Does this guy know the voting is open until October and Ryu wasn't even influenced by it?

The answer lies in the heart of battle.

Nobody voted for Wii Fit Trainer either.

And looking at a the results on Smash Boards barely anybody voted for Knuckles in PM either. Liquid Snake got more support than the Echidna did.

Dammit I knew this was coming but I'm still really salty about Roy. Who thought it was a good idea to make two Marth clones :mad:
I think Roy's going to be Luigified some, but I still don't like his inclusion because he isn't very significant as far as Fire Emblem goes. I think he's in this weird Jigglypuff situation where he got in because of his connection with the Smash Bros series rather than his connection with his home series.

I've got the advantage. You've got nothing.
As a longtime Street Fighter fan, it makes me happy to see Ryu representing the franchise. I hope he's at least a strong character. I don't want him to be "Charizard" bad.

It's obviously promotion for SMT X FE and the new Fire Emblem. Roy will probably be in both.

No one, because FE:if should have a rep instead.

I'm pretty sure Ryu is going to have a super meter.

According to voice clips and other data mined from the game:

-His Final Smash trophy depicts him doing a Shin Shoryuken.
-In addition to that, he has voice clips for Shakunetsu Hadouken (EX Fireball), Shinkuu Tatsumaki (EX spinning kick) and Shinkuu Hadouken (super fireball).

So it either means he has two Final Smashes, or he has a meter which he is able to spend on EX moves and even a super.

I'm inclined to believe the latter.

It seems more likely to me that Ex Fireball and Ex spin kick are the smash/tilt variants on his down/side b, in the same way Samus can choose between smash missile and tilt missile. Then his gimmick becomes that he has two finals, which is still in line with his roots (most if not all characters in SF games have at least 2 supers) and they don't give him meter (which is Macs gimmick already).

Roy probably got in largely because clones are super quick and easy to implement. You already have all the animation and move-set programming done, and you even have a really solid head start on the character model. It's got to be a fraction of the time to make a clone than a full new character. It's not like we would've gotten Ryu and another FE rep or new character if we didn't get Roy, we would have likely gotten Ryu and nobody.

I think I'd like Roy a lot more if he was redesigned as an SMT demon, like Gangrel here:




However, it's more likely Roy would look like this guy, who might be a demonic Chrom:

Ice Climbers are not coming back becaude they will never work on the 3DS version. Sakurai will not move on the idea of having the same characters in both versions so it is never happening.

What if they just announced a single Ice Climber?

Popo or Nana, or both, as alternate costumes with different voices.

You know they say that all demons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Pyro Jack and you can see that statement is not true, hee-ho!
I would accept an Ice Climber as just Popo/Nana with an adjusted moveset. The question is, would the world accept them?

Also, Bubbles for Smash.

I hope Roy finds out his ancestor Roland in our world fought dragons and poo poo and was related to the actual Charlemagne. We'll get to find out who killed Charlemagne in real life.

I thought Ryu was one of those really awesome options that seemed unlikely, but looking back, there was nothing stopping Capcom from getting two characters.

Too bad there's a lot more factors keeping Mortal Kombat characters from getting in. Could you imagine Scorpion and Ryu in the same game together?

I'll never forget that Namco corporate thought they were just automatically putting Heihachi into Smash For and the thought of Pac-Man being their guest fighter didn't cross their mind at all.

Like they just assumed Heihachi was their go-to company mascot for crossovers and...yeah he does represent one of their biggest IPs but putting him in before loving Pac-Man? You own THE Pac-Man and he wasn't your first choice?

I'm still holding out for an undisclosed longshot character, but Ryu getting in makes it feel just a tiny bit more possible.
