I'd buy other company reps if they were offered. Not worried about what's 'fair', I am worried about what exists and can be purchased. If they added Namco's Valkyrie, I'd go for it. If they added Sega's Ryo Hazuki, I'd buy it.

As it is, we're getting Ryu. I'm okay with that.

So what do you guys think about the possibility of Roy coming back and Ryu getting in the roster? Yay or nay?
Nay.
I'm not a fan of Roy. I don't think that he'll add too much to the roster other than be a reverse Marth with a fire sword. I want to be impressed, but I have severe doubts. I guess he could represent the GBA games, though I prefer Lyn for that role.
As for Ryu, eh. I rather have other 3rd party characters like Bomberman and I prefer other Capcom characters like Amaterasu and Phoenix Wright over Ryu.

To be completely honest
I think Roy returning is a horrible decision

We don't need three Marth clones. If Nintendo was really that desperate for a clone character, I can think of many characters that would be more unique even if they were clones. Roy adds nothing to the roster. If they're doing it just for GBA FE representation, then add Lyn, Eirika, or Ephraim instead

I'd rather have Snake back then have Ryu join the fight. Though honestly I feel like if we get another rep from each of these 3rd parties then it's not gonna feel like smash anymore. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. It's just that it's going to become the gaming version of Jump Star Vs. but instead with Nintendo featuring Sega, Capcom, and Namco.

Which does sound like a cool idea, but then again that's why we have Mugen.

I can't support either Roy or Ryu, personally. I don't see what people see in Roy, and I don't feel Ryu fits in properly with the tone Smash sets, especially under Sakurai's direction.

I suppose I've been wrong before - see also Lucina, Snake - but the fact that I'm basically echoing everyone else at this point suggests otherwise.

Just wait a few years till you see all the Sonic OCs i've been gathering, it will be the greatest ban comeback of all time :4sonic:
All your OCs have done naught but made me stronger. They cannot harm me now, I am invincible. :4falcon:

Though out of everything, I hope the day never comes to where I'll see this on a Smash game case.

I'm indifferent on both characters, though Roy seems more unnecessary given Lucina, even if he has more differences.

Hrm. I don't really know either of the characters all that well, but I'll have to say nay, for Roy at least. All he has is a flaming sword. No more Marth clones. Please Sakurai.

On another note. Happy 25th anniversary fire emblem! May you keep being an awesome game series for years to come. In celebration of this event, here's a video one of the top people on serenesforest did:

So r/spongebros is a thing where they tie smash content with spongebob (because everything can be related to spongebob), and I'm loving it.

If they just make Roy as an alt for Marth or Lucina then I'd be fine, but please don't give him an entire character slot.

Ryu on the other hand is a cool choice I think. And it makes sense considering he's from a fighting game series that has had plenty of exposure on Nintendo consoles. Although I do share peoples sentiments that Capcom already has a rep, plus people would probably start screaming "CAPCOM vs. NINTENDO" CONFIRMED! Besides if we're going for 3rd party fighters, let's get some Banjo-Kazooie going! Maybe even some Final Fantasy? *cough*TerraBranford4Smash*cough*

Isaac from Golden Sun => Phoenix Wright > the rest
(I say => because I want both equally, but Isaac has a far greater chance of actually getting in)

Apart from those two, there isn't really anyone else I'd want as DLC, except maybe the return of Snake.

Oh gods, I lost it at Miriel's, then Libra's, then WALHART'S. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Also, I would really hate if Roy came back over the other vastly more interesting FE Lords, and I don't think we need more Marth clones. I can't say much about Ryu, but I would rather we get someone from a different company before getting second helpings from Capcom.

There's no chance Dante would ever happen.

Could you imagine trying to pick only FOUR special moves for him?

Dude has like 50+ moves in Marvel, and that's a game with a significantly more complex input system than Smash offers.

Edit: The actual number, upon further research, is 41.

nailed my exact sentiments on another Capcom rep, I suppose Ryu is still better than Morrigan (why people want her in when she only appeared through crossover games and believe Darkstalkers was ever that big, I've no idea).

Also, Dante has less connections to Nintendo than Ryu does.

No way in Hell is Dante getting into Smash.

Ruy has like, 5ish major ones, and most of them are variantions.

Up-B: Shoryuken
Side-b: Tatsumaki
Neutral B: Hadoken
Down B: Focus Attack

Boom, done, I did it.
Whoa, not bad.

Though you forgot his final smash

Final Smash: Kamahameha

:troll:.

No, not really.

Nice to see ya again, BTDubs.
Hi NonSpecificGuy :). How are you?

The origin of the joke is that Sonic was originally designed by Sega to be a "cooler, hipper, and all around radder" protagonist than Mario. But years later Sega decided Sonic wasn't "edgy" enough anymore, so they cloned Vegeta made Shadow. A Sonic the Hedgehog character so "edgy" he got to use GUNS! AND SWEAR! (At least in his game anyway)

Ryu will be a Mega Man clone, obviously.

If Roy is really coming back, that'd be hilarious. "Chrom would be too similar to Ike. by the way, here's female Marth and red hair Marth."
Myrmidon Sumia reminds me of new IF myrmidon. Too bad her eyes aren't closed anymore, she'd be the perfect Sumia!Henry child.

Also, I would want that Walhart.

and thus, the world is saved from another potential Smash moveset argument

But pretty much agreed, Dante would be a pain to translate, Ryu wouldn't be, which is why someone more out there like Phoenix Wright should be the potential Capcom 2nd rep!

Nay to both.
I would prefer a large number of options to both characters.
For Melee clones I'd rather see both Pichu and Young Link before Roy. Yeah.
For clones in general there's too many to list.
For Capcom characters, Amaterasu and Jill/Leon from Resident Evil. Don't really care about Street Fighter whatsoever.
