Super Smash Bros Fisticuffs for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS

Oh man, do I LOOOOOVE Rest...

3DS Update data dumps have possibly leaked Roy (not the Koopaling) and Ryu from Street Fighter as DLC.

Discuss.

And source of that.  Someone else already confirmed Ryu files.  Seems neat but I don't think anybody asked for Ryu l0l

[Dude]

Might just be an extra song they needed... At least that's what I'm thinking.

[K-NiGhT]

But, why Street Fighter of all things?

You literally find a way to complain about every single thing, don't you?

[FierceDeity]

is disable his down b?  That thing actually has a decent range

No it doesn't lmao they have to almost be like right next to you. That's the opposite of range.

It'd be decent if it was actually worth a damn against airborne opponents, or even prevented them from punishing you anyways, but it doesn't. Any attack you could get off afterwards really isn't worth the risk, especially considering that for them to actually stay stunned long enough for you to get a killing blow, they're generally already at high enough damage for up-throw to be an option (from what I've played of him so far).

What on earth is all this hype about Banjo Kazooie? My friend showed me what they were the other day and they look exactly like the Duck Hunt Duo, just with a bear and goose instead. Seriously, if they added them in, it'd be literally a clone with some move changes... Lame. 

Blue's right, them's fighting words.
...but like, ambiguous sarcasm aside, cmon, man. If you didn't even know who they were, let alone play the games, how could you possibly say "It's a mammal with a bird on it's back! Same thing!"? There could be any number of unique aspects they could bring to the game, and you would have no idea. Honestly, if I didn't know better, I'd say you were trolling.

fingerz is probably right considering creativity of movesets with characters already though.

I'd agree if duck hunt's moveset weren't incredibly unique and mostly unapplicable to banjo and kazooie. Maybe aerials and tilts would be kinda similar, but that's about it, and even then, the original games have a wealth of different ideas to use. If banjo and kazooie were included, they really wouldn't have any existing character to copy for smashes and specials.

I just looked into it, apparently Ryu is from Street Fighter

HOW CAN SOMEBODY HAVE THE TECHNICAL ABILITY TO FIGURE THIS SHIT OUT AND NOT KNOW HOW TO DO A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH BEFORE MAKING A POST

[Nebbles]

To be fair, I do have to wonder WHY it'd be Ryu of all people. Like, why him in Smash?

[FierceDeity]

On the one hand, there's a precedent for having Capcom characters in smash, now (and street fighter really is one of Capcom's most popular franchises). On the other hand, Capcom isn't actually done releasing new street fighter games, so it does seem strange to include a character unique to a concurrent fighting game franchise.

EDIT:
just saw this

Nintendo has said anybody is pretty much acceptable, even 3rd parties. Microsoft has even doubled this by endorsing Banjo in Sm4sh.

Huh, that's neat. I didn't actually realize Microsoft had given its blessing.

[Nebbles]

I guess Capcom wanted another rep or something?

[blueflower999]

Smash is probably such a successful franchise at this point that any company including franchises is probably a good idea for publicity and such.

[FierceDeity]

True. Including Pit was a great relaunch for Kid Icarus last go around, I bet (not third party but still)

That's true. It'd be wise for companies like Rare to get in on it.....

[Nebbles]

And Shulk got Xenoblade more popular, and so on. So if anything getting in Smash for anyone that isn't a main Nintendo game is like "look! I exist! Buy my game!"

[FierceDeity]

That's true. It'd be wise for companies like Rare to get in on it.....

But first Rare has to do something with their IP to market to people lol
