Moveset

Ryu's special moves

Neutral special	Hadoken
Side special	Tatsumaki Senpukyaku
Up special	Shoryuken
Down special	Focus Attack
Final Smash	Shin Shoryuken / Shinku Hadoken

Based on Ryu's datamined voice clips:

• Hadouken appears to be chargeable, up to Shakunetsu Hadoken.
• There are separate voice clips for "Tatsumaki" and "Tatsumaki Senpukyaku"; whether this means there are two ways of using the move is unclear.
• Ryu's Final Smash performs Shin Shoryuken if a target is in proximity, and Shinku Hadouken otherwise.

Taunts

• Ryu holds his fist forwards, and declares "Talk is cheap."
• Stomps on the ground, and grunts.
• Reties his headband, while stating "Come on!"
