To be fair, I think it might be better for Inkling to not be in Sm4sh not because of some arbitrary character limit (it doesn't actually exist stop telling yourselves this) but because the 3DS wouldn't be powerful enough to give them a playstyle that really does Splatoon justice. Kinda like the Ice Climbers.

Not to say they aren't a lock for Smash 5 though. I see that happening easily.

Ryu is definitely my new go to character. I was gonna main Mac, but seeing Ryu in action changed that.

So about Marth clone #2, I mean Roy? Did he actually have enough fan support to put him back in, or does Sakurai really like Fire Emblem? I'm sorry, but we don't need more clones. I'm sure that I just generated a lot of heat by saying that, but I'm serious
From business perspective, the profit ratio for clones are higher since they require less time develop. The time to make one original character is equivalent to multiple clones. Assuming number of DLC sold is similar for clones and original characters, it's more profitable to make bunch of clones and tweak them. People buy thess.

Well the plan is for people to be hyped up buying Mewtwo and Ryu and in your hype you think Lucas and Roy are great characters too so you buy them as well. Then when you've realised what a terrible mistake youve made they've already signed the contract to live in your house forever so you can never get rid of them.

Roy is for people who are not me and fortunately I don't have to purchase him. The same goes for Mewtwo and Lucas. Mind you, individually they come at freaking ArcSys level DLC prices. $5 each for Roy or Lucas across both platforms might feel like a copout.

Now now, ASW DLC prices are typically $8 USD a character. It's not THAT bad.

The fact of the matter is, kinda yeah. Roy's actually one among one of the less popular Fire Emblem Lords but there's still always a large group of people calling for him back based soley on the fact he was in Melee. People really don't like seeing characters get cut. Mewtwo and Roy were both actually intended to be in Brawl, they're both part of the famous forbidden 7 incomplete characters found in the code but if I recall correctly Mewtwo and Roy were by the the furthest along in development judging by the code, they've probably wanted to bring everyone back the whole time, its just some of the lower priority characters didn't make it for time. With dlc now they have the time to add in this low priority guys and really I feel like that's what they're doing filling in the time until the end of the ballot, most of them were probably gonna rank highly on the ballot anyway. I fully expect we'll get Wolf announced soon and they'd probably bring back Ice Climbers and Snake if the the technical limitations or rights situations/konami and kojima exploding permitted it (and Ryu I dunno, he feels like some sort of deal with Capcom) Wait till like December or something for the actual new characters from the votes. So yeah we didn't need Roy really, but some people wanted him and he was probably quick and easy (I mean hell in the couple of months since Mewtwo they're releasing 3 new characters at once, obviously he didn't eat up too much development time) so hey good for them.

I actually gotta give them credit though, Roy feels like a Falco level clone now, still pretty close to Marth but different enough to feel like another character rather than just Marth with some different attirubtes. Has a different jab, forward tilt, forward smash, neutral B, I think up tilt and dash attack?, final smash and a more unique from Marth up B, I might actually prefer him to Marth this time around.

I LOVED the Ryu trailer, just all the detail and work they put into him is just perfect, even plays exactly like he would in Street Fighter which was a great move on Nintendo's part, if I had Smash on the Wii u, I'd download Ryu in a freaking heartbeat and if they put this much detail into their DLC characters then all I have to say is this:

TAKE THIS, MY LOVE, MY ANGER AND ALL OF MY MONEY!

Welp so much for King K Rool getting in. I can already smell the memes people will make outta this one.

You never know. Maybe Sakurai will put him in.

A reminder that the first batch of dlc costumes included a full Link outfit and the base game included all sorts hats and things from characters like Sheik and Meta Knight (Meta Knight notably had his mii costume shown the day before he was revealed as returning).
Just like the Inkling Costumes before this I wouldn't really take this as evidence either way on their viability as dlc characters, new characters are still likely months away at this point. All I'd take this as evidence K.Rool is likely getting as much attention in the ballot as he is in internet discussions. Maybe they saw that and wanted to release something early while he was the hot topic, maybe they ultimately decided they don't want K.Rool and this really is just them throwing a bone. Either option seems fully possible, no reason to freak out just yet.

OBJECTION!
Knowing Sakurai that's probably a hint to who's winning the ballot.
There's one problem though: that is not Wonder Red.

Also we should have a Smash tournament with people on the forums, what do you say guys?
