Hackers add Roy to Super Smash Bros. Brawl

**R.O.B.** · 2nd July 2009

Smashboards forum user goodoldganon wasn't satisfied with all of the characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. His main contention with the game was that it lacked several key Melee characters. So, he did what any sensible member of society would do: ~~He wrote a letter to Nintendo~~ He hacked the crap out of the game.

As evidenced in the videos past the break, this isn't merely a texture swap, as goodoldganon also incorporated Roy's moves into the game. By delegating the hack to a certain color set of Marth's (here it's the red suit), he can pick Roy at will and seamlessly integrate him into the game. Sure, the bottom of the screen still says Marth, but, for all intents and purposes, this is the Roy you remember.

It's impressive stuff, to say the least, so head past the break and check out the footage of a fighter's return to the arena.

This appeals to me, he was my favourite character in Melee, Ike is too slow/clunky

**Jogurt the Yogurt** · 2nd July 2009

But I wanna play as red Marth!

digiki · 2nd July 2009

Roy's our boi!

Roy was pretty awesome, sure he only had pretty much 2 kill moves, but he had teh phire!

Also he was much more stylish than Marth.

Joxe · 2nd July 2009

Give Dr. Mario hack and I might consider starting the game again.

Earl_Wiggles · 2nd July 2009

Roy should have been there from the start, ditch some of the other crap *cough* Nes *cough*

Tides of Chaos · 2nd July 2009

Good idea, bad execution. Did you guys see the videos? That doesn't look like the Roy I remember move wise. Those attacks seemed too much like Marth's still, too fast, not strong enough, etc. But it's a fan-made hack so what can you expect.

I never find Ness that bad not like a certain Konami Character where his special attacks are arkward to use

Hey hey hey! Ness was actually a pretty good character in this game. Unlike in Melee where he was practically useless.

I actually preferred Marth over Roy, cuz his sword was all fiery and he could do some insane combos. This was a pretty bad hack though. It's nothing more than a pallet-swap of Marth. The final version doesn't even have his fire effects!

When's someone gonna make a Youtube hack?

You can play as the NES? How do you unlock it?

Marth is stronger than Roy, Roy has trouble killing things without his F-smash, or his somewhat charged neutral-b. Marth on the other hand is top class in melee.

Marth is stronger than Roy? My memory isn't THAT bad is it? I could have sworn Roy was slow and had crushing A attacks (and B attacks too) while Marth was the guy who ran in, did a few quick swipes, and then ran off.

Mickeymac · 3rd July 2009

Was that even necessary? He's just Marth with Fire attacks. Doesn't sound that hard to do.

Clayfrd · 3rd July 2009

A bit too much time on one's hands results in such foolishness. I suppose it deserves at least some amount of praise for the mere technical prowess it would require.

Pit 42 · 3rd July 2009

Or you could just...you know...play Melee...

Then just try your hand at Snake again. You'll get it. Payoff is huge, too.
