Is this a legit mechanic?
Yes.

From the in-game tips:
Move / Tip
Hadoken
A projectile from a world-class fighting game. Hold down the button to vary how fast it travels. It’ll disappear after a set distance.
Hadoken
Input the commands from the original series to increase the Hadoken’s power. Use it in midair to make Ryu glide slightly.
Hadoken
Quickly input down, down-forward, forward for 1.25x power. You might have to practice a bit to really figure out howtodo a Hadoken.
Hadoken
Input back, down-back, down, down-forward, forward to unleash a fiery Shakunetsu Hadoken that can deal multiple hits.
Shoryuken
When you enter the original commands, Ryu is momentarily invincible, the move is stronger and looks different…and his shout even changes!
Shoryuken
Input the commands from the original series to become invincible until the move is complete. The move needs no recovery time after landing.
Shoryuken
Input forward, down, down-forward for 1.2x attack power. Think you can pull it off? SURE YOU CAN!
Tatsumaki Senpukyaku
Ryu will float up slightly when using this move after a jump, making this spinning side kick great for recovering.
Tatsumaki Senpukyaku
Input the commands from the original series to power up the attack. One thing to remember: you can’t use it repeatedly in midair.
Tatsumaki Senpukyaku
Enter down, down-back, back for 1.16x power. Increasing the strength also increases the move’s speed and travel distance.
Focus Attack
Ryu will hold his stance until you release the button or a certain amount of time has passed. Then he’ll unleash the punch.
Focus Attack
By turning the opposite way the moment Ryu punches, he will strike in that direction instead.
Focus Attack
Hitting an opponent with the fully charged version of this move will make them slowly crumple. Time for a follow-up attack!
Focus Attack
You can cancel this move by pressing left or right twice quickly, either while charging or right after the punch connects.
Focus Attack
Ryu can take one hit while readying for this move. This is true until right before he attacks, even when charging the move to maximum power.
Side Smash Attack
Ryu steps forward and unleashes his Joudan Sokutogeri. The tip of his foot is the strongest part, but it won’t hit a small crouching enemy.
Strong Down Attack (Strong)
You might have seen this kick in the original games. Just like in those, you can cancel the move after striking by going straight into a special.
Strong Down Attack (Strong)
Hold down the attack button while crouching to use this move. You can cancel it into a special even if the foe is shielding, but only if you hit.
Strong Down Attack (Weak)
Use this attack by crouching and tapping the attack button. If you hit a downed opponent with it, you’ll knock them back to their feet.
Strong Side Attack (Strong)
Keep up the pressure on a guarding enemy with Ryu’s Collarbone Breaker, a double hit that’s good for shield breaking.
Up Air Attack
This uppercut hits the enemy twice and has a deceptively large range. It’s fairly easy to hit enemies directly over you.
Front Air Attack
Hitting an enemy with Ryu’s foot has higher launch power, while his upper leg is perfect for shield breaking. It’s a good move for combos.
Down Air Attack
This is the only attack in Ryu’s arsenal that has a meteor effect. If it hits, your victim will fly diagonally downward.
Upward Throw
This move kicks a grabbed opponent straight upward. As Ryu brings his leg back down, he’ll hit anyone else unlucky enough to be in the way.

Alfonso's time to shine!
Also I was wondering if they'd remove Dedede if he was fighting. That's a nice touch.

Lol at the inkling's trophy description.
Needed more puns imho.
sabre, take a break, cool down, and come back later
now where's that inkling girl holding back her throw up pic because that was pretty close to pun overdose.

Marth's Side Special in Melee is the death of Smash! It's so complex! By the time Smash 4 rolls around, the shit will play exactly like Soul Calibur! alright i'm done

Was the Miiverse stage in the update and the miners just aren't showing it off?
Some hacker managed to pull Ryu, Lucas, Roy, Dreamland 64, and the SF stage from the patch data, then streamed himself playing around with them.
Roy has quite a few changes to make him feel more like a Brawl clone and less like a melee clone. He also has a new final smash.
Lucas is Lucas, not much to see there.
Ryu has multiple versions of each special attack, one version performed by normal inputs and others performed by SF inputs. He has 2 final smashes too.
Dreamland 64 looks to be generally unchanged.
The SF stage is a walkoff on the right side.
He also has strong and weak normals depending on if you tap the button or hold it.
Ryu is going to be so cool.
Actually I think he has 3 versions of his specials.
And then for stuff like the Hadoken you can change it's distance by holding down B on top of all that.

Holy shit at Collarbone Breaker being a good shield break move to compensate for Smash's lack of high/low mixups.

Giving one character so many more options when it comes to moves seems harmful to the game's meta. A good Ryu player at a tournament will always look more skilled than one with any other character.
Just speculation though, could be completely gimmicky and forgotten after people find out the best strategy.

Ah, seems a trend with DLC characters not having "Fun Fact" based tips and having them all be game play tips.
I noticed it with Mewtwo and the trend continues with these three.
It's not anything anyone will ever notice but me because I'm insane.
We've had characters with complex mechanics before. Lucario and Shulk both have built in mechanics that require more skill to use and are unique compared to other fighters.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Out of ALL the things I've seen you complain about, this is by far the funniest.
This is a little thing that is a genuinely cool homage to the Street Fighter series and here you are screaming about how this suddenly makes Smash Bros. terrible and every Smash game from now on will follow this example.
I can sort of get why you might hate Gurren Lagann. I can sort of get why you might also hate Jojo.
BUT
I will probably never understand how such a simple, cool little feature, warrants such hatred from you.
It's like hating a delicious sundae because somebody put a cherry on top of it.

It's DLC so my general attitude towards this is ultimately "meh".
Still, Ryu seems to fit in surprisingly well, and Roy got a good redesign (I assume it's from Awakening, where, funnily enough he was also DLC).
What will be left for the upcoming presentation? The Inkling Girl trophy has me suspicious...

He probably has enough drawbacks that the gimmick is valuable to his competitive value.
I predict he will actually be high tier. It looks like he has good moves in general, even his aerials (from what I saw) and the multiple variations of his specials (especially the Shoryuken ones) will be immensely useful for the character. And I haven't even mentioned FADC yet.
I hope I'm right lol.
Her and Ken are at the end of the trophy list so they aren't likely to be playable at all.
Maybe Assist Trophies?

FADC UmeShoryu might be possible in Smash?
My goodness, imagine if someone pulled it off in a Smash Tourney! The HYPE!
EDIT: Ahhh, no Final Smashes......UmeShoryu a no go in Tourneys.

Oh wait, someone mentioned that the Inkling trophy was the same as the Inkling Amiibo right?
oh damn
oh damn
If anything, having more technical characters will atleast make the game more interesting to watch for me.
