I can personally see Ryu as a potential for Brawl. I'm not sure whether or not a thread had been made yet, so I've started another/new one.
now, let's look at the pros
1. Street Fighter has made an appearance on the SNES, and it's Sega Megadrive version is most probably going to be released on the Wii Shop channel at some point.
2. Capcom has good ties with nintendo
3. Being a fighter, and with those memorable fighting moves, Ryu seems like a good fit for Brawl.
ok, those are the three main reasons for why Ryu has a chance in Brawl. so, let's see how he would fit in.
although bulky, Ryu is a light character. I'm guessing that from his martial arts training, his attack power and speed is a little above average, but his agility may lower his defence, making him easier to knock around.
I'm not sure whether or not he's third or second (most probably third) so I'm gonna take into account the different costume ideas if he's third party.
his standard would be black hair, white gi, red headband and sparring gloves.
his red team costume would make his gi red, hair blonde, gloves brown (so, Ken look alike)
his blue team costume would make his gi dark blue, skin darker, eyes red (Evil Ryu from the later street fighter games and fan game MUGEN)
green team would be green gi, blue headband and gloves (no reference, so no picture, sorry)
a bonus costume could be a black gi, red hair, no head band, sandles and prayer beads (so, Akuma, who made his first appearance in SF2 turbo as a secret boss)
okay, special moves...
Standard B: Hadouken (fireball)/Denjin Hadouken (charged fireball): tapping the B button throws a fire ball, making 5% damage, charging it will boost it to 25% damage
Up B: Shoryuken (Dragon Punch): Ryu launches himselfinto the air, using a twirling uppercut. it travels a medium distance. the attack will do 12% damage
side B: Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku (Hurricane Kick): Ryu spins through the air with one leg extended. the move sends him across the stage for a short distance, sending four consecutive hits in both the left and right direction. if used in mid air, the move will still send him side ways, and pause his fall. like Luigi's rocket move in melee, Ryu's Hurricane Kick can be used multiple times in the air. each hit will do 4% damage
Down B: Joudan Sokutou Geri (Ramming Kick): this is a working progress. a variation of the move from the street fighter 3 series, Ryu flips onto his hands and springs forward. both feet are used in a kick to knock opponents far. in the air, the kick will be similar to Captain Falcon's ariel Falcon Kick (except with no flames) which will also knock opponents back. this attack will do 17% damage.
Final Smash
now, I'm still thinking this through, but, I want to use the Reppuu Jinrai Shoryu, which is one of his super attacks.
what happens is, Ryu locks onto the nearest opponent and attacks with multiple punches and kicks. after this, three Shoryukens will be used. the final one sending the opponent flying, and sending Ryu twice the distance in the air.
so what do you think?
