Ryu

Eternal Wanderer Ryu Unshakable Fist Ryu

Story


Ryu with his best friend, rival, and sparring partner Ken Masters compete in the tournament in order to test their strength against the tournament's champion, Sagat.

Several years after Ryu defeated Sagat in the first tournament, Ryu participates in a second tournament. Ryu wins the tournament, but does not stay for the ceremony, already seeking his next challenge.

Ryu confronts Sagat as his last opponent in a rematch following their first fight. Later, Ryu goes on a quest to confront Akuma, his master's brother and enemy. After their match, Akuma reveals that Ryu possesses the "Evil Intent" within him, the same power Akuma uses. More later, Ryu is sought by M. Bison, who seeks to use him as his next host body.

While Ryu's motivation in the game and rivalry with Ken would remain the same, he was also shown getting acquainted with several of the Street Fighter's characters.
