About

Roy's Our Boy is a cheer popular among fans of the Super Smash Bros. series of fighting games to refer to the character Roy from Fire Emblem.

Origin

Roy debuted in the second installment of the Super Smash Bros. series, Super Smash Bros. Melee.[1] In every Smash Bros. game, an audience will occasionally cheer for a player. In Melee, if a player is using Roy, the crowd will cheer "Roy's our boy".[2]

Spread

The cheer has become popular with fans of the character Roy. One of the earliest instances of quoting the cheer was on the Super Smash Bros. forum Smashboards in a 2001 thread debating the character's effectiveness.[3] Over 490 instances of the phrase can be found on the website.[4]

Because they share the same name, the phrase Roy's Our Boy is sometimes associated with the character Roy Koopa from the Super Mario series. This was referenced in a promotional tweet made by Nintendo of Europe's Twitter account, which was favorited over 200 times.
