Street Fighter’s Ryu and Fire Emblem’s Roy Confirmed for Super Smash Bros. 4

Well, it seems like the cat is out of the bag. The strange themes discovered in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, which hinted at appearances by Street Fighter protagonist Ryu and Fire Emblem’s Roy, can now be confirmed as legitimate playable character leaks thanks to two videos that recently appeared online.

Apparently, the next Super Smash Bros. patch rolled out to players in Japan earlier than intended, giving dataminers access to a bunch of surprise content. In addition to the aforementioned characters, a brand new Splatoon trophy, stages for the newcomers, and music from Rhythm Heaven are also included in the update.

At this point in time, it’s difficult to pin down when Ryu and Roy will officially launch, but their inclusion in the Lucas patch makes it seem as if they will be available when he’s released on June 14, or at least around the same time. Nintendo plans to hold a special Direct broadcast this weekend dedicated entirely to Smash, so it’s likely we’ll learn more details in just a couple of days.

For now, feel free to check out their victory videos below and let us know what you think.
