I was just watching some on the changes coming to Smash bros. and I have to say they look nice, Ryu will be awesome to place as. New battles stages, more characters going to fun to play.
Wow! That 'focus attack' effect with the black flames around him looks really awesome! Also, gotta love how there are several types of and speeds for the Hadouken move...
Ryu is super cool in Smash Bros. You can even input his street fighter commands in certain situations to do their corresponding moves, a nice touch I think. I'm just looking far into the future at who's going to win the vote to get into Smash. Voting ends in October (I believe), and I've yet to place a vote yet...decisions, decisions.
This was a nice showing for Smash. But this isn't the kind of thing that was E3 worthy.
Don't get me wrong, we see dlc announced at gaming events all the time. But we're talking about a game showing singular characters here. This is not the kind of thing a company should focus too much time on during a major event.
I'm just worried about the simplicity the new characters will carry. They KNOW Ryu will be an instant favorite. Ane because of that, they'll make him very easy to use.
