Very interesting if this is indeed real, though that's looking more and more likely as time goes on. I feel like I'm in the minority when it comes to Roy though, not particularly invested in him. Smash 4 Marth already has a clone character in Lucina, having two clones would be unprecedented. Not to mention that the 3 current clones actually
make sense to be clones, whereas Roy does not. I would think if he were to be included he'd become more like a semi-clone or something.
Ryu, on the other hand, I'm much more excited about. I don't play Street Fighter (at least not yet), but I've become more of a fan since last year's EVO, and Ryu would definitely provide a highly different playstyle (in the realm of Smash anyway), much in line with Smash 4's other newcomers. There seems to be a bunch of talk that Ryu and Roy (along with some other additions) would be released the same time as Lucas (Mother hype yeeeaaah!), but I'm a little hesitant to believe they'd do that, especially when all this stuff was
supposed to be a surprise for either the Direct tomorrow or E3 proper.
