Character Assassination - Ryu

This new column will take an in-depth look at the video game characters we take to our hearts and the ones we loathe with every inch of rage. Each week we have a candid look at each character and give you profiles, nuggets of information and maybe even some unearthed secrets.

The first character to go under the microscope is a true fighting legend. Ryu is arguably the most famous character from the Street Fighter franchise. This character doesn’t need any flashy clothes or even trendy tattoos. Ryu wears a simple white Keikogi, red headband and matching gloves – but this basic image is a striking as his Dragon Punch.

Ken masters dragon punch is more striking than ryu's always was,ryu was known for the flashy ,faster hadouken, ken for his arc dragon punch,and ken is just as famous, they just started focusing more on ryu,ken was second best too them

Ryus Shoryuken put the massive scar on Sagats chest, and Ken was nowhere near as renown. Ryu was like the lead singer and Ken was the lead guitarist, he always played second fiddle to Ryu. Pity cause in some games Ken was better, like in 3rd Strike and SSF4 Arcade Edition. Well at least in gameplay anyway

That scare came from a match that sagat won,ryu evil side came out while was boasting he won, he turned around and,got hit with dragon punch, Google it,ken, ryu one in the same, ryu's Japanese, Ken's American, u can't help but know who they'll pick of the two.

That still makes them the same person, sorta like a dude with schizophrenia. And it all depends on what you actually look up, if you watch the SF2 movie Sagat and Ryu fought on even terms but still lost. Bottom line is it was still Ryu that did it, albeit with a little evil in him.

This is a great history of Ryu, a character I really enjoy playing! Goes to prove that voice acting is more important than you might think!

The love for Ken in this thread brings a tear to my eye.

I gotta give it to Ken, for me Ryu is the generic and thats great and all but Ken has fist that turn into FIRE! SHORYUKEN! (even his name is in the move!)
