@kianwilliams713 Yes of course, I'm the one doing the resprite

You know Ryu Hayabusa is getting his resprited self, right?

@FurrySlurry (the sergal king) It's coming next week as a new item on the Workshop, that way people who prefer this version can still play him

@vvizard whats the update?

@Crashy Nothing in the plans for them at the moment, Ryu was an exception because a lot of stuff ended up working really well for him, like the potential of his moveset and easier animations overall

Since Ryu's gonna be resprited, will Claire and Donkey Kong be resprited as well?

WOOO RESPRITE BAYBEEEE

@Dolor your ryu nasty and looks tough like ninja gaiden's entire series (cries in still haven't beaten anyone of them)

why am I so good with this character

VVizard, accept my friend request please. I got something to show you.

90% sure this is that "ching" man from my past

9.9\10 make a messager skin please

yeah, i like the idea but imo its just a little too slow. you can only link on di in

@Clef The way the Izuna Drop works now, it's a bit hard to combo out of it, but you can still do it, specially with the Clone. I made like this to make it more balanced now, and be more of a finishing maneuver

how do u combo out the drop?

@VVizard <3 the more i find out about him the more i like him!

@Leo Luster! If Izuna Drop killed the opponent via the bottom blastzone, it would be too broken, but you can kill of the sides.

@Pestilence Obliterator Yes, I nerfed Dash Attack in the latest update, As for the empowered Izuna Drop, it only affects the initial damage and activation of the move (aside from the huge vertical boost). And the Izuna Drop was killing way earlier before, which is why I nerfed a bit, since you can combo into it rather easily, so now the Izuna Drop can be used as both a Combo Finisher or Extender. Also, this "bug" happened to me a couple of times, I'll see if a find a fix for it, but since it isn't that common or disruptive, I didn't gave it much attention before

But thank you both, and I'm glad to know you enjoyed the character so much!

Also I've noticed that when the clone is destroyed, it sometimes causes a huge increase in momentum for the enemy. He's flown to the top of the stage before, which didn't kill, but doesn't seem intended.

NEVERMIND YOU CAN COMBO OUT OF IZUNA DROP NEVER CHANGE IT

Totally love this character. Dead or Alive was my first fighting game and I have always loved the Ninja Gaiden series.
I've only been playing Ryu the past couple days and the only things I can note is how is dash attack felt a little bit too good, then again the past 2 days it hasn't felt as good, maybe you already nerfed it. Besides dash attack being a little too good, I think the empowered Izuna drop should do more knockback. I've landed it multiple times on enemies above 90% and it didn't kill.
Thank you for making this character, it's my new main!

This character would be perfect if Izuna Drop killed the opponent offstage, outside of that, this character is really creative and very cool! i love the clone a lot, he's a great friend :)

after playing him more i figured it out u def right thank u for the quick reply :)

The way the clone works currently is perfect, You get to choose which way the clone faces without you yourself moving for the clone

@Clef Thanks dude, and sorry, the way the clone works now is so you can have more freedom the way you use it, if it always faced the opponent it wouldn't exactly work, especially when considering using Bair, Dair or Dash Attack. But you can always just press Neutral B to make the Clone face the same direction you are

this char is great but could u make the clone always face the enemy so it easier to know what move to throw out?

@wizard my youtube channel is youtube.com/vinte69 the video will go up around 2pm tomorrow

Oh fuck, that's impressive!

@Fabulous Phantom Thank you very much, and yes! Not only can he wall cling, but but pressing up or down while clinging to a wall, Hayabusa can climb it up or down, just like in his NES games (mainly 2 and 3)

First, the Wizard from Magicka and now Ryu Hayabusa?! Oh my god, You're very amazing!
I wanted to ask though; Does Hayabusa have wallclinging? You know, that one weird gimmick that Maypul of RoA has where she can stick into the wall instead of walljumping immediately.
While giving Hayabusa wallclinging wouldn't affect him much, it'd be more accurate to the NES Ninja Gaiden for his wallclimb ability.

@Phdbot4 Thanks a lot! And yeah, Hayabusa is one of my most wanted newcomers for Smash, so this was a big reason why I decided to work on getting him in Rivals

I always wanted to see Ryu Hayabusa in Smash (or at least in any platform fighter)! I'm already impressed with this moveset and I'm looking forward to trying him out! ^^

@vinte696 Oh that's awesome, yeah feel free to post the link here, or send it to me, when you upload it then

awesome character I will be doing a youtube video on this character i think he is awesome your welcome to check out the channel when it goes up I will do a shout on the character and you

@MagicHobo Thanks a lot, I'm glad you enjoyed the character. As for the Counter, initially I didn't planned on having it, but I wanted a way to protect your clone, so the idea just came about, rather nicely I should say

I was not expecting such an interesting moveset out of this character, but damn this is good. You even managed to make a counter that isn't generic.

Dope & fun, insta download!!!!

YES!!!
HE'S FINALLY HERE!!!
