Players to Watch
| Name | Region | Stream/Socials | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kusanagi | France | Twitch | The French prodigy, winner of Capcom Pro Tour 2024 qualifying event Ultimate Fighting Arena 2024 in a tense Grand Finals set vs Xiaohai. The hallmark of Kusanagi's play is his immaculate spacing, a fitting quality for a former tournament-level Luke player; notice how careful his movements are when he finds his desired position. |
| Yas | Japan | Twitch | A widely-admired Ryu main who has regularly been the #1 online ranked Ryu player. An all-rounder in style, Yas' play is a good point of study for those who wish to understand Ryu's potential on both offense and defense. |
| Semy28 | Germany | Twitch | One of Germany's star SF6 players, Semy28 can be counted on for his explosive, close-range style and his consistent Top 3 performances in the CPT 2024 World Warrior German region online series. |
| Paladin | USA | Twitch Youtube |
Representing Ryu on the US East Coast, a community featuring some of the toughest competition in the world, Paladin regularly places high in tournament and uploads in-depth analysis of their performances to Youtube. |
| EndingWalker | UK | Twitch | The first player to qualify for a Capcom Cup in the SF6 era while playing Ryu, EndingWalker has since shifted focus to Ed (the character he was most associated with in SFV) post-Capcom Cup X. At the time, EndingWalker's 'call-out'-heavy approach made a deep impression and was the most prominent showing of a then-unpopular character in the tournament scene. |
| Sekiganryu | Japan | Twitch | A standout player on Japanese netplay since SFIV, Sekiganryu has earned an international audience for his stolidly patient mid-range play over the years. He has maintained a high standard of performance going into SF6 and is maybe the most "classicist" in style among contemporary Ryu experts. |
| Darlin | China | -- | Regularly seen playing online against the cream of China, Korea and Japan, Darlin's unconventional strings and pressure-cooker offense has the appearance of improvisation, but this belies a deep technical understanding of the character. A must-watch for those who want to see Ryu played successfully at his most sideways. |
