I like the title in this thread. Kind of fits what myself and others are thinking.

"UHG, they leaks Ryu and Roy AGAIN!!"

I had no interest in Ryu but this is awesome!

The leaks have diminished the shock value, but I'm still amazed Nintendo went this direction

Cool to see Ryu get in. I've always been a bigger fan of Ken, and I was kinda hoping he may tag along as an alt. for Ryu, or at least a simple red gi for Ryu as a nod to him.. But oh well.

If Ryu has his link-combo system intact from the Street Fighter games, he's going to be a really unique and fun fighter to play as. Looking forward to trying him out. :)

I've never played Street Fighter, but it's cool that he's in. Wonder what his final smash will be :043:
Well, Ryu's Final Smash trophy depicts him doing a Shin Shoryuken. If you've never played Street Fighter, it looks like this:

Ryu looks awesome. I feel like I'd really enjoy playing as him.

Congrats too guys. I wanted him after thinking about him as a Smash character, but probably not nearly as much as you guys did.

Let us remember that it was planned since day one.

I still wait for Ken to be an alt, or just a color scheme or is it confirmed no Ken in this?

All day I just


but yeah, I wasn't expecting this at all. Put Ryu back in my mind 'cause I couldn't fathom Sakurai putting him in. How perfect would that be, though, y'know? I always thought that. The Grandaddy of All Fighters in a game with an equally historic cast of characters and their lineage/pedigree in their respective genres.

(even though I'm a Gouki main at heart, but hey)

I'm super, super stoked. He may not replace my boy D3 but he's gonna be a really close second. I'mma lab him super hard.

I don't play Street Fighter, but I'm cool with Ryu joining. I could even see myself maining him, since I like the look of his moveset. I pretty much accurately predicted his specials (as I'm sure many of us did).

The one thing I'm a bit apprehensive about, though, is how underwhelming it was to save Ryu for DLC. Traditionally, third-parties in Smash have been a big thing, hyped up and advertised as part of the core game before release. Relegating Ryu to post-launch DLC just comes off to me as a little watered-down, and to know he's not part of the "core" cast alongside Mega Man, Sonic, and Pac-Man is a bit disappointing. He probably won't have custom special moves, for example.

I've never played Street Fighter, but I knew about Ryu and that he had a projectile-thingy. So yes, I don't know much about him, I only know his name, where he's from, and what he looks like. But MAN am I excited for this bad boy! :) Will be one of my mains, even though I don't know his moveset!
