What is your favorite version of Ryu?

I am still mad that they didn’t put the game with the 25th anniversary collection

My pick goes to 2I Ryu. He was actually better in 2I than he was in 3S. Or at least, Ken and Akuma in 3S just made Ryu obsolete.

I like Third Strike, Alpha 2 and Alpha 3 Ryu

I really didn’t play any of the SFIIIs outside of 3S and that’s still how I felt about Ryu. “Leik why pick him when you can just use Ken?” I didn’t know he was actually better in the previous SFIIIs, go figure.

hmm hard choice I like A2/3 Ryu MvC1 Ryu and TvC Ryu

A2 is my top pick.

The Capcom vs SNK game for the PS1 had an option to make characters run instead of dash, and that version of Ryu was REALLY interesting imho, but I’m going to have to go with MVC1 Ryu. It’s the only ryu that could actually transform to and from Evil form mid fight, which I think is how Evil Ryu ‘should’ be, instead of a separate character.

XvSF and TvC.

MvC1 and 2 ryu are fun if you have good movement but not very man combos in 2 :frowning:

Denjin Hadoken had 2 stocks instead of 1 in SFIII 2nd Impact

2i Denjin Ryu >>>>> 3S Denjin Ryu

Oh lawd, man. 2I Ryu with double denjin is crazy. Like, it’s self explanatory. An unblockable super that stuns AND the ability to use EX moves? Not to mention he could stun you and then stun you again if he had the meter, just to make sure you were stunned. And hell, I never toyed around with setups since I never bothered to get training mode running for it (since I only played it on ggpo and kalleria) but since there’s no red parry, red parry denjin setups in 3S would be unblockables in 2I in theory.

I honestly only like Ryu in crossover fighters (ie: XvSF-MvC3, CvS2, SFxT, even TvC) unless it’s SF2.

SF4 Ryu with nude mod

street fighter 1 ryu

OHRYE

does 3s Ken have Shin Sho? no. 3s Ryu is for the brave

3S Ryu, because he loses out to Chun in that game.

Alpha 2 Ryu and snes hyper fighting ryu

World Warrior Ryu because Hurricane Kick Redizzy combooooooossss!

C’mon, shinryuken gets no love ever.

But you don’t feel shinryuken in the nuts when you get hit by it… You’re just like, “Ok, every time Ken spins around, his dick and balls flop you, that’s why there’s so many hits”. So your manhood goes into hiding because it doesn’t want to cross swords.

When ShinSho hit you, your manhood goes into hiding because it’s scared for its very life.

Alpha 3 V-ryu, 3S ryu. CVS2, A2 ryus are kinda bland imo.
