This is the closest we're ever getting to VF6.

Has there ever even been a Virtua Fighter game on a Nintendo system?

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?

lol you are seriously going to have to provide a link on this

Like honestly as soon as I heard Namco was on the game I assumed Pac Man was in, how did the people who own the character not do the same :psypac:

People are saying that Eternal Dreamland from Triple Deluxe is in also. It's a good choice, but I would have preferred an arranged Moonstruck Blossom.
Best Kirby final boss theme in recent memory, IMO, and it would fit the stage better to boot.

During the roundtable from last E3 that wasn't allowed to streamed or recorded. I have to assume all it took to get them to understand Pac-Man was getting in instead of Heihachi was Sakurai saying how happy Mr. Miyamoto was that his favorite video game character was finally in Smash Bros. after all this time.

I mean, I'd understand if they were released mid-tournament...but as long as they're out for a day or so before so all the tourney machines can download them, what's the concern?

Learning to use them and defend against them?

Like seriously when Mewtwo was released I dreaded running into him online because I haven't played Melee in ages and had no idea what he could do.

Yeah, it got bandied around the internet but everybody dismissed it as rumor-mongering. Sure is weird seeing what ends up being true after the fact.
I don't think they found any other characters, but data for Ryu's stage and another Kirby stage were found, IIRC.

Is there a single thing different about Roy because right now I'm refusing to believe Sakurai actually complied with the demands of Melee fanboys and brought back a loving stupid clone character while also just slapping Marth's Final Smash onto him.

Man at this point the majority of these things are turning out true. Rayman was the only really successful fake leak.

Give Sakurai time. He will find away. The lack of eskimos in Smash 4 haunts him.

Also, how the hell are Ryu and Roy already ready to go? How long have they been working on them?

The official reason that Mr. Wizard gave was because he wants to give his competitors time to learn how to master and counter the DLC characters. Mewtwo's had plenty of time, but he cockblocked Lucas as soon as he was announced. Who knows, maybe Ryu will be so hype he'll change his mind.

Huh, the character portrait is Mario, I wonder if he swapped files around to just turn Mario into Ryu or what. I didn't know Wii U hacking was that far along, the only thing I had seen was someone messing with Mario Kart 8 a little.

Ryu's spinning kick doesn't put him into helpless state, but his vertical recovery is poo poo.
All of his attacks seem to have disproportionately large amounts of hitstun, looks very meaty when you hit somebody.
