Ryu (リュウ, Ryū) is the main character from the Street Fighter series of fighting games by Capcom, and one of that company's most famous mascots alongside Mega Man. He was first leaked as a downloadable content character for Super Smash Bros. 4 through datamining of the 1.0.6 update, and was confirmed on June 14, 2015.

Character description

Ryu is considered to be the "main character" of the Street Fighter series. He is a practitioner of the Ansatsuken martial arts. Appearing in all Street Fighter games, Ryu's moveset is designed to be simple and beginner friendly, with a projectile and an anti-air move. Over the years, due to his simple playstyle, he has received many clones, including Ken and Akuma.
