Street Fighter’s Ryu is coming to Super Smash Bros., Nintendo announced Sunday.
“He’s being created to most closely resemble his Street Fighter II form,” Super Smash Bros. director . “In that game there were six buttons, but Smash focuses on two.”
To remedy that, different attacks can be made depending on how long the player presses and holds the button. A tap produces a light but fast attack, while holding it down creates a slower, more powerful one. As in Street Fighter, there are light, medium and strong attacks.
Ryu’s signature moves — the hadouken, shoryuken and hurricane kick — are included in the game. If the player uses the original Street Fighter button command, it produces a more powerful version of each attack. Ryu is also the first character in Super Smash Bros. to have two final smashes.
Nintendo is also including Suzaku Castle as a new stage, along with Ryu’s and Ken’s theme songs from Street Fighter.
