Topic: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - OT

What do you guys think of the potential Ryu and Roy Rumor? I think its false.

Maybe? I got my codes at 5am your time.(11am over here.)
I guess the roll out started somewhen at 3am EST or even midnight.

It would be delicious if it is true and they were planned to be character ballot winners from the start.

I hear this rumor that Pichu is making a return. I hacked Super Smash Bros Melee to discover this secret.

False. Roy while slightly different is still a clone and we already have a clone of Marth. Roy would need a major overhaul but I don't think that will happen. I don't think Ryu would be a smart move for Capcom. One of the Castlevania characters would probably be smarter.

EDIT: I could see Ryu making it in as an Assist Trophy before becoming a character.

Yeah, think it was like this back in Melee...my timing is always terrible when it comes to reflecting projectiles in general. lol

While I doubt the Roy and Ryu rumor is true, Lucina already being a clone of Marth isn't necessarily evidence against it. There's no rule that says that Sakurai won't/can't add a second clone of Marth to the game.

While that is true, I just don't see a reason to put Roy in. Unless he is different and interesting in some way, it seems pointless.

Anyone consider that Roy might be an alt costume for Marth? Don't other alts have separate files?

Just got Mewtwo. So far I'm already doing better with him now than in Melee. I think I might get the costumes later (Because, hey! If I can't put Nicholas Cage in a bear suit, putting him in a cat suit is the next best thing!)

I really hope Roy comes back but I can't see it happening with Lucina there and another character named Roy. I hope it happens anyway but I doubt it.

YES! Diddy got nerfed! That's gonna help the game a little bit.

Hey guys what if it was Ryu from Ninja gaiden instead of Ryu from Street Fighter?

"An" alt costume? Marth already has a Roy pallette swap.

Besides the fact that four FE reps is already pushing it, let alone five, they'd have to change him up a fair bit so as not to have two Marth clones. And I'm not sure they'd want to go to that much trouble all things considered, so that throws Ryu into doubt right there.

Still there could be a lot worse characters than Ryu. It's not really a character that a lot of people are asking for, but he'd fit just about as well as Pac-Man.

Just think. "HADOUKEN!"-ing in Smash.

Still won't stop my unkillable Derpy Kong!

Good thing he got nerfed!

In what way has Diddy been nerfed?

Uair nerfed from 8% -> 6%, knockback reduced.

Fair nerfed from 12%/10% -> 10%/8%, knockback reduced.

Uthrow nerfed from 10% -> 8%, knockback reduced.

Dthrow nerfed from 7% -> 6%, knockback unchanged but hitstun reduced.

Monkey Flip (kick) nerfed 14%/12% -> 12%/10%, knockback reduced.

Monkey Flip (grab) nerfed 12% -> 10%, knockback reduced.

Banana (Throw) nerfed from 7% -> 5%
Everyone's happy that this stupid monkey has been nerfed.

Well... looks like Roy and Ryu are coming to Smash. https://twitter.com/CuttingRoomWiki/status/588467223833882627

THE HYPE TRAIN CONTINUES!

@carnage2211 No, the sound files for Ryu are from Street Fighter.

Guess i found my new main the one and only the true uppercut king Ryu!
