==Summary==
Evil Ryu (殺意の波動に目覚めたリュウ, Ryu with the Surge of Killing Intent Awakened), is a character from the Street Fighter series who was originally featured in the 1996 Street Fighter Zero manga before appearing as a playable fighter in Street Fighter Alpha 2. This is the form Ryu takes if he ever succumbs to the Satsui no Hado. Ryu ultimately purged his evil half when he overcame the Satsui no Hado in Street Fighter V, but doing so gave birth to Kage.

Attack Potency: Island level (Due to having fully embraced the Satsui no Hado, he is comparable and most likely stronger than his normal self while using the same power, which was used by M. Bison to destroy Bangkok in an alternate ending. Obtained enough powerStreet Fighter Alpha 3 - Evil Ryu's Ending to defeat Akuma in a direct confrontation)

This technique can also be performed while in the air, striking the opponent while descending on the ground. The EX version features Evil Ryu rotating multiple times on place, generating a small whirlwind in the process.

*Shun Goku Satsu ("Flash Prison Murder")/Raging Demon: Evil Ryu glides towards the opponent and grabs them. Before anything else can be seen, the screen blacks out as the character is relentlessly beaten. The attack is a series of progressively faster teleport punches around the opponent's body until it progressively goes fully blank screens again. The punches are shown to be targeting vital weak spots located throughout the body, solidifying that the technique utterly destroys the opponent's body. This move usually defeats the opponent instantly or kills them, the basis of the attack is said to be linked to karmic forces, channeling an infernal punishment in which the weight of sins and evil the victim has committed casts a painful and supernatural death sentence upon them.
*Metsu Hadoken: Evil Ryu collects a mass of Satsui No Hado energy and fires it at the opponent. The move can be charged for up to 2 seconds to inflict more damage.
*Messatsu Goshoryu ("Annihilating Great Rising Dragon"): Evil Ryu begins with three Shoryukens. After the third Shoryuken, Evil Ryu punches the opponent further into the air. He then gathers dark energy in his hand before using his ki-infused fist to drive the opponent's face into the ground.
