Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

  • Change 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

  • Change In 1-on-1 matches, Ryu will always face his opponent, similar to how he behaves in his origin series.
    • Buff This makes it harder to make accidental inputs for his attacks.
    • Buff This makes it harder to be hit from behind by Back Slash or affected fully by Nosferatu.
    • Nerf This makes him easier to be hit with Disable, and harder to use his back aerial.

Normal Moves

Special moves

  • Change 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.
