It goes for the entire series. It's been in stasis for over a decade despite getting a new producer and still not much has happened except making time pass. That really didn't do anything. Look at KoF. It has time pass and yet it's mainly for story content and hardly aging the characters. That's how it should be. Tekken also does this well, thought it's story has fallen off with Hirada, despite him being great on the fighting side of it (depending who you ask). I really don't know why Street Fighter struggles as much as it does. It may be the priority is seeing the IP as a brand to be exploited now and not treat it like it has legacy.
@CaptainVulcan 9 күн бұрын
Honestly, Ryu came a long way from being the edgy karateka who has no friends or family. Kinda. And in hindsight, the Alpha/Zero series was the best thing that happened to him, narratively speaking. Alpha 2 laid his purpose bare, besides becoming the best he can be. Ryu... even had something akin to what I call a personality back then, funnily enough.
@blumiu2426 9 күн бұрын
@@CaptainVulcan Given Street Fighter was the first fighting franchise, story hadn't become a prominent aspect yet, which is why the creator rectified this when he made Fatal Fury. Alpha was simply to fill the game between the next entry, but it ended up being popular. It also did finally put story for the characters forward, so it was only the first time seeing it unless one watched animations. I've no idea what you mean by Ryu being edgy. You know what edgy implies, right? In no way, shape or form is Ryu that.
@CaptainVulcan 8 күн бұрын
@@blumiu2426 The old SNES and Genesis game manuals states that he has no family nor friends. Also his longtime inner battle with the Satsui no Hadou. Kage. That's pretty edgy to me. Then again, edgy is probably more suited in describing Akuma.
@blumiu2426 8 күн бұрын
@@CaptainVulcan So orphans are edgy to you? Having no friends isn't related to being anti-social, it's because of his upbringing and focus on training. And that's not true either, there is Ken. Having inner turmoil, a literal one, isn't edgy. Edgy describes a anti-social behavior that intentionally is rebellious, wanting to stand out. I think you need to check your definitions of things. You apply them pretty broadly. Then again, if you're young, probably not sure where it came from or started and just here how it is loosely used on the internet.

@theprinceofthebadlands5204 9 күн бұрын
Short answer, no. Long answer: Ryu is literally the face of Street Fighter and embodies the core values that the story wants to give us: to strive and be better than we were yesterday and to face the temptation of the easy way out by consciously deciding to not take the short cut and instead invest the hard work to be better than what the easy way could bring anyway. On top of that Ryu is literally the second most used character in the latest game, Street Fighter 6, with Ken being the most popular. It honestly just is not Street Fighter without him at least being in the game and being playable. He ain't going anywhere.

No Ryu doesn’t need to retire if they take out Ryu for the next Street Fighter game that means No more Street fighter games, no more Marvel Vs Capcom fighting games. I remember the original Concept for Street Fighter III games without Ryu, Ken, Chun li, Street Fighter III wasn’t successful during the test previews of the game Street fighter III. It’s like when Big boss Aka Naked Snake and Solid Snake Died that was the end of the Metal gear video game franchise it will be the same with Capcom’s Street Fighter

They pronounced Ryu as ‘rye-yoo’ We then changed it to ‘ree-yoo’ when the animated movie came out!

As far as stories goes, I would say Ryu always has the potential to make the transition of being a student for strength to finally becoming a dedicated teacher of it. Otherwise, I imagine he will mostly just play the part as the recurring champion that other new characters challenge in their respective journeys... While of course getting swept in by the stories of his friends, and they may have more tales to tell.

Retire the characters chasing down Shadaloo, since Shadaloo isn't really a thing anymore. Retire the gimmick/goofy characters Blanka and Dhalsim. Retire Ken since he's got more important things to do, than fight in the streets. To suggest that the character who's whole reason for being/fighting, (seeking greater challenge) retire, is laughable.

I view lore in fighting games the same way I view it in professional wrestling. It's all Kayfabe for the players but behind the scenes all fighting game characters go into the locker room give each other a hand shake and make plans for the weekend until next week's show. This explains how fighting game characters always seem to resurrect even in games they should be dead for according to the lore and any plot holes that exist in the often times convoluted story lines for each character. Ryu's story may be done, but he will always be a fighter and fighters never actually retire

It’s not so much you can’t retire Ryu as you can’t retire Ryu and/or Ken. I see Ryu as 1/2 of a character. The other 1/2 is Ken Masters. These two are bonded by an ironclad, fraternal rivalry. It’s the relationship between them which serves as the nucleus of this series. When the IP tries to get away from this, it suffers. Remember the one and done SF2010? How about when SF3 was trying to push Alex? How about all the film adaptations that’ve ignored this essential component and failed as a result. Without that binary compound of Ryu/Ken, SF seriously deflates. It’d be like eating a cheeseburger that hasn’t bread or meat. All your left with is cheese and condiments and that’s not enough.

In terms of his story YES but in terms of him being in Street Fighter NO. He has already mostly accomplished on what he strive of doing for the most part having to rid himself of the Satsui No Hadou and much fought against his enemy Bison. And at a point he wanted to avenge his master against Akuma but as it turns out he was still alive and his hate for Akuma kinda dwindle towards him. If anything now he just taking up the role of Oro and just seeking out opponents to challenge and nothing more and is not taking up anything important to the story just like some other characters. And no one stays retire in fighting games, only if they get kill off or at least forgotten if which in any case if Capcom were to kill off Ryu, the internet and everyone will be piss and explode. Hell just hearing the idea of Ryu retiring has already made the comment section implode with an emphatic *NO*.

The only remaining narrative thread left for Ryu is his quest to become the best fighter. But becoming the best fighter is not a matter of how many fighters he beats up to quantitatively measure how much better hes is in fighting. Its more like Ryu's own personal ideal. I'd like to see Ryu realize that he has reached his peak. He can't go any further without sacrificing his humanity like Akuma did by embracing SnH. Maybe the next storyline for Ryu is that he's building a dojo and recruiting students.

Why capcom never focused on makoto more is beyond me. They had something really special with her and so much potential story wise.

Not only is Ryu the face of street fighter, he is definitely needed in the roster as he is the foundation of how the game is played which means people usually would pick him to learn how the game works in every iteration of the game, even if capcom wants to sideline him in the roster lore wise, he'll always be there otherwise the fan base will also probably abandon the franchise, they made Luke broken asf in sf6 but ive still seen more ryus from lower tier to top tier online

Do you support modern or classic controls?
@kenfajardo6953 9 күн бұрын
I do a bit of both.. My mains are Guile, M Bison and Blanka all on classic, but if im just having fun I use modern Gief and JP to help with the mental stack

@@kenfajardo6953 So how is Ryu the foundation of playing the game then? Especially nowadays.
@kenfajardo6953 9 күн бұрын
@Ticketman99 Hes the most balanced character in the roster, he's got fireballs, DP..he's got easy combo routes that deal massive damage, and learning how to play Ryu is a transferable skill across every street fighter game even if you start from 6 and work your way down.

How does a videogame character retire? Especially with a fighting game. I've never heard of a IP replacing a character or removing them and succeeding still. Japan gets attached to characters so they don't like it, and those in US as well. I can only see some at Capcom that have been wanting to retire all sorts of characters for over a decade now and newest gen for whatever reason. Ryu shouldn't be hard to figure something out with narratively considering they haven't done anything new with him since tying him to Akuma. They haven't created any other characters or villain to give him a new arc nor have they thought to give him some new ambition. If the best they could think of to spice things up was to break Ken, it seems unlikely. I suppose they did age him up, but I'm not sure aging characters does much when time progression itself means little to a fighting game. They can easily have weeks or months pass and have new character emerge or some conflict arise. It may just be a stagnant series compared to others.

Does heihachis death count as retirement?
@cleon415 10 күн бұрын
Absolutely not. Nor should Ken. It becomes a different game entirely without them. See what was almost Street Fighter III. No sir.

It really doesn’t beat how the SFII sprites look in Capcom vs. SNK 1 & 2.

At most I think Ryu will stop being the star of the Street Fighter series going forward. Which SF6 does seem to suggest a passing of the torch if you will. Which doesn't mean the older characters are done so much that they are stepping back for the younger characters because they finished their story.

Ryu should be older and be a final hidden boss. Damaging hits and efficient. Ken should retire and have Mel take over. Bring back the alpha roll for sneaky crossups.
@KenMasters. 8 күн бұрын
I don’t think Capcom will do anything with my boy Mel. In 3rd Strike, Guile's teenaged daughter Amy/Chris could've taken his place, but they’d rather put in some lame emo d-bag named Remy on the roster.

We have been here before. Could you imagine Street Fighter III without Ryu?! It almost was when it was simply, Three: A New Generation of Street Fighters. That really would have been the end of the series. 😂

I would say Ryu hasn't finished his story until he becomes a true mentor. He has never officially chosen a student despite Sakura following him around. This reminds me: I would also like to see Sakura in SF6 to see how she leveled up. Did she become a housewife or something? She seemed to have considered changing her life path in SF5.
@BenetteG 8 күн бұрын
Speaking of SFV, in that game Sakura is around early 20's, so how old is she now? We know a significant time have passed since Mel was born during the events of SF4, and he looks to be around 7-8yo in SF6.
