THEY RUINED THE ONE THING I LIKED ABOUT ROY! And Ryu yells 2 supers...

 

[Neoxon]

I sometimes accidentally draw stuff when I get too excited.

I'm working on a colored version of this & I was wondering if you could get rid of the black on Roy so I can make it blue easier? Regardless, this is my work in progress coloring your art. I hope you like how it's coming along so far.

 

[StormC]

Can I just say Ryu's design clashes with the art style like, really badly?

Roy's surprised me though. I always hated how dorky he looks in Melee, but I quite like it here.

WAIT A MINUTE

WE PAST 2000

THE NUCLEAR BOMB HAS BEN ACTIVATED

 

[TaRtOoN-Hand94]

*puts on tinfoil hat*

Nintendo and Sakurai deliberately included those files in the patch so that we wouldn't be expecting the announcement of a different character (or ballot characters) during tomorrows Smash presentation.....and then Ryu and Roy will be announced officially in the Digital Event on the 16th. (and possibly released directly after the event)

*takes off tinfoil hat*

I want to believe!

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Guys. My cat's litter box works at Nintendo, Bayonetta is the next DLC character. Proof you ask?

Spoiler

Can someone tell me what Ryu's doing for his Down B? Roy has the same specials, not even 1 projectile. Curse you ****lord!

Ryu's Down B seems to be a perfect guard.... inb4 yet another counter

I actually like counters, rewards predictions and punishes fools. It's my friends that hate them. Then again, no one should try to Warlock Punch Shulk

Oh.
They should.
They just need to get good.
Because it is so satisfying when you land it.

Ganondunked. Manondorf ThunderCougarFalconDorf.

He goes by many names.

 

[A Distant Demon]

just woke up after being sick.

Roy looks absolutely fantastic with that updated model. Jesus christ it's infinitely better than expected. Ryu looks hype as well.

I need this patch right now. fuuuuuuuuu everything is perfect and I cant play it.

also inkling trophy. If inkling wasnt a shoo-in for smash 5 (sh)he is now.

 

[Deathcarter]

Have you not seen the video?
Roy ain't changed.
Give into the salt.

If there's one single reason I'd want Sakurai to be replaced for the next Smash is for the possibility of a new director who isn't so infuriatingly insistent on never changing established movesets no matter uninspired (Roy, Ganondorf) or just plain bad (Samus, Charizard) they are.

They shouldn't try walking up to Shulk and try that. Not even Manondorf can survive that. Speaking of, if we don't get Ganon my next best Zelda choice...Hyrule WarriorsDorf. Dat sexy hair and dual swords tho

I filled in the lineart, sorry.
I never planned to color it, must less that someone else would.
's quite flattering that you attempt it though.

 

[Fatmanonice]

Still holding out for a third because I don't really care for either of them. I'm not mad that they were added but I have almost zero interest in either character.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

...I've been thinking. Capcom has Ryu, which is the other Capcom Mascot. Who would SEGA and Namco get? Namco could easily get Lloyd or Heihachi, but SEGA...Jack Frost because Atlus is really my only thought

 

[A Distant Demon]

Heihachi,

well he got a mii costume so good guess

Jack Frost

I know salty skullgirls agree

I still say tails is a good choice bif there is one even of I dont think Sega needs another.

1) You've been converted to Jack Frost. Good.
2) If Blue has any say, Bayonetta.
3) Tails or Eggman would probably be best because SEGA's eggs are in one hedgehog shaped basket.
4) Agumon for the Bandai half of the company. Started off as a Virtual Pet, as much of a rival to Pokemon as Sonic was to Mario (played up by fans but really not comparable in whole quality for games, though one had infinitely better animated series).

I was only talking about potential characters really. SEGA has tons of IPs. They just forget to use them outside of Sonic Allstars Racing. I missed Opa Opa and the Bonanza Bros in the sequel

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

I don't really care if people get salty at this opinion, but I can't understand why people are still hanging onto "Ryu isn't Nintendo enough". Seriously?

Ryu is an incredibly iconic character. Seriously, my girlfriend had no idea who he was until she recognized him from Street Fighter. People who don't even play games recognize him. Just because he's "not Nintendo enough" doesn't mean he's a bad character.

Sonic isn't Nintendo. Mega Man isn't Nintendo. Pac-Man isn't Nintendo. If you have a problem with characters from other companies joining Smash, you should probably get used to it. These characters are top quality characters. It's not Super Meat Boy. Even Snake was a big name video game character. None of them are Nintendo. Sure, they've been on Nintendo consoles, but they aren't "Nintendo".

I get why people think Sonic is close to Nintendo, and i'd probably agree. But that isn't necessarily why he was added. He was added because people wanted to play as Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic vs. Mario. Nintendo vs. SEGA.

If anything, we should be happy that Smash has an ever expanding roster. There are so many games and series that are now a part of Smash...it's incredible.

Sorry, but looking at all of the salt and people using that as a reason...it's like, come on people. Especially compared to some other choices on the internet...

Ok where do you find all this info because Heihachi costume is awesome.

Alex the kid is an option for Sega, or Ristar, Nights, opa-opa, Bayonetta, Pai, Akira,Ulala, the list goes on.

Namco: Klonoa, Tekken is weird but yeah, Nightmare, Dig Dug guy,Kite, Black Rose

I spend time in the former leaks thread now Nintenzone social. leaks are our thing.

http://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/c...fo_compiled_regarding_ryu_and_roy_hype_train/
a really good place for it all.

Problem is, SEGA refuses to use all those characters, Sonic and Ms. 3Sexy5Ninty are the only IPs SEGA uses

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

We'll get confirmation of Ryu and Roy tomorrow, and they'll be released the same day, (along with Lucas) and then on the 16th we'll get confirmation of Wolf to coincide with the new Starfox game, and he'll be released at a later date. Thus giving us 3 character reveals for E3

 

[Burruni]

1)

I think Sakurai's well aware of the Too Many Swordsmen joke.

2) Roy's Final Smash appears to be... Critical Strike.

He's the marth clone Lucina should have been.

Eh, dare to dream :3

 

[StormC]

Anyone else hear about Rhythm Heaven music allegedly being in the update?

 

[XStarWarriorX]

Lol the salt is hilarious, tho i did not expect it here of all places, gamefaqs tho... ho look out.

You guys shouldn't worry, there should be some type of hype information available. I mean member m2? Oh it'll just be his tralier zzzz omg ROSTER BALLOT

So dont get all down just yet, knowing sakurai. .. he always has a surprise up his sleeve

 

[Burruni]

There is no allegedly.
It's in.

This is definitely not the same as it was on the DS, last time it was seen.

The question is if it is tied to the Miiverse stage, or if RH's emblem is finally getting some usage for a stage (or fighter, that'd be cool too)

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Wait. We have th Planet Popstar stage theme from Kirby 64 and the godlike final boss them from Triple Deluxe. Sakurai's bias is slightly wearing off. Good. Now give us more modern Kirb content along with playable and unique Bandana Dee and Galacta Knight old man

Galactika Knight Assist Trophy.
And Kirb 64 was still Sakurai era.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

Yeah for all we know, there could be an announcement of another fighter that won't be available right away, hence not being in the patch. For example, Wolf could be announced but only revealed, not available. That would explain why he isn't found in the patch.

Also, I am completely fine with eating crow on Roy's reveal date.

Ryu's Down B seems to be the Focus Attack from SF4 (since there are some black lines). It's not really a counter though it can be used as one; it's a move that can be charged, grants super armor while charging and crumples the opponent upon hit. If you charge it to its maximum, it becomes unblockable.

Feexed.

Once again.
I show how little I know about Street Fighter.
RIP me.

playable plz. I know he's not too important but still.
I thought Sakurai didn't work on that. Eh, Sectonia's Soul is good enough

 

[A Distant Demon]

my only disappointment with this whole thing is no Guile's theme.

the one thing you forget sakurai.

everything else is better than perfect < 3

I am still boggled
How they neglected the singular most iconic piece of Street Fighter Music.

 

[PrettyIvyPearls22]

I'm still boggled with all of this being leaked. I knew we would get another leak for Smash but not before E3 even started. You obviously just can't have secrets about a game on the Internet anymore. At this point, I just only want a legit reveal trailer.

There's one thing you're forgetting. Guile's theme goes with everything...INCLUDING YOUR DISAPPOINTMENT!
