Roy looks so hype! I love how they took some serious inspiration from PM for his up tilt lol

Wow, seriously? You'd think shorter range = more power. Ah well, I still appreciate the effort Sakurai put in to make Roy less clone-y, especially since I preferred him over Marth back when I was a kid playing Melee.

....but I guess if Marth/Lucina miss, they pretty much fly off the stage, so I guess less risk?

You can cancel Marth's Final smash mid way if you miss.
 
So wait, how do we do Tatsu's with stick motions? That's a quarter circle backwards.
Actually, are there EX versions of Shoryuken and Tatsu? Can anyone confirm that?
 
I do feel bad for Sakurai.

Imagine seeing this revealed live tomorrow? Would of been fucking incredible.

That would be one hell of a way to kick off E3 week. I imagine Sakurai being Sakurai, he has a backup bomb to drop in the last few moments of the Direct, but geez what a fuck up.
 
To be fair, everybody knew this was coming anyway. I hope there's at least one "surprise" tomorrow.

Yeah, but we didn't really know the extent of it all.

We'd of seen the stage in actual motion, alongside Ryu's moveset, the inputs alongside his duo final smash.

Should would of been hype as fuck.

Maybe it was good though, since I need to be up early Monday for an exam and the hype would of kept me up all day, lol.

I really hope theres a CGI trailer, at least for Ryu. Is the only surprise they can show on that direct.

O yeah, we really knew, but the designs and video of them moving would be still a great reveal. Now, if theres no CGI trailer, nothing is even remotley near a surprise.

I doubt there'll be an EX Tatsu. You could probably work it if it keeps track of which way you're facing before you start the motion, but that would be confusing for some players during multiplayer matches. And it wouldn't really make sense having EXes for all of his specials, since there's no EX focus. Well, red focus, I guess. EDIT: Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.
 
With how Nintendo has done DLC for Smash there's no possible way there won't be a bundle.

In fact there will probably be three bundles:

1. All three new characters on one platform

2. All three new characters on both Wii U and 3DS

3. All three new characters + new mii fighter costumes on Wii u and 3DS, aka mega bundle

It's what they did when Mew was released with the first batch of mii fighter costumes.

Totally. I prefer shitty but original final smash to another cloned one any day.

What would you say for the stage?

IMO, Dreamland should be free. It looks terrible visually, hardly anything done to it, and it would be weird to sell it by itself.
 
Man... if Ryu doesn't actually get officially released tomorrow it's gonna SUCK cause you know he's completely in the game.

But it also seems like it'd probably be a good call to stall his release a bit to build awareness.

Sorry, forgot the new stages. I suspect Ryu's stage would come with Ryu. I agree Dreamland seems like it'd be a free bonus along with the Miiverse stage.
 
I want this to have been all planned, and they come out tomorrow and announce a Ken and Akuma skin, as well as Bayonetta, Wonder Red, and anyone you could dream of.
 
The direction Ryu is facing.

Direction Ryu's facing as it is in SF proper.

I imagine it may be the way Ryu faces due to the nature of the game?

Fighting inputs in a game like Smash seem weird, so we're gonna have to play this ourselves to see how well it works.

The obvious would be: he turns the way you do it.

But wait, say he wants to do EX Tatsu. That's QCB, right? So he does that, and due to the nature of Smash he'll turn the other direction, and wouldn't that make the motion count as QCF?

I don't think we've seen any other EX other than hadouken. It might be the only one.

How about on the 3DS since it doesn't have the Miiverse stage?

If it is free, I imagine it'll just be on the 3DS and yeah.

I can see the Street Fighter stage being with Ryu, so seems feasible.
 
This totally reminds me of when SvC Chaos came out. We thought we knew the whole roster. A couple interesting picks but it was mostly KoF vs Street Fighter not unlike Capcom vs SNK. And then it came out in Japan and all of a sudden

"HOLY SHIT GUYS!!! I SAW SOMEONE ENTER A RANDOM CODE AND JUST STARTED PLAYING AS ZERO!!! WHAT THE SHIT? GODDESS ATHENA IS A SECRET BOSS ?!? MARS PEOPLE?!? RED ARREMER?!? OMFGWTF@$&##+?/#"

Too bad we saw these two coming though. Imagine if this leak happened WITHOUT knowing about the previous knowledge of Ryu and Roy?

Yeah, I'm sure if you buy Ryu, you'll get his stage as well.

No idea if Dream Land 64 will be paid or free. It really doesn't stand out enough for it to be paid, but I would be surprised (& pleased) if it was free along with Miiverse.

I just know it'll be nice if both get 3DS versions. I still don't mind playing that version to get Smash on the go, but I really do want new stages.
 
This just in! This patch has reintroduced wave dashing and L-cancelling but to perform these moves you must swing your control in the air a quarter circle while pivoting the c-stick ever so slightly.

lol this post

And is rebirth'd into the greatest game ever
Laugh all you want but I feel part of what makes smash so fun and accessible is the fact that the game doesn't have inputs like that.
 
Man this has been quite the fuck up. Completely deflated my hype for tomorrows presentation :/ Oh well...do we know if the stages will be available on 3DS as well? I only have a 3DS. Thinking about it, if everything is released at once, this will be quite pricey. That reminds me I don't have enough eShop credit, lol. And stores are closed tomorrow. Shoot. Gotta wait till Monday then.
 
Glad to see Ryu confirmed. Not so much for Roy, another sword fighter.

Whilst Roy is a "weaker" inclusion due to his previous clone status can we stop with the "another sword fighter" bullshit? I can easily say that Ryu is "just another fist fighter" and it'll be as stupid as the sword fighter comments.

And it's not necessary. Neutral b throws a hadoken fine.

Speaking of which is the fire one two hits like the ex variant or just red like in super turbo?

Try spltting it up with someone who only owns a Wii u. For example one buys Roy the other buys Ryu.

if having to do one of the most basic inputs imaginable actively decreases your enjoyment in a game then maybe games aren't for you and you should probably just play smartphone games or something,
 
Could someone give me a summary of what's happened in the last few hours?
Leaks. Leaks everywhere.

Ryu & Roy's models and attacks and trophies & such were pretty much all in the latest patch Japan got.

Ryu is getting his own stage.

Ryu seems to be able to pull off 2 final smashes depending on distance & appears to have EX versions of moves if you input them via SF controls instead of SSB controls.

Roy appears to be less "clone-y". Think the best comparison I've heard is "he's more like Luigi than Dr. Mario" now.

Dream Land 64 is coming back.

There's an Inkling Girl trophy.

Ken MIGHT be an assist trophy since he has a trophy as well.

There's new Mii outfits consisting of Isabelle, Mega Man.EXE, Zero from MMX, Heihachi from Tekken, then Akira & Jacky from Virtua Fighter.
