Ryu was leaked in the files. So, if Ryu actually makes it in, that theory is done for.

Well, that's not a "theory", that's a statement he made publicly. I can't find the exact article back, but here's another one where he says characters who are already fighters (from fighting games, ofc, not just fighter in the large sense) are not as interesting to him : http://www.polygon.com/2013/6/26/4465706/masahiro-sakurai-discusses-mega-man-smash-bros-s-other-new-characters

If I have an image of a character in my mind that dances around and jibes with what I want, then that's the most important thing. On the other hand, even if you have a character suited for a fighting game, if you can't make him stick out from the pack and extract something unique from him, then what can you do?"
