So rumours and very recent information seems to suggest that Ryu is going to be revealed as a DLC Smash 4 character tomorrow.

And some speculate that Nintendo would only allow this if Ryu was set to feature in another Nintendo-console game soon. But we know that Street Fighter 5 is Sony-exclusive (console-wise, not counting arcade and possibly PC), so it won't be that.

So what Capcom fighter (or alternative Ryu-featuring game) could such a title be?

Some obvious possibilities are in the attached poll. Some of them cover multiple possibilities... please post the extra details in such a case.

SF5 will be on Wii U.
Just like MGS4 was on Wii.

I'm glad you asked.

But honestly, Ryu in Smash doesn't mean anything. He's an iconic character with a Nintendo history. Nothing more.

But yeah, it'll be Nintendo vs. Capcom.

I doubt they're gonna do anything worthwhile.

Takes a bit of time to write up the poll. It's up now.

Nintendo Vs Capcom! My life will be complete

There's two differences between Snake in Brawl and Ryu in Smash 4...

1. Snake in Brawl already happened, and Konami screwed Nintendo over by not actually giving Wii U a proper Metal Gear game. Snake is now not in Smash 4.

2. Snake was put into the initial game. Ryu is being added in later. Nintendo clearly didn't feel Ryu was worth including in the original game, and chose Mega Man instead. But they're letting Ryu be the first third-party DLC.

With these two facts, it's reasonable to think that we might see a Ryu-specific title coming up.

That said, I don't specifically think it'll happen, which is why the topic title is "if we're going to...", and not just "what one will it be?"

EDIT: Meant Wii, not Wii U, in point 1.

zack and wiki 2
I hope Tatsunoko vs Capcom 2

chose option C as well.

maybe Ryu is in it cause of that voting thing that happened a while ago. IMHO the chances of anything coming from this is small.
