So with Ryu it is weird that you can do the simple special input (like every Smash character) or the more complex one which seems to be strictly better because it is more powerful. So the simple way is always the wrong way. Maybe Sakurai thought this sounded like an awesome competitive feature, but it's just a dumb mechanic conceptually since it is a false choice. Not like having a simple to execute throw that is easy to do under pressure or a hard throw that does more damage, there is no risk involved just do the memorized half circle, dragon punch etc. motion.

All the different normals depending on your button press and two Final Smashes sound great, wish these were standard universal abilities throughout the cast.

as long as they don't screw the pooch like Sony did with Kat in PSAS(instead of a double jump she had 8 way airdashing which was exclusive to he and made her broke as hell) we should be fine, going by how Shulk, Rock and Mac turned out.

This alone confirms Roy to be the best character in Sm4sh for me now. I ****ing love it. <3

by virtue of frame advantage the simple versions are always gonna be slightly faster, which might be important, it's too early to tell

Putting competitive meta issues aside...

Ryu looks amazing. I can't wait to try him out.
Also, I think I can now use him as a direct counterargument to people who claim PM Lucario doesn't fit Smash playstyles.

@ Draco_The that's so amazing. Holy crap that's so amazing.

I'd say Ryu fits Smash playstyles less than Lucario. Having QCF-like motions and press/hold differences for normals in a game like Smash doesn't seem very intuitive.

Why are people assuming Ryu plays like PM Lucario? I expect something different honestly.

I'm not assuming he plays like PM Lucario, I'm saying that his playstyle is something very different than smash, similar to PM Lucario.

I'm just super hyped to see how Ryu turns out. I could see him being very, very good if his combos are at the level I saw in the Direct. We could have a Melee-Fox situation where he was developed to be intentionally great in 1v1s.

Ryu is what Lucario would be like if pmdt had actually thought things through kek

But no, he can actually combo, plus his perfect shielf is parrying

Who cares though, time for roy

 

[Comeback Kid]

We can actually say Lucario is much more conservative than people gave him credit for design-wise now. On hit canceling (which Ryu has) and building up your two button supers (Little Mac is sort of like this) are really nothing in comparison to all the special attributes that Ryu has going for him combined. Or Shulk for that matter.

Lucario is pretty damn Smash.

Ryu has the target combo system, not OHC.

Lucario isint very smash like at all, especially since he can just negate shields by comboing into side b

 

[Strong Badam]

Thing into SideB is never a true blockstring with Lucario. Can always buffer roll or spotdodge and it won't work.

If they are crying about quarter circle inputs can't wait when they play a traditional FG like KOF with SNK style inputs they will pull their hair out.

 

[AuraMaudeGone]

Hmm, played Ryu a bit on my brother's 3DS. They did a good job transitioning him into Smash. His combos are actually true, but small strings. I'd pick him up if I played Smash 4.

 

[mimgrim]

I won't be getting the patch until midnight today (hopefully I can get all 3 characters tonight as well if I can get to Gamestop today).

I was watching the PM MK trailer when I saw that MK performed the teleport attack right away. Then I went to traning and found out that he can cancel the teleport into the attack by pressing A lol

Also I really want the old down air back pls

Might as well put goddamn Starscream in Sm4sh at this point.

Idk I vaguely remembered someone in the tier thread saying that not everyone could roll in time/far enough to completely dodge it
