Yeah, that's basically how tiers are decided, right?
Probably because both Street Fighter and Ryu are just that iconic.
Not completely. It does have influence though.
Was Capcom that involved outside of lending rights to Mega Man? Namco-Bandai was the one that helped with developing Smash 4.
Oops. You're right. It was Namco-Bandai that helped with Smash 4. That's my mistake, and I apologize. Still, I would imagine that getting the rights to Ryu would be easier than most other Fighting-game characters, since Capcom already gave permission to include Mega Man. It may not be that much easier than normal, but it's still probably a little bit easier.
Hm. I never thought about that possibility, but it honestly wouldn't surprise me. Smash is a huge series, and I imagine that getting your character into it is a dream come true. I know that Konami approached Sakurai about Snake, but I'm interested in the stories behind Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac-Man. It could definitely provide some insight on how 3rd party characters are determined, and it would probably increase our accuracy when it comes to character predictions. Excellent thought, Ryu Myuutsu!
He is basically the face of 2D fighters. Scorpion/Sub-Zero ain't got **** on him in terms of recognizability.
It's not like Ryu is going to cause Mega Man to get cut or anything.
That's not the point I'm making.
Because, Capcom won't allow it, sadly. I love the Street Fighter games to death. There haven't been any real notable Mega Man appearances recently, however, without the presence of Ryu...
I still stand by my point.
Well, it'd be the first time a character from a fighting game has been in Smash (read: Fighting, as in combos and all that jazz.)
Ok! Send me a request and we'll play asap.Hey Speed let's trade codes, I wanna see what your Mewtwo's like
Well the costumes that we have now don't have different victory themes...
Anything is possible. Besides, taking a leak as certain before you are shown concrete, undeniable evidence such as gameplay is a very bad idea. It's why the ESRB leak was proven true, and why Gematsu and Rayman got a lot of backlash.
Welp, that means Capcom USA is going to sue the **** out of Nintendo.
Except that they may as well. Those two becoming playable is significantly more likely then anything else those files could mean, especially special mii costume themes.
Well, anything is possible. Liquid's right. Believing full fledged that those sound files mean that those two are definitely going to be playable could be setting yourself up for disappointment.
Um, you do realize that if Sakurai did this, he would seriously p*** off a ton of people who really want these characters right?
Give Sakurai some credit here, he did a lot for Ridley and even said that he didn't want to make the character in the wrong way and upset people.Someone disagrees
He still did. That's the problem.
You DO realize Ridley acts completely different in sm4sh than in Metroid? He flies around doing nothing before realizing there are enemies, he helps out when slapped hard enough and he drains energy from purple things. In Metroid, Ridley's very aggresive, would focus on the person attacking him and has no energy draining capabilities. Sakurai ****ed up with him hard
Well, again, I do think they are coming but remember we aren't supposed to know about those sound files.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Ridley in Smash 4, in fact he got the most detailed treatment of any other NPC character; it's just people wanting to get offended for not having him playable instead, all while victimizing themselves and the guy. Please let's stop overdramatizing about the way he is, the guy wasn't ****ed up. It's also ironic that people feel the need to come up to defend the big, badass and ruthless dragon like he is some poor, defenseless pup.
Sakurai said Ridley wasn't playable specifically because it wouldn't be Ridley anymore. Ridley's personality is being sadistic, why would he join your side after getting smacked? "It's done for a unique mechanic" But THAT'S not Ridley! He's laughably slow too, it literally takes 3 seconds for him to charge up a claw swipe! Ghirahim at least attacks like he's Ghirahim, but Ridley doesn't help when summoned, it's that Ridley has the unique gimmick of having to be beaten to submission. If he were an AT I wouldn't really have this problem
So Ridley attacks 3 seconds later... seriously? That is one of your gripes? It still sounds very trivial.
Fight Ridley in any other game, he's pretty fast, by the attack speed I meant how easily telegraphed his attacks are, he barely attacks here yet in Other M, he attacks almost the whole time! Ghirahim is summoned by an AT. Ridley has to be slapped. There's a difference. Sakurai also showed he doesn't care about Ridley as he considers joining sides after being slapped is more accurate to Ridley's canon than having small wings, oops! Ridley has small wings in every 2D game outside of Smash 4!
If you're going to compare Ridley to anyone then do so with Metal Face or Yellow Devil and not an assist trophy.
Metal Face isn't accurate, though he's a coward, he doesn't sit there doing nothing until you come close to him in Xenoblade
One thing out of everything else he has that's accurate. It's a hell of a lot better than the pathetic excuse Sakurai gave us for Ridley.
"B-B-But don't you see?! He'd be too OP!"
