Sooo happy about these new characters! Though I've never played the Street Fighter games, Ryu looks like a good solid fighter, though very similar to Little Mac. Roy...I like Roy, it's too bad they didn't give him a new move set, but oh well. And glad to see Lucas again.

I didn't anyone who played as Roy, seriously the only reason anyone wanted him back was because he was in Melee, not because they actually want him back.

I wanted Roy because I liked the game he was from.

Well, I got into Smash Bros. because fighting game inputs confuse me. Looks like I won't be playing at my best if the randomizer picks Ryu.

I liked Roy too, but it's just too bad that he didn't get new moves, because everyone will complain that he's just another Marth clone. Yet everyone was so happy to see Dr. Mario...

Does anyone really want a mii fighter amiibo? I personally would rather see them spend that time and effort releasing a second wave of some of those current ones that never even hit store shelves because they sold out s fast.

Mega Man X's Zero is a Swordfighter not a Gunner.

Never played Roy so it'll be fun seeing how he is.I didn't believe the leaks of Ryu but here he is.Still can't believe it.Eitherway he seems fun to play with the whole input commands thing.

I'm wondering whose amiibo will be hard to get,Roy or Ryu..I'm betting my money on Ryu.Also,here I thought it was a given that all the amiibo would be produced.

Also @switchgear1131
I agree the Mii fighters are a meh with me but I think it's aimed for customizers who'll like to change it up.Personally I wouldn't mind making my gunner a Megaman.EXE.But I hope they make them in enough quantity since I imagine most people want to customize theirs.Also some of the unicorn amiibo are getting remade like Wiifit Trainer,which Nintendo stated,and also rumor of other unicorns,for example,Ness.Hopefully,they'll be made into more quantity though..

Glad they are adding the Youtube/playback thing.It sucked that you couldn't keep(after updates) or show your replays(other than the share thing) but happy they are adding this.

And definitely getting that Megaman.EXE costume.Holy crap I was shocked.I freakin love that series.And also Zero but wow Megaman.EXE I'm still shocked and happy.

Roy was my main character in Smash so I'm super happy he's back. Looks like I'll be alternating between him and Lucina. And why is Ryu in here? There hasn't been a Street Fighter game on a Nintendo console in a while, has there?

I guess all the fanboys who wanted Ryu vs. Mario finally see their dreams come true. I had thought they already released Smash Bros. for the Wii U but I guess I was wrong? Rosters these days seem to be so loaded it feels more bloated. Still happy to see Street Fighter represented in one of the biggest cross over series out there.

This is describing a DLC pack for Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U and 3DS. It's the second one released, after the one that included Mewtwo and a bunch of Mii outfits.

That raises a question, why hasn't Lyn from Fire Emblem been a playable character? Wasn't she as iconic in the series as the rest?

And yet logic like this doesn't apply to the Ice Climbers?
