AWKWARD ZOMBIE

My god though, Ryu's English voice is so awesome.
Still salty over how Roy will just be super well received because of thick nostalgia shades, even though he is one of the worst lords in Fire Emblem.

I've never played FE, is he that bad?

None of the units were all that great in Roy's game, but Roy himself also has the disadvantage of promoting very late in the game. This is in contrast with Ike's game, where most of the units not only have greater growth rates, but Ike himself promotes in the middle of the game, giving him plenty of room to grow in his promoted form.



Whoops, fixed that.

Zero Mii swordfighter costume.

WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOR?

Great, another future FE amiibo. Guess I'm still F5ing amazons page.

Also glad that Roy's alt costumes have meaning this time around. The gold one is from Melee, but they're actually based off of real characters in FE6 this time, so that's cool.
Though no Eliwood alt costume is a little disappointing, as well as no new FE trophies that AREN'T FROM AWAKENING.

I guess Sony's bribe cheddar ran out before they could buy Ryu's exclusivity to PlayStation All-Stars 2 alongside Street Fighter V.

I wish Hector was in Smash. At least he uses an axe rather than a sword. :'[

Oh my god Ryu is so cool

Neutral B Hadouken can change based on SF-style button input

He can use a focus attack that Crumbles the opposing character, with a new Crumble animation

He has two different Final Smashes based on distance from opponent: from a distance, he'll use his Shinku Hadouken, up close, a Shin Shoryuken

Kirby's Ryu hat is adorable



Oh, and Roy was mostly decloned


Here's some gameplay footage of Lucas, Ryu and Roy, if you check the video on YouTube the description has an analysis of each character

Wow, they buffed Lucas's tether a ton. Also, Kirby saying hadoken is great.

Hm. It seems Roy's basically gonna be a mix of Marth and Ike now or something.
Seems cool, but still gonna be eternally angry at Roy's inclusion just because opinion. And lack of Eliwood alt.

Roy looks faster than Marth in like, every area. The downside seems to be that his recovery game is fucking shit.

Which actually seems like the case for Ryu too.

I'm curious if Ryu and Roy are gonna be purchasable on the same date that Lucas is... which would be today, I guess.

Only 6 more hours until we find out.

Not really, he's kind of a Falco to Marth at this point. His different attacks are jab - ftilt - fsmash - utilt (the animation is different but it looks to have the same kinda hitbox as Marth's) - dash attack - dair - neutral B - upB, so he still has 6 normals and 2 specials similar to Marth + the grabs.
He should still play very differently because of his high speed and the different properties on his attacks, yeah. He's definitely no Lucina (or no Melee Roy) but he's no Lucas or Wolf either.

Well, I did say "mostly"
