OVERVIEW:
Ryu is the most balanced character in the game. He combines offensive and defensive power, has a reasonably good projectile that guarantees good zoning, and his special moves inflict a lot of damage. Ryu had few changes, just minor improvements to some of his normal moves and a more efficient HP Shoryuken, which knocks down on the first hit.
NOTATION:
LP - light punch (jab)
MP - medium punch (strong)
HP - heavy punch (fierce)
LK - light kick (short)
MK - medium kick (forward)
HK - heavy kick (roundhouse)
