Ryu (リュウ Ryū) is a Japanese martial artist trained in fighting techniques derived from Ansatsuken, the assassination arts. Alongside his best friend and sparring partner Ken, he has learned to channel his inner energy and uses it to enhance his attacks in battle. His signature techniques include the Hadōken, an energy projectile fired from his palms; the Shōryūken, a jumping uppercut; and the Tatsumaki Senpūkyaku, a midair kick that spins the user like a tornado.
Fiction
Street Fighter II x Transformers packaging story
Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li were in the midst of a battle with Vega in Thailand. When they were about to defeat him, a dimensional gate was open and Megatron emerged. The three were caught off guard, allowing Vega enough time to share his power with Megatron before the two escaped. Optimus Prime, Hot Rod, and Arcee also emerged from the gate and asked for the three fighters' help in stopping Megatron. They agreed, and Optimus chose to scan Ryu, believing he possessed the strength of a true fighter, learning his fighting techniques. Though few words were exchanged between the two, both Ryu and Optimus shared a unspoken mutual recognition of each other's strength. Packaging bio
