This I can get behind. In the actual games, Ryu has never used those kunai on his legs except in NG3(RE) where he'll actually reach for and throw them while kunai climbing. I wonder how the glitch works though because I just tried it in training mode and could never get them to stick on Dark Pit. I've tried reflecting them back to me against other characters' reflectors, shot other Dark Pits, and the arrows do not curve enough to come back to Dark Pit like Pit's. Of course, I'm still skeptical of it meaning Ryu is coming to Smash but whatever, not like we have anything else to talk about in the mean time...
I’m not sure if the original Twitter poster said how he or she did it, you can ask them if you like their post is posted here
I can see Nintendo wanting to do a double reveal of Ryu Hayabusa and Crash Bandicoot like they did with Hero and Banjo and Kazooie.

Just temper your expectations dude. Lots of characters have had plenty of evidence going for them, but haven't happened yet, and likely wil not happen despite all the evidence. There's only 2 characters left, and Sakuari even softly confirmed in the Pyra/Mythra presentation that there will be NO Fighter Pass 3 after those last 2 characters. I believe the chances for Hayabusa are really, really good too and that he's highly possible to be the next one (though I'm predicting Challenger 10 to release in May instead of June), but I'm still not gonna say that it's 100% confirmed he's next. A lot of people in other forums fall into that trap and then wind up disappointed and salty when the character winds up not being the one they wanted.
That's what I keep telling Crash supporters, yet they still cling onto said evidence being sure he's guaranteed or a lock.
That is unfortunately one of the forums I was referring to. Then again, I shouldn't really talk, since my predictions for whose next have been REALLY bad ever since Challenger 4. What do I mean?
I literally just said that Sakurai basically said in the Pyra Presentation that there isn't going to be a Fighter Pass 3. And maybe if people in these forums didn't always become so doom and gloom every time a fake leak or random screenshot comes out referencing their most wanted characters not making it, or freak out when it's not a character they want, despite them always saying beforehand "No matter who it is, don't be mad, because there's always next time!", then I wouldn't have to keep reminding people to temper their expectations so much.
You're not sharing evidence, though. Claims like Sans was released as a Mii costume with Banjo because of the similar way they speak sounds so ludacris and highly unlikely. Travis was added with Steve because of similar weapons? I mean, wut, are you talking about their blue swords??? You can only do so much to create so many coincidences in your mind that happen to support your most wanted. I'm fine with theorycrafting but don't claim it as hard evidence. Ryu may or not be coming so I wouldn't put so much stake in anything.
I'm surprised anybody would predict Nakoruru. I myself figured that it was going to be either Terry or Athena since they both can be consider SNK mascots. Even in the reveal trailer when neither character was shown up until Terry was revealed, I knew it had to be one of them.That is unfortunately one of the forums I was referring to. Then again, I shouldn't really talk, since my predictions for whose next have been REALLY bad ever since Challenger 4. What do I mean?
1) When the SNK leak happened, I predicted Nakoruru to be Challenger 4, but it wound up being Terry.
2) I predicted Challenger 5 to be either KOS-MOS or Ryu Hayabusa, but it was Byleth.
3) For the ARMS character I was predicting Ribbon Girl, but it was Min Min.
4) For Challenger 7, I predicted Rex & Pyra, but it was Steve.
5) For Challenger 8, I was predicting either Ryu or Crash, but it was Sephiroth.
6) And for Challenger 9 I was predicting either Ryu or Crash again, but it was Pyra and Mythra.
Maybe I should stop trying to predict characters as I've had six strikes already
That was more me being hopeful than objective I will admit
You kept it short compared to me
and I agree with the points you made
With this glitch, It says any projectile is affected, so it's not just Bow and Arrow
Hayabusa can also do that as he reflects projectiles in his game and does that super speed thing
Can you elaborate on this? I don't understand what super speed thing you're talking about. And by reflecting projectiles do you mean just blocking them? Because I've never seen Ryu reflect projectiles while running or blocking in the games, unless it's in a cutscene or something I'm missing. Otherwise, I don't know what game(s) you're referring too. The only time I remember Ryu ever able to reflect projectiles is in Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword where he has to attack the projectile at the right time to do so.

So an Ultimate Technique? He's not reflecting any projectiles. If you're referring to the green essence there, he's absorbing it to charge the Ultimate Technique instantly. There's no reflection happening here. He's also just invulnerable during it and can't get hurt by anything, including projectiles. Projectiles may touch him, sure, but he won't be reflecting them during Ultimate Techniques.
No offense, but I don't really know what you two are talking about. I haven't seen anyone say Crash is a lock on his thread. Were all just hopeful and excited over there. I would also recommend that everyone temper their expectations, no matter who they're rooting for.That is unfortunately one of the forums I was referring to.

Sorry if I got a bit aggressive toward you, myself. But I like to be realistic about this stuff at the same time.
What are your predictions for the remaining Fighter Pass 2 slots again?
It’s alright there is definitely nothing wrong in being real when it comes to speculation, although I do have one speculation question for all of you guys: We obviously know that in retrospect the Geno Mii Costume was saved for a second Square Enix rep and costumes like Heihachi and Gil were saved for Steve and Min Min respectively, my question is why do you guys personally think the Lloyd Irving Mii Costume has been held off on? I personally don’t think it’s Lloyd as a fighter (which would be really awesome but I don’t think it is) So what do you think it’s for?
At this point I honestly don't know.
They don't need a reason to hold off on Lloyd's Mii costume for last. It could be just complete coincidence that it just happens then. There's also Tales of Arise with a release date of this year but afaik it's not coming to Switch so that may be a moot point. Not everything needs a reason for happening. Did the Monster Hunter Mii costumes come with a playable Monster Hunter or Capcom rep? No. Then it's a complete possibility that Lloyd will also come with an unrelated character for no reason whatsoever than just needing to return from Smash 4. Again, being last doesn't make it any more special than others. Of course, the Mii costume coming with a Namco rep is also a possibility.

if you're still adding supporters, I'd love to be one of them. Ninja Gaiden belongs in Smash, without a doubt.
Well think about it this way, almost all of the major choices have been made, we have Joker, Hero, Banjo & Kazooie, Terry Bogard, Byleth, Min Min, Steve, Sephiroth, and now Pyra and Mythra, almost all of the realizable and negotiable choices have been done and ATLUS, Square Enix, SNK, and Microsoft are out of the way, a Nintendo rep is obviously never out of the way as this is a Nintendo crossover, but what I’m saying is yeah if Sakurai and Nintendo wanted too they could easily go to any company and ask for a character that’s true, but and this just me speculating and nothing more, Nintendo seems to team up primarily with their partners as well as other Japanese companies when it comes to reps, yes you do have Microsoft here but once again that is easy to do given their partnership. Most of the third parties are from Japanese companies such as SEGA, Bandai Namco, CAPCOM, Konami, and more so it’s very easy (in my opinion I could totally be wrong) to work within distance that is why I am saying that in terms of Japanese companies most of them are out of the way in the sense that they already have a playable character in this pass or they are represented through Spirits or Mii Costumes. Yes we do have Japanese companies such as ARC SYSTEMS WORKS and Natsume and such that would be easy to work with (at least I hope they would be easy to work with) but none of those companies have what KOEI TECMO does, which is the INSANELY strong partnership with each other (no offense or diss intended to other companies). As we have repeated Nintendo and KOEI TECMO’S bromance to death I won’t go much further on it but my point is is when it comes to realizable and negotiable choices (meaning that they could easily go up to the IP holder/third party and say “hey we want to do this and this is that ok?” and they easily respond “yeah sure let’s make that happen!”) KOEI TECMO seems to be the easiest to choose from a business standpoint. Once again Nintendo can easily go to many other companies and ask and they can also very well say yes but given that they have gone with their strong Third Party partners (Square Enix Microsoft, Monolithsoft) throughout this pass, KOEI TECMO is definitely one to consider (P.S. I know Monolithsoft is owned by Nintendo but they are a Japanese company nonetheless so I just thought I’d throw them in there)I feel like talking about Ninja Gaiden, so hello everyone!
I've been on a huge Ninja Gaiden kick these past few weeks. The announcement of the Master Collection has me so excited. I've only ever played Sigma 2 and Razor's Edge and only finished the latter. I know that Razor's Edge gets a lot of flack, but I honestly loved it. It's probably one of my top 5 Wii U games. I'm really excited to play it again, along with the rest of the trilogy in June. I've also been learning the speedrun for the original Ninja Gaiden on NES, which might be the dumbest decision I've ever made, but it's actually been surprisingly fun! It's tough, but learning the levels inside and out is really satisfying.
Maaan, I really hope Hayabusa makes it in. I honestly don't think about him all that much because I've always just expected him to be in Fighters Pass 2. I really have been getting a little bit nervous for him though. I definitely still think he's a front runner. He has everything going for him. Still, with only two slots left, I am getting a little antsy. Let's hope that he pulls through.
Anyway,
Ryu Hayabusa and Crash Bandicoot both being revealed around E3 time.
This is the dream. Even though it’s become an extremely common prediction, this really does sound like the perfect ending. Both characters have always been strong picks, and unlike other popular predictions, Crash and Hayabusa have only seemed likelier and likelier as time’s passed.
Ryu and Crash would be a great ending to Smash Ultimate imho
