Truth be told, there are so many baseless claims and fake leaks that have been thrown around that I really can't take anyone's word anymore. If they have info something is happening, show some hard evidence or else it's just people spouting off rumors as usual. Needless to say, there's nothing to back up these claims so there's no reason to believe it.
So I found out a little more what was said.
Oh yeah I remember that interview. I also remember it was blown out of proportion before it turned out it had nothing to do with Ryu or Ninja Gaiden.
Guess there won't be any DoA characters in Smash, but that still shouldn't rule out Hayabusa as a possible DLC character since Shimbori only works on Dead or Alive and not Ninja Gaiden for all I know.
For now it seems.
Ninja Gaiden 2 on the Xbox is my favorite Character Action game of all time. I highly recommend people check this and Black if given the opportunity.
Might as well add Strider to the list and get the Trinity of classic videogame ninjas (at least the ones that aren't Turtles).
Good lord with Revenge Of Shinobi and its bosses.
Oh yeah! This game had GODZILLA!
Well this is just excellent!
I’m conflicted with this one. On one hand, I think Ryu Hayabusa would be just as great a candidate for Smash Bros as the next person on this thread, but on the other hand, why would Nintendo of Europe send data of those characters in such a way that Fighter Pass ads pop up when you try to search for them? I feel like this doesn’t add up for some odd reason. Forget a grain of salt, we need all the Bonneville Salt Flats for this rumor.
This supposed
Fair enough.
I generally don't believe leaks when they give me something I want. In fact it was only today that I heard Ryu was with the Google leak. I think Pushdustin showed how you can create this leak. So there's that.
He talk about DOA, Ninja gaiden is another thing. He don't have control about hayabusa license.
I've said this before, but I want his reveal trailer to be a recreation of the intro of the NES game, but with him and Greninja.
That'd be cool. It's a strong callback to the very first Ninja Gaiden game and would be great to see this scene recreated for Smash. However, I think the main thing I have against it is the surprise factor immediately being given out once you see both him and Greninja at the very beginning. Perhaps a few ways around this would be putting a silhouette over Hayabusa, having him offscreen until they clash, or replacing him with Sheik but have Ryu sweep in as soon as they clash knocking them off screen.
I was thinking similarly, where they're both just shadows until they drop down at the end. Greninja is still obviously Greninja because of his unique shape, but Ryu's silhouette is more generic.
That's generally has been the logic now. TK is the last major Japanese publisher to not have a character in Smash yet.
Me too. I feel like people get a little too hung up on the NES era games that they kinda forgot that he still exists. And had a complete trilogy of action games.Right now; Hayabusa is one of my most wanted characters to be added to Smash Ultimate.
(Admittedly, I'd prefer the modern/reboot version of Hayabusa.)
Mine is more or less the same. Just replacing Greninja with Shiek.
I think it would be in 2D anime style, reminiscent of the cutscenes from the NES games. The opening fight seems like a good idea to reference, it's pretty iconic and distinctive and the moon helps keep him in shadow until the reveal.
You forgot the heroes v villain montage.
Instead of a Hero Vs Villain Montage, it would be a montage of every single third party character in Smash.
I like this idea because it almost reminds me of the opening scene of Ninja Gaiden NES where Ryu’s father Ken was killed in a duel by an unknown attacker. It gives tribute to the original NES game, and especially the gag between Hayabusa and Ryu since both of their names begin with Ryu.
I think the mountain stage from the first game, with respawning enemies as stage hazards, would be a fun callback.
