Roy (our boy) & Ryu confirmed for Smash Bros

To be honest, he's kinda right. I can see them telling us in tomorrow's direct that Ryu was chosen because he won the ballet. :(
That would be awkward then if people just started voting for different characters in the ballot, since it's not over yet.

He's not right, he's an idiot haha

He's really not, because I imagine the ballot is going to be used going forward, when it's actually finished. These characters are nothing to do with the ballot.

The salt in that post is glorious, especially since most of the characters there don't have a chance of getting in.

Except King.K.Rool please Sakurai give us a new Super Heavyweight Villain rep

Haha oh god. I'd put Ryu easily over any of these characters, maybe except Isaac.
I just re-read that & noticed they mentioned SHOVEL KNIGHT.

Yeah, no, I really liked the game, but in comparison to the 3rd party guests we've had already, he's easily the least known. Plus the Sony & MS versions got extra content with their OWN characters (Kratos & Battletoads).

Ryu is pretty kickass, but Roy? Seriously?

Not someone 10x deserving like Squirtle or Ivysaur? Both of those are originals! I'm disappointed in you Sakurai.

There is no "winning the poll". The ballot is designed for them to gauge demand and decide if the characters are viable. It's not a "Character with most votes gets in" scenario

Yeah I checked it again, forgot how the polling was actually.

Regardless don't mind these selections and if not for this leak and the prior one. This would have been quite the shake up.

What I meant was that Ike is the same from brawl, Marth and Roy are the same as well, and lucina is a new character but she is another Marth. Robin not only is brand new but also original. Lucina should have had her own unique moves at the very least, and the older characters maybe tweak a bit. If it was only Marth and Roy the same then fine, plus they came from melee. But lucina being brand new, she deserved her moves, plus she is nothing like Marth in awakening
 
I serious can't see how some people are so upset about Ryu. It's one thing to call him a boring addition, but to act like this is some huge stretch by Nintendo and Sakurai is just silly. I'm looking forward to the DLC (bar Roy). Like others here I'm just hoping the Rhythm Heaven DLC isn't attached to any stage but just floating in the code kind of how the Miiverse songs have been already.

As far as I'm aware Miiverse already has six songs lined up, so we'll see.

Ryu’s voice files essentially confirm the presence of a super meter/EX mechanic, and I’m incredibly happy about that. Here’s how I figured it would work a few months back:

Dishing out damage and getting hit builds your super meter, which has three segments. EX Specials are performed by holding the B button instead of tapping it, and they deplete one bar of the super meter. Hold B for the Shakunetsu Hadoken (flaming fireball), side B for the EX Tatsumaki Senpukyaku (covers more distance for a good horizontal recovery), and up B for the EX Shoryuken (covers more distance for a good vertical recovery). Holding B with a full super meter unleashes the Shinku Hadoken, a powerful multi-hitting projectile.

Do we think these are going to be available after the Direct tomorrow? Odd so much, like the alts have leaked.

Roy probably.
Ryu...maybe? Would be exciting as fuck. But then what would we have to look forward to next? I imagine they're going to leave at least one character up for a future release.

I hope Ryu's amiibo is used in other games.

Ryu Yoshi in Woolly World
Ryu costume for Mario Kart 8
Ryu headband for Splatoon

See, this stuff just makes me sad anymore.

So much hate thrown at this man despite all of the incredible work he puts into these games. Smash 4 now has over 50 characters! It's ridiculous.

It'd be easier to ignore if this was all just dumb immature kids, but we see a decent amount of this (though better hidden) even here on NeoGaf. Poor Sakurai.

To me, Ryu is the most interesting character in the game so far.
 
There are indeed two Rhythm Heaven songs in the patch, and it might be happening, but we're not out of the woods yet - there's a chance they could be used for the Miiverse stage, which would kill all of our dreams. :(

But if they're not used in Miiverse... the Rhythm Heaven hype will be unstoppable.

*thinking of what I want* :')

*thinking of what will probably happen* :'(

I mean like... He isn't wrong but at least Ryu is original in how he plays. We got Marth, Estrogen Marth and now Melee Marth.

He's wrong because Ryu and Roy have nothing to do with the ballot.

What I meant was that Ike is the same from brawl, Marth and Roy are the same as well, and lucina is a new character but she is another Marth. Robin not only is brand new but also original. Lucina should have had her own unique moves at the very least, and the older characters maybe tweak a bit. If it was only Marth and Roy the same then fine, plus they came from melee. But lucina being brand new, she deserved her moves, plus she is nothing like Marth in awakening

Lucina was never going to be an original character, she's just an upgraded costume for Marth.

I think his stage looks bland.

Two long platforms and two small ones with what looks to be a walk off.

Can someone explain this?

She should not have been. Maybe even delay her and make her, her own character. Like if this was Ryu and lucina being revealed (lucina being different) it would be awesome

Lucina wouldn't have been in the game as a playable character at all if she was anything but a clone. Sakurai explained this already.

Blame Japan. All three of them are insanely popular there.

Either go all in or not at all. Marth and Roy from the get go makes sense, then later let's say bring lucina with Ryu and make her original
 
I get some people being mad about Roy, but I feel like they're going to try and add everyone from past games. Totally won't be surprised if we get Wolf, Ice Climbers, Ivysaur, and Squirtle at this point. Pichu...haha, we'll see! Would be cool for no one to be cut once the DLC is all said and done.
 
Honestly, as long as these aren't the last batch of DLC, I am more than okay with Roy. Gonna feel good to boot up a game of Mewtwo vs. Roy vs. Dr. Mario vs.
Ice Climbers
 

Boss Doggie

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
So reading the voice clips we got hadouken, shakunetsu hadouken, tatsumaki senpuu kyaku, shinkuu tatsumaki senpuu kyaku, shoryuken, shin shoryuken, and the focus grunt

I still wonder how to get shakunetsu and shinkuu tatsumaki, I guess hold B button? Or maybe he has an ex bar and when he performs the final smash with a full ex bar he does shinkuu hadouken instead?
