Welcome to Part I of the New Years Special! A little thing I put together to thank each and every one of you for reading my madness throughout 2019, and looking forward to what's to come in 2020. Anyways, today, Spyro and Cynder are going up against the forgotten character of Fire Emblem, at least in terms of Smash representation. I'm talking Roy. So let's not waste a minute! Let's get this started!
Spyro: I can tell this is a Fire Emblem character. But I can't put my finger on their identity.
Ignitus: Hold on, here he is. His name is Roy. But he goes by the nickname "The Young Lion"
Spyro: "Young Lion"? Where'd he get that from? I guess the blazing red hair helps with the lion aesthetic, looking like a mane and all that.
Ignitus: No doubt the young part derives from him being rather young. Only about 15.
Spyro: Fifteen?! And already worthy to carry the Falchion? Now that is someone not to be messed with!
Ignitus: That's not a Falchion. It's called the Binding Blade. And it isn't really a Falchion counterpart either. It's really more like the Fire Emblem itself with the sheer power behind it, and it actually contains a version of it.
Spyro: Huh. Good to know. Wonder why we haven't seen more of him?
Ignitus: A lot of people seem to think he's a Marth clone. Even competitors in this very tournament.
Spyro: That seems frankly asinine.
Igntius: I am inclined to agree.
Spyro: So, how do I kick his tail?
Ignitus: Firstly, beware his sword. While the Binding Blade itself cannot kill, as it reflects the soul of the user. But it was especially made for piercing dragon scales. Keep your distance.
Spyro: Time to see what this kid can do!
