Hanzo witnesses his clan slaughtered and his family killed in front of him by his rival, Sub-Zero, before being exterminated himself.

| “ | This is the power of Hado! The spirit channeled through the fist!
— Ryu
|
” |
A silent, humble individual whose sole goal is to perfect his chosen craft. Ryu was once a nameless orphan left in the forest with no memories of his previous life. Martial arts master Gouken found the young boy and took him to his secluded dojo where he will train the young ward in the ways of martial arts. It is there Ryu will meet another young boy by the name of Ken Masters, who will be Ryu's best friend and friendly rival. Ryu is then taught a nameless martial arts that derives from the Ansatsuken (Assassin's Fist) Style and Shotokan karate, enhanced by the power of Ki- energy created from the soul to enhance attacks. Entering the first World Warrior tournament, Ryu effortlessly dispatched every other competitor with his superior skills, until he confronted the "King of Muay Thi", Sagat. Sagat's strength and skill pushed Ryu so hard that his desire to win tapped into the Ki of the Satsui no Hado, the violent fist technique used by Akuma, creating a Shoryuken uppercut that tore open Sagat's chest and left him with a massive scar. Returning home, Ryu discovered that Gouken had been murdered by Akuma, and vowed in his master's memory to never give into the Satsui no Hado, and reach the fullest potential within him without needing the evil technique. Ryu spent the rest of his days traveling the world, fighting and training, entering each World Warrior tournament and mastering his skills. He helped his fellow fighters stop M. Bison during the second World Warriors tournament, and later ensured the downfall of SIN and Seth.
Powers & Abilities[]
Ki Manipulation: Learning the ways of the Hado, Ryu is taught at a young age to channel his Ki. An energy that is produced by the human soul. Ryu's Ki surges from his undying will to win. With it, he is able to increase his bodies capabilities beyond the normal human measure and create energy projectiles. His immense training helps him concentrate and hone his signature "Hadoukens" through various degrees of damage. From damaging opponents immensely without visible harm to destroying complex weapons of mass destruction.

Near-Superhuman Speed: Ryu is able to run speeds beyond the normal human means, but not enough to be classified as "superhuman". Those of normal caliber would say his speed can be blinding for some.

X-Factor[]
Master Martial Artist: Ryu is considered one of the strongest fighters in the Street Fighter universe. He has trained in the art of the Chikari no Hado since he was a young boy; becoming one in mind, body, and soul. He later developed his own fighting style in the process, which utilizes straight forward technique and individualized strikes. Still, Ryu continues to train until he considers himself a complete master of his art, which brought him attention to other skilled fighters such as Dhalism. His skills and immense power has enabled him to defeat such powerful rogues such as M.Bison and the sinister Seth.
Skilled Tactician: Patience is Ryu's true virtue. In a fight, he remains a focused and calculating fighter. Keeping tabs and deconstructing his opponent's fighting style while at the same putting up a well paced defense and a well timed offense, before pulling an unexpecting finisher to end the fight.
Techniques[]
Ryu[]
Hadouken: Ryu's signature move. Ryu conjures up and fires a ball of blue tinted ki energy at his opponent. Due to his immense focus, Ryu has developed a Hadouken that is more concentrated with energy and extremely powerful, to which Akuma can only match /or/ surpass his Hado. Ryu not only uses this attack to damage his opponent, but to also gauge and control the battlefield. Keeping his opponents on their toes at all times even at a distance.
- Shinkuu-Hadouken: A more powerful version of the Hadouken. Ryu fires a much larger Hadouken that are composed of several smaller ones which is then coated in the vacuum space it creates, giving it extra power. This attack can cancel out other projectiles, at the cost of decreasing it's on potency, and catches the opponent by surprise.
- Denji-Hadouken: The true version of the Hadouken. The Denji Hadouken is Ryu's most powerful attack. He charges up and fires an Hadouken of highly concentrated Ki energy. Unlike a regular Hadouken, which has a light blue color, the Denji Hadouken gives off a tint of violet instead. It can unleash massive amounts of damage and decimate an opponent in moments, but it requires immense focus and strategic timing to be used correctly. If shot out prematurely, it can be dodged or canceled out by an attack of equal power.
Shoryuken: Ryu ducks down and performs a jumping uppercut, knocking the opponent up in the air. A well focused and powerful physical move, though not on the level of Ken's fiery version. Ryu uses this attack as the perfect counter move and finisher. Fused with ki energy, the Shoryuken can cancel out aerial attacks and projectiles on impact. Also, when used against the opponent at the deepest moment of impact, it can cause a serious amount of damage.
- Shin-Shoryuken: A much powerful version of Ryu's Shoryuken. Ryu strikes his opponent in the mid-section with a hard punch or elbow, then throws an uppercut with the other hand, which flattens the chin in the process, and finishes it off with a multi-hitting Shoryuken which sends the opponent skyward. This attack requires the utmost focus and clear temperament to be performed perfect. If Ryu misses the first strike, he can counter with a Shoryuken as a failsafe.
Tatsumaki Senpukyaku: Ryu leaps up in the air and rotates his legs in a circular proportion, propelling him towards his opponent. Ryu then strikes his opponent with a single /or/ multiple kicks. This attack can be used as an offensive move or a defensive move by flying over projectiles.
- Shinku Tatsumaki Senpukyaku: Ryu jumps into the air and rotates his leg at extremes speed, creating a vacuum effect within a close radius. The opponent is sucked into this space, rendering them temporarily vulnerable, and strikes them with multiple kicks.
Joudan Sokuto Geri: A very simple, yet powerful physical attack. Ryu steps forward and performs a stepping side kick that sends his opponent flying in the process once it connects. With enough power, Ryu can bounce his opponent against a wall and juggle them in the process. This attack is usually used as a combo finisher or to begin a juggle.
Evil Ryu[]
Hadouken: Similar to Ryu's Hadouken, but infused with lethal proportion.
- Shakunetsu Hadouken: Considered the "Red Hadouken", Evil Ryu fires a Hadouken infused with the Satsui no Hadou, striking the opponent and immolating them in flames in the process. This move can be charged for increased damage and cancel other projectiles.
- Metsu Hadouken: Similar to Ryu's "Shinkuu-Hadouken" except only more powerful and lethal. Evil Ryu fires a large Hadouken of Satsui no Hado inflicting devastatiing damage in the process.
Shoryuken: Similar to Ryu's Shoryuken, only more lethal and capable of inflicting visible physical damage.
Tatsumi Senpukyaku: Similar to Ryu's Tatsumi Senpukyaku, only more powerful.
Ryusokyaku: Evil Ryu lifts his foot up and brings it down over his opponent in an arching motion, knocking them down in the process. This attack is used as a strategic "trap" move, evading the jabs and countering with devastating axe kick at the same time.
Ashura Senku: Evil Ryu widens his stance, eyes glowing red, then lifts one knee up and teleports to another area as if he was "gliding" there. He is able to use this technique and dodge attacks, then launch a surprise attack from behind. A very useful evasive move.
Shun Goku Satsu: Also known as the Raging Demon, this is one of Evil Ryu's most powerful moves. Evil Ryu glides towards his intended target and consumes them in pitch darkness, then inflicts them with infernal punishment in which the weight of the sins and the evil the victim commits consume their soul. Afterwards, the kanji representing "divine punishment" afloats above the destroyed victim. This technique is immensley powerful and extremley fatal to the intended victim. Very few individuals are able to surivive this attack due to lacking a soul. Scorpion, on the other hand, while he's still a "Wraith" he still retains his soul as he loves his family and fights for the honor of his clan after death.
Messatsu-Goshoryu: Evil Ryu starts this attack off with three multi-hitting Shoryukens. After the third Shoryuken is performed, which sends both warriors skywards, Evil Ryu infuses his fist with the evil ki energy and slams it into his opponent's face, smashing them into the ground in the process. A devastating move that gaurantees a defeat as a combo finisher.
