It is. You do extra damage if you do the haduken input, same with his other specials. It's in the move tips, @PushDustIn has ripped the text and has it all translated. @ DMurr DMurr and myself helped put the article together, we're trying to publish it now.
Move tips?

EDIT: Nvm, just saw that you're publishing it. Sweet.

@Khoru

I agree that MGS is an eccentric series with plenty of comedy and quirks. The series is probably so popular in part of the fact that it's so unique. You won't find a series that can carry as many heavy elements and moments as it does, but convincingly fit in the comic relief it does: Otacon going geek over anime not long after Gray Fox kills a bunch of people, the transmitter in MGS3, Ocelot juggling revolvers, the diarrhea running gag in MGS4, pretty much all the absurdity in Rising, etc.

But I don't really believe that makes it fit with Smash's general genre types. Do I particularly care? Not really. Snake is a great character in-and-out of the Smash series and I'd absolutely love his presence in this game. I just question if Sakurai views Snake as a character that so easily fits with this franchise or its demographic, and if that was part of his motivation for passing Snake up.

Now, does MGS fit better than a straight military series? Yes. By a hundred miles. I actually think that MGS is, in its own way, what would happen if Nintendo decided to make a "Mature" M-rated game. It's signed off on other very quirky series with plenty of objectional content (NMH, Bayonetta.)

Roy looks solid too. I'm with @ Burb Burb and feel way better about his inclusion now that he's Luigi-fied more.

What if this whole thing just ended up being a really elaborate fake?

Ignoring female Robin, I like that Lucina's the only one of the FE characters with their head pointing right.

I have to say, I'm impressed that Roy's animations are so unique, even if a lot of the moves are functionally the same as they were before. Makes me all the more excited about a possible return for this guy:
:pichumelee:

Seriously, to the point where I'm not sure I want Squirtle back the most anymore.

I'm putting Ryu in the Mac/Robin rotation.

Lucas is cool and Roy is okay but Ryu is gonna take me to the top

Sakurai broadcasts himself, laughs, and says

"You never considered that I can make fake leaks too!"

Ryu looks so good.

Roy being Luigifed makes me giddy with glee.

And Lucas is just a plum cutie patootie who kicks booty.

I'm so excited for Roy and Ryu at this point that it's going to be a huge letdown if they make the arbitrary decision to not release them with Lucas. Not that I'm anticipating that happening for any reason except my own pessimism and the fact that, now that I'm excited for these characters, I'll be forced to wait for them. :p

I've never had such a formatting nightmare in my life.

If they decloned Roy a bit then they should bring back Young Link with some new tools.

Lucas was one of my mains in Brawl, Roy was one of my mains in Melee, and Ryu looks like he'll be one of my mains in Smash 4.

Tomorrow is going to be beautiful.

I don't see any reason to believe that Toon Link and Young Link aren't the same entity in concept.

I want an updated Ivysaur
