Evil Ryu
(LAST UPDATE: 6/8/06)

Profile

General:
When Ryu was losing his battle against Sagat, he for a second embraced the killing intent and used a Metsu Shoryuken on Sagat, scarring and defeating him. After this, his killing side never reappeared. Capcom Japan is reluctant to use him at all, and they have never called him Evil Ryu, just Satsui no Hado ni Mezameta Ryu (Ryu with killing intent). "Evil" is a fabrication of Capcom USA.

Origin:
Street Fighter Alpha 2

Other Appearances:
Street Fighter Alpha 3, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max, Street Fighter Alpha: Anthology, Street Fighter EX, Match of the Millennium, Capcom VS SNK, Capcom VS SNK: Pro, Capcom VS SNK 2, Card Fighters Clash, Card Fighters Clash 2

Comment:
See, even Ryu has evil inside... Sure this design has always been just a pallete swap of Ryu & Akuma, but the idea of the design itself is inspiring. Read the Street Fighter Comic done by UDON to find out more.
