Wow, Roy really tried to fit in with the modern world, huh?Nintendo is going to reveal the guy who is training to obviously fight Ryu.
That's what most of us are expecting. Almost every newcomer has had some kind of unique gimmick, and the EX meter would be perfect for Ryu.Whilst not a Ryu supporter, I'm interested in seeing how he will translate into Smash. I wonder if they will use EX meter to help make him more unique?
Isn't it kinda suspicious that they found Ryu files yet Street Fighter V isn't coming to Wii U? Eh, it might be like Snake where MGS3 was coming to everything that wasn't Nintendo and we got MGS2 Snake, so we might be getting a Street Fighter II Ryu. That's just my thoughts though.
We might get something close to SF4 and SF2, imo. I really want the Tatsunoko vs Capcom Ryu. That design was sweet perfection
add the additional details from his gloves and belt and we're done here! ..I'm fine with whatever design they give Ryu, although I would also prefer the TvC design.
Now that you mention it, that's exactly right. Guess that just shows how much of a difference an engine can make.add the additional details from his gloves and belt and we're done here! ..
(His artwork in PXZ is basically this, less the belt details )
But, real talk, all the Ryu appearances since Street Fighter III: New Generation, uses the same design.. just being interpreted by multiple graphical engines; Ryu in SFIV is exactly the same of the SFIII and TvC. .. For Smash, probably, wouldn't be any different.. they'll just work it in Smash4 graphic engine.
Ehh I rather just do a trailer like Pac-Man's or Duck Hunt's. You're trying to make it into an overkill version of Palutena or Robin. Make it simple but I love using the same animation as SF4Like I promised, I finally have the time to share my reveal trailer idea I had for Ryu since a few weeks ago ever since that leak came out. For this reveal trailer, I'm using a rather generic moveset for Ryu (to be more specific, the first moveset idea on the front page).
Without further ado, here is my reveal trailer idea for Ryu. You'll see that it is a bit long, but that's because it goes into detail how the trailer plays out, and don't worry, it's around the same length as other reveals trailer in the past. Rest assured, it's a VERY entertaining read throughout!
We first see the fiery Smash Bros logo like all of the other reveal trailers.
The trailer starts in the Boxing Ring, Little Mac's stage (but uses the Smash Bros version instead of the Punch Out one), as viewed from the distance. The camera begins to hone in on the main battlefield as the background screen changes to show Mario and Little Mac's fighter titles. Eventually, the camera gets close enough to the main battlefield that we see Mario and Little Mac animated with Street Fighter IV graphics (that is, the graphics from the Super Street Fighter IV opening without the darkened effect. Think of the visuals during the parts with Ibuki vs Guy and Chun Li vs Juri ; that's how the graphics would look like for this entire reveal trailer idea before the gameplay is shown).
We see the ending to the fight where Little Mac a series of punches to send Mario blasting out of the ring. The camera then switches to show the background screen up close (as viewed from the lower right) as it changes to say "Winner: Little Mac", and the crowd roars into cheers. We then see Doc Louis congratulating Little Mac on his win from behind the ropes as Little Mac takes a short rest before fighting his next opponent.
Doc Louis: "Way to go, Little Mac! You showed Mr. Video Game who's the real fighter here!"
Suddenly, the crowd turns completely quiet as the background screen changes to say "Here comes the next opponent!", and slightly loud footsteps can be heard walking onto the battlefield; the footsteps are from Ryu walking to the arena, but the camera does not show him at all. Doc Louis's expression turns from happy into absolute surprise and concern as he watches the approaching fighter. Once the footsteps from the approaching fighter stop, Doc Louis turns to Little Mac and gives him some words of encouragement.
Doc Louis: "Listen up, Mac, you're going up against a legend right now. I don't know how things are going to turn out, but either way, I just want you to know that I wish you the best of luck out there! Go get him, kid!"
The camera then switches views to show Little Mac's head up close. Little Mac nods his head, and he begins to run straight to his opponent as the camera hones out. Little Mac then uses Haymaker, and as his fist comes into full view, the screen turns blank. We then hear are series of grunts (coming from Ryu, but they are said in a way that still doesn't make it obvious who it is yet), along with several punches and kicks being delivered onto Little Mac. The screen than returns to normal as we see Little Mac getting launched out of the ring thanks to a powerful punch (we even see Ryu's fist delivering the punch when it happens) and landing on the entrance path way behind Doc Louis (Doc watches Mac getting launched and has an even more surprised face then he previously did). The crowd then roars into excited screams as we see Little Mac get up and stare with awe at the unexpected fighter.
The screen then blacks out again. This time, we hear Lucario speaking (with his Sean Schemmel/Pokemon movie 8 voice).
Lucario: "A legendary fighter has unexpectedly joined our tournament."
The screen returns to normal again, but this time, there is a change of scene. We know see the same nature area where Ryu trains in the Street Fighter games (as viewed from above, complete with nature sounds throughout ). Lucario continues speaking (as if it were an inner monologue) as we see this nature setting.
Lucario: "This fighting master has apparently defeated some of our most iconic fighters..."
The camera then changes angles to show Lucario meditating on a lone rock in front of a large waterfall; specifically, he is mediating very close to the same location Ryu was shown meditating at in his into in Super Street Fighter IV. Lucario is in the same mediating stance as he made in the Subspace Emissary before fighting Meta Knight, except his head is tilted straight downward. Lucario continues to speak as we see the camera know hones in on his head.
Lucario: "...Among them include the King of Darkness, Ganondorf, the Leader of Star Fox, Fox, and the Blue Bur, Sonic."
As Lucario says the names of the three fighters, we see faded out clips (still drawn in the Super Street Fighter IV intro style though) of each of them being defeated in the Boxing Ring.
Once Lucario finishes listing all of the fighters who were defeated by the "legendary fighter", he begins to meditate even deeper, further closing his eyes as the aura begins to emit from his body.
- In Ganondorf's clip, we see Ganondorf whiffing the Warlock Punch because the opponent, Ryu, has ducked just in time (we can see Ryu's headband flying up upon ducking down, but once again, Ryu is nowhere to be seen). The opponent then delivers a powerful kick onto Ganondorf's chest, and Ganondorf is blasted straight into the wires on Boxing Ring before falling to the ground head-first.
- In Fox's clip, we see Fox having a very worried and panicked expression as he notices his Blaster has no effect at the approaching opponent (again, it's Ryu, but still not revealed). Once close enough to the point a large, looming shadow can be seen, the opponent delivers a very strong frontal punch that sends Fox flying into the wall above the crowd.
- In Sonic's clip, Sonic uses his Spin Dash to jump straight into the air and use his down aerial attack immediately afterward. As he is about to land onto the ground, a strong punch (from Ryu) which resembles the Metsu Shoryuken, sends Sonic flying upwards, smasing him onto the light fixture above.
Lucario: "But now is not the time to examine how each of these fighters lost. I must concentrate on my aura so that it will reach its fullest potential when I face this fighter! After all, I must face my greatest opponent at maximum strength."
The camera now returns to the scenic landscape, but still has a closer focus on Lucario's location, as it now shows the forest located nearby. We then see another change of view as we see a creature's hands and feet run through the forest as rusting noises can be heard. The camera changes angles again, revealing the creature to be Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong reaches the middle of the forest notices something strange there; it turns out to be a large figure simply standing there. Curious, he approaches it slowly. During this scene, you can see Ryu's arm; Ryu is in a standing, meditating position at this point. We see a funny scene as Donkey Kong nudges at the figure's chest (without showing the figure of course), but then DK's expression turns into surprise upon noticing the figure react (he awoke Ryu from his mediation). Realizing the figure is ready to attack, DK does his chest-pound taunt and then begins to charge up his Giant Punch. As he charges his Giant Punch, DK's expression turns from determined to shock as the camera zooms in on his face.
We then return to Lucario meditating by the falls. Suddenly, an iconic, male voice can be heard.
?????: "Shoooooryyyukkken!!!"
We see the forest in the distance once again, and Donkey Kong launches out of it, flying over Lucario. DK ends up flying so high that he flies over the top of the waterfall to the point he is not seen or heard from again for the rest of the trailer. Lucario soon wakes up from his meditation because of it and realizes it's the legendary fighter everyone was talking about.
Lucario: "It's him! The legendary fighter everyone has been talking about! I'm surprised to see he was here this entire time, but now is the time to finally face him."
Lucario hops from rock to rock on the body of water and then runs at lightning speed once he reaches land and continues to maintain that speed into the forest. As he makes his way to the center of the forest, he uses his aura abilities to track the fighter's location. Lucario's eyes glow, then closes them as we are now introduced to his "aura-vision" that follows the path Lucario will take to reach the fighter. Eventually, we see an aura-silhouette of Ryu standing in the middle of the forest. Upon arriving at the forest's center, Lucario performs a short, graceful leap into the air and lands in a fighter's fashion. He raises himself up and stands before the fighter who has defeated DK with a single blow, and the fighter, still standing (you can see his leg during this scene), looks like as if he's meditating in preparation for his next battle. Lucario then challenges the figure into battle, changing into his battle-ready stance.
Lucario: "The stories were true. You certainly are powerful fighter; my aura can even sense your strength. You are the one who I always wanted to battle against since I first learned about you. I'm curious to see your secret power that makes you the fighter that you are."
The figure responds to Lucario.
?????: I can tell you are a very strong and worthy opponent, but hear this...
The camera now switches over to the reveal the figure. It's none other than Ryu, and the camera moves upward in a way that mimics his battle intro in Street Fighter IV. When the camera reaches his face, Ryu says his iconic line!
Ryu: "...The answer lies *camera now switches to show Ryu's face up-close as he opens his eyes* in the heart of battle!"
Ryu throws both of his arms to his side (still mirroring his battle intro from Street Fighter IV, and his introduction card pops up as he does.
Ryu
Takes the Challenge!
Ryu changes into his iconic battle-ready pose, and the Street Fighter IV version of his theme begins playing (track below)
Ryu and Lucario charge forward and begin battling each other in hand-to-hand combat. In addition to generic punches and kicks, Ryu uses Tatsumaki Senpukyaku at one point, while Lucario uses Force Palm. Both of these main attacks are dodged in some sort of way. Eventually, Ryu delivers a strong punch, but Lucario uses Double Team at that exact moment. As Lucario comes in with the kick for the counter strike, Ryu uses his Joudan Sokutogeri to stop Lucario's counterattack. At 0:13 of Ryu's SFIV theme, the camera shows both Ryu's foot and Lucario's foot stopping each other in a way that looks like an X-formation is created.
Lucario then jumps back and performs a backward somersault to maintain some distance from Ryu. Lucario begins charging up his Aura Sphere at that instant, as we see the aura around his body become even stronger, and his eyes intensely glow. We then see Ryu beginning to charge his Hadouken from behind. At 0:20 of Ryu's SFIV theme, Lucario releases his Aura Sphere as it travels at a very fast speed. The camera travels over to Ryu as we know see he is almost done charging his Hadouken. Then, he releases it.
Ryu: "Hadouken!"
The Hadouken also travels at lightning speed, and it collides with Lucario's Aura Sphere, producing a huge explosion that causes Lucario to cover his face with his arm upon to absorb the impact. Suddenly, he looks above his arm as he notices Ryu run up to him at blinding speed and delivers his Focus Attack onto Lucario. Lucario gets knocked far back to the point he flies in circle and lands head first. He gets up, and then stares at Ryu with a determined expression. We then return to Ryu as we see him standing there upon landing the Focus Attack.
At 0:33 of Ryu's SFIV theme, we begin to see all of the gameplay footage of Ryu using all of his moves to beat his opponents much like other reveal trailers. As we watch the gameplay footage, Ryu speaks.
Ryu: "I've fought the world's best fighters, but even after fighting them all, my training didn't stop there. You see, I walk the path of a true warrior, and a true warrior's path never stops. In fact, it led to me to this world. When I saw all the fighters it possesses, I knew this is where my journey would continue."
At 0:51 of Ryu's SFIV theme, we see an overview shot of Ryu's stage: Suzaku Castle. The following brief shot shows several fighters, including Ryu, battling on the stage (the stage also pops up during the rest of the trailer at certain points). The camera then travels from left to right as see Sheik, Greninja, and Ryu perform one of their taunts at Suzaku Castle. By the time the camera reaches to Ryu, he finishes his quote as he now takes out Greninja and Sheik.
Ryu: "The path I take is meant to improve myself as a fighter, and I will show the Smash Bros world what I'm truly capable of!"
At 0:58 of Ryu's SFIV theme, we are introduced to Ryu's special moveset. We first see the Hadouken, then the Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, then two clips of the Shoryuken (one where he uses it for recovery, the other for taking out an opponent where he actually says it), and finally the Joudan Sokutegeri. At 1:04 of Ryu's SFIV theme, we are introduced to the EX bar that appears above Ryu's damage percentage indicator. We see the EX bar charge up, followed with some footage of Ryu using all of his specials again; this time, they are all strengthened thanks to the maxed out EX bar.
At 1:11 of Ryu's SFIV theme, we return to some more footage of Ryu taking out the fighters with some general moves. This time, we see some of his alternate colors in addition to his default costume. We even see some funny clips of Ryu, such as one where he meets Kirby who has copied his abilities (complete with Ryu's headband + hair for his hat) and one clip where Duck Hunt goes into his laughing taunt but Ryu uses his Collarbone Breaker to KO the dog and the duck.
At 1:22 of Ryu's SFIV theme, we know see Ryu using his final smash: Shinku Hadouken. We see the beam catching four other fighter's present on Final Desination: Little Mac, Ganondorf, Fox, and Sonic (coincidentally, those were the three fighters we previously saw Ryu defeating). All four of the fighters are immediately KOd once the attack finishes.
At 1:27 of Ryu's SFIV theme, we are now at the final moments of the reveal trailer. We see Ryu perform one of his victory animations for the last four seconds. This victory animation actually matches his win animation from Street Fighter IV. At 1:31 where the theme loops, the theme ends, and at the moment Ryu delivers the punch, the screen changes to show the Smash Bros title card much like how other reveal trailers end.
Once the screen fades out, we return to the battle between Ryu and Lucario, or really, where it left of. Lucario watches from the same position he was in after being hit by Ryu's punch as Ryu approaches him. Ryu then thanks Lucario for the battle, and Lucario replies back with gratitude. Both fighters have very happy expressions on their faces.
Ryu: "I'm very impressed with the way you fight! That was one of my best battles I've ever had too! Never forget that fighting spirit you feel now!"
Lucario: "It was truly an honor to face the legendary fighter himself! I look forward to having a rematch if our paths ever cross again!"
Ryu and Lucario turn their hands as they hear another familiar voice call out from the distance: its Ken! Ken walks toward them and explains he overheard the battle and ended up watching it from the distance. He gives Ryu a pat on the back as Ryu tells him he was surprised to see him here. Ken replies by saying that he heard about the Smash Bros tournament too and wanted to give it a shot too, and when he learned Ryu joined it too, it made him more excited. As the two continue to chat, Lucario stands up and has an inner monologue notices their similarities as Ryu and Ken continue having their friendly chat.
Ken: "Hey, Ryu! That was quite the battle you had there!"
Ryu: "Ken! I'm surprised to see here."
Ken: "I heard about this tournament called 'Super Smash Bros', and I thought it wouldn't hurt to join. I did some training here and there to get ready. I eventually heard the news you were already there defeating some of its best fighters, so it made me even more excited to join. I decided to show up here to practice, but then I saw a large ape fly over the sky and heard a fight taking place within the forest. I knew it was you in there, so I hurried along to see what was going on."
Ryu: "So you were watching this whole time?"
Ken: "Yep, I didn't want to make a scene until the battle was over. Gotta hand it to you, Ryu! You showed that impressive dog creature who's the boss here. Now Ryu, hear my words. Today is the day I'm officially joining the fray as well!"
Ryu: "Alright, Ken. Whatever you say. Battling with you is always a thrill, so I look forward to our next match."
Lucario: "This 'Ken' looks like he fights exactly like Ryu does, judging from his movement and body frame. I'm surprised to see Ryu might not be the only one that fights like this."
We then see some brief gameplay footage of Ken taking out some Smash Bros fighters. When he first see Ken's Smash Bros render, the text displays, "Ken joins the battle too!" The gameplay footage shows Ken using some of Ryu's specials, revealing that Ken is an alternate costume for Ryu. The final footage we see is Ken and Ryu taunting to each other as if wishing each other the best of luck.
The trailer finally ends with the typical ending screen.
I really like the effort that you put on it! Very good!.. But sadly, I don't think that all of this would work.. =P.. First of, the duration.. this would take half of E3's Digital Event, XD.. and then, seems too complex to finally show off the character; (and the Smash Lucario doesn't talk, does he?);Like I promised, I finally have the time to share my reveal trailer idea I had for Ryu since a few weeks ago ever since that leak came out. For this reveal trailer, I'm using a rather generic moveset for Ryu (to be more specific, the first moveset idea on the front page).

At 1:27 of Ryu's SFIV theme, we are now at the final moments of the reveal trailer. We see Ryu perform one of his victory animations for the last four seconds. This victory animation actually matches his win animation from Street Fighter IV. At 1:31 where the theme loops, the theme ends, and at the moment Ryu delivers the punch, the screen changes to show the Smash Bros title card much like how other reveal trailers end.
Once the screen fades out, we return to the battle between Ryu and Lucario, or really, where it left of. Lucario watches from the same position he was in after being hit by Ryu's punch as Ryu approaches him. Ryu then thanks Lucario for the battle, and Lucario replies back with gratitude. Both fighters have very happy expressions on their faces.
Ryu: "I'm very impressed with the way you fight! That was one of my best battles I've ever had too! Never forget that fighting spirit you feel now!"
Lucario: "It was truly an honor to face the legendary fighter himself! I look forward to having a rematch if our paths ever cross again!"
Ryu and Lucario turn their hands as they hear another familiar voice call out from the distance: its Ken! Ken walks toward them and explains he overheard the battle and ended up watching it from the distance. He gives Ryu a pat on the back as Ryu tells him he was surprised to see him here. Ken replies by saying that he heard about the Smash Bros tournament too and wanted to give it a shot too, and when he learned Ryu joined it too, it made him more excited. As the two continue to chat, Lucario stands up and has an inner monologue notices their similarities as Ryu and Ken continue having their friendly chat.
Ken: "Hey, Ryu! That was quite the battle you had there!"
Ryu: "Ken! I'm surprised to see here."
Ken: "I heard about this tournament called 'Super Smash Bros', and I thought it wouldn't hurt to join. I did some training here and there to get ready. I eventually heard the news you were already there defeating some of its best fighters, so it made me even more excited to join. I decided to show up here to practice, but then I saw a large ape fly over the sky and heard a fight taking place within the forest. I knew it was you in there, so I hurried along to see what was going on."
Ryu: "So you were watching this whole time?"
Ken: "Yep, I didn't want to make a scene until the battle was over. Gotta hand it to you, Ryu! You showed that impressive dog creature who's the boss here. Now Ryu, hear my words. Today is the day I'm officially joining the fray as well!"
Ryu: "Alright, Ken. Whatever you say. Battling with you is always a thrill, so I look forward to our next match."
Lucario: "This 'Ken' looks like he fights exactly like Ryu does, judging from his movement and body frame. I'm surprised to see Ryu might not be the only one that fights like this."
We then see some brief gameplay footage of Ken taking out some Smash Bros fighters. When we first see Ken's Smash Bros render, the text displays, "Ken joins the battle too!" The gameplay footage shows Ken using some of Ryu's specials, revealing that Ken is an alternate costume for Ryu. The final footage we see is Ken and Ryu taunting to each other as if wishing each other the best of luck.
The trailer finally ends with the typical ending screen.
Truth be told, the Palutena and Robin trailers are actually among my top favorite reveal trailer ideas. I like trailers that go beyond the simple realm, hence why you are seeing this kind of reveal trailer idea for Ryu. Then again, we all have different tastes and interests as to which kinds of reveal trailers are our favorites.Ehh I rather just do a trailer like Pac-Man's or Duck Hunt's. You're trying to make it into an overkill version of Palutena or Robin. Make it simple but I love using the same animation as SF4
I like this reveal trailer idea a lot! If I had to go with a more simple reveal trailer idea, it would definitely be a lot like this one. Also, huge props to you for incorporating Lucario into your reveal trailer idea! With past reveal trailer ideas I have seen for Ryu in this thread, I noticed there was a notable lack of Lucario in them. I mean, don't get me wrong, Little Mac and Mario appearing in the trailer make sense for obvious reasons, but I personally think Lucario deserves to have some spotlight in Ryu's trailer. I mean, Lucario is the most Street Fighter-esque fighter out of the entire Smash Bros roster, so he deserves to have some sort of interaction with Ryu, not to mention Pokemon have been generally lacking in other characters' reveal trailers.I was bored, so I came up with my own trailer idea.
"Smash Trailer Intro"
We find Mario and Lucario in a field, much like Ryu and Ken in the SFIV intro. They fight for a little bit, but it suddenly stops when Lucario detects an aura. Mario looks around confused. We hear footsteps in the distance. Lucario charges up an Aura Sphere in anticipation but takes a hit from an energy blast preceded by "HADOUKEN!". Mario, surprised, looks up and sees a man in a white Gi. We hear an announcer say "Here comes a new challenger!" and finally see Ryu's face. The "Vs screen" music plays for the splash screen.
*Insert witty tagline here* Mario prepares himself.
Cue gameplay to Ryu's theme. Showcases his iconic moves being used on multiple characters. Ryu then shoots a Hadouken to Mario but he reflects it with his cape. The music stops, but Ryu uses EX Hadouken and it hits this time. The video then showcases the EX mechanic while Volcanic Rim plays in the background. Ryu uses Shinku Hadouken as his Final Smash, does his classic "arms crossed" taunt, and we go to the Smash logo.
After the logo, we see the victory quote screen with Ryu parallel to a beaten up Mario. He says "You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance!" with this in the background.
End.
Thank you for your words! It means a lot considering this reveal trailer idea did take some time for me to write!I really like the effort that you put on it! Very good!.. But sadly, I don't think that all of this would work.. =P.. First of, the duration.. this would take half of E3's Digital Event, XD.. and then, seems too complex to finally show off the character; (and the Smash Lucario doesn't talk, does he?);
although I'd love to see all of this, principally to beat all the previous trailers in the question of production. =P
-- Within a realistic expectation, I can see his trailer being very focused in SFII Throwbacks... maybe even starting with a standard SFII gameplay of Ryu against Blanka (or someone more random),.. then, the opponent is knocked off screen, and Mario appears in the place (with a sprite styled just like SFII); "Here Comes a New Challenger!" appears in the screen and the image freezes.. AAAAAND then, Ryu's splashscreen is showed (but would be nice having him be drawn as SFIV's splashscreens).. BAM, gameplay! =P
My ideal reveal trailer would be something more like Ryu's speech in his Arcade prologue in SSFIV though.
"Another international fighting tournament...
[...]
Hm..
This all feels so familiar. I must be on my guard.
Fighting always feels familiar to me.
Like coming home. Probably because I've been doing it since I was a child.
The fight is a form of communication.
It can lead to understanding.
It holds a meaning deeper than mere words.
Looks like I'll be sparring with a lot of fighters this time.
And I expect I'll meet some old friends again, as well.
Interacting with these fighters will guide me further down the path of becoming the ultimate warrior!"
I just love this.
I'm gonna keep up hope. Ken is my favorite SF character, followed by Ryu, so being able to play as both, would be the absolute best! Besides, considering how iconic and important Ken is, almost to the level of Ryu (He's basically Ryu's Luigi, c'mon now.) I would love to have him be there.Considering how the alts for the other 3rd party characters are handled, a full fledged Ken skin probably won't happen. But a simple Ken inspired color is pretty likely.
Saved, man this is incredible and it is shocking that it hasn't been beaten yet. I thought Super Metroid or Megaman X would be up there as well but that's mostly with Top 10 stuff.So, you remember at the Ryu's day in the "Rate Their Chances" thread, and I said I was drawing something? Yeah I was trying represent something.. but I realized that the drawing was not going very well and I gave up.. and that's was almost at the end of the day, so would be pointless anyway.. =P
but I reworked the concept on this; ..I think it's really important to spread around...
I know that "sales" was never the criteria to put any character in Smash, but is nice to point that the Street Fighter series is the only high selling franchise from the SNES, still not represented in Smash.
but this will change very soon! =D
My sources were several; but don't worry, VGChartz wasn't one of them.. XD for simple results you can check at Wikipedia (I know, I know.. but still better than VGChartz =P)Saved, man this is incredible and it is shocking that it hasn't been beaten yet.

Also what were your sources? I just need to make sure your research is legit and didn't depend on VG Chartz inaccurate sales
Don't mind. Also I wished you should had gone with the Top 10 thing because guess what was the 8th best selling SNES game? Street Fighter 2 TurboMy sources were several; but don't worry, VGChartz wasn't one of them.. XD for simple results you can check at Wikipedia (I know, I know.. but still better than VGChartz =P)
Yep, both Turbo and Super were also among the Top 10 and Top 20, respectively. But I think that would be a too extensive list to create. XD... The Top 5 is already satisfactory =PDon't mind. Also I wished you should had gone with the Top 10 thing because guess what was the 8th best selling SNES game? Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Actually is a good idea; I think that someone has brought this before... but not exactly about the roulette of characters; .. The Flying Man even has a Flash Kick to equalize better the concept. =PI just had a thought: What if, on Ryu's stage if there is one, they have fighters coming in that function very similarly to the Flying Man on the Earthbound stage on the 3DS version? You could touch the fighter and they would fight alongside you, but instead of being the same person, it would be 5 different Street Fighters, like Guile, Chun-Li, Blanka, Ken and M. Bison, or maybe Akuma if one of the other five fighters is an Assist Trophy. They'd each have their own moves, like Guile with the Sonic Boom and such. There would only be one of each fighter. So, what do you all think?
I understand why you'd not expect a stage hazard, though I would like to see a Street Fighter stage that is more than a flat kind of arena like in the Street Fighter games, whether it is the idea I bought up or some other kind of hazard. Still, I am glad you like the idea, CyberWolfJV.Actually is a good idea; I think that someone has brought this before... but not exactly about the roulette of characters; .. The Flying Man even has a Flash Kick to equalize better the concept. =P
--but I'm seriously expecting no hazard at all, if they really want to give faithfulness to the Street Fighter series; But who knows?.. It's Sakurai! .. He can bring something really unique, for not being just a flat stage like the Omegas.
PS: sorry the absence, guys. I'm actually working on something for the thread; I'll be posting soon! =)
I had a similar idea before: akuma would apear when its night time and would attack the player.I just had a thought: What if, on Ryu's stage if there is one, they have fighters coming in that function very similarly to the Flying Man on the Earthbound stage on the 3DS version?

Amazing Job!So guys, what I was (and I still am) working is a kind of Street Fighter lore guide.. Is not hard to notice that many of our new supporters are not really into the series, so I thought that would nice to bring some knowledge.. I won't go to deep though, is just a quick description of the story behind each character (those, specifically, that I had chosen for the Trophy Selection I proposed before), not exactly in the "Smash4 funny style", but I think that will help to clarify some things up! =)
Ryu confirmed next Diddy.You know what we need?
We need Ryu to be able to grab in mid-air like in the Vs Series games XD
Ryu confirmed next Diddy.
Consider yourself included in the supporters list, World Warrior! =); .. I'll update it shortly;I support this like a bra supports breasticles.
Thank ye kindly, good sir!Consider yourself included in the supporters list, World Warrior! =); .. I'll update it shortly;
---------
While I'm waiting until post the second part of the Lore Guide, let me bring another side-topic; Have you guys seen the Project X Zone 2 Official Site?.. It's already updated with pics and artworks (ech... they rehashed a lot from the first one);
the game doesn't seem to be updated too much, but seems that the Hyper Screens are new! ..
And I noticed... Ryu is using his Alpha Metsu Shoryuken?.. You remember, right? when he starts the attack with the elbow and such.. XD
What's your game, Speed? Why are you doing this? Who are you working for?
