Of course, I agree on the "it depends on the player" thing, but these arguements come up all the time in the smash community.
"Oh, I beat my friend with this char so that means he's great ololololol....etc"
Did your neighbor or your bro ever enter a tournament? Win one? That gives your arguement absolutely ZERO credibility, aside from the aforementioned one.
Also, consider this. SephirothKen, widely considered to be the best Melee player in the world, plays Marth. So, yeah.
When comes down to it, Roy just doesn't bring as much to the table as Marth. More range, a stronger sweetspot, quickness, and a retarded good air game.
Roy? Slower, not a strong, damage/time ratio is too low, and he can damage himself. I think the choice is clear.
