Roy (our boy) & Ryu confirmed for Smash Bros

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Looks like we have two Roys now. Not that I'm complaining, but do you think the announcer would call the name differently?

The announcer does indeed call both Roys' names differently. He sounds a lot more excited about FE Roy!

It's easy with so much real world inspiration to draw from :/

I hear you. I'm as huge a Smash fan as anyone, but the infantile Smash fanbase will forever mystify me. The sheer ignorance/stupidity of some of the things said in this thread about Ryu and "deservedness" and "relevance" and whatever else is genuinely concerning.

 

[PSqueak]

All DLC will get Amiibo. I wouldn't be surprised if there are games out or coming that already has stuff for these Amiibo.

But will he be retroactively added to codename steam?

 

[DrArchon]

Oh those Mii costumes are great! Battle Network was one of my favorite series so it's great to see some representation.

Also nice to see VF not 100% dead yet.

 

[zlatko]

I imagine Ryu will be ass in this game haha.

Will be interested to see how he pans out though.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

ZERO!

Also those mii costumes on the top right remind me of Jacky and Akira from Virtua Fighter.

Joke post?

 

[Zonic]

ZERO!

Also those mii costumes on the top right remind me of Jacky and Akira from Virtua Fighter.

They are!! In fact, Akira is modeled after the original Virtua Fighter to look all blocky.

 

[Kriken]

That's why it's in quotes.

I somehow missed the quotes, sorry

 

[Beelzebufo]

Doesn't he have Lil Mac face though?

No, that's Shulk

 

[Choppasmith]

Oh neat. They ARE using Kyle Hebert

 

[jax]

No Snake? Salt.

 

[J@hranimo]

Joke post?

No, just didn't want to look like a dumbass on the internet lmao. Dope! SEGA got some more content in after all!

 

[MisterHero]

Relooking at the VF & Tekken costumes, I'm kind of surprised we didn't get costumes from SF. Like, Ryu, Ken, &/or Chun-Li could've worked for Brawler.

Maybe we will and they just haven't leaked yet

 

[trixx]

So $5 for an extra marth clone?

 

[Loco4Coco]

So $5 for an extra marth clone?

With fire!

 

[PadWarrior]

Imagine if Jin is added later on

 

[balladofwindfishes]

So $5 for an extra marth clone?

If you don't want him, don't buy him

 

[The Last One]

OMG, EVERYTHING IS LEAKING!!!!!

That's sad =(

 

[E_Darkness]

I wonder if Roy is still just a Marth clone. The game will just have 3 Marths so I hope not. Ryu is pretty amazing. But I'm sad that 3/4 DLC characters so far are just old vets.
Day 1 selling my soul for a Ryu amiibo.

 

[Puruzi]

If you don't want him, don't buy him

pretty much. He's clearly only being put in for fans of him.

 

[Codeblue]

Can't wait to try Ryu out.

 

[Crocodile]

Ryu is far more relevant than mega man, and arguably more so than Sonic as well. I don't think you understand how significant and impactfull SFII was. It created a genre and defined an entire generation. MM is just a platformer in an era that was saturated with platformers.

Huh? No need to throw those other characters under the bus to elevate Ryu. Literally all those characters were hugely popular and influential in their heyday (Mega Man more so in the NES days, Ryu and Sonic in the SNES/Genesis days). Do you even know/remember what most platformers looked like before Mega Man showed up in 86?

 

[Golnei]

I swear Ike is almost Ryu with blue hair lol

Especially when they're both drawn by Kita.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

So $5 for an extra marth clone?

More like $5 for the second most requested returning veteran.

 

[spindashing]

I miss the original reddish brown from SF1/SFA

I've always associated red haired Ryu with a younger, a little more inexperienced fighter. Still a bad ass but...

Black Haired Ryu knows what the fuck is up

 

[TriggerShy]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK-DSAgs6fQ Listen for yourself.

Ryu, can I play as you in Smash Bros? SURE YOU CAN!

 

[NeonZ]

I realise that - hell, I liked him in Melee, I played Roy to my little brother's Marth (tried to give him an advantage to even things up) but a newcomer would generate way more hype and be time better spent imo.

I think there'd have been much louder complaints if rather than adding Roy they had added a new clone newcomer.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I swear Ike is almost Ryu with blue hair lol

 

[OmegaSmash]

So I'm still groggy from waking up, and I don't feel like digging through 20 100ppp pages but were these posted? New Mii costumes

This makes me wonder 3 things.

Virtua Fighter 3DS Classic with online

MMZ Zero costume when?

And will we see a Megaman Brawler costume somehow? Seeing he now has 2 Gunners and a Swordman costume.

 

[Sponge]

Imagine if Jin is added later on

Would be crazy if him or Heihachi got in. Especially since Heihachi is in Playstation All-Stars.

 

[akidnamededdy]

As long as I get my eventual third DK character I don't mind

You'll get Cranky with a sword and you will LOVE IT

 

[Golnei]

Would be crazy if him or Heihachi got in. Especially since Heihachi is in Playstation All-Stars.

Heihachi's been in since 64.

 

[Sponge]

You'll get Cranky with a sword and you will LOVE IT

Not kidding when I say I feel like I'm the only one who wants Cranky Kong. He's the OG DK. That's more than enough reason to get in. Smash also lacks the old man fighter trope.

Heihachi's been in since 64.

Mind blowing!

 

[Zombegoast]

there does not even have to be anything for Nintendo and Capcom to promote here. It's Ryu. They have a good ongoing relationship. That's reason enough.

I'm still waiting to hear about the Resident Evil games and TvC on the Virtual Console.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I find it weird that Isabella skin is for Gunner.

 

[zlatko]

I wan tto know how his focus attack will work in here compared to SF4. Can he charge it up, run around, then let it rip? Or can he charge, and it releases after a certain point but can only absorb a hit? Will it absorb multi hits? Does it crumple?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Based on Roy's trophy, this is his Final Smash animation

Critical Hit from FE6

 

[ffdgh]

You'll get Cranky with a sword and you will LOVE IT

Sword pogo stick like yoshimitsu please.

I now want Cranky more than any other fighter.

 

[Sponge]

I now want Cranky more than any other fighter.

Let's MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

You, me, the Ballot site. We don't stop sending requests until October.

 

[Regulus Tera]

What price range should we expect for the three character DLC pack? I just bought another fucking amiibo yesterday and I'm coming short on cash.

 

[Kouriozan]

This'll be fun

 

[SatoAilDarko]

What price range should we expect for the three character DLC pack? I just bought another fucking amiibo yesterday and I'm coming short on cash.

If there like Mewtwo they will be sold separately for $4 each, $5 for both versions.

 

[MagnesD3]

Nintendo vs Capcom please

 

[PadWarrior]

Would be crazy if him or Heihachi got in. Especially since Heihachi is in Playstation All-Stars.

Oo heihachi would be interesting!

 

[BigFwoosh]

Can't believe people are upset about Ryu. We have a game with Mario, Sonic, Pac Man, Mega Man, and RYU. Seriously, how is that not awesome as fuck?

 

[Seik]

So I'm still groggy from waking up, and I don't feel like digging through 20 100ppp pages but were these posted? New Mii costumes

ZERO!!!!!!

I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE!!!

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Is there going to be over $100 worth of DLC when all is said and done?

Personally I'm want all of it but like Amiibos I'll wait. I'm hoping next year when everything is released there'll bundle options. At least for the Mii costumes.

 

[Regulus Tera]

If there like Mewtwo they will be sold separately for $4 each, $5 for both versions.

I hope not. Mario Kart did good by bundling the DLC together.

 

[Blackquill]

If you don't want him, don't buy him

That's not an excuse, selling a clone from an previous episode for 5€ or dollars is still overpriced. Especially when Ryu will be probably at the same price or maybe a bit mor expensive but that's it.

We know that the time and ressources they put to develop a clone is incredibly compared to a brand new character.

 

[spindashing]

Can't believe people are upset about Ryu. We have a game with Mario, Sonic, Pac Man, Mega Man, and RYU. Seriously, how is that not awesome as fuck?

we need our K. Rool and Geno

not to mention GOKU da GAWD
