Ryu is the original user for the Calling Your Attacks trope in fighting games.
Like it or not, get used to him doing that all the time. He hasn't stopped since the original Street Fighter in '87, and he sure won't stop today; same goes to his friends and enemies
You know, would be cool of Ken Masters appears as an alternate costume for Ryu like the Koopalings. The only real differences other than slightly different elements in their attacks are their final smashes.

A stranger is like the shadows.It is so common to the world everyone will just ignore them.Finally got through.
Lucas's PK Thunder 2... it's got some hang time after. Like, he flies a bit further just after the attack ends. Might be good, might be bad in some cases.
It's a little harder landing the neutral air than I thought it'd be.
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's meanNo wonder she looks buffer than usual. She's standing in for Zangief, of all people.

Speaking of Koopalings, anyone realize that there are now two separate characters in the same Smash Bros game named Roy? I also couldn't help but notice they actually went through the trouble of rerecording the announcer yelling the name with a different inflection for the Fire Emblem character.
Re: Ken alt for Ryu - In Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Ryu has a blond haired alternate with a red gi referencing Ken. It's not a total reskin, but I was at least hoping to see something similar with his appearance in Smash here. Not so I guess.
Man, I kind of can't believe we have Ryu in Smash Bros now. Capcom's involvement with Mega Man in the game improved his chances above pipe dream status slightly, but still, if you had told me before release that Ryu would be making an appearance as DLC along with his own stage, I never would have believed you.
I cannot pull Ryu's more powerful moves to save my life.
On the plus side, my primary mains will likely be:
- Ryu
- Mega Man
- Captain Falcon
- Sonic
- Fox
- Mewtwo
- Roy
- Shulk
- Lucina
Now, all we need is Scorpion playable as a DLC character. Hey, they can tone him down like they did with Snake. Basically, just do what MK vs. DC did. Or even Injustice.

And here I was, thinking that Megaman being randomly shoved into a corner all alone was supposed to reference something non-meta.

Ryu's fun. New music is sexy. Gotta love that they had Yoko Shimomura do a Ryu Stage remix.
Kinda wish they didn't pick the worst (OK, least good) Triple Deluxe final boss theme.

Fantastic Supreme Überkaiser Emperor Folt of The Infinity and Beyond" ... "The First"!You know what I missed? I missed juking people out and smacking them with PK Thunder 2. The start isn't tremendously powerful, but it's still funny watching people try to come up from behind only for them to get trapped by the PK Thunder.
Lucas feels a bit slower, though. Like he takes a while longer to kill with than Ness.
Still love him anyway.
Ryu's gonna take some time to get used to, but Roy. Oh man, he is a fun one. I didn't expect him to roll in with as much speed and power as he did, but he. Is. Soooooo fun.
I wound up close quarters with people a lot more than I expected and he hits like a hard.
I think I like him more than Marthina.
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's meanSo I decided to play as Donkey Kong on Miiverse. Never has Dong expanded so much.
Call me butter, because I am on a roll! 3ds friend code: 5258-0885-3903 Wii U: Bowser CharizardLucas is Lucas. Not much to say about him. Roy feels nice. He's got a more unique spin on Marth than Lucina, and his specials differ more. Feels a touch slower though. Ryu I'm not sure I can get the hang of. He's going to be hard for the likes of me to figure out.
Also had a fun match of me as Roy (Koopaling) vs the Fire Emblem cast. The true Roy showed off his superiority. One of the Jr. Miiverse posts "There can only be one". How fitting, especially since I saw that in a Roy vs Roy match.

Which is yet another fighting game feature faithfully recreated!
