They should have just added a character from Fire Emblem: If that was a sword user. Then at least it would be a "new" character.
A multi-platform title that originally launched in arcades and was released on practically everything but your toaster is justification? I guess we should get Doom guy in the game then, I mean it WAS on the Nintendo 64.
Apples and oranges. Ness is a Nintendo character and Smash Bros is a game that celebrates Nintendo's wide history of IPs. Ryu isn't a Nintendo character, and unlike Sonic or Megaman his history of featuring in Nintendo exclusive products in almost nill. I'd argue that Snake also didn't really deserve a spot, but at the very least The Twin Snakes was still mildly recent when Brawl came out.
SFII sold 12 million on SNES, turned SF into an important franchise, and was a major exclusive during the 16 bit era. We wouldn't even have Smash if SFII didn't take off on SNES.
Anyway, I do see what you mean about the IP/3rd party issue. From what I remember Snake was put in Brawl because Kojima begged him to be put in melee but there was no time so they put him in brawl instead. I still think Ryu's got stronger ties to Nintendo than most capcom characters. (except phoenix wright)
Ryu huh? That's some questionable timing.

Lol
Capcom:
He's hidden in the code for the game.
Some of the logic being displayed against Ryu's inclusion is really strange when one considers the history of the franchise.
Ryu also puts to rest the apparent rule of one character per third party. Maybe characters like Eggman now have a shot?
They can't JUST put in Ryu without anything else relating to Street Fighter releasing on Wii U, right?
?
I spent too much time on that Miiverse picture. They HAVE to port it.
I am very curious to hear how Ryu got in. Did Ono's kid beg his dad? Did nintendo step forward first or was it capcom's idea?
I'm guessing to thank Capcom for putting Street Fighter and Monster Hunter on 3ds
well its time to thank squenix for KH3D then

Looks so nice. Please don't have any bullshit stage hazards! Don't you dare, Sakurai!
Time for another Sega rep.
I really think that people try to find politics where there probably aren't any.
Ryu is an iconic fighting character. Smash Bros. is an iconic fighting series. Nintendo and Capcom have always enjoyed a good relationship.
Sakurai probably just picked up the phone to Capcom.
