The Evil Ryu secret got let out of the bag some time ago but Capcom used their resources to stuff him right back in that bag and we have not seen or heard about him or his buddy Oni since. This week we heard that Capcom we going to make him official and here he is. Now we get to check him out in direct video and high resolution artwork. So check it out and if you are lucky enough to be near an arcade with Super Street Fighter IV, go give him a workout.

So it is true. Evil Ryu and Shin Akuma (a real Shin Akuma, not the watered down one already in SSFIV) are going to be in Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition. The confirmation comes via a new trailer that was recently released by Capcom.

At the end of the trailer above we are shown images of Evil Ryu and Shin Akuma. Though both characters are both visually rather cool looking I can’t help but feel a little shafted if they are indeed representing the last bit of playable fighters we will be getting.

First off, we get Yun and Yang which are basically slight variations on the same fighter mechanics. Now we are shown Evil Ryu and Shin Akuma who would also be variation of already established fighter mechanics. Ironically Akuma and Ryu already share most of the same moves. So in the end it will likely be the same ol crap with a new paint job.

At this point I’m really hoping we get some seriously different fighters added to the game via time release or something or I will be a bit disappointed. Not saying I still wouldn’t play it… cause I would.

As the title of this posts suggests, the Ultra Shoryuken Costume Pack Available on PSN Today and Xbox Live Tomorrow. This pack includes new costumes for Dan, Akuma, Gouken, Ryu and Ken.

Awesome video by an animator by the name of Emezie Okorafor. Check what happens when Kazuya and Ryu battle over who has the best win pose.

The trickle of new alternate costumes for Super Street Fighter IV continues. This time we have Ryu wearing what is, according to Yoshinory Ono, “very Japanese and not Western”. Maybe that’s why he looks like a homeless breakdancer to be.

Also we got unblurred versions of Cammy and Juri’s alts.

You guys know the routine. Every week Capcom drops some new Street Fighter themed avatars pics for the Playstation Network. They are only $0.49 and this week we get T. Hawk, Seth, Juli, Juni and Ryu from Street Fighter 1.

This is rather impressive. A player by the name of Desk has recorded himself doing Ryu‘s trials on Super Street Fighter IV and he actually completes them! Just watch.

At Gamescom today Yoshinori Ono and Harada showed off Street Fighter X Tekken. Unfortunately it was the same exact footage that was shown at Comic-Con. However, Harada did see fit to show fans a little of what the Tekken team was cooking up for Tekken X Street Fighter. He displayed for the crowd what Ryu may look like when he appears in the Tekken engine though he admits that the model isn’t quite done and Ryu was even borrowing Paul Pheonix’s gi in the photo as they have not created one for Ryu yet. The ryu model actually looked pretty good except for the fact that he doesn’t look Asian at all but then again, when has he ever truly looked Japanese?

Harada also showed a promo pic which featured Jin and Ryu with Devil Jin and Evil Ryu behind them.

Yoshinori Ono just showed off some new pictures of Street Fighter X Tekken. He also mentioned that he will be showing off more of the game when he visits Germany for Gamescom. Check out the pics below which have have quite a bit of Chun Li versus Nina.

If you are a sneaker head and a Street Fighter fan, this may be a dream come true for you. Nike has teamed up with Capcom for some official Street Fighter inspired Nike Dunks! (more…)

In case you are interested the Super Shoryuken Pack was released today for Super Street Fighter IV. The pack includes new costumes for Ryu, Dan, Gouken, Ken and Akuma. (more…)

Here’s another cool “evolution” video. This time showing all the various incarnations of Akuma‘s signature move, The Raging Demon. One of the cooler aspects of the video is that they show more than Akuma doing the move. Evil Ryu, Sakura, Dan and even the X-Men’s Rouge are shown doing the “Instant Hell Murder”.

Out of the entire cast of Street Fighter games there is only one character that has appeared in every single game, Ryu. And boy has he come a long way! Check out this video which runs through the various Street Fighter games over the years and shows how Ryu has evolved. From a red haired boy in slippers to a ripped menacing hobo.
