Shotokan Dojo - Ryu Social Thread

[Mr. Johan]

The entire SF fighting scene in my state wants to get Smash 4 now just so they can main Ryu with pride.

Well done, Sakurai.

 

[Zajice]

Can Smash be a "real fighting game" now?

 

[Gaminguy010]

Personally I feel that having to input the commands from the original game makes Ryu overcomplicated and goes against the simplicity of Smash Bros. (and personally the whole input < v > X ^ ^ A < > ^ B for a special move is why I don't play any other fighting games.) but that's just my opinion.

On that note I'm more than willing to try to learn Ryu.

 

[Graizen]

 

[CyberWolfBia]

I did it first :< *(but way less technique)

 

[ADAPT Chance]

Ryu is looking to be technical and execution heavy which I love.

To someone who asked earlier, yes Mega Man has many set ups into Mega Upper.

 

[Strider_Bond00J]

Looking at Suzaku Castle - any thoughts on it as a competitive stage?

Regardless, I have no doubt in my mind that Ryu is set to be one of our most unique characters to ever join the Super Smash Bros roster!

With it's atypical platforms, some might argue one could circle camp on it?? We'll have to see when it's released.

 

[smokebomb12]

Where will nintendos stream be at?

 

[ADAPT Chance]

if you are talking about the direct tomorrow then it will be at Nintendo's Twitch channel.

 

[Nixon Corral]

This is outstanding.

Also, jeez, I'm more hype for Ryu as a newcomer than I have been since Mega Man was announced way back in 2013. Except I think Ryu will be a lot more fun to play. This update can't drop soon enough.

 

[Funkermonster]

Hadouken!

Shoryuken!

Tatsumaki Senpukyaku!

Shinku... HADOUKEN!!!

Shin.... SHORYUUUKEN!!

Talk is cheap!

Come on!

The only words that have been on my mind all day...

 

[Xenoblade Hero]

I'm amazed that Ryu's going to be in Smash Bros, never saw it coming. May have to try and master him alongside Lucas, roll on the Nintendo Direct!

 

[Bullys]

Super pumped, came at just the right time. Really wanted another character to work on.

Really hope its not a long wait, though right now more than 5 minutes feels like long.

The right side is a walk off
Irony in hand, I would say to assume that the Street Fighter stage would be banned, of all stages. =P

 

[The_Cardinal]

Just watch the first week of For Glory become vanilla SF4. Ryu only, omega Suzaku Castle, Hadoken and Shoryuken flow chart all day long.

In all seriousness, Ryu is pretty hype. This will be great.

 

[swordsman09]

In all seriousness, I want to see people get some 1-frame links with Ryu. Is he out yet?

 

[Zef]

ONE HOUR LEFT

i hope he gets released

 

[CyberWolfBia]

I'll be selfish and superficial hoping for this thing in Ryu's update (even though most of people think it's a completely pointless feature):

also, .. I'm so pumped to try Ryu in Smash Run!

It's not happening as it wasn't released on the Wii U's Virtual Console similar to how Sonic the Hedgehog (1991 video game) wasn't released on the Wii U's virtual console. The Masterpieces are taken from games that are already available on the eShop, there would be no way to include Street Fighter II without a lot of unnecessary work.

I could've sworn it was on there.

 

[.Shìkì]

One hour from now we can get him!

 

[PMMikey]

I'm happy that he's coming into the game but I fear he's going to wreck the meta. Like he will over throw Sheik. Knowing now that he can attack dash cancel attack and kill from what I've seen super early and with the stronger inputs and weaker inputs his combos will wreck.

Street Fighter 2 (all SNES versions) are on the Virtual Console

 

[Katakiri]

I'm over here looking at Ryu like

I don't want my shield broke and my life destroyed. I'm gonna be in someone's For Glory combo video TODAY!

 

[KuroganeHammer]

gonna do frame data for ryu tomorrow

 

[swordsman09]

I think you all have to consider that the input moves will require meter. Think about that for a second.

 

[Deleted member]

They probably would've touched on it in the Direct if that was true.

 

[Firefoxx]

Yeah I don't think there is any meter management. which is absolutely nuts

 

[Zajice]

I honestly wouldn't worry about it. More complicated doesn't mean he's immediately better. And he can only dash cancel the focus attack, because that's a traditional feature in street fighter.

 

[Skyfox2000]

Well im Glad Ryu has made it in! Congrats to everybody who wanted him to join!

 

[Nate1080]

He can also cancel tilts (atm only dtilts are known to cancel) into specials if the tilts connect with the opponent/shield.

 

[Champ Gold]

Here are some pics, hopefully we can get more, also is the e-shop still down?

 

[Arcadenik]

I am hyped for Roy (who knew?) and especially Ryu!

Ryu is a fantastic addition to the Smash roster. It is pretty cool how he has Street Fighter II controls... but he also has simple Smash controls.

 

[CrazyPerson]

I never was a street fighter fan. But I recognize the iconic series for it's history in video games.

Pretty awesome how far smash bros has come. Started as this low budget idea, given nintendo characters to help sell... and now this game is one of the best party games, has a very strong competitive scene, and now many 3rd parties are loaning it their IP.

It is great to see someone from this series, which has a noteable spot in video game history, come to our game.

 

[Tito Maas]

Nintendo is such a great video game company. It's so innovative for them to give Ryu the ability to still do Street Fighter combos while maintaining the Smash scheme as well. No one else could pull that off as well as Nintendo.

 

[Zeth444]

I didnt buy Mewtwo, Im not buying Lucas..

BUT BE SURE ILL BUY RYU AND EVERY FREAKING STAGE YOU RELEASE

NINTENDO, TAKE MY MONEY

Now, about his stage, I feel like it can be competitive, but Im conserned by The fact we will have 3 identical stages (battlefield, miiverse and dreamland)

 

[StupendousMike]

So with that Heihachi Mii costume that shows up in Ryu's trailer... Is Heihachi now the only character to appear in both Smash and PS All-Stars?

 

[Eureka]

I don't think Suzaku castle has much competitive merit, what with the walk-off and all. Dream Land, while it has a similar platform arrangement, still has differences from battlefield, such as Wispy Woods. And Miiverse was designed to be the same as battlefield, that's probably why it's free, because it's just a reskin.

 

[Gene]

Has anyone bought him yet? The eshop is too busy for me to do anything.
