Ryu
Ryu only has one goal in life: to perfect his skills and become the ultimate martial artist. A fairly aloof warrior, Ryu continually travels the globe in search of stronger and stronger opponents to help him achieve this goal. After defeating Sagat for the World Champion Street Fighter title, he was considered by most to be the most powerful fighter in the world. And yet, Ryu's true potential may still remain untapped, and only a glimpse of it was seen in his climactic battle with Shadaloo's leader, M. Bison. Only time will tell if Ryu can avoid being swallowed up by the dangerous power of the Satsui no Hado...
In a nutshell
Ryu epitomizes the saying of "A minute to learn, a lifetime to master" the most of any Street Fighter character. Ryu has all the basic tools you need: great normals, a projectile, an effect anti-air, FADC combos, etc. But as a result, he has very few gimmicks and shenanigans. You can get by playing Ryu with a solid understanding of his basic strategy, but learning Ryu at the highlest level requires very solid mind games and very solid fundamentals.
