Ryu, from the massively popular Street Fighter video game franchise, will join Mario, Link, and Pikachu in the next Super Smash Bros. installment, GameSpot has confirmed.

After footage leaked yesterday showing Ryu brawling with other Smash Bros. characters, Nintendo has made both Ryu and Fire Emblem's Roy available in the game for Wii U and 3DS.

Nintendo cautioned fans that the game's servers may experience heavy strain, so you may want to try again later.

The announcement came as part of an overall presentation by Smash Bros.' head creator, Masahiro Sakurai, earlier this morning. Both Ryu and Roy will also be getting their own amiibo toys.
