There are plenty of rumours swirling around regarding future fighters and stages for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, and one that seems to have slightly more backing among the online community is that of Street Fighter's Ryu being on the cards. Though still far from confirmed, leftover code has some wondering whether the iconic fighter will be Capcom's second contribution to the roster.
We don't need to wait for an announcement - if it's even coming - before we can see how it could look, of course. We have enthusiasts with some video skills to scratch that itch, and Game Chap has pulled together its own fan-made intro that could announce the character. Pulling in animation from previous Street Fighter games and some modded footage of Ryu 'in' the game, fans can indulge in some fantasy. The visuals may be primitive, but it's still a pretty decent effort.
Will Ryu actually come to Super Smash Bros.? We'll know in good time.

I would really, REALLY love to get a non Virtual Console "Street Fighter" on Wii U, mostly Ultra IV... come on, Capcom!
Might be believable if this was brawl. His model looks rather SD. Good work, though.
I want to do a Professor Layton trailer... only if I had the resources... XD
By the way, that's well put, but I want other characters in Smash before Ryu, TBH.
Takamuru 4 Smash everyone
Yes please
Does no one else notice that this just uses the skins for Ryu from KCMM? (http://kc-mm.com/category/kagemaru/). Its still a pretty well made video, but I doubt they made the skins themselves. This is also most likely over brawl or PM, not Smash 4.
@VeeFlamesNL check this http://infinitesmashteam.com/2012/08/14/professor-layton-and-the-brothers-of-smash/
Wow, those are some really rough animations. Could've been much better if the animations were better.
I hope the leaks about Ryu are true.
The surprise twist, is that it's a Ryu from the Breath of Fire series.
I mean, hey, still Capcom right?
This video was actually nicely made. I want to see more fan made stuff like this!!
We better get this theme along with Ryu:

For some reason i would like a cutscene showing how Ryu joined Smash bros, if he does become a playable character.
Guile > Ryu
The Ryu used is specifically the Ryu from Tatsunoko VS Capcom.
@Nicolai ^
Very smartly made, however!
@Kasplat Oh, the memories... I used to fight with Bayonetta, Joanna Dark and Arale thanks to those texture swaps...
I'm still hoping for Wonder Red. Or Reyn, because he's a lifesaver!
@ikki5
Preach!
I don't know. I think that "Ryu Hadouks-in" would have been more clever, but that's just me.
I'm shocked hardly anyone knows where this footage comes from :/
There is a modded version of brawl that has ALL sorts of characters. This is just screen capture of one of those skins, not video editing.
Ugh.
Let's not waste DLC fighters on characters who are already fighters in other games. There's no shortage of options for us to fight as Ryu in a fighting game.
@Wonder_Ideal I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that when I watched the video.
@jakysnakydx yeah it's pretty obvious that it is just footage of modded brawl. Not sure how so many people missed that.
Pfftj... Those are some hilariously stiff animations.
Meh.
I think Ryu would be a great addition, his move set is already there. I'd still really like to see young Goku in it though.
Too funny.
Amazing. Great effort. It's the closest thing we have to the real thing right about now!
@Wonder_Ideal hahaha incredible!
@sleepinglion apparently you and i are the only ones that think adding him is the most stupidest idea and yes waste of a character slot -_-
and many thought goku was stupid this is the same thing basically but everyone is like "yeah add him hes cool"
Hated it, most un-smashing thing I've ever seen.
Not bad at all. A bit awkward looking and moving in places, the character poses and animation, but overall just cool.
Def want to see Ryu in Smash now though. Once I heard the rumour I was immediately sold on the idea.
Only reinforces imo that Ryu doesn't fit in Smash Bros.
Not a fan of the way Ryu looks in this trailer. I voted for Ryu so this is feeding my fan fire anyway lol. I will say that Street Fighter and Nintendo helped build the fighting game house in living rooms everywhere years ago (along with Sega). Having Ryu in Smash Bros, the ultimate fighting game, would be an awesome tribute to the spirit of the first fighting video games. A no-brainer. Honestly I thought they'd have put him in there already. I'd take any Street Fighter character over Fire Emblem characters.
@audiobrainiac I wouldn't call it the "ultimate fighting game" since it's geared more to a party scene. Don't get me wrong, I've been in smash competitions, and while they're fun I enjoy Street Fighter/Guilty Gear tournaments way more.
@B3ND3R Well I only call it that because its such a great mashup of characters. Plus its the best fighting title (and Tekken Tag 2 I guess) the Wii U has, ultimate fighting game seemed to sort of apply for Nintendo at least. Personally my favs will always be Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike and the first Tekken Tag Tournament.
I'll just take Tatsunoko vs Capcom 2 (or Capcom vs SNK 3) please!!!
However if he does end up in Smash I want a mii outfit. I go by Ryu for a reason after all.
