"I still don't have what it takes. I must train harder!"
The supreme icon of all fighting games; Representative of the genre and arguably the world's most famous character in the specific business, whether by his legacy, his history, motivation, his many appearances, historic marks, or even by his memorable attack yells ... Ryu, the endless wanderer, is popular between gamers and non-gamers; Who doesn't know the "Hadouken guy"?
Debuting in 1987 for the Arcade game called "Street Fighter" (which later would be renamed as "Fighting Street" in the domestic version for the TurboGrafx-CD), Ryu began his journey in search of a worthy opponent.. Even with his first game not being the impact predicted, the acclaimed sequel "Street Fighter II: The World Warrior" in 1991, revolutionized the industry and structured the genre of fighting games as we know today; serving as inspiration for many other franchises that have become as successful as the Street Fighter series.... Between these games heavily influenced by the adventures of Ryu, are Mortal Kombat, Virtua Fighter, The King of Fighters, Killer Instinct, and even Super Smash Bros.!
For this brief mark described, Ryu practically became the father of many major franchises derived from Street Fighter (which in the most cases, always contains in their casts, at least one balanced character and designed on the basis of standard moveset of Ryu), and always when there are opportunities for crossovers between Street Fighter and other series or mere cameos of the protagonist with white gi (which, in sidenote, he's a specialist), it's an honor for any developer.
That opportunity is now real to the Super Smash Bros. series! Not only by the fact that the game roster, since some time, is already accepting Third Party characters (one of them already included, is mascot and companion of the same company that owns Ryu and Street Fighter: Capcom!) or not even only by the recent opened Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot by Nintendo themselves ... But evidences found in the decrypted files from the 1.0.6 update in the 3DS version of Smash4, point out that the Gouken's pupil may be coming as DLC for the game!
This thread is in favor of the idea of having this respectful character in the cast of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, discuss expectations and share suggestions .. But we also support him on the Ballot! Even with the potential (and likely, inevitable) DLC already planned.. Because Street Fighters keep fighting to make the future brighter!
-------Who is Ryu?!
Ryu is experienced in the assassin martial art called Ansatsuken, alongside Ken (who became his best friend and rival) he was trained by the elder Gouken; Despite the nomenclature of the style, Ryu doesn't use his skills to murder, or even to become an aggressive person .. on the contrary, he's quiet, serene and focused, and fighting is his greatest motivation of life, learning from victories and losses over the years.
However, an evil that arouses in those who are users of the practice, fell into Ryu in a uncontrolled moment .. Satsui No Hadou, is like a corrosive disease .. that turns the fighter into a being insatiable for power, which leaves no opponents alive.
Akuma, the man who once attacked (and nearly killed) Ryu's master, was carried away by such influences in the past, becoming a true demon; He also challenged Ryu once, and filled him with motivation for the evil inside the young fighter be awakened .. Ryu didn't accept this fate, and in the midst of his quest to become a better fighter, he tries to find a way to overcome the Satsui No Hadou, before becoming his worst enemy or even die by the insistence to contain the evil power.
-------The Path of the Endless Wanderer
"This is the path of destiny."
Ryu and the Street Fighter franchise are historical just by the milestone of bringing life to the fighting games genre; But beyond all that, the Nintendo systems were a major influential to the success of the franchise in home consoles; and at the same time, the Street Fighter series also helped boost the sales and the recognition of some Nintendo hardware that it appeared; In the SNES, Ryu was consecrated between the characters of the 5 Best Selling games in the console, next to Mario, Donkey Kong and Link. And in the Nintendo 3DS, the Street Fighter series returns with great reception as one of the launch titles of the handheld. - Below you can check Ryu's journey at Nintendo, or by watching this video that will explore details from the exploits of Street Fighter:
Not only games starring Ryu were released on Nintendo systems, but also a big plenty of SpinOFFs and related; check it out:
and the Virtual Console service is also full of Street Fighter content;
-------Fight for the Future!
Now the big question: What Ryu could bring to Super Smash Bros.? ..
"The answer lies in the heart of battle!"
We know that most of the characters present in the cast, are from games of different genres, and often aren't even focused on fight .. That is, Smash Bros. it's all about turning non-fighters into fighters.. But Ryu is already a born fighter and comes from a fighting game; Basically, his addition in Smash Bros. would only be a simple transition from games of the same genre.. But for sure, this isn't an impediment..
Above all, when considering the metagame and techniques of the Street Fighter series, and how different the mechanics are from Smash Bros., with this legacy Ryu would bring to the roster a very different gameplay, though still maintaining his standards features, would be a great diversity to the cast!
Without contradicting what once Masahiro Sakurai said about bringing interesting concepts to the game.
Check below some of the suggested ideas;

That's it; the Fight is on! Ryu's learning path isn't over yet, and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U is one more stop for him; As many of the different faces he encountered before, every fight in Smash will make him stronger, but not only with the victory itself, but by making friends on the way!
Who hasn't heard of Ryu? He's an iconic and classic video game character with very good ties with Nintendo, so he would be a very safe bet if Mega Man wasn't confirmed and Sakurai didn't make that claim about fighting game characters. So in other words, I'm certainly not expecting him. Still, I thought a thread was necessary for my favorite Street Fighter.
Be sure to post movesets, stage ideas and more so I can expand the OP a little.
Everything is coming soon, so be sure to keep an eye on the Ryu thread!
