Ryu (SSB. Amplified)

Ryu is a guest character in Super Smash Bros. Amplified from the Street Fighter franchise. He is a starter character and Kyle Hebert and Hiroki Takahashi both reprise their respective languages roles.
==Moveset==
Ryu fights as he does from his game of origin and also the previous Super Smash Bros. entries. However, there's minor catch with his down taunt. With a surge of the Satsui No Hadou that can be used once per down taunt, all of his specials are automatically at their strongest without SF inputs. In fact a surge of Satsui No Hadou eliminates the need for SF inputs.

==Trophy Info==
===Ryu:===
Ryu, a wandering warrior and martial artist rooted in the Antsatsuken fight style. He travels the world, carrying everything he needs in a white bag. It contains everything he needs like currency, extra clothes, but no shoes. Ryu was trained by a master named Gouken, who also serves as his foster father. He's also found a best friend under another pupil of Gouken's, Ken Masters. He happens to train under waterfalls. That has got to be a tough training process.
===Ryu(Alt):===
Ryu's iconic Hadoken can provide a good poking game and has three variants, slow, longer reaching and faster, and the fire-based on which multihits. All of the these provide good poking and baiting tools. Tatsumaki Sempukyakyu does some decent damage and provide a forward motion, which can also serve as a horizontal recovery. Shoryuken is powerful uppercut that sends him upwards. Focus Attack allows to take one hit as he prepares a stunning punch, though it can be canceled with dash inputs before the punch. This stun can provide for nice combos or the finishing blow. The Street Fighter inputs are also used for better attack properties and can be used with normal attack buttons, too!
===Evil Ryu:===
This side of Ryu exists, would he give in to the Satsui No Hadou. This state of Ryu bares a more violent side and similarities to how Akuma acts. Ryu can still use abilities from his normal self in this state, but draws from the Satsui No Hadou rather than the Power of Nothingness or neither of them. Ryu draws some of his moves from Akuma, who wishes to see and fight Ryu in this state. The surge of the Satsui No Hadou is also responsible for the scar on Sagat.
===Shinku Hadoken/Shin Shoryuken:===
This all depends on the position from the opponent when the inital motion starts. When very close to his opponents, he delivers a power, combo variant of the Shoryuken called the Shin Shoryuken. If he is far away, Ryu instead delivers a powerful Hadoken variant called the Shinku Hadoken. The Shin Shoryuken sends foes skyward and is very effective on single targets. Shinku Hadoken is very effective towards groups and pushes foes off the stage in the energy blast's direction.
===Wrath of the Raging Demon:===
When you use one surge of Satsui No Hadou for the Final Smash, it becomes Akuma's signature finisher. Ryu rushes forward, with a surge of the Satsui No Hadou, and attempts to grab the opponent. A successful grab renders everything dark and Ryu delivers the unseen strikes to the caught opponents. The attack ends and undarkens everything on stage, including the fighters, with the oppponents launched and Ryu's back shown with a symbol that appears temporarily. The damage from the attack can still seen and attack effects are shown on the caught opponents.
