Ryu (リュウ, Ryū) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018.
Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4
Aesthetics
- As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Ryu's model features a more subdued color scheme. His muscles and other physical features are more pronounced. His model and textures otherwise appear unchanged.
Attributes
- In 1-on-1 matches, Ryu will always face his opponent, similar to how he behaves in his origin series.
- This makes it harder to make accidental inputs for his attacks.
- This makes it harder to be hit from behind by Back Slash or affected fully by Nosferatu.
- This makes him easier to be hit with Disable, and harder to use his back aerial.
Normal Moves
- Neutral attack can now jab reset.
Special moves
- During Ryu's Shin Shoryuken, the opposing fighter has been given new animations while getting hit, somewhat inspired by animations from Street Fighter IV for the Metsu Shoryuken.

Trivia
- Ryu and Wii Fit Trainer are the only two characters (so far) whose full renders are not on the official Super Smash Bros. Ultimate website. In this case, the picture stops around his ankles.
