Reference excerpt

Roy (Japanese: ロイ, Hepburn: Roi) is a character from Nintendo and Intelligent Systems' Fire Emblem video game series, who first appeared in the 2001 crossover fighting game Super Smash Bros. Melee, along with fellow Fire Emblem character Marth. He is the lead character of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, the son of Eliwood and heir presumptive of Pherae who eventually becomes a major military leader. He has also appeared in other Fire Emblem games. The inclusion of Roy and Marth in Melee is cited as one of the reasons Nintendo started localizing the series for international distribution. Roy was designed by Eiji Kaneda and voiced by Jun Fukuyama in Japanese and by Ray Chase in English. The designers intended Roy to be a free-spirited character who would appeal to younger players, which they felt contrasted with earlier titles' protagonists. His personality differs from his appearance in Melee, where Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai believed that he was an energetic and internally strong character, only to discover that this was not the case after playing the game. Roy received negative reception for his appearance in The Binding Blade, with critics noting his poor gameplay attributes. His inclusion in Super Smash Bros. was also criticized due to his similarity to other Fire Emblem characters also included, as well as his similarity to them in terms of gameplay.

Appearances Roy is the lead character of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. The story begins when King Zephiel, ruler of the kingdom of Bern, begins invading neighboring nations, added by the Dark Priestess Idunn. Roy, the son of Pherae's ruling marquess Eliwood, returns home, becoming assigned to defend against Zephiel in his father's place due to illness. Along his quest, he is joined by several allies, including princess Lilina and his retainers, Marcus and Merlinus. He later learns that Idunn was forced to fight to destroy humanity by Zephiel. The player can find legendary weapons and the titular Binding Blade in optional chapters. If all are obtained, Roy is able to defeat Idunn without killing her, freeing her from being under control. The next installment after The Binding Blade, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, is a prequel featuring a younger Eliwood as one of its protagonists. Roy appears during the game's epilogue, where Eliwood reunites with his comrade Hector and their respective children are introduced to each other. Roy is available as a playable character in Fire Emblem Awakening as DLC. Roy also appears in Fire Emblem Heroes. In North American Fire Emblem character popularity polls running up to the release of Fire Emblem Heroes, Roy was ranked the second favorite male character behind Ike . He later appears as an Emblem character in Fire Emblem Engage. Roy's first video game appearance was in 2001's Super Smash Bros. Melee, where his gameplay was based on Marth's, another Fire Emblem character featured in the game. He is more powerful and slower than Marth. He was later reintroduced into the series as downloadable content (DLC) for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U after being absent from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. His inclusion in the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS entries was reportedly leaked, alongside Ryu. He also appears as part of the base roster in the series' 2018 entry, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. To promote his appearance in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, an amiibo figure of Roy was featured as an exclusive release at GameStop. In 2019, plushies depicting Roy and other Fire Emblem characters were released. Roy appears in the Fire Emblem: The Champion's Blade manga, which was first published prior to the release of The Binding Blade and takes place concurrently with the events of the game.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Roy (Fire Emblem)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Roy (Fire Emblem) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Roy (Fire Emblem) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Roy (Fire Emblem) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Roy (Fire Emblem)

In research: Roy (Fire Emblem) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Roy (Fire Emblem) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Roy (Fire Emblem) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Fictional characters with fire or heat abilities, Fictional lords and ladies, Fictional swordfighters in video games, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Roy (Fire Emblem) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
