Hadouken! Ryu's Official Thread! - We do EX Moves to SMASH!

[Rabbattack]

Watch Sakurai give Ryu Tatsumaki Senpukyaku for his recovery instead of Shoryuken.

 

[Thelimomon]

Hey guys, I want to let you know that I'm HYPED for Ryu in Smash!
Even though I'll handle it with a grain of salt for now, 'cause Sakurai.

I also had an idea for Ryu's reveal trailer:

Spoiler

A poorly lit silhouette is sitting in blackness, kind of like Greninja was shown at first in his reveal trailer.
The sentence "The Answer lies in the Heart of Battle." is said by a familar voice.
You see a hand setting the other hand's glove, while the voice says: "I've fought the world's best Fighters..."
Scenes from Street Fighter games are shown with fighters like M. Bison, Zangief, and Akuma being defeated.
Back to the silhouette, now tighten his belt, says: "But now..."
Multiple Smash characters like Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, Kirby and the Villager are shown together for a second.
The silhouette is walking forward into the light. The camera is slowly going up from his feet to his face.

Spoiler

Zoomed in on his face, Ryu says: "But now... It's Time for a new Battle!"
Awesome Street Fighter music starts to play while lots of scenes of him in Smash are shown.
When the scenes are finished, he stands in front of the blackness, faceing the camera, with his Hadouken already fully charged and is fiering it directly into the camera while a long-lasting shout by him appears, calling the iconic "Hadouken!"
The Hadouken turned the screen completely white, that then turns into blackness while his scream fades slowly off.
And now, finally, the typical end screen is shown.

Spoiler

The end.

Tell me what you think! I'm not sure about the phrase "Takes the Challenge!", is there something you think could fit better? I'd love to hear it!

Man, when I think about it, I want it even MORE to be true!

For Ryu's Final Smash, I reckon its either between Shinkuu Hadouken or Shin Shoryuken.

 

[KiraYoshikage]

@Thelimomon It should have ended with:

Only with Mario instead of Ken.

 

[DJ3DS]

Alternate Costumes:

From Left to Right, Top to Bottom, these are the following:

1) Ryu
2) Ken
3) Chun-Li
4) Guile
5) Dhalsim / Sean
6) Dan
7) Blanka
8) Evil Ryu/Akuma

What do you think? I think they're Ry-oozing potential.

 

[Thelimomon]

@Thelimomon It should have ended with:

Only with Mario instead of Ken.

I have no idea how to implement this, but it'd be awesome regardless!

 

[Roaring Salsa]

The Power of Nothingness could also work as Ryu's final smash (it would be like combining both of Lucario's final smashes.)
It greatly increases your attacks for a while and you finish it by shooting a large Hadoken.

Starts at 5:00.

8) Evil Ryu/Akuma

#5 would be Sean.
Those are some good sprite edits. Though I still think Ken/Akuma or at least Ken should be an alternate costume, complete with unique voice acting like Robin.

#5 being Sean is a fortunate accident - I was going for a set of the most obvious characters, considered Dhalsim one and simply based the yellow GI on the fact Dhalsim has yellow shorts in at least some appearances.

I would support Ken for an alt, but I am not sure if it would happen for the sole reason that it requires licensing another character. Akuma is the same issue, but with the added disadvantage of being an identical colour scheme to Evil Ryu.

 

[Rabbattack]

Who's up for a shirtless Ryu alt?

Sounds good to me.

 

[CyberWolfBia]

Who's up for a shirtless Ryu alt?

He has this Alt. in SFIV... =P .. but personally, I always play with his traditional color and clothes;

 

[Chandeelure]

Ryu with a pasta costume

One of my favorite versions of Ryu's Theme is the one from NAMCO X Capcom (which is also in Project X Zone, but downgraded due the "MIDI" quality of the game :\/ );

Also, sometime ago, I made this for SSBC team; could be a plausible concept for, at very least, Suzaku Castle OMEGA;

It looks awesome.

Nice, I still need to get into SSBC sometime since the whole complaints about graphics is making me reconsider. But the stages and soundtrack selection is well done enough to make me think things though.

Thank you! =D

It's a good game regardless of anything. =).. in fact, they're using my Ryu sprites in latest update (also, the Bomberman were made by me); the padronization of the graphics is slowing going somewhere.. =P;

but this concept of Suzaku Castle was what I suggested, but it wasn't accepted (my idea was just the characters being able to walk in the wood platform in the center, just like Street Fighter, with maybe the Japanese Signs breakable); Instead, they went with a Super Street Fighter II HD Remix rip that you can just walk through the roofs in the background

 

[8-peacock-8]

This guy has a good idea for the Down Special.

 

[A Distant Demon]

This guy has a good idea for the Down Special.

So my phone sometimes glitches out and moves every piece of media up one place

So instead of a vid i saw an ad for high heels and wondered how heels had anything to do with specoals. . .

Now imagining ryu in heels.

Where is Xander Mobus saying "HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!"

 

[8-peacock-8]

Focus Attack and Donkey Kick would also make good SMASH attacks.

Fantastic, you sure do have some great taste in Street Fighter music. As a matter of a fact, half of these are exactly the type of songs that I'm hoping for in the final game.

And yes, Guile's Theme That Goes With Everything should be a must-in addition to the game. I can already imagine the countless fans posting replays of their fights with this very theme playing in the background.

Thanks! =D;... Well, I guess the SF series sure has a bunch of amazing songs;.. I actually found very hard to put only 10 in the "expected/wishes" part.. There are so many great musics and memorable tunes! ... Oh.. and not even in those terms of iconism there are great pieces like "Crumbling Laboratory Round 2";.. XD

And yep;.. Smash will be flooded with videos with Guile's Theme! .. Can we fake out with the SFxMM version as a Mega Man song and get this as the 11th? =P

The more Guile, the better. Even Mega Man x Street Fighter's soundtrack was well done for a fan game that emulated the original NES gameplay and music.

 

[Graizen]

I believe that the trailer will be something simpler to imagine
Ryu will appear in a mysterious way and start a fight in Street Fighter style against Mario. After that Mario is pulled backwards and then they begin to fight in the form of Smash.

 

[CyberWolfBia]

I think that will be healthful for us discussion and the general knowledge of anyone, bringing once a time some content telling the Legacy of Street Fighter series and Ryu as a character; =) (obviously, without spoil the speculation about his presence and the conversation about potential moveset, etc)... So, I'll try to bring these sometimes. =) (just like I did with the video and the musics; will be something detailed)

 

[StaffofSmashing]

Trailer
Ryu punches Mario in the face
"Ryu is another Capcom rep so he doesn't get more than that", the tagline reads.
-out-

 

[AEMehr]

I see music talk, here's some songs that I think would be super nice to have.

Spoiler

Cyberwolf covered it pretty well though, got half of my song choices in some way :U

 

[8-peacock-8]

So how would the normal version of Ryu's stage work? Would the stage just have walk offs? Or would we use the entire castle?

 

[PSIGuy]

Do we have any stages that are just a big flat, plain walkoff? Maybe Sakurai thinks we need a Final Destination better balanced for little macs.

[Pippin (Peregrin Took)]

If you had told me after the megaman reveal that ryu had a chance of getting in I'd call you crazy, but the sound files are hopeful and any new or returning character is a good character

So a crazy idea popped into my head thinking about ryu. We have those characters that have some sort of gimmick, like little mac's ko punch, lucario's aura etc. What if ryu's gimmick is that his control scheme is different from everybody else's and more akin to a classic fighting game. Up is still jump, abxy are different punches and kicks, and instead of just pressing b to do a hadouken he'd have to do the quarter turn thing. If that were the case I'd also give him a boost in jump to aid his recovery. The street fighter characters tend to be nimble enough anyway.

Is it practical? Probably not. But would it be unique and interesting and fresh? I think it just might.

On another note, if capcom gets 2 reps then namco definitely should because they helped work on the game, and sega probably should too.

 

[DJ3DS]

On another note, if capcom gets 2 reps then namco definitely should because they helped work on the game, and sega probably should too.

Let me stop you right there. Why?

Two characters owned by Capcom are (for the sake of argument) getting in. One is representing Mega Man. The other is representing Street Fighter. The two are there on their own merits as characters and as franchises. Both being in is absolutely irrelevant to Namco/Sega. If Konami owned Street Fighter, no-one would be saying this. Why you seem so intent on viewing a 3rd party character in terms of its owner company rather than its own merits as a character and franchise absolutely baffles me.

If we were getting a 2nd character from a franchise then I could understand to some extent. If we got Knuckles as a character, then that seems to open up the gates for a 2nd Mega Man character etc. But as it is, we are looking at getting a brand new franchise represented. Moreover, I don't think it can really be argued that the franchise wouldn't get in on its own merits were it not a Capcom company.

 

[Speculator]

Some of Ryu's inputs are just so iconic. Regardless of his specials or standard attacks, I'm almost certain that down-forward quarter circle + A will throw a hadouken. Even my mother knows that one.

Ryu should have a hidden fifth special that fires off a powerful hadoken. The quarter circle special.

Sakuari would not expect casual players to do a shoryuken motion. This would be a cool optional feature though!

Can you even do Street Fighter inputs with a Wiimote?

Does everyone here promise to boycott Ryu if Guile Theme doesn't show up on either version?
