Ryu in canon has an apartment and phone number. The guy that created him said it himself and I'm paraphrasing, "Ryu is a responsible member of society he pays taxes, has a job and even has a phone number." Apparently he works a lot of odd jobs like bodyguarding, bouncing, construction etc; He just saves up money, travels for a few months then when he's running low on funds he works. In the newest game, in world tour, he doesn't have to work anymore since Ken handles Ryu's finances now and when you got a billionaire handling your investments you're golden.
Amazing video bestie, it's incredibly well researched and informed, your insight on the topic is well over fantastic. I honestly didn't know there was this much depth to Ryu
Thank you so much!!! There's a lot more than most people realise, which is part of what makes it such a shame how Capcom has treated him. Thank you again!
Great video essay! I'm an absolute Ryu lover myself, he really is so much more than people give him credit for. I agree with everything you said about Kage but for the opposite reason lol Kage is nothing, and that's exactly what he should be. It's actually Kage's story mode that turned me into a Ryu fan and I think it sums up the core of his character, and also lends credence to how real fighters like Sagat and Akuma think. IDK. I guess it'd be disappointing if you went in wanting for Kage to be a cool badass you root for, but summat about how hard he gets shot down is so so insanely cool to me Good work regardless!!!!
Amazing video again! Have loads of Udon comics lying around but haven't given them a chance yet will rectify that soon! Keep it up man! With the great content you've got going I'll be asking you to share me around soon enough 👀
Thank you! I've been very excited to see Ryu's story develop in 6, especially as he's already been shown to have defeated the Satsui No Hado entirely and embraced Mu No Ken.
I will say that i kinda like Kage being so pathetic, for me it shows that him just being directionless evil and desire to destroy just gives him nothing and leaves him empty, cause even when he wins, he stills doesn't get what he wants, he wants to get aknowledged, he wants Ryu to need him, he wants Sagat to fear him, he wants Akuma to respect him, and he got nothing, the void inside him was never filled, even Akuma, can have his own moments of happiness by himself or wih others while Kage hates everything, including himself, he wants someone to admit that he is strong, that the satsui no hado is powerful, cause it's all he has, and when everyone just, pities him, he can't feel accomplished, so he goes back to Ryu, and while he's obsessed with Ryu, Ryu doesn't care, he's over Kage, he really did beat him with kindness, telling Kage to exist by himself, to find something that truly makes him happy, and Kage disappears, hopefully to try going on the same journey of self discovery that Ryu did, maybe even making the Satsui no Hado given a body learn to have his own soul and heart, i really like Kage, and while the story mode doesn't do him any favours, i would like to see Kage on street fighter 6, to see what he did, if he knows even a bit more about what makes him truly happy without destruction, maybe he likes animals, or some relaxing walks on the beach once in a while, maybe he even made a friend, he can still like fighting, but now he has something else to give him purpose now that he knows his own worth and doesn't need to try to convince people why he should be allowed to exist. Also i do find him kinda cute when he throws his tantrums, he's so bratty i just wanna give him a hug and show that he is a being worthy of love.
so now that sf6 is out what are your thoughts on ryu? Personally I find his new background mentor role interesting as he's sort of a new gouken but I will say his gameplay is highly underwhelimging compared to the other shotos and could use some much needed buffs

Nice breakdown. I appreciate the new look for Ryu, simplistic yet meaningful.
Thank you very much!
Ryu is still my main for 25 years
Can't beat the classics.
@@ashlikeadragon Indeed. Bssic design but effective
Great video summarizing Ryu's character dude! Keep up the great work Hazza!
I'll do my best, thanks so much!

i should be said that kage’s ragind demon is the best one ever (even better than akuma’s SF6)
Amazing video again!

Thank you so much dude! We'll just keep supporting each other!
Great video! Would love to see your thoughts on this after we see what happens in SF6
Thank you! I've been very excited to see Ryu's story develop in 6, especially as he's already been shown to have defeated the Satsui No Hado entirely and embraced Mu No Ken.
Great work. This kind of high caliber video makes me want to get in the game.
Thank you so much! That's wonderful to hear, I hope you do!
Good video fr❤
2:51 so that's why Elena isn't killed in her sf4 ending
Still can't believe Akuma has canonically smiled.

Thank goodness Thanos saved Ryu of the Satsui No Hado
