I think the real question is whether or not he's going to run like he does in the NES games. It honestly would look pretty unnatural and stiff.

I don't.
Imagine Hayabusa getting hit off the ledge of the stage and his free fall is like in the NES game where pretty much falls to his death lol! Not that bad, but I could see his free fall having a long delay until you can control lmao!
I mean, not everything has to be perfectly on par with the games lol.
Call me crazy but I honestly wouldn’t mind that at all, although I do think it’d be a bit better if they could make his arms move a little bit while still capturing the feel of his iconic NES running animation (if that’s possible).I think the real question is whether or not he's going to run like he does in the NES games.

He needs to run like this, but with his body leaning forward and arms outstretched behind him. Yes, I'm saying he needs to Naruto run. It'll be the most ridiculous run in the entire game. It'll be gloriousI think the real question is whether or not he's going to run like he does in the NES games. It honestly would look pretty unnatural and stiff.

Yes, it's perfect!
The video that was just posted should give you the answer now.
Well, Dead or Alive is considered canon to the Ninja Gaiden universe anyway so the comparison is apt.
Outside of Mii Costumes, I don't see Hayabusa coming with both Warriors and DoA content. If Ninja Gaiden is going have a Challenger Pack in Smash, it'll strictly be Ninja Gaiden content that comes with Hayabusa and nothing more.
Well it’s not out of the realm of possibility to add Warriors and Dead or Alive content in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, each company in Smash has multiple franchises represented, Konami has Metal Gear Solid, CastleVania, and Bomberman, ATLUS has Persona 3, Persona 4, and Persona 5, Capcom has Street Fighter and MegaMan, Microsoft has Minecraft, Banjo-Kazooie, and FALLOUT, and so many more examples, I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be a big deal to add more Koei Tecmo franchises along with Ninja Gaiden content. Besides FATAL FRAME is already in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with Yuri Kozukata and Mio and Mayu Amakura anyway so
I see no reason to doubt that Hayabusa will at least come with DOA content too. He's a prominent character in that series and as already mentioned, it's canon to the Ninja Gaiden universe. We've seen it happen with Terry, so why can't the same thing happen with Hayabusa? It makes sense.
To the point of seeing 50+ music tracks?
I’m not that familiar with Koei’s overall library, so maybe? I’m not sure if their music library is as great as SNK’s. I definitely think we could see some content from DOA, Warriors & Nioh since they’re all connected to Ryu.
I personally don't see Koei Tecmo being this free. You'd think we would've gotten Hyrule Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors spirits in Smash due to their perceived closeness but here we are. I wonder if we'll even get a Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Spirit Event if the other two Nintendo Warriors games didn't get anything.
So we could get a good chunk of music from the NES trilogy? Sweet.
I could see us getting 50 tracks again if another SNK character ever becomes DLC again.
I think it's less about KT letting them have that many, and more about Nintendo not bothering to ask for that many.
Well, the story Sakurai gave in Terry's presentation was that they decided to pick out music tracks from the entirety of SNK's library, chose 50, submitted the proposals to SNK, waited for SNK to approve any of them, then SNK just decided to let them use everything. Not sure if this is how they worked on every other Challenger Pack.
KT would probably also just say "Yes" to whatever Sakurai asks for. But I doubt there's 50 KT songs Sakurai would want.
I can pretty much guarantee that's not how Hero went.
Probably Kasumi or a Dynasty Warriors character
I would say Kasumi since somebody at Tecmo mentioned that they would want her in but if Sakurai can't get a Tekken character to work, I don't see how a DOA character can work either.
I'd assume somebody from Warriors. I know DoA is super-closely tied to Ninja Gaiden and all, but honestly, Dynasty Warriors is their second biggest franchise AFAIK, and even though the most likely contender from that franchise (Lu Bu) is based on an IRL person and not a video game character (Does that make them 5th-party if Goku and the like is 4th party?), we still have the likes of Dr. Kawashima in the game, who is also an IRL person.
I’m betting Ryu will get the Belmont treatment.
I can see him as either the next Simon or Bayonetta. He'll either be annoying as **** with projectile spamming using shurikens, windmill shuriken, flying fire wheels, vacuum wave, etc., or he'll be cancerous as hell with combos like Bayonetta that deal a lot of damage and have combos that end with Izuna Drop which consistently lead to the kill.
