There would be no reason to ship these files if they weren't.

Well there goes some E3 hype. I should read up on data mining.

I mean, we're still doing this dance, ten years after Snake?

Ryu is the new Snake.
It applied to Snake as well.

Its not Capcoms fault that nintendos hardware always seems to be doing its on thing. I really hope the NX combines the eccentricities of nintendo with the desired hardware of third party pubs so we can see games like SF back on a nintendo platform. A system like that would be the only system Id need.
Yeah snake was odd but his moves suited the game, it was a funny implementation.
This is like dropping a piranha in a goldfish tank. Maybe the piranha has had its teeth smoothed out a bit.
I think people who play smash seriously as a fighter (as opposed to a party brawler) would like the addition though.
something tells me Ryu's gonna be the new Mac. People think he's shit the first day, god tier the following week, shit again for the rest of the game's life cycle.

And people got over it, because it was lame to keep crying over it, especially when Snake ended up being a unique and enjoyable fighter in the end. And it applies 10x to Snake. Ryu makes way more sense as an inclusion to Smash, especially given that the theme behind this one's 3rd party inclusion seem to be 'retro progenitors', and Ryu can stand right alongside Mega Man, Pac Man, and Sonic there.
A SF has been on almost every Nintendo console and Handheld. It was a major Snes system seller, Wii got an exclusive SF (one of the best) and many SF's are on the virtual console for Wii U.
Again, it's not just about the present. Pac-Man and Mega Man aren't in Smash Bros. because they're super relevant to Nintendo in 2015 -- they're gaming icons with historical links to Nintendo, just like Ryu.
Ryu fits in more than snake though(love snake). Heck mario's moveset over the years is essentially ryu lite lol

This kind of thinking would prevent smash from grabbing more players. I've said before only reason I even got into smash and Nintendo was because of snakes inclusion in brawl. With the rules and ideals fans try to push on smash I'm kind of glad sakurai does his own thing. Can't imagine where we would be at with smash with regular character selection. Oh nice another safe character as opposed to something that shakes things up.

hahaha oh wow lol Nintendo
Stages are going to be the most interesting. I hope they're maybe $2 at the most, then if you want both systems, $3. Kind of was hoping maybe $1.50 for one, then $2 for both, but I highly doubt that.
I kind of hope at this rate, with 3 characters possibly coming out on the same day, we'll get a bundle, but looking at the bundle for the first set of Mii Fighter outfits, you won't actually save money buying them all together (though still saving money if you buy both instead of separate systems).

This isn't true. He created fighting games, and SF2 was one of the biggest SNES games. None of the 3rd parties have anything to do with Nintendo lol
Also to that last part, no! Nintendo's only fighting games is Smash, which was inspired by Street Fighter (Ryu's game)

Hey, remember how songs had to be less than 2 minutes?
Well that doesn't apply to Fountain of Dreams, thank god.
Just listened to the rip, and it's identical to Melee.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
So next is the pong paddle sprite? I'm sorry, its just my personal opinion, I adore smash brothers because of its love of Nintendo's legacy, and these reveals are usually followed by me having to look up the characters history in Nintendo's pantheon and discussing how true to the characters origin the new models are.. now they are going the Sony smash brothers route of just having characters from where ever to both advertize other games and fill out its roster.『Inaba Resident』;167629821 said:
fair enough, although it was on everything, even the Atari 2600 somehow.

Was going to be 5$ per character but since the leak, 35$ per character.
Boss please. Search your feelings, deep down you know he will return along with someone else.

Yeah I don't get it either and besides he's a good character I don't give a shit if he has nothing to do with Nintendo. All good gaming icons should be in Smash. Hoping for Snake and Cloud next. =P

But it sold way more on the SNES, to the point where it's one of the best selling games in history, and the best selling version of any street fighter game.
And we do have a pong paddle! You can't make this shit up lol

Gotta be honest, pretty cool that they are gonna upload all three characters together. Thought Nintendo would space them out.

Yeah, I see where you're coming from. As much as Ryu deserves a place and all, it's pretty frustrating that the first DLC newcomer isn't even a Nintendo character when there are still plenty of Nintendo franchises that aren't even represented by stage yet, from Rhythm Heaven to Wonderful 101 to Chibi-Robo.
Guy from stealth game = fits in fighting game
Guy from fighting game = does not fit in fighting game that already has a boxer in it

I won't lose any sleep at all, lol. It was just an assumption on my part.
I do look forward to how StarFox Wii U will be, though.

I like the Ice Cream Island section of "Butter Building Ver. 2" better, but I'm glad that this got to get its own remix, too. That game had some great music.
Hahaha this is getting sad.

Surprised to not seen the Green Greens Retro Medley from the 3DS still not used at all on the Wii U.
I would have expected it with Dreamland 64.
