Smash ballot "discussed", Ryu won the vote, please look forward to seeing him in August. To tide you over we're planning on brining back a fan favourite in July. Please take a look.

I see them discussing it and Ryu not being a part of it. I think they'll hint at what characters are bring voted in. If not now, then during the digital event.

It's highly unlikely Smash will be mentioned in the Digital Event. That's why we have this presentation today

Sounds like the opening act to the hit new sitcom, That's So Sakurai

*cut to title montage with yellow font on screen — "STARRING" — followed by a shot of Sakurai walking through a door and looking surprised as he notices the camera, followed by a shot of Sakurai waking up, yawning, and smiling at the camera, followed by a shot of Sakurai holding a door open for someone carrying groceries, and waving at the camera. For each shot it says, "Masahiro Sakurai."*

FIRST SCENE: Sakurai's office at the Bandai-Namco HQ. Sakurai is leaning back in his chair, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. His brow is furrowed as he considers something.

FEMALE VOICE: "Well... What do you think?"

*cut to shot of Female Designer, wearing lacy lingerie*

FEMALE DESIGNER: "I worked extra hard designing the Smash Bra and Smash Panties you said were necessary research for DLC."

*Sakurai says something incredibly long in Japanese*

SAKURAI (subbed): "Nice."

*At that moment, Sakurai notices his wife pull into the office parking lot. She wasn't supposed to be working today, but it appears she's surprising the employees with bagels! Sakurai shoots a glance at Female Designer. How would he explain this?*

*In his panic, Sakurai starts rifling through design documents on his desk. There must be something he could say to justify this. "DLC research" will not pass muster with the waifu.*

*In his scramble, Sakurai accidentally hits the giant red button on his desk.*

GLADOS FROM PORTAL: "The Roy and Ryu patch has gone live."

*Sakurai lets loose a long string of words in Japanese*

SAKURAI (subbed): "Dammit!"

Why did you put Sakurai in this story about itagaki

Why do I keep seeing people here and elsewhere relate Ryu, Roy, or any of this to the fan ballot? Voting doesn't close until October. No DLC character thus far could have had anything to do with the ballot results.

Besides that, Ryu and Roy would have had to begin development quite awhile ago - way before the ballot was even launched - to be ready by now.

We'll see. I think today's presentation is just about the content we're getting soon. I don't think it's crazy to expect Smash to get a couple minutes in the digital event for a big future announcement or hint.

While I agree in this case, we shouldn't assume that they're just going to ignore the ballot until October. It's not a "Look who won" scenario. They'll be looking at it constantly to gauge demand and see who is viable and maybe start work on them ahead of time.

Na, it'd be redundant. They want the Digital Event to just be new games. It's not a Nintendo Direct.

Nintendo's website specifically states the Smash presentation is to detail what's in the new update.

They might not say anything significant, but I think it's likely Smash's long term future is hinted at or at the very least mentioned in the Digital Event. You don't agree, and that's fine, but it seems like they will to me. So we'll see.

I missed quite a lot of stuff while I was out. Woah, SF inputs for Ryu!? Amazing to hear that. And they make his attacks stronger, I guess if you want to master his character, learning them is essential.

Anyway,hyped for the Direct!

I may actually be buying a Wii U now. Good on ya Nintendo. Smash with Ryu would push me just over the edge. Plus I could finally play Wind Waker.

How about some screenshots in the OP? On 3DS over here...

How are they distinguishing the Roys?

Still think Ryu is a boring choice.

Also no hype for Roy. IMO the concept of having your top damage at the sword hilt is plain stupid. Maybe they have turned him into one of those hard to grasp characters, else Failed Marth will once again linger at the bottom of my list.

A fucking YouTube comment just spoiled me who Masked Man was... And I'm playing mother 3...
All I was looking for where Ness Victory Theme came from.

I mean, that sucks and all, but it's kind of purposely obvious who it is from the first moment you see him. Which is sort of the point of him as an antagonist. Just sayin'.

I haven't gotten to that part yet. That is why I'm showing frustration. I thought it was supposed to be "Mysterious"

Ah ok, I understand now. I haven't played it in years so can't remember exactly when Masked Man is introduced. Well, to be honest, it's not a huge story spoiler to know his identity, let's just say. Enjoy the rest of the game, it's a hell of a ride.

This is being discussed in the Roy/Ryu thread, and someone mentioned the general FGC might find it of note. Of course, I don't expect someone who doesn't like Smash to suddenly like it because of this. However, this is an interesting development for a series that has historically stuck to its streamlined control scheme of attacking with A or B plus a direction. I'm interested to hear what others think of this!

To be clear: You can still perform Ryu's moves with Smash-style inputs. For example, tapping B can unleash a hadoken (the SF wiki spells it without a "u," so that's how I'll spell it for now). Tapping Up + B can perform a shoryuken. And so on. But if you perform the original inputs for Ryu's moves, you'll get a boost in performance. For example, a QCF hadoken is 25% stronger. Also: Ryu in Smash differentiates between tapping a button and holding a button, for weak and strong variants of attacks, with three levels of power.

From the in-game tips (which appear on loading screens, or in the tips area):

Hadoken
A projectile from a world-class fighting game. Hold down the button to vary how fast it travels. It’ll disappear after a set distance.

Hadoken
Input the commands from the original series to increase the Hadoken’s power. Use it in midair to make Ryu glide slightly.

Hadoken
Quickly input down, down-forward, forward for 1.25x power. You might have to practice a bit to really figure out howtodo a Hadoken.

Hadoken
Input back, down-back, down, down-forward, forward to unleash a fiery Shakunetsu Hadoken that can deal multiple hits.

Shoryuken
When you enter the original commands, Ryu is momentarily invincible, the move is stronger and looks different…and his shout even changes!

Shoryuken
Input the commands from the original series to become invincible until the move is complete. The move needs no recovery time after landing.

Shoryuken
Input forward, down, down-forward for 1.2x attack power. Think you can pull it off? SURE YOU CAN!

Tatsumaki Senpukyaku
Ryu will float up slightly when using this move after a jump, making this spinning side kick great for recovering.

Tatsumaki Senpukyaku
Input the commands from the original series to power up the attack. One thing to remember: you can’t use it repeatedly in midair.

Tatsumaki Senpukyaku
Enter down, down-back, back for 1.16x power. Increasing the strength also increases the move’s speed and travel distance.

Focus Attack
Ryu will hold his stance until you release the button or a certain amount of time has passed. Then he’ll unleash the punch.

Focus Attack
By turning the opposite way the moment Ryu punches, he will strike in that direction instead.

Focus Attack
Hitting an opponent with the fully charged version of this move will make them slowly crumple. Time for a follow-up attack!

Focus Attack
You can cancel this move by pressing left or right twice quickly, either while charging or right after the punch connects.

Focus Attack
Ryu can take one hit while readying for this move. This is true until right before he attacks, even when charging the move to maximum power.

Side Smash Attack
Ryu steps forward and unleashes his Joudan Sokutogeri. The tip of his foot is the strongest part, but it won’t hit a small crouching enemy.

Strong Down Attack (Strong)
You might have seen this kick in the original games. Just like in those, you can cancel the move after striking by going straight into a special.

Strong Down Attack (Strong)
Hold down the attack button while crouching to use this move. You can cancel it into a special even if the foe is shielding, but only if you hit.

Strong Down Attack (Weak)
Use this attack by crouching and tapping the attack button. If you hit a downed opponent with it, you’ll knock them back to their feet.

Strong Side Attack (Strong)
Keep up the pressure on a guarding enemy with Ryu’s Collarbone Breaker, a double hit that’s good for shield breaking.

Up Air Attack
This uppercut hits the enemy twice and has a deceptively large range. It’s fairly easy to hit enemies directly over you.

Front Air Attack
Hitting an enemy with Ryu’s foot has higher launch power, while his upper leg is perfect for shield breaking. It’s a good move for combos.

Down Air Attack
This is the only attack in Ryu’s arsenal that has a meteor effect. If it hits, your victim will fly diagonally downward.

Upward Throw
This move kicks a grabbed opponent straight upward. As Ryu brings his leg back down, he’ll hit anyone else unlucky enough to be in the way.


SOME THOUGHTS:

Personally, I've never been adept at these types of inputs, especially on a gamepad, but I'm really excited by the way Ryu in Smash caters to both the Smash style and the Street Fighter style. Sakurai continues to do an excellent job capturing the spirit of a character and his/her franchise with each character. :)

Remember when the internet discovered that Cranky Kong was going to be in Tropical freeze and Nintendo still went to VGX and acted like it was a big deal ? Fun Times

Let's pretend that never happened.

I'd also like to think that E3 is a bit more important to them in regards to building hype.

The SF2 stage is cool as it is, but it would've been awesome if they had spectators cheering on the fight like in the SF games, or (if Capcom gave them permission) they had maybe Ken and Chun Li or someone fighting each other in the background of the stage, kinda like how Sonic's friends run around in loops in Green Hill.

I can dream damn it.
