Ryu from Street Fighter in the GA-HQ Video Game Character DB
Ryu is more or less the main protagonist in the Street Fighter series and debuted in the first game, Street Fighter (1987) as the only playable character in the single-player arcade mode. Ryu returned in every Street Fighter sequel and also in the many crossover games, like the Marvel vs. Capcom or Street Fighter X Capcom fighting games. He also made it into spinoff crossover games like Namco X Capcom, Puzzle Fighter, and in 2015 also in Super Smash Bros. 4 as a DLC character. Ryu was the first character revealed for Street Fighter V (2016) alongside Chun Li as well as in the reveal trailer for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite (2017). Ryu was the first character revealed to return in Street Fighter 6 (2023), he got his biggest design change so far, now sporting a beard, being a bit older, and looking a bit more like his master Gouken. Ryu is from Japan, uses a special form of Karate, and is known for his Hadoken alongside other special moves like the Shoryuken. |
