Metal Sonic! Please Metal Sonic!
Anyway he would be a Sonic clone, but still would be great
Metal Sonic could be a cool addition if Sakurai decides to make him a unique character, but since Metal Sonic generally was created to Rival Sonic in being the REAL Sonic he'd most likely end up being a clone or semi-clone of Sonic with some small but noticeable differences which I don't see as a good decision.

To all the people who are salty that Roy is back need to realize a two things:
1. Roy is fan favorite especially in Japan. He was basically a given to make it in to Smash 4 as DLC. Doesn't matter that he sucked in melee and the other games he featured in when people love his regardless.They are other Nintendo characters who have sucked in their games but they are fan favorites in smash as well as well.
2. The argument that there are too many swordsmen is irrelevant because they are still way more people in smash that fight with their fists and all the swordsmen play completely different anyways. Hell, even in melee Roy played nothing like Marth despite having the exact same moves. Judging by the Roy victory trailer, he'll most likely be a semi-clone and have moves completely different than Marth anyways.
People should be happy we have more characters to play as anyways. I'm interested to see how Roy will play in this smash 4 environment.
The difference between swordsman and fist fighters is that fist fighting can actually offer unique move sets, you can only slash so many ways.

I'd be more excited for this if Sm4sh was in general a more fun game. As it stands all I can see is Ryu being higher tier because of his ability to combo and absorb hits into a powerful one, and Roy being garbage because of shieldstun not existing and endlag on everything.

Not much to be excited for in this engine.

His final smash would be like Pikachu's, but with that famous purple energy from STH4 Episode two, also many of his moveset would be based on STF

Remebmer that Metal Sonic is one of the sonic characters with most fanbase.
PSD: I'm working on Metal Sonic for Project M, over Pikachu

Don't get excited about "Roy's our Boy!" folks.

With THIS game's crowd SFX, we'll be hearing "RNGKKS ERR BLNURK! RNGKKS ERR BLNURK!"...

*sigh* Gdi leaker. You HAD to wait one day before the Smash Direct to ruin the surprise ! -_-

Anyway, happy to see they are confirmed... Let's hope that there's other surprise from Sakurai tomorow other than these two. And Lucas.
Please, let it be one more unknown DLC character-- ;;
I heard, there MIGHT be SoPo, from Ice Climbers.

You got to be kidding me, Capcom is seriously going to allow this? This wont end well with the Fight game community. And it looks fake.

Why wouldn't they? Street Fighter is more or less their flagship title now, and Ryu is the most popular and recognizable character in the franchise. And the fighting game community is more or less crap anyways, with or without Ryu in Smash. Also, it looks fake? This is not the Gematsu leaks, and this is not the ArtsyOmni hoax; this is an ESRB-tier leak.

Those leaks may be interesting, but what I'm now looking for are data leaks for the 3DS version data so we can discover this:

snd_bgm_Z84_F_Wolf_3DS.nus3bank
snd_bgm_Z85_F_Dixiekong_3DS.nus3bank
snd_bgm_Z86_F_Kingkrool_3DS.nus3bank

:dazwa:

Anyway I'm glad the Fountain of Dreams track is back. Cutting this song was borderline criminal.

This is even higher than the ESRB leak.

I'm just laughing at the fact that some people are saying, "B-But...Ryu has no history with Nintendo!"

You know, despite the fact that Street Fighter used to always have Nintendo releases. Looking at you, Street Fighter II. :p

Like seriously. It's like a lot of fanboys are so ignorant when it comes to third parties.

I for one am hyped for Ryu.

To be honest, I'm pretty mad about this. We did not need a freaking THIRD Marth and Fire Emblem is not even close to deserving FIVE reps.

I'm not happy about Ryu either. I'm against the idea of third-party characters in Smash in the first place, and why does Capcom get two characters? Four third-party characters is just way too much.

Hopefully Roy has been heavily luigified, either way this is extremely HYPE worthy. Roy & Ryu FTW

Hey biggot I just watched Roy gameplay and can confirm he's not a marth clone, he's more of a Ike/marth hybrid

Roy looks very different from Marth. He seems to be a semi-clone, which is great. He has some moves that are similar to Marth's, but they all look very different and fresh. I'm excited for both now!!!!

For the record, I am perfectly ok with both of these characters in the game. I don't understand the hate. Bring on all the veterans and newcomers! Yay!

Well, looks like Roy is quite "cloney" but he likely didn't take much time to create then.

Question though: while I have no issue with Ryu..why was Ryu chosen? Was he high on the character poll or something?

I just can't help but wonder if there's another angle on this between Nintendo and Capcom...

From what I've seen, Roy's animations are definitely different and Ryu looks pretty interesting to use.

I'm not really sure how anyone could be disappointed with the announcement; my biggest issue with it is that Roy's range looks downright terrible.
