To say that Ryu can't be Smash despite the fact that Solid Snake was is very arbitrary and has almost nothing to support it. Why are you pondering what his moves would be? He's an effing fighter! Besides, anyone can have a moveset made for them when it comes to smash. I honestly do not understand why people think this is a valid point. It is not.

Secondly, why the hell would Mario have to appear in Street Fighter in order for Ryu to appear in Smash? That follows 0 steps in logic and you do not know what you're talking about.
