Ryu's Shoryuken is fully invincible, where as Ken's is vulnerable for the first 4 frames, although he can block during them. Also Ryu's Medium Kick has significantly less start-up although this is hardly relevant as this move is rarely used anyways. | Ryu's Shoryuken is fully invincible, where as Ken's is vulnerable for the first 4 frames, although he can block during them.

"Alright!"
Ryu (リュウ(隆) Ryū, "Prosperous", "Plentiful", "Abundant") is the main protagonist of the Street Fighter series. He is an experienced martial artist, highly focused on his training, aiming to become the strongest he can.
Ryu is the best character in both games, and is banned in standard SF++ play.
Ryu's Shoryuken is fully invincible, where as Ken's is vulnerable for the first 4 frames, although he can block during them. Also Ryu's Medium Kick has significantly less start-up although this is hardly relevant as this move is rarely used anyways.
Since Ryu with perfect DP inputs is fully invincible, it is impossible to create consistent counter play against a good Ryu in vanilla or SF++. As with practice it is not that difficult to chain perfect DPs.
For this reason Ryu is banned from SF++ standard play.
