect spot for the tipper. His meteor smash is easier to land, like Ike's, and even though his neutral special doesn't room him forward like Marth's, it does way more damage, especially fully charged. Roy offers a move set left in Melee, and it's great to have him back.

Marth benefits from hitting with the sword tip, Roy benefits by hitting with the hilt of the blade.

If you're trying to hit an opponent with the tipper, one step and you could miss, making tip hits on Marth an all or nothing deal. But if you're trying to hit with the hilt, one step and you're still going to nail them with a slightly less powerful part of the sword (assuming this is Roy).

That alone makes Roy objectively better.
