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.
    •   This makes him easier to be hit with Disable, and harder to use his back aerial.

Special moves

  •   During Ryu's Shin Shoryuken, the opposing fighter has been given new animations while getting hit.
