Ryu feels great.
Sakurai's attention to detail and commitment to new-ness with each new character is astounding. Guys like Mega Man, Robin, Duck Hunt, and Ryu are chock-full of mechanics that make them feel entirely different than any character before them. And then there's Ryu's Focus Attack, where he just straight-up adds a crumple state mechanic that nobody else in the whole game uses, just because that's what's accurate to the character. Sakurai is insane in the best way.
I have a message from another time...I love how Ryu can use Shoryuken as his dash attack, basically.
And I realized that, by using forward-B to Tatsumaki, I'm basically playing as the cheating CPU from Street Fighter 2. You know the kind. The one that would do Sonic Booms as Guile while walking forward.
I have a message from another time...So I've fought quite a few players with Ryu and he looks kinda floaty.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Now that I know what that is, it's pretty hilarious. I only know Akuma(?) from Death Battle. He's like, really evil right? I never got to play Street Fighter.

So he's about as evil as Mewtwo?

Call me butter, because I am on a roll! 3ds friend code: 5258-0885-3903 Wii U: Bowser CharizardI've made plenty of jokes about Yoshi's pose looking like Akuma's before, it's hilarious to see Nintendo themselves get in on it. And with Yoshi.
He's not kicking puppies or plotting world domination, he's more of a Blue-and-Orange Morality with a corrupted soul who will literally murder you in what is supposed to be sport.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Yeah, I'm kinda tired of the huge amounts of Draco in Leather Pants that Akuma gets. "Kills people who challenge him to a serious fight, even if they didn't want to die" is pretty damn evil! He's not as evil as Bison (either Bison), but that's like saying that most serial killers aren't quite as evil as Idi Amin.

A world-renowned brawler got implicitly beat down by Green Barney. In images that are supposed to promote the former.

"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guyAkuma isn't evil, just a huge, murderous asshole with his own brand of Blue-and-Orange Morality.
It's Lord Vega/Master Bison/Dictator who's the baby-eating mind-raping monster of the series.
And oh geez all the dicks on Miiverse. And all the Sanic Heghog! It's a vast wasteland.

I sure said that!That is an amazing sentence to start a post with, for the record.
"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guySo, Akuma is just the lesser value of two evils? He still looks cool though.

Seriously, Dong jokes are only appropriate to DK himself.
I sure said that!
